Summary

This research improves iron oxide nanoparticles for pollutant removal by addressing aggregation issues. Using pectin surface modification, particularly low methoxyl pectin via functionalization, enhances stability and adsorption efficiency. The modified nanoparticles achieve up to 95% methylene blue removal, demonstrating a significant improvement for environmental remediation applications.
