Abstract

desorption decreased from ∼76% to ∼30%. The enhanced dual-removal performance of MNP-APTES-GA is attributed to synergistic interactions from amine and aldehyde functionalities, enabling combined electrostatic attraction, coordination, and supramolecular interactions. These findings establish MNP-APTES-GA as a versatile, magnetically recoverable adsorbent with significant potential for scalable, multi-contaminant water remediation applications.
