Nano-magnetite wasused as an eco-friendlysorbent (without the usage of surfactants during the synthesis) for removing Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III) from water and wastewater. A single 7 nm cubic phasefor magnetitewas ascertained by X-Rays diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM).Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) image showed the agglomeration of magnetite particles upon adsorption. The Langmuir isotherm was used to estimate themaximum adsorpti
