Maghemite nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3) were successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method as to remove toluene from sea water. The obtained sample was characterized with X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy which showed that the size of particles was in the average of 9 nm. Furthe...
