Abstract

Indonesia, as one of the most populous countries in the world, requires clean water sources. Industrial waste that is improperly discharged pollutes water bodies with hazardous metals. Adsorption is one of the effective methods for reducing the concentration of harmful metals in water. This study utilized fulvic acid extracted from goat manure compost and combined it with chitosan and magnetite as an adsorbent material for Ni(II). The FTIR results for the magnetite-fulvic acid-chitosan composite showed a peak at 1627 cm⁻¹, indicating the presence of aromatic C=C, aromatic ring -OH, and quinone C=O groups, which confirm the binding of fulvic acid. BET analysis was performed on magnetite and magnetite-fulvic acid-chitosan, and the pore volume and pore size were found to be 0.177488 cm³/g and 6.5394 nm, respectively. The composite exhibited magnetic behavior due to the attraction between the magnetite-fulvic acid-chitosan and an external magnet. Adsorption tests using isotherm and kinetic models revealed that Ni(II) adsorption followed a multilayer mechanism and pseudo-second-order kinetics, with a b value of 121.68 mg/g and an experimental qe of 6.28 × 10⁻⁵ mol/g. This shows that the magnetite-fulvic acid-chitosan composite is a promising, sustainable, and magnetically separable adsorbent for the effective removal of nickel ions from contaminated water.

Abstract

Nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄) and its polymer-based composites have emerged as promising candidates for radar absorbing materials (RAMs) due to their unique combination of magnetic and dielectric loss mechanisms. This review highlights recent advances in synthesis strategies, including sol–gel, hydrothermal, co-precipitation, and microwave-assisted methods, which enable precise control of particle size, morphology, and crystallographic defects. Such control supports flexible structural design of nickel ferrite spinel structures, allowing dopant incorporation to tailor magnetic anisotropy and saturation magnetization. These structural features directly affect electromagnetic performance. Magnetic loss is mainly governed by natural resonance and, to a lesser extent, eddy current effects, while dielectric loss arises from dipole polarization, interfacial polarization, and conduction loss. The synergistic balance of magnetic and dielectric losses makes nickel ferrite–polymer nanocomposites promising broadband radar absorbing materials. The discussion emphasizes the role of cation substitution, polymer matrices, and hybridization with carbon-based materials in enhancing microwave absorption bandwidth and impedance matching. Various synthesis approaches, including sol–gel, hydrothermal, and in-situ polymerization, are compared with respect to their influence on particle size, morphology, and absorption efficiency. Challenges such as limited bandwidth, thermal and mechanical stability, and scalability are highlighted, along with potential solutions through advanced nanostructuring, multifunctional design, and sustainable synthesis. Future research directions are also outlined to support the development of next-generation stealth and electromagnetic interference shielding technologies.
