Highly cross-linked Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/P(S-DVB) particles were prepared in this research by suspension polymerization of styrene (S) and divinylbenzene (DVB) in presence of nanosized Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> particles. At first Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation of Fe<sup>2+</sup> and Fe<sup>3+</sup> from their alkaline aqueous solution. To stabilize the magnetic particles, the surface of the particles was modified with oleic acid. The morphology and surface structure were characterized by Fourier Transform IR(FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), and light microscope.The adsorption behavior of As(III) on composite polymer particles was evaluated and a comparative study with reference copolymer particles revealed that composite polymer particles possessed better adsorption capacity.</p>}, journal={Rajshahi University Journal of Science and Engineering}, author={Sharafat, M.
