The magnetic polymer microspheres were characterized by elemental analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm tests, swelling studies, scanning electron microscope SEM and vibrating sample magnetometer VSM . Adsorption studies revealed that the maximum adsorption capacity of m-p EG-VPN microspheres was 270.3 mg/g. Besides, kinetic, isothermal and thermodynamic properties of the adsorption were also investigated.}, number={3}, publisher={Hacettepe University}
