Abstract As a kind of halogenated aromatic compounds, chlorophenol containing a benzene ring and several chlorine atoms, and are widely used as an chemical material。 Due to its highly toxic and non-biodegradable quality, chlorophenol has caused more and more serious pollution in the environment, and was blacklisted by many countries as the priority control and urgent needed to be controlled toxic pollutants。
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were found to have significant applications in a wide range of electrochemistry and catalyst, and the nitrogen doping and loading of some metal elements may improve its catalytic activity instinctly。 In this study, after nitrogen doping, MWCNTs were loaded with Ru/Fe to form the Ru/Fe/N-MWNCTs catalyst, which was testified by the phenogram of TEM、XRD and XPS。
The prepared Ru/Fe/N-MWNCTs was used as an catalyst to study the treatment of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol(TCP) in water。 Results showed that when the ratio of metal Ru to Fe was up to 3:1, the removal rate TCP reached the highest value。 When the dosage of catalyst was 600mg/L, TCP has a removal rate of 95。65% after 1h reaction 。 The removal rate of TCP decreased with the increasing concentration of solution, and when the pH of solution was more than 7, TCP has the better removal efficiency。 After the reaction time was more than 1h, the catalytic effect of Ru/Fe/N-MWNCTs didn’t rise any more。 At last, the reusability of Ru/Fe/N-MWNCT was tested through the recollection of catalyst and retreatment of TCP。 Results demonstrated that the Ru/Fe/N-MWNCTs catalyst could be used more than once 。
