Abstract
This study aimed to examine biodecolorization and biotransformation of methylene blue (MB) using mixed cultures of brown-rot fungus Daedalea dickinsii and filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae. In addition, the ratio of D. dickinsii and A. oryzae in mixed cultures was 1 : 1, and the sample was incubated at 30 °C for 7 days in liquid medium potato dextrose broth (PDB). The results showed that the sample had the ability to remove and transform 95.24 mg L-1 MB. In this study, mixed cultures had the highest removal percentage of 64.77%, while values of 5.94% and 36.82% were obtained for single cultures of D. dickinsii and A. oryzae, respectively. LC-TOF/MS analysis results showed that peak intensity of MB compound (m/z 284) in each treatment chromatogram decreased compared to the control. The metabolites of decolorization by D. dickinsii were C15H16N3S, C16H19N3SO, and C16H21N3SO, while C31H48N3S+ was obtained using A. oryzae. For mixed cultures, the metabolites obtained included C26H37N2O3S, C9H8N2O3S, C28H38NO2S, and C27H27N5S2. Based on the results, mixed cultures of D. dickinsii and A. oryzae had a high MB decolorization and could be used in the textile industry.

Abstract
In the present study, drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS) was reused as a catalyst in advanced oxidation processes for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. After determining their chemical and mineralogical compositions by X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), and FT-IR spectra. DWTS has been used as a heterogeneous photo Fenton-Like catalyst for the oxidation of MB under different parameters, including pH (3-6), H2O2 concentration (9.79-29.37 mM), and dose (1-2.5 g/L). The results showed that within 180 min and under UV light irradiation, more than 86% of MB having a concentration of 50 mg/L were removed using a catalyst loading of 1.5 g/L, a H2O2 dosage of 23.17 mM and a solution pH of 5. The DWTS has a satisfactory stability as the catalyst is stable and have very less iron leaching property.

Abstract
In this work, efficient Fenton strategy have been proposed for degradation of shale gas fracturing flow-back wastewater using the spherical Fe/Al2O3 supported catalyst. Prior to actual fracturing fluid treatment, the typical model wastewaters such as p-nitrophenol and polyacrylamide were employed to evaluate the catalytic properties of prepared catalyst, and then Fenton treatment of the shale gas fracturing flow-back wastewater was performed on the self-assembled catalytic degradation reactor for continuous flow purification. Results showed that under the conditions of 0.25 mol L-1 impregnating concentration, pH 4, 50 g L-1 catalyst and 0.75 mL L-1 30% H2O2, the removal efficiency of p-nitrophenol and polyacrylamide reached 74% and 61%, respectively, while the COD removal of fracturing flow-back fluid was approximately 48% with the residual 88 mg L-1 COD, meeting the emission standards of the integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB 8978-1996, COD < 100 mg L-1). This work offers new alternatives for Fenton treatment of real wastewater by efficient and low-cost supported catalysts.

Abstract
Recently, photo-Fenton technology has been widely used to degrade tetracycline (TC) because of its great efficiency and wide application range. Herein, Fe-Ni layered double hydroxides (FeNi-LDH)/Ti3C2 photo-Fenton system was constructed in this study. The results showed the introduction of Ti3C2 solved some problems of FeNi-LDH such as poor conductivity, easy aggregation, and high recombination rate of photoelectron. Benefiting from these advantages, FeNi-LDH/Ti3C2 exhibited excellent TC removal rate of 94.7% while pure FeNi-LDH was only 54%. Besides, FeNi-LDH/Ti3C2 possessed strong pH tolerance (2-11) and the removal efficiency was still up to 82% after the four-cycle experiment. Furthermore, the quenching experiments revealed the reaction mechanism, where ∙OH and ·O2- were the primary active radicals for degrading TC. Last, the results of the simulated wastewater treatment and the inorganic ion interference tests showed that FeNi-LDH/Ti3C2 possessed practical application potential. In brief, this study shows that FeNi-LDH/Ti3C2 can offer a certain theoretical basis for the actual development of hydrotalcite in heterogeneous photo-Fenton systems.

