Preparation and characterization of plaster Kiln Dust-Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles

Abstract EN

Magnetic plaster kiln dust (MPKD) was synthesized as a unique, low-cost composite reused of byproduct plaster kiln dust (PKD), which is considered a source of air pollution.

The FESEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, VSM, and BET tests were used to characterize the MPKD.

The characterization revealed that the MPKD was nanotubes non-agglomerated and super-paramagnetic with a high specific surface area (102.7 m2 / g).

Compared with the specific area of other materials (composites), the MPKD could be considered a promising substance in the field of water / wastewater treatment.
