Magnetic particles are widely used in many biological and medical fields, such as enzyme and protein immobilization, genes, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diagnostics, RNA and DNA purification, and magnetic cell separation and purification. This study investigated the role of magnetite nanoparticles in the extraction of arsenic from groundwater and industrial sources. The major goals of the work are the development of a sustainable water treatment system and the adsorption of Cd onto magnetic nanoparticles that are free of surfactants and soluble in water. A simple precipitation method was attempted to produce magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with a regulated size without the need for a high-temperature calcination phase. Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method and characterized by SEM images. Magnetite nanoparticles with a diameter of 15 nm have been applied to enforce the sedimentation of the solid waste to absorb the arsenic ions in water in the area of water purification. The cadmium removal capacity was evaluated for the synthesized nanoparticle.
