As a new type of polymer functional material, magnetic chitosan has been widely used in wastewater treatment. In this study, magnetic chitosan microspheres (MCMs) were prepared by reversed-phase microemulsion cross-linking technology, and the adsorption capacity of MCMs to organic pollutants with high chemical oxygen demand (COD) in coking wastewater was studied. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), brunauer - emmett - teller (BET), vibrating sample magnetom...
