Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesised in accordance with the co-precipitation method; coated with peanut oil to stabilize the nanoparticles and their efficiency in the removal of nickel from aqueous solution was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzes were performed to characterize the green synthesised material. As a result of the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, the surface area of the Fe3O4 material coated with peanut oil was determined as 63.37 m(2)/g. According to the data obtained from the batch experiments, the nickel removal efficiency of the nanoparticle at the optimum conditions (contact time: 50 min, nanoparticle dose: 8 g/L, pH: 8, and initial nickel concentration: 30 mg/L) was obtained as 96.6%. Correlation coefficients of Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were determined as 0.623 and 0.986, respectively.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPeanut oilMagnetic nanoparticleGreen chemistryNickel removalJatropha-Curcas L.Green SynthesisPhotocatalytic DegradationMetal NanoparticlesGold NanoparticlesTio2 NanoparticlesContaminated WaterLeaf ExtractAdsorptionNi(Ii)Article10.1007/s11270-022-06030-92-s2.0-85145412243
