Arsenic in water is currently a global concern due to the long-term exposure that could affect human health. In this study, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), CoFe2O4, and MnFe2O4 were successfully synthesized applied remove arsenic (As) from water. The MNPs characterized using different techniques, such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET), photoelectron spectroscopy ...

Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) in a transmission electron microscope offers the possibility of extracting high accuracy maps of composition and electronic properties through EELS spectrum images (EELS-SI). Acquiring EELS-SI for different tilt angles, a 3D tomographic reconstruction of EELS information can be achieved. In the present work we show that an EELS spectrum volume (EELS-SV),...

Well-defined CoFe2O4 nanoparticles embedded in amorphous SiO2 matrix have been synthesized by sol-gel method, characterized and investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The mean particle size was found to increase from 3 to 15 nm by varying the temperature of a subsequent annealing from 800 to 1100 ◦C. The composites exhibited superparamagnetic behavior with the blockin...
