Abstract
Magnetic Fe3O4C nanocomposites with welldefined coreshell structure were synthesized via a facile onestep solvothermal process using ferrocene as both iron and carbon resource in the presence of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 The asprepared Fe3O4C nanocomposites were employed as adsorbent materials for removal of methylene blue MB from aqueous solution Several experimental parameters including contact time acidity of the solution and initial MB concentration were investigated The result showed that the equilibrium uptake of MB was related to the MB initial concentration as well as acidity of the solution The adsorption kinetics of MB was dominated by the pseudosecond order reaction model Significantly the synthesized Fe3O4C nanocomposites could be easily isolated from the adsorption system after adsorbing MB and showed prominent reusability All results indicated that the prepared Fe3O4C composites had the potential to be used as adsorbents for the removal of dye pollutant from wastewaterThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China Grant No 21403091 the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province China Grant No BK20130486 and a Project Funded by Jiangsu University for Senior Intellectuals Grant Nos 12JDG093 and 14JDG128
