Magnetic Fe3O4@Mg/Al-layered double hydroxide adsorbent for preconcentration of trace metals in water matrices

Abstract A magnetic Fe3O4@MgAl-layered double hydroxide (MLDH) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized and applied as an effective adsorbent for preconcentration of trace As(III), Cd(II), Cr(III), Co(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) ions from complex matrices. The quantification of the analytes was achiev...
