Phosphorylation of Guar Gum/Magnetite/Chitosan ...
· The incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles enhances solid/liquid. Functional groups are characterized by FTIR spectroscopy while textural properties are qualified by N2 adsorption. The optimum pH is close to 4 (deprotonation of amine and phosphonate groups). Uptake kinetics are fast (60 min of contact), fitted by a pseudofirst order rate equation. Maximum sorption capacities are close to .
