Sargassum spp. affects the Caribbean shores; thus, its remotion or valorization is a priority. This work aimed to synthesize a low-cost magnetically retrievable Hg +2 adsorbent functionalized with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) based on Sargassum . The Sargassum was solubilized to synthesize by co-precipitation a magnetic composite. A central composite design was assessed to maximize the adsorption of Hg +2 . The solids yield magnetically attracted mass, and the saturation magnetizations of the functionalized composite were 60.1 ± 17.2%, 75.9 ± 6.6%, and 1.4 emu g -1 . The functionalized magnetic composite yielded 29.8 ± 0.75 mg Hg +2 g -1 of chemisorption after 12 h, pH 5, and 25 °C achieving 75% Hg +2 adsorption after four reuse cycles. Crosslinking and functionalization with Fe 3 O 4 and EDTA created differences in surface roughness as well as the thermal events of the composites. The Fe 3 O 4 @ Sargassum @EDTA composite was a magnetically recovered biosorbent of Hg 2+ . |
