The hierarchically urchin-like magnetic hydroxyapatite (HAp)/Fe3O4 composites were hydrothermally fabricated and were used for the removal of Pb (II) from aqueous solutions. The morphology, composition and properties of the magnetic HAp/Fe3O4 composites were fully characterized and investigated. The results showed that the HAp/Fe3O4 composites had a 3D urchin-like hierarchical structure with Fe3O4 nanoparticles dispersed among the building units. These urchin-like composites had high surface area and good magnetic responsibility. The equilibrium removal process of Pb (II) by the composites was correlated well with the Langmuir model, resulting in the maximum adsorption capacity of 223.71 mg/g. The high adsorption capacity and good magnetic responsibility suggest that the multifunctional composites have great potentials for heavy metal ion removal.

Results of investigation on adsorption of Mn2+ from aqueous solution by manganese oxide-coated hollow polymethylmethacrylate microspheres (MHPM) are reported here. This is the first report on Mn-coated hollow polymer as a substitute for widely used materials like green sand or MN-coated sand. Hollow polymethylmethacrylate (HPM) was prepared by using a literature procedure. Manganese oxide (MnO) was coated on the surface of HPM (MHPM) by using the electroless plating technique. The HPM and MHPM were characterized by using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Optical and scanning micrographs were used to monitor the surface properties of the coated layer which revealed the presence of MnO on the surface of HPM. TGA showed the presence of 4-5% of MnO in MHPM. Adsorption isotherm studies were carried out as a function of pH, initial ion concentration, and contact time, to determine the adsorption efficiency for removal of Mn2+ from contaminated water by the synthesized MHPM. The isotherm results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of MnO-coated HPM to remove manganese contaminants from water is 8.373 mg/g. The obtained R 2 values of Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm models were 1 and 0.87, respectively. Therefore, R 2 magnitude confirmed that the Langmuir model is best suited for Mn2+ adsorption by a monolayer of MHPM adsorbent. The material developed shows higher adsorption capacity even at a higher concentration of solute ions, which is not usually observed with similar materials of this kind. Overall findings indicate that MHPM is a very potential lightweight adsorbent for removal of Mn2+ from the aqueous solution because of its low density and high surface area.
