Biofunctionalized hierarchical mesoporous zeolite 5A–maghemite hybrids for Cd(II) adsorption: Surface chemistry and interfacial binding mechanisms

Cadmium contamination of water requires adsorbents that combine high removal efficiency, rapid kinetics, and easy recovery after treatment. In this work, two families of biofunctional magnetic nanohybrids, MCZO and MCZ1, were prepared by combining zeolite 5A with γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanop...
