摘要In this paper,magnetic composite Fe3 O4/CeO2(MC Fe/Ce) was synthesized via CeO2 covered onto the surface of Fe3O4 by sol-precipitation method.The as-synthesized samples were characterized by FE-SEM,XRD,SEM-EDS and FT-IR spectrum.The pseudo-second-order(PSO) kinetic can describe well the adsorption of Acid black 210(AB210) onto the as-obtained MC Fe/Ce of which the adsorption isotherm fits the Langmuir adsorption model better than Freundlich adsorption model.Furthermore,the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of MC Fe/Ce is about 93 mg/g,which is 6 times more than that of commercial CeO2 for AB210.Moreover,the removal rate of the adsorbates for AB210 is 82.3% after first adsorption and still about 70% the fourth forth adsorption experiments within 120 min,which demonstrates that the obtained MC Fe/Ce has outstanding adsorption capacity and good stability.Additionally,the composite can be easily separated from aqueous solution in a few seconds with an external magnetic field due to its magnetic property,which is vital and has potential for its practical applications.
