Preparation of Fe3O4-Coated Microsilica Composites via Chemical Reduction Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fe3O4-coated microsilica composites were synthesized by a novel method. The struction like precursor Fe3O4 nanoparticles as the shell and microsillica as the core for the composite has been prepared by chemical reduction method. The Fe3O4-coated microsilica composite presents a saturation magnetization value of 38.03 emu/g, which is sufficient to complete magnetic separation. The synthesized magnetic composites are characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results indicated that Fe3O4 nanoparticles successfully coated on microsilica.
