Porous magnetic composites were prepared by the synthesis of molecular sieve MCM-41 in the presence of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles with average diameter of 15 nm. Nanoparticles were captured by porous silica matrix MCM-41, which resulted in their incorporation, as it was confirmed by TEM, SEM and X-ray diffraction. The materials possessed high surface area (392-666 m{sup 2} g{sup -1}), high pore volume (0.39-0.73 cm{sup 3} g{sup -1}) along with high magnetic response (M {sub S} up to 28.4 emu g{sup -1} at 300 K). Calcination of samples resulted in partial oxidation of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} to {alpha}-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}. The influence of nanoparticles content on sorption and magnetic properties of the composites was shown. No hysteresis was found for the samples at 300 K; at 5 K, H {sub C} was in the range 370-385 G for non-calcinated samples and 350-356 G for calcinated ones. - Graphical abstract: Schematic presentation of MCM-41/Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} composite.