Abstract
The disposal process of iron-containing sludge often leads to secondary pollution. Pyrolysis of sludge appears to be less polluting than conventional methods. Herein, the heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts were prepared using sludge generated in the dyeing wastewater through a simple one-step pyrolysis route. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, XPS, EDS, BET, and SEM. The batch experiments for methyl orange (MO) degradation were performed to evaluate the efficiency and stability of the catalysts. Among the catalysts prepared, FeCN-300 exhibited the best degradation efficiency with 92% removal of the pollutant and good stability, with approximately 90% removal of the pollutant after five cycles. The •OH was identified as the dominant reactive species. This work provides a reasonable resource utilization of iron-containing sludge.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising soil contamination amendment agents for its efficient absorbing abilities. However, the application of LDHs in remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil are to be developed. In this study, we synthesized MgAlFe-LDHs by introducing Fe3+ into interlayer of the MgAl-LDHs using co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were employed to characterized the micro structure of MgAlFe-LDHs. And then pot incubation and pilot experiments were conducted to investigate the heavy metal removal efficiencies of MgAlFe-LDHs and its potential being applicated in As contaminated soil amendment from a deserted arsenic plant site. Incubation experiments showed that the MgAlFe-LDHs had a higher removal efficiency on arsenic contaminated soil compared to other agents. And the results of pilot experiments indicated that the MgAlFe-LDHs can immobilize up to 90% of the As in soil with 5% (w/w) addition. Based on the results above, MgAlFe-LDHs are promising materials amending the heavy metal contaminated soil with practical application value.

Abstract
The photo-Fenton oxidation process was employed to degrade methylene blue (MB) using a hydroxide sludge/hydrochar-Fe composite as a catalyst prepared by physical activation of raw hydroxide sludge from a drinking water treatment plant and hydrochar-Fe prepared by hydrothermal carbonization from two-phase olive mill waste. The prepared composite was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, ICP, and FT-IR. The effect of major parameters, including pH, H2O2 concentration, and a dose of composite on the removal of MB has been studied. The results indicated that the MB decolorization rate increased with the increase of H2O2 concentration and catalyst addition; however, further increase in H2O2 concentration and catalyst dosage could not result in an increase of MB removal efficiency. A high degradation of 95% was achieved within 150 min under UV light irradiation at natural pH (pH = 5), a catalyst loading of 2.5 g/L, a H2O2 dosage of 14.68 mol/L, and MB concentration of 50 mg/L. Recycling studies show a MB decolorization of 92% after three cycles and the use of the composite for the degradation of another dye (methyl orange) shows a degradation of 99%, demonstrating that this composite is a promising heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for long-term removal of dyes from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
The traditional electro-Fenton (EF) has been facing major challenges including narrow suitable range of pH and non-reusability of catalyst. To overcome these drawbacks we synthesized FeIIFeIII-layered double hydroxide modified carbon felt (FeIIFeIII LDH-CF) cathode via in situ solvo-thermal process. Chemical composition and electrochemical characterization of FeIIFeIII LDH-CF were tested and analyzed. The apparent rate constant of decay kinetics of ofloxacin (OFC) with FeIIFeIII LDH-CF (0.18 min-1) at pH 7 was more than 3 times higher than that of homogeneous EF (0.05 min-1) at pH 3 with 0.1 mM Fe2+ under same current density (9.37 mA cm-2). Also, a series of experiments including evolution of solution pH, iron leaching, OFC removal with trapping agent and quantitative detection of hydroxyl radicals (OH) were conducted, demonstrating the dominant role of OH generated by surface catalyst via ≡ FeII/FeIII on LDH cathode for degradation of organics as well contributing to high efficiency and good stability at neutral pH. Besides, formation and evolution of aromatic intermediates, carboxylic acids and inorganic ions (F-, NH4+ and NO3-) were identified by High-Performance Liquid chromatography, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and ionic chromatography analyses. These findings allowed proposing a plausible degradation pathway of OFC by OH generated in the heterogeneous EF process.

