Abstract

In this study, magnetic Nano‑FeO4 particles were prepared and amino‑modified with APTES. The materials were characterized by TEM, SEM and other techniques. Moreover, the adsorption of phenol in water by amino‑modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles was investigated, and the effects of adsorbent dosage, adsorption time, pH value, temperature and initial concentration on adsorption removal rate were determined.
