摘要
To obtain adsorbents with high As(V) removal capacity and quick magnetic separation simultaneously, we have fabricated maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) chestnutlike hierarchical nanostructures (CHNs) with strong ferromagnetic property by annealing the Fe2O3 chestnutlike amorphous core/gamma-phase shell hierarchical nanoarchitectures (CAHNs) at different temperatures in a nitrogen atmosphere. Compared to the Fe2O3 CAHNs, the saturated magnetization of the as-obtained gamma-Fe2O3 CHNs is enhanced over 10 times, while the As(V) removal capacity is maintained 74% and reaches 101.4 mg.g(-1). Both of the as-obtained gamma-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 CHNs can be separated simply and rapidly from treated water by magnetic separation after As(V) adsorption treatment. The As(V) adsorption process of the as-obtained gamma-Fe2O3 CHNs obeys well the Freundlich isotherm model rather than the Langmuir one, suggesting that a multilayered adsorption occurs on the surface of the gamma-Fe2O3 CHNs. Taking advantages of the high adsorption capacity, fast adsorption rate and quick magnetic separation from treated water, the gamma-Fe2O3 CHNs developed in the present study is expected to be an efficient magnetic adsorbent for As(V) removal from aqueous solutions.
