The purpose of the current research is investigating the phenylalanine removal by using magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) from water samples. The effect of pH, contact time and phenylalanine concentration on phenylalanine adsorption efficiency by magnetite nanoparticles are studied in a batch system. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray Diffraction Patterns (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the synthesized magnetite nanoparticles.