The synthesis and degradation of methyl orange (MO) in an ultraviolet-assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like process via the iron terephthalate (MIL-53) catalyst are demonstrated. MIL-53 material was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DR-UV-Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. It was found that the obtained material shares an identical pattern of the MIL-53 structure with high crystallinity and also demonstrates the mesoporous phase with a pore diameter of around 4.2 nm and specific surface area, SBET, of 88.2 m2·g−1. MIL-53 with UV irradiation exhibits high catalytic activity for MO degradation by hydrogen peroxide. The factors affecting the efficiency of MO decomposition including pH of the solution, H2O2 concentration, catalyst dosage, initial MO concentration, and reaction temperature were addressed. The present catalyst is stable after four recycles with slight catalytic activity loss which makes it a potential candidate for environmental restoration.

Abstract
MgFe-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were prepared by co-precipitation method with the ratios of [Mg2+]/[Fe3+] varied in the range of 2:1-6:1, and occupied as heterogeneous catalysts for the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) in the Fenton process. MgFe-LDH prepared with the ratio of [Mg2+]/[Fe3+] at 3:1 was verified to be of high purity. The Fenton-like process catalyzed by MgFe-LDH performed excellently, and more than 97% degradation of MB was obtained with 0.5 mmol/L H2O2 and 0.50 g/L MgFe-LDH at initial pH 2 at room temperature. The occurrence of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) was detected and the mechanism was proposed. MgFe-LDH is of excellent catalytic activity and good reusability.

Abstract
In this paper, CuO and CeO2 were screened as co-catalyst components for Fe2O3/attapulgite (ATP) catalyst, and three new catalysts (CuO–Fe2O3/ATP, CeO2–Fe2O3/ATP and CuO–CeO2–Fe2O3/ATP) were prepared for degradation of methylene blue (MB). The three catalysts' characteristics were determined by BET, XRD, FT-IR, SEM and XPS. MB degradation in different systems and at different pH values was also studied. Under the conditions of H2O2 concentration of 4.9 mmol L−1, catalyst dosage of 5 g L−1, pH of 5, reaction temperature of 60 °C and MB initial concentration of 100 mg L−1, the as-synthesized catalysts showed much greater reaction rate and degradation efficiency of MB than Fe2O3/ATP catalyst. In addition, the reusability of the as-prepared composites was evaluated. The intermediate products of MB degradation were identified by LC-MS and the possible degradation process of MB was put forward. A novel heterogeneous catalyst CuO–CeO2–Fe2O3/ATP was synthesized for MB degradation and the catalytic mechanism was put forward.![]()

Abstract
Iron oxide/carbon nanocatalysts were successfully synthesized by the calcination of ferrocenium at high temperatures ranging from 500 to 900 °C. Then the synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy), VSM (Vibrating-Sample Magnetometry), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements), TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis), XPS (X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance), and CHN elemental analysis. The prepared nanocatalysts were applied for the decomposition of methylene blue as a model in wastewater treatment. It was unexpected to discover that the prepared nanocatalysts were highly active for the reaction with methylene blue in the dark even though no excess of hydrogen peroxide was added. The nanocatalyst calcined at 800 °C exhibited the rod shape with the best catalytic activity. The nanocatalysts could be reused for 12 times without the significant loss of the catalytic activity.

