Abstract

Amorphous magnetic particles demonstrate excellent comprehensive properties and outstanding characteristics for numerous applications. In this report, magnetic crystalline Fe3O4 and amorphous Fe-B nanoparticles were successfully synthesized and introduced to prepare water-based magnetic fluids. The Fe3O4 and Fe-B particles are homogeneous nanoparticles with an average particle size of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm. The shape of Fe-B amorphous nanoparticles is regular. The saturation magnetizations of Fe-B and Fe3O4 particles are 74 emu/g and 69 emu/g. The use of crystalline Fe3O4 magnetic fluid and amorphous Fe-B magnetic fluid in advanced treatment of high concentration organic wastewater was presented. The removal rate of chemical oxygen demand by using the amorphous Fe-B magnetic fluid reached 96%, about 16% higher than that by using the Fe3O4 magnetic fluid. Moreover, compared with Fe3O4 magnetic fluid, the treatment results demonstrate that the decolorizing effect by using the amorphous Fe-B magnetic fluid was 20% higher. It has been found that the nano-size Fe-B particles in magnetic fluid with amorphous structure led to high efficiency of wastewater treatment due to the catalytic activity.
