[0010] Step 2) Place the prepared mixed solution in a muffle furnace and react at 150-240°C for 6-24 hours

[0011] Step 3) The prepared ferroferric oxide nanoparticles are dissolved in an ethanol / water mixed solvent, and a silica shell layer is formed on the surface of the magnetic beads by an emulsion method using ethyl orthosilicate and ammonia water.
