Development of hollow δ-FeOOH structures for mercury removal from water

δ-FeOOH, a magnetic iron oxyhydroxide, has a significant number of -OH groups on its surface. These provide an attractive platform for heavy metal species in contaminated water, giving it potential as an adsorbent. Its performance can be improved by increasing the number of active surface sites. δ-F...
