Anoxybacillus flavithermus loaded y-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles as an efficient magnetic sorbent for the preconcentrations of Cu(II) and Mn(II)

It was hypothesized that-iron( oxide nanoparticles (y-Fe2O3 NPs) functionalized with Anoxybacillus flavithermus (A. flavithermus) as an effective magnetic sorbent for the preconcentrations of toxic metal ions. It is clear to conclude that the main novelty of this study is that y-Fe2O3 NPs loaded with A. flavithermus is selective-specific for Cu(II), Mn(II). Structural functional groups of the samples were elucidated by FTIR, and SEM. Significant experimental parameters were investigated in detail. 0.2 mL min(-1) of flow rate, 5 mL of 1 M of hydrochloric acid as eluent, 150 mg biogenic mass sample, and 150 mg y-Fe2O3 NPs for supporting material were found as the best conditions. This developed method has been tested and verified using certified and standard reference materials. As a result of the studies, the pre-concentration factor of the Cu(II), Mn(II) metals was calculated as 40. All measurements showed that the developed solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns are available for 32 cycles. The use of y-Fe2O3 NPs equipped with A. flavithermus as an effective magnetic sorbent for the first measurements of ions was thoroughly studied. In order of the biosorption capacities were calculated as 26.0, and 30.3 mg/g for Cu (II), Mn(II), respectively. The developed method for specifying the samples showed excellent to excellent results.

Automated summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of Anoxybacillus flavithermus-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles as a magnetic sorbent for preconcentrating toxic metal ions. Optimal conditions were determined through the adjustment of experimental parameters. The feasibility of the method was verified through testing on certified reference materials.
