Magnetic adsorbent of Fe3O4 and activated carbon (Fe3O4/AC) was prepared by chemical coprecipitation technique, and was characterized by SEM, TEM, BET, XRD, and VSM techniques in details. The adsorption results of Sr(II) on Fe3O4/AC revealed that Sr(II) adsorption on Fe3O4/AC surface was an spontaneous and endothermic process, and can be well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption of Sr(II) on Fe3O4/AC increased with increasing pH, and decreased with increasing ionic strength. Fe3O4/AC can be easily separated from aqueous solution with an external magnetic field after application.
