The invention belongs to the technical fields of magnetic materials and
wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a group of magnetically separable
wastewater treatment agent, namely a
zinc ferrite /
titanium dioxide (ZnFe2O4 / TiO2) compound, and a process for
processing wastewater by the compound. The method comprises the following steps: dispersing a template of carbon microspheres prepared from glucose into a
mixed solution of a
zinc salt and a
ferric salt with certain concentration; refluxing, stirring, aging and
drying at constant temperature to obtain a dark brown
solid; carrying out high-temperature
calcination to obtain hollow ZnFe2O4
powder; hydrolyzing Ti(OBu)4 under a certain condition to generate TiO2
coating the surface of hollow ZnFe2O4;
sintering at high temperature to obtain the ZnFe2O4 / TiO2 compound with different TiO2
mass fractions (
omega TiO2). The treatment agent is directly prepared by an ultrasonic-
precipitation-
hydrolysis-high temperature
calcination technology. Compared with a traditional process for preparing a compound material by a
calcination technology, the process provided by the invention is simpler, and has a better energy-saving effect; the prepared wastewater treatment agent can be conveniently recovered, activated, regenerated and recycled, and has the advantages of having a time-saving effect and being safe, efficient, cheap and
environmentally friendly.
