The structural, morphological and magnetic properties of MFe2O4 (M = Co, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn) type ferrites produced by thermal decomposition at 700 1000 °C were studied. analysis revealed that the are formed up to 350 °C. After heat treatment °C, single-phase ferrite nanoparticles attained, while after CoFe2O4 was accompanied Co3O4 MnFe2O4 α-Fe2O3. particle size spherical shape in nanoscale region confirmed transmission electron microscopy. specific surface area below 0.5 m2/g suggested a...
In recent decades, environmental pollution has become a significant problem for human health and impact. The high accumulation of heavy metals in waters soils from different sources was conducted finding efficient environmentally friendly treatment methods materials their removal, respectively. Natural zeolites have found wide-ranging applications remediation protection, considering various modification designed to enhance the natural zeolites' adsorptive or ion-exchange capabilities...
The formation, structure, and thermal magnetic properties of MFe2O4@SiO2 (M = Co, Mn, Zn, Ni, Cu) (60% MFe2O4/40% SiO2) nanocomposites produced by a modified sol-gel method, followed annealing at 300, 600, 900 1200 °C, were studied. analysis Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed the formation metal-glyoxylates below 210 °C their decomposition into corresponding ferrite around 300 °C. evolution crystalline phases variation crystallite sizes differs from to depends on temperature....
This paper presents the synthesis of metal doped Co ferrites, M0.2Co0.8Fe2O4 (M = Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+) embedded in SiO2 matrix by an innovative sol-gel route. The structural morphological characterization provided information about crystalline phases, crystallite size, shape prepared ferrites. thermal study depicted decomposition stability obtained X-ray diffraction indicated nanocrystalline ferrites with spinel structure lack phase impurities, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...

X-ray diffraction indicated that sol-gel synthesis produced...
Background: Metal transfer along the food chain has raised concerns about impacts on human health due to dietary exposure low but chronic concentrations. Soil–forage–milk–consumer is a short through which metals are able reach an organism. Methods: Pb, Cu, Cd, and Zn were determined in water, soil, forage, milk samples collected from free-range cattle farms situated near Baia Mare, Romania. The soil-to-forage (TFsf) forage-to-milk (TFfm) factors for risk three population groups (females,...
The structure, morphology and magnetic properties of (Ni0.6Mn0.4Fe2O4)α(SiO2)100-α (α = 0-100%) nanocomposites (NCs) produced by sol-gel synthesis were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM) vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM).
