Lead ferrite activated carbon magnetic composite for efcient removal of phenol from aqueous solutions: synthesis, characterization, and adsorption studies

A novel lead ferrite-magnetic activated carbon (lead ferrite-MAC) composite was developed using the chemical co-precipitation method. Instrumental analyses such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller...
