Synthesis, characterization and heavy metal removal efficiency of nickel ferrite nanoparticles (NFN’s)

Abstract The heavy metals, such as Cr(VI), Pb(II) and Cd(II), in aqueous solutions are toxic even at trace levels and have caused adverse health impacts on human beings. Hence the removal of these heavy metals from the aqueous environment is important to protect biodiversity, hydrosphere ecosystems,...
