Abstract:

In order to expand the pH value of the Fenton system to degrade dye efficiently, the catalyst FePcCl16/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (FePcCl16/MWCNTs), synthesized by means of FePcCl16 loaded on MWCNTs via reflux with H2O2 as oxidant, was employed to degrade Acid Orange 7 dye (AO7) under simulated solar light irradiation. The catalytic performance, influencing factors and catalytic mechanism of the catalytic system were characterized by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, thermogravimetric analyzer and X-ray diffractomer. The results show that the degradation rate of AO7 is 100% under acidic, inorganic salts and urea conditions in catalytic system, 97% under the neutral condition, and 75% under the alkaline condition. The degradation rate of AO7 is still above 95% after 5 cycles of the catalytic system. The results of catalytic mechanism show that the main active species of AO7 degradation in the catalytic system are hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals. Solar light irradiation promotes the production of active species to improve the catalytic performance of the system.
