The Santa Barbara Amorphous-15-guar gum--poly (acrylic acid)/cobalt ferrite (SBA-15-GG--PAA/CoFeO) mesoporous adsorbent was prepared by graft copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA) onto guar gum (GG) in the Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15) substrate presence, followed by incorporating CoFeO magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Diverse analyses were conducted to identify the prepared mesoporous adsorbent’s
