Sequestration of chromium(<scp>vi</scp>) and nickel(<scp>ii</scp>) heavy metals from unhygienic water <i>via</i> sustainable and innovative magnetic nanotechnology

Abstract

values of 0.88 and 0.99, respectively. The magnetite/corncob nanocomposite outperformed other bioadsorbents in removing heavy metals from wastewater due to its environmental friendliness, larger surface area, reusability, and cost-effectiveness at an industrial scale.
