Neocuproine-functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles for extraction of copper(ii) from aqueous solution

Abstract

Neocuproine has been covalently bound to silica-coated maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) by a phenyl ether linkage. The resulting MNPs are able to remove Cu(II) from 12 ppm aqueous solution with an extraction efficiency of up to 99% at pH 2.
