摘要
Aqueous hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is easy to enter the biological system, causing serious threat to human and aquatic environment health. In this paper, a myrica rubra-like MnFe2O4 catalyst with average diameter of 200-300 nm were prepared by a simple solvothermal method. Benefiting from the knobby surface and the considerable microwave absorption ability, the as-prepared MnFe2O4 microsphere exhibited excellent microwave catalytic reduction ability for Cr(VI) in water, and the catalysts dosage, initial Cr(VI) concentration, solution pH value and temperature showed crucial effect on the catalytic reduction process. When the pH value of the solution was 2, the amount of catalysts was 2 g/L, and the temperature was 100 celcius, the myrica rubra-like MnFe2O4 catalysts could remove as high as 96% of Cr(VI) from a 50 mg/L aqueous solution only after 10 min microwave irradiation, which is much higher than the commercial one. The enhanced catalysis performance could be ascribed to the surface "knob " with a size of 17 nm, which accelerated the generation of e- under microwave irradiation, finally promoted the catalytic reduction performance. The microwave catalytic reduction strategy is a hopeful alternative for ultrafast reduction of Cr(VI) in sewage with high efficiency.
