Magnetically controlled alginate-encapsulated aluminosilicates: highly effective sorbents for the target removal of heavy metals from wastewater

Key Points

• Effective sorbents remove heavy metals from wastewater, improving environmental safety and sustainability.
• The materials show a marked reduction, with over 90% efficiency in capturing targeted pollutants within 24 hours.
• Analysis of the encapsulated aluminosilicates demonstrates strong adsorption capabilities under controlled magnetic conditions.
• Potential applications in wastewater treatment call for scalable methods and further testing in real-world settings.
