Bimetallic Oxide Nanohybrid Synthesized from Diatom Frustules for the Removal of Selenium from Water

Frustules or the rigid amorphous silica cell wall of unicellular, photosynthetic microalgae with unique porous architecture has been used to synthesize a composite by immobilizing zirconium and iron oxides on its surface and in the pores. This was effective for removal of Se from water, which is an...