Abstract
To enhance the catalytic and separation properties of akaganéite nanoparticles, rice spike-like akaganéite impregnated graphene oxide (β-FeOOH@GO) nanocomposite was fabricated through facile hydrolysis. The apparent first-order decolorization rate of methylene blue (MB) in β-FeOOH@GO catalyzed photo Fenton-like system was 0.6322 min-1 about 3 folds that of prinstine β-FeOOH nanoparticles. The degradation intermediates of MB adsorbed on the solid surface of β-FeOOH@GO were comprehensively identified with time of flight-secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) for the first time. Newly identified sulfoxide intermediates, sulphone intermediates and desulfurization intermediates and N-demethylaton or dedimethamine intermediates were reported for the first time. The proposed degradation pathway of MB predominantly proceeded with the rupture of phenothiazine rings oxided with OH, and singlet oxygen (1O2) radicals, which fully extending the reaction pathways proposed in previous work in literature. The enhanced catalytic activity of β-FeOOH@GO was ascribed to the formation of heterojunctions confirmed by the presence of FeOC chemical bonds through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The complete elimination of MB and its acute toxicity to Luminous bacteria showed that β-FeOOH@GO would be served as a highly efficient Fenton-like catalyst for treatment of high concentration refractory organic contaminant.

Abstract
Prepared material-supported Fe/Ni particles (PM-Fe/Ni) were produced and applied as an adsorbent, reductant and Fenton-like catalyst for removing methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) from aqueous solutions. Fe/Ni particles were prepared by reducing ferric chloride with sodium borohydride and supported on the produced porous material. Various techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM) were employed to characterize the crystal phase, surface area, surface morphology and functional groups. Removal experiments were conducted to study the effects of different factors such as PM-Fe/Ni dosage, initial pH, H2O2 concentration, initial concentrations and temperature on MB and CV removal. The removal efficiency of CV and MB by PM-Fe/Ni/H2O2 were 91.86% and 61.41% under the conditions of dye concentration of 1000 mg L−1, H2O2 concentration of 50 mM, PM-Fe/Ni dosage of 0.20 g and temperature of 293 K. The analysis of the degradation kinetics showed that the degradation of MB and CV followed well pseudo-first-order kinetics. A possible mechanism of removal of MB and CV was proposed, including the adsorption, reduction and dominating Fenton oxidation. The regeneration experiments of PM-Fe/Ni demonstrated that PM-Fe/Ni with H2O2 still showed a high removal efficiency after six reaction cycles. Possible reaction mechanism for CV and MB removal by the PM-Fe/Ni with H2O2 system.![]()

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 634:760-768.

Abstract
In order to seek a possible path for utilization bottom ash, the solid waste from biomass incineration for power generation, its basic characteristics were investigated, and removing methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was attempted as well. Results indicated bottom ash dominantly contained Si and Ca-related minerals with >35 mineral elements, meanwhile, it was typically characterized by alkalinity (pH of 9.5) and low specific surface area (14.5m2/g). As the only bottom ash was employed for removing MB, removal efficiency was lower than 44%, however, it was greatly improved to 100% as hydrogen peroxide was supplemented (final concentration of 4.0%). Based on the elucidated mechanisms, Fenton-like reaction was triggered by bottom ash, which was dominantly responsible for removing MB, rather than the adsorption by bottom ash. Besides, increasing reaction temperature and duration dramatically promoted MB removal by bottom ash with the aid of hydrogen peroxide (HBA). A great promotion on MB removal from 92.3mg/g to 143.9mg/g was achieved as pH was adjusted from 2.0 to 5.0, indicating MB removal was pH-dependent. The maximum removal of 260.9mg/g was achieved by HBA at a relatively high initial MB concentration of 2000.0mg/L, suggesting a great potential in treating dye wastewater by functionalizing bottom ash with the aid of hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the released heavy metals and derived by-products from MB removal were acceptable in consideration of their potential environmental risks. Thus, the current work offers a new path to valorize the solid waste in biomass electricity generation plant.

