Abstract
Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2dopped Cu with magnetic properties had been succesfully syntesized and characterized. The research was began with the synthesis of magnetite and magnetite covered by silica by co-precipitation and sonication method, and the preparation of Cu-doped TiO2using sol-gel method followed by calcination. The concentrations of Cu were 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% (FST0, FST1, FST3, FST5, and FST7). The Fourier Transform Infra Red spectrophotometer (FTIR), X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrophotometer (SEM-EDX), UV-Specular Reflectance Spectrophotometer (SR-UV), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) were used to characterize the nanocomposite and external magnetic bar was used to separate the nanocomposite in an aqueous media. The Cu concentration affected the band gap energy (Eg) and the optimum result was 2.832 eV in FST7. The best magnetic propertieswas material FST0. The time needed for separate this material with aqueous medium was 372 second.
