In this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized to adsorb six emerging contaminants (Tonalide, Bisphenol-A, Triclosan, Metolachlor, Ketoprofen and Estriol) from aqueous solutions. The PVP-coated NPs were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements, thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Results indicated that PVP-coated NPs were successfully used as a separable adsorbent for removing the micropollutants from water. Adsorption results were modeled using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, which showed a better fit of data to the Langmuir model. The adsorbent showed good adsorption performance in which Bisphenol-A and Ketoprofen were the most effectively removed micropollutants, with 98 and 95% removal using only 0.1 mg of the adsorbent within 15 min of contact time, respectively. Kinetic studies were performed using the pseudo …
