Title: Degradation of Congo Red dye by a Fe2O3@CeO2-ZrO2/Palygorskite composite catalyst: Synergetic effects of Fe2O3

Abstract

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 inmore » the field of heterogeneous Fenton catalysis.« less
