Abstract

A magnetic strong base anion exchange resin with high mechanical strength and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of resin materials. The preparation method comprises steps of: adding a conventional strong base anion exchange resin to a mixture of trivalent iron salt and divalent iron salt, and then mixing the resin adsorbed with the iron salt with aqueous ammonia so that Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are contained in the resin structure. Then, the resin containing Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles is added to alcoholic solution dissolved with silane coupling agent to form a dense SiO 2 coating on the surface of the resin, so as to obtain magnetic strong base anion exchange resin with high mechanical strength.
