The decreasing levels of consumable water on earth have been a serious issue and this issue makes the researchers and scientists develop new technologies for the purification of polluted water. Several reports have been carried on wastewater remediation by utilizing spinel ferrite-based nanoparticles and their composites. The spinel ferrites-based nanoparticles utilized for wastewater treatment was cost effective, chemically stable, easily retrieved and reusable. The present work addresses the various fabrication techniques for the preparation of spinel ferrite-based nanoparticles and their utilization for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants through the adsorption paths.

Water remediation from hydrocarbons is crucial to reduce health risks. Numerous costly and, sometimes, sophisticated methods were proposed over the years. Herein, an innovative green procedure for porous polyanilines preparation is reported. Polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized by three different approaches ranging from traditional to more eco-friendly ones. Thermal, optical and morphological features of the resulting materials were investigated along with their surface properties. Finally, PANIs were tested as sorbents for hydrocarbons removal from waterbodies. Although an overall fast and high sorption efficiency is always observed, the effective hydrocarbons abatement performed by ‘green’ PANIs is particularly welcome in the context of environmental protection. Moreover, the sorption efficiency retention after five-run recycling tests suggests potential applications in wastewater remediation.
