【 摘 要 】

As highlighted in UN sustainable development goals 2030 report, one of the important challenge in future is to provide clean water. Thus, enormous efforts have been made to improve water quality from recalcitrant pollutants such as organic dyes, heavy metal and others. Magnetic nanoparticles is one of viable candidate to degrade the above pollutants due to its unique properties such bifunctional (catalytic and adsorption) capability & ease for magnetic separation. However, one of the main challenge is to maintain its colloidal stability to exploit its advantages for water remediation. Thus, this work explored its colloidal stability by coating it with heavy metal chelating agent namely Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA). The resultant clustered magnetic nanoparticles were evaluated its feasibility by using Rhodamine B dye and lead (Pb) heavy metal as model system. It is revealed that DMSA-coated magnetic nanoparticles is a viable candidate for this model system.
