A newly designed Fe₂O₃@CeO₂-ZrO₂/Palygorskite heterogeneous Fenton catalyst with high degradation efficiency toward Congo Red (CR) is reported in this paper. The iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) was used as the originator of hydroxyl radicals (OH), CeO₂-ZrO₂ was used as an efficient matrix of Fe₂O₃ to enhance the oxidation performance, and the Palygorskite (Pal) played the role of substrate and adsorbent. A synergetic effect of the catalyst was realized by enhancing the adsorption capacity and dispersibility of CeO₂-ZrO₂ and Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, and also due to charge transfer between these two species. The products were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, XPS, VSM and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The catalytic activities were evaluated in terms of many reaction parameters. The removal efficiency of CR was up to 95% on Fe₂O₃@CeO₂-ZrO₂/Pal under optimized conditions (Pal accounted for 30% of the catalyst mass fraction and Ce/Zr atoms molar ratio = 8:2, T = 30 °C, pH = 3.4, 4 g L^-1 catalyst, 40 mM H₂O₂ and 500 mg/L CR), the product also has shown good reusability. Both α-Fe₂O₃ and CeO₂-ZrO₂ played important roles in the generation of hydroxyl radicals, which determined the catalytic efficiency of the composite catalyst. Fe₂O₃@CeO₂-ZrO₂/Pal was proven to be a promising candidate in the field of heterogeneous Fenton catalysis.
