Abstrakt: In this study, we used clinoptilolite-supported iron hydroxide NPs ( $$\hbox {Fe(OH)}_{3}$$ /Cp) for evaluating the simultaneous removal of $$\hbox {NO}_{3}^{-}$$ and $$\hbox {PO}_{4}^{-3}$$ . Remediation was investigated in a range of initial concentrations of $$\hbox {NO}_{3}^{-}$$ (0-25 mg/L) and $$\hbox {PO}_{4}^{-3}$$ (0-25 mg/L) as a function of pH (2-8), nanoparticles concentration (1 and 0.5 g/L). To achieve the best result, the weight ratio of raw material in iron sulfate versus clinoptilolite (5:1, 2:1, 1:1, 2:1) was tested. The highest pollutant removal was obtained 93% for $$\hbox {PO}_{4}^{-3}$$ in 5:1 ratio of Fe versus clinoptilolite and 81% for $$\hbox {NO}_{3}^{-}$$ in 1:2 ratio of Fe versus clinoptilolite at the pH of 2. Kinetic data for $$\hbox {NO}_{3}^{-}$$ and $$\hbox {PO}_{4}^{-3}$$ were well fitted in the pseudo-first-order model and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. Based on the results, it may be concluded that $$\hbox {Fe(OH)}_{3}$$ /Cp NPs can effectively be used for simultaneous removal of $$\hbox {NO}_{3}^{- }$$ and $$\hbox {PO}_{4}^{-3 }$$ from water resources.
