Abstract
The aim of this study is the preparation of magnetic nanoparticles and coating with glycine to remove heavy metals such as Cu+2. The magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method using using ferrous sulphate and potassium nitrate in presence of potassium hydroxide. Different instrumental analysis such as XRD, TEM, SEM and EDAX were used to study the magnetic nanoparticles which produced and comparing it after coated with glycine. The optimum conditions which reflect the high efficiency of removal are pH 10, concentration of the heavy metal 200 ppm, dosage 0.05 g and for 24 h duration time. Therefore we recommend using magnetic nanoparticles coated with glycine for removal of heavy metals.
