Abstract: 
The effect of fillers: cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticle and various types of surfactants on the structure of the obtained ferrite-filled polymer composites and their adsorption and catalytic properties towards organic dyes in the Fenton system was investigated. Ferrite-polymer composites based on triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TGM-3) and pre-synthesized cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles with notable magnetic properties were obtained via in situ photoinitiated free radical polymerization. To evenly distribute CoFe2O4 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix and increase its porosity during synthesis, various surfactants, both synthetic (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and natural (rhamnolipids), were used. The synthesized ferrite-filled polymer composites are transparent, strong, elastic, and homogeneous in structure. The adsorption and catalytic properties of the obtained films based on a polymer composite TGM-3–CoFe2O4 in an aqueous solution of the organic dye methylene blue (MB) as a model wastewater pollutant were studied. It was found that the composites obtained with the addition of surfactants show good adsorption and catalytic properties, as evidenced by the high degree of MB extraction from the solution (up to 94 %). The use of natural surfactants (rhamnolipids) makes it possible to increase the adsorption efficiency by 4–5 %, and catalytic oxidation by 20 %. In addition to their adsorption and catalytic properties, these films are magnetically separable, allowing them to be easily removed from the environment and making them promising for water resource recovery processes.