Abstract
The heterogeneous Fenton system has become the hotspot in the decontamination field due to its effective degradation performance with a wide pH range. Based on the unstable chemical properties of pyrite, in this article, Fe2GeS4 nanoparticles with better thermodynamic stability were prepared by vacuum sintering and high energy ball milling and its potential as Fenton reagent was investigated for the first time. Three determinants of the heterogeneous Fenton system including the iron source, hydrogen peroxide, pH and the degradation mechanism were investigated. The catalyst dosage of 0.3 g/L, initial H2O2 concentration in the Fenton system of 50 m mol/L and pH of 7 were chosen as the best operational conditions. An almost complete degradation was achieved within 5 min for methylene blue and rhodamine b while 10 min for methyl orange. The total organic carbon removal efficiencies of Fe2GeS4 heterogeneous Fenton system for methylene blue, methyl orange and rhodamine b in 10 min were 56.3%, 66.2% and 74.2%, respectively. It's found that the degradation ability could be attributed to a heterogeneous catalysis occurring at the Fe2GeS4 surface together with a homogeneous catalysis in the aqueous phase by the dissolved iron ions.

Abstract
The development of a heterogeneous catalyst with high catalytic activity and durability for H2O2-mediated oxidation is one of the most important industrial and environmental issues. In this study, a Mn(II)-doped TiO2 heterogeneous catalyst was developed for H2O2-mediated oxidation. The TiO2 substrate-dependent partial-redox behavior of Mn was identified on the basis of our density functional theory simulations. This unique redox cycle was induced by a moderate electron transfer from Ti to Mn, which compensated for the electron loss of Mn and finally resulted in a high-efficiency cycling of Mn between its oxidized and reduced forms. In light of the theoretical results, a Mn(II)-doped TiO2 composite with well-defined morphology and large surface area (153.3 m2 g-1) was elaborately fabricated through incorporating Mn(II) ions into a TiO2 nanoflower, and further tested as the catalyst for oxidative degradation of organic pollutants in the presence of H2O2. Benefiting from the remarkable textural features and excellent Mn cycling property, this composite exhibited superior catalytic performance for organic pollutant degradation. Moreover, it could retain 98.40% of its initial activity even in the fifth cycle. Our study provides an effective strategy for designing heterogeneous catalytic systems for H2O2-mediated oxidations.

Abstract
The Fenton process coupled to photosonolysis (UV light and Us), using Fe2O3catalyst supported on Al2O3, was used to oxidize a model pollutant like acid green 50 textile dye (AG50). Dye degradation was followed by AG50 concentration decay analyses. It was observed that parameters like iron content on a fixed amount of catalyst supporting material, catalyst annealing temperature, initial dye concentration, and the solution pH influence the overall treatment efficiency. High removal efficiencies of the model pollutant are achieved. The stability and reusability tests of the Fe2O3catalyst show that the catalyst can be used up to three cycles achieving high discoloration. Thus, this catalyst is highly efficient for the degradation of AG50 in the Fenton process.

Abstract
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) incorporated with nanomagnetic diatomite (DE) composite material was prepared for catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in heterogeneous Fenton system. The material was constructed by two facile steps: Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were supported on DE by chemical co-precipitation method, after which nZVI was incorporated into magnetic DE by liquid-phase chemical reduction strategy. The as-prepared catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetic properties measurement and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm measurement. The novel nZVI@Fe3O4-diatomite nanocomposites showed a distinct catalytic activity and a desirable effect for degradation of MB. MB could be completely decolorized within 8 min and the removal efficiency of total organic carbon could reach to 90% after reaction for 1 h.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2015; 149:166-172.

Abstract
The intercalation of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), into hydrocalumite (CaAl-LDH-Cl) was investigated in this study. To understand the intercalation behavior, X-ray diffraction (XRD), mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were undertaken. The near-infrared spectra indicated a special spectral range from 6000 to 5600 cm(-1)and prominent bands of CaAl-LDH-Cl intercalated with SDS around 8388 cm(-1). This band was assigned to the second overtone of the first fundamental of CH stretching vibrations of SDS, and it could be used to determinate the result of CaAl-LDH-Cl modified by SDS. Moreover, the results revealed that different adsorption behaviors were observed at different (high and low) concentrations of SDS. When the SDS concentration was around 0.2 mol L(-1), anion exchange intercalation occurred and the interlayer distance expanded to about 3.25 nm. When SDS concentration was 0.005 mol L(-1), the surface adsorption of DS(-) was the major anion exchange event.

