Carbon-coated Fe 3 O 4 porous particle was synthesized with phenolic resin as carbon source by using impregnating pyrolysis. The magnetic property, phase structure, pore structure, and surface morphology of pyrolysis products were characterized by vibrating specimen magnetometer, X-ray diffraction, BET, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Also, the adsorption properties of iron (III) ions on Fe 3 O 4 @C as well as pure carbon, including adsorption isothermal, kinetics, and pH effect, were investigated. The results showed that the size of synthesized Fe 3 O 4 @C particles ranged from 10 to 50 μm with micro-meso pores sized below 5 nm. The main phases of Fe 3 O 4 @C were magnetite, graphite and amorphous carbon. The adsorption kinetics of iron (III) ions on Fe 3 O 4 @C could be expressed by the pseudo second-order kinetic model and the adsorption isotherm was fitted by a Freundlich model. Nano-Fe 3 O 4 had synergism to porous carbon on the absorption of iron (III) ions.
