Abstract
Restricted supply of fresh water, amassing quantity of industrial as well as residential wastewater due to indiscriminate usage and lack of wastewater treatment infrastructure poses questions over supply of consumable fresh water for residential as well as industrial sector. Health issues and polluting water bodies due to industrial wastewater has propelled the research in treatment of wastewater with various synthetic as well as natural adsorbents. Magnetic nanoparticles are exceptional adsorbent material for removal of heavy metals from the wastewater due to its magnetic properties and good adsorption capacity. The aim of the study is to discuss the synthesis of these magnetic particles and study of their adsorption properties. The Removal of Cr(VI), Ni(II), Cu(II) and As(V) by magnetic nanoparticles had been reviewed including their characterization study which is usually carried out using TEM and X-Ray Diffraction analyzer. Insight on the adsorption isotherm was also studied.
