Magnetic ordered mesoporous carbon with superparamagnetic FePt nanoparticles has been successfully prepared via a simple nanocasting route. Polyfurfuryl alcohol was formed in the channels of mesoporous silica; FePt sources (iron(III) acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)₃ and platinum(II) acetylacetonate (Pt(acac)₂) were located in the framework of polyfurfuryl alcohol. After the carbonization process in argon, cubic FePt nanoparticles were formed in the carbon matrix. The FePt@C composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N ₂ adsorption - desorption technique, and SQUID magnetometer. The superparamagnetic FePt@C sample can be obtained at the lower FePt loading level; while at higher FePt loading levels, the FePt@C sample exhibits the ferromagnetic property. By use of phenol as a model pollutant, the adsorption capacities of FePt@C-L-700 and FePt@C-H-700 can reach 139 and 114 mg/g, respectively. The magnetic separation can also be realized using an external magnetic field. Therefore, the magnetic ordered mesoporous carbon composite has potential application as a catalyst support and adsorbent.
