Treatment of Fly-Ash-Contaminated Wastewater Loaded with Heavy Metals by Using Fly-Ash-Synthesized Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Virendra Kumar Yadav et al.

Summary: Every year, a large amount of water is polluted by various sources, with coal fly ash (CFA) being a major pollutant. CFA contains toxic metals that contaminate water bodies through contact with water or rain. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), recovered from waste like CFA, show promise for wastewater treatment due to their low cost, recyclable nature, and magnetic property. The synthesis of IONPs from CFA involves three steps: extraction of ferrous materials, acidic treatment, and precipitation of iron oxides. The synthesized IONPs have a particle size of 30-70 nm and a purity of 90-93%. They can efficiently remove heavy metals from wastewater, particularly Pb and Cr ions from CFA solutions, with removal efficiency ranging from 40-70%.
