The invention relates to a method for applying ferrite MFe2O4 magnetic nano-particles to removal of
tellurium-containing
wastewater and an application of the ferrite MFe2O4 magnetic nano-particles. The method for applying the ferrite magnetic nano-particles to removal of the
tellurium-containing
wastewater is described in details in the description. Three types of the ferrite magnetic nano-particles of iron
cobalt ferrite,
iron copper ferrite and iron
manganese ferrite are provided. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that: the ferrite magnetic nano-particles are large in specific area, high in adsorption capacity to
tellurium and high in removal rate; the technology, when used for removing the tellurium-containing
wastewater, is little influenced by coexisting anions of Cl, SO4<2>, CO3<2> and NO3 in the tellurium-containing wastewater; materials used in the technology are strong in
magnetism, and can be easily separated from a
water body in a short time for recycling by virtue of an external
magnetic field after absorbing pollutants; and the desorbed tellurium can be recycled easily. According to the method, the treatment of the wastewater is finished, and the recycling of tellurium is realized at the same time, therefore, the ferrite magnetic nano-particles have a broad application prospect in removal of
metal anions. The ferrite magnetic nano-particles provided by the invention are mainly applied to the removal of tellurium, including
tellurate radical and tellurite radical ions in the tellurium-containing wastewater.
