Superparamagnetic Fe3O4@FePO4 nanoparticles with core shell structure were prepared by coating iron phosphate on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles by liquid phase deposition method. The prepared materials were characterized by vibrating sample magnetometer, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, nano Zetasizer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectrometer. These characterization methods were also used to describe the adsorption mechanism. The obtained composite material was used for the adsorption of a heavy metal element, cadmium. Its unique magnetic properties are favorable for rapid separation and preconcentration of trace cadmium from aqueous solutions. About 100% sorption was achieved at pH 7 for 1mL, 10μgL−1 of cadmium. Batch adsorption experiments show that the adsorption fits Langmuir model, and a maximum adsorption capacity 13.51mgg−1 is derived for Cd(II). The retained Cd(II) could be readily recovered by 200μL of HNO3 (0.01molL−1). The cadmium in the eluate is quantified with detection by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). A sample volume of 2000μL creates an enrichment factor of 10.3, along with a detection limit of 0.021µgL−1 (3σ, n=7) and a RSD of 1.3% (0.1µgL−1, n=7) within a linear calibration range of 0.05–0.5µgL−1. The practical applicability of this procedure was validated by analyzing cadmium contents in a certified reference material (GBW08608) and two environmental water samples.
