Abstract: The present invention provides a water treatment composition capable of effectively adsorbing pollutants in water treatment. The composition can be rapidly separated by use of magnetic force, and hence is excellent in workability. The composition comprises magnetic particles for water purification, and is suitably used in water treatment for removing oils and the like in water. The magnetic particles are prepared by subjecting magnetic powder to surface treatment with a particular organometallic compound. The organometallic compound comprises a metal atom connected to an alkoxy group and an amphipathic organic group.

Abstract: The present invention provides functional particles capable of effectively adsorbing impurities in water treatment. The particles can be rapidly separated by use of magnetic force, and hence are excellent in workability. They are magnetic particles having surfaces modified with amphipathic groups loaded thereon. The amphipathic group comprises an ammonium or carboxylate group as a hydrophilic moiety and a hydrocarbon group as a hydrophobic moiety. The hydrophobic moiety has a function of adsorbing the impurities, and the hydrophilic moiety has a function of dispersing the particles stably in water.
