Abstract: Porous magnetic chitosan microspheres with average diameter about 600 μm were prepared by high voltage electrostatic method through mixing Fe3O4 particles into CS with silicagel as pore-forming agent and then adding them into thermal NaOH solution to get porous structure. This research studied the preparation technology , as well as the structure and morphology of microsphere with SEM, the results of which indicate that holes of porous magnetic chitosan microspheres with the size approximately 50 μm were uniformly dispersed in the microsphere when the mass volume fraction of chitosan acetic acid aqueous solution was 5% and mSmCS was 4∶1. Due to its large amount of hydroxyl groups and amino groups, porous magnetic chitosan microspheres could be widely used to deal with acidic dyestuff to improve environment and separated from dirty water by adding magnetic field.
