Abstract:

Three carboxylic fibers including alginate fiber, polyacrylic acid grafted polypropylene and polyte-trafluoroethylene fibers(PAA-g-PP and PAA-g-PTFE) with similar carboxyl contents were coordinated with Fe3+, respectively to prepare the different Fe(Ⅲ)-carboxylic fiber complexes. The coordinating kinetics of three carboxylic fibers with Fe3+ was compared, and the effecting factors were also examined. And the catalytic performance of three Fe(Ⅲ)-carboxylic fiber complexes was then evaluated as the heterogeneous Fenton catalysts in the dye degradation in water. The results indicated that within the observed temperature and concentration range, the coordination of carboxylic fiber with Fe3+showed better agreement with Langmuir isotherm equation and Lagergren second order equation. Increasing Fe3+initial concentration led to a low coordination rate constant. Higher temperature increased the Fe content of the resulting complexes. Alginate fiber reacted more easily with than PAA-g-PP and PAA-g-PTFE at the same conditions. Moreover, their coordination rate constants and Fe contents were ranked as follow: alginate fiber >PAA-g-PP >PAA-g-PTFE. Three Fe(Ⅲ)-carboxylic fiber complexes acted as the heterogeneous Fenton catalysts for dye degradation. UV irradiation could more significantly enhance the catalytic capacity of the complexes than visible irradiation. Fe(Ⅲ)-alginate fiber complex has a higher catalytic performance than the other Fe(Ⅲ)-carboxylic fiber complexes with similar Fe content, which is in relation to the big difference in coordinating structure and surface property between them.
