This project is aimed at preparation of nano filters using recycled foam of food containersenriched by magnetic nanoparticles, for nitrate removal from water. The characterization ofthis electrospun magnetic nanofiber depicted a high capacity for nitrate adsorption. TheScanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray powder Diffraction (XRD), Energy DispersiveSpectrometry (EDAX) and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) had been applied for thissurvey. In addition, magnetic behavior of nanoparticles was evaluated by magnetizationmeasurements. The functionality of designing filter against affecting parameters along withthe relation of these parameters with each other on the removal efficiency of nitrate wasevaluated. It is concluded from the results that the height of the nano filter and the amount ofmagnetic nanoparticles has the most significant effect on the nitrate removal from wateramong all other factors. Therefore, optimization techniques can assist to achieve highestefficiency.