Advanced Treatment of Pesticide-Containing Wastewater Using Fenton Reagent Enhanced by Microwave Electrodeless Ultraviolet. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:205903.

Abstract
The photo-Fenton reaction is a promising method to treat organic contaminants in water. In this paper, a Fenton reagent enhanced by microwave electrodeless ultraviolet (MWEUV/Fenton) method was proposed for advanced treatment of nonbiodegradable organic substance in pesticide-containing biotreated wastewater. MWEUV lamp was found to be more effective for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal than commercial mercury lamps in the Fenton process. The pseudo-first order kinetic model can well describe COD removal from pesticide-containing wastewater by MWEUV/Fenton, and the apparent rate constant (k) was 0.0125 min(-1). The optimal conditions for MWEUV/Fenton process were determined as initial pH of 5, Fe(2+) dosage of 0.8 mmol/L, and H2O2 dosage of 100 mmol/L. Under the optimal conditions, the reaction exhibited high mineralization degrees of organics, where COD and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration decreased from 183.2 mg/L to 36.9 mg/L and 43.5 mg/L to 27.8 mg/L, respectively. Three main pesticides in the wastewater, as Dimethoate, Triazophos, and Malathion, were completely removed by the MWEUV/Fenton process within 120 min. The high degree of pesticides decomposition and mineralization was proved by the detected inorganic anions.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH. PART A, TOXIC/HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING 2015; 50:1057-71.

Abstract
Effects of pH and dissolved oxygen on mechanisms for decolorization and total organic carbon (TOC) removal of cationic dye methylene blue (MB) by zero-valent iron (ZVI) were systematically examined. Decolorization and TOC removal of MB by ZVI are attributed to the four potential mechanisms, i.e. reduction, degradation, precipitation and adsorption. The contributions of four mechanisms were quantified at pH 3.0, 6.0 and 10.0 in the oxic and anoxic systems. The maximum efficiencies of decolorization and TOC removal of MB were found at pH 6.0. The TOC removal efficiencies at pH 3.0 and 10.0 were 11.0 and 17.0%, respectively which were considerably lower as compared with 68.1% at pH 6.0. The adsorption, which was favorable at higher pH but was depressed by the passive layer formed on the ZVI surface at alkaline conditions, characterized the effects of pH on decolorization and TOC removal of MB. The efficiencies of decolorization and TOC removal at pH 6.0 under the anoxic condition were 73.0 and 59.0%, respectively, which were comparable to 79.9 and 55.5% obtained under the oxic condition. In the oxic and anoxic conditions, however, the contributions of removal mechanisms were quite different. Although the adsorption dominated the decolorization and TOC removal under the oxic condition, the contribution of precipitation was largely superior to that of adsorption under the anoxic condition.

Abstract
A series of nanocomposites consisting of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (ZVI NPs) encapsulated in SiO2 microspheres were successfully synthesized through a successive two-step method, i.e., the wet chemical reduction by borohydride followed by a modified Stöber method. The as-synthesized nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer. The catalytic performance of SiO2-encapsulated ZVI nanocomposites for the degradation of organic dyes was investigated using methylene blue (MB) as the model dye in the presence of H2O2. The results showed that the degradation efficiency and apparent rate constant of the degradation reaction were significantly enhanced with increased ZVI NPs encapsulated in SiO2 microspheres, whereas the dosage of H2O2 remarkably promoted degradation rate without affecting degradation efficiency. The content-dependent magnetic property ensured the excellent magnetic separation of degradation products under an external magnet. This strategy for the synthesis of SiO2-encapsulated ZVI NPs nanocomposites was low cost and easy to scale-up for industrial production, thereby enabling promising applications in environmental remediation.
