Abstract

Background: Research in the field of sorption materials obtaining based on secondary resources is applicable, as it saves raw materials. One of the actively developing areas of chemical technology is the synthesis of ferrite composite materials (FC) as sorbents. Methods: The concentrations of Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The FCs compositions was determined by X-ray phase analysis. The morphological features of FCs were studied by means of electron-probe microanalysis on a scanning electron microscope. The sorption activity of FCs was investigated in the processes of sorption of methyl violet by spectrophotometry. Results: The possibility of copper-zinc ferrite materials obtaining from sulfate copper-zinc electrolyte by the co-precipitation method in four modifications was substantiated and experimentally confirmed. The possibility of synthesized FCs using for water purification from organic dyes, such as methyl violet, was proven experimentally. The features and effectiveness of the FCs application as sorption materials were evaluated. Conclusions: The main stages of copper-zinc ferrite materials producing were determined. The producrion scheme of FCs obtaining was proposed. It was shown that the presence of ferrite phases in the form of spinel with the general formula FexZnyCuzO4 and the developed surface of the FCs determine their high sorption activity. Significance: The practical use of industrial wastewater as a man-made raw material for the technically useful materials production has been further developed.
