The prepared magnetic microspheres had spherical core-shell structure with a uniform and continuous carbon coating coupled with activation by EDC, and possessed superparamagnetic characteristics. The experimental results showed that the adsorption amount of BSA on the EDC-activated Fe3O4/C（Fe3O4/C-EDC） microspheres was higher than that on the Fe3O4/C microspheres. The maximum adsorption of BSA on Fe3O4/C-EDC microspheres occurred at pH 4.7, which was the isoelectric point of BSA. At low concentrations（below 1.0 M）, salt had no noticeable effect on BSA adsorption. The BSA adsorption of Fe3O4/C-EDC microspheres had a better fit to the Langmuir model than the Freundlich isotherm and Temkin isotherm model, and the kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption equilibrium could be reached within 20 min. High desorption efficiency（97.6%） of BSA from Fe3O4/C-EDC microspheres was obtained with 0.5 M Na2HPO4（pH 9.4） as the desorbent.展开更多
