Abstract

The low-dimensional maghemite γ-Fe2O3 has been synthesized by the precursor method. The basic formate of the composition Fe(OH)(HCOO)2 produced by an original technique was used as a precursor. A study of the magnetic and adsorption properties of the synthesized maghemite showed that it is ferrimagnetic in a wide temperature interval and an effective sorbent for removal of bivalent copper ions from aqueous solutions. The process of adsorption of Cu2+ ions by γ-Fe2O3 powder is described by the Langmuir equation. A comparison of the obtained parameters of the Langmuir equation with available literature data reveals that, allow for the specific surface area, the maghemite powder synthesized in this work surpasses the maghemite samples produced by other methods in the adsorption capacity with respect to copper ions.
