Abstract

Cobalt crystals with hcp or hcp/fcc mixed structure were prepared by a solvothermal process based on the dosages of N2H4·H2O and the effect of crystal structure on their magnetic properties and Congo red (CR) removal abilities was studied. To our best knowledge, it is the first report on CR removal by micrometer and submicrometer sizes of Co crystals with the best CR removal ability reaching 694.4 mg g−1. For the hcp and fcc mixed structure, the degree of mixing can be clearly observed from the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. The micrometer and submicrometer sizes of Co crystals will be good for magnetic separation after CR removal.
