In the present study, a magnetic adsorbent, rhein-coated magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticle (RMNP), for Pb²⁺ and Mg²⁺ had been developed, and adsorption mechanism was studied via low-field NMR. RMNP was characterized by TEM, FTIR, and XRD. RMNP could adsorb and remove Pb²⁺ and Mg²⁺ from water and was successfully applied to remove Pb²⁺ and Mg²⁺ from wastewater, with satisfactory recovery rates and high adsorption capacities. The calculated maximum adsorption capacity for Mg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ was approximately 69.3 and 64.9 mg g⁻¹ of RMNP, respectively, which was better than some results reported. Low-field NMR results showed that Pb²⁺ or Mg²⁺ enhanced the T₂ relaxation time of RMNP, which suggested that RMNP selectively coordinated with Pb²⁺ or Mg²⁺ and led to the aggregation of RMNP, furthermore removal of Pb²⁺ or Mg²⁺ from water. The standard curves for △T₂-cation concentration exhibited good line correlation. The linear ranges were from 4.2 × 10⁻⁶ to 2.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ for Pb²⁺ and from 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ for Mg²⁺, respectively. The limits of detection were 1.4 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹ for Pb²⁺ and 2.1 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹ for Mg²⁺, respectively. In short, low-field NMR could clearly display the interaction between RMNP and Pb²⁺ or Mg²⁺, even be used to detect Pb²⁺ or Mg²⁺ in suitable condition. Besides, this method could be expanded to study the interaction between other magnetic adsorbents and analytes.
