Abstract: Supported nano Cu/Fe bimetal alloy with a spherical nanocluster structure was synthesized in ethanol-water solution by using KBH4 as the reducing agent and Cu as the complex metal when micro-scale graphite was used as a support material. This supported nano bimetal alloy showed the better reductive dechlorination property for trichloroethylene than the supported nano Fe0 in the solution. TCE of 10 mg/L was completely removed in 5 h when Fe0 dosage was 10 g/L. The cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) was used to modify the surface of the supported nano bimetal alloy. The reduction effect of the material for TCE was enhanced after being modified. During the 36 d of continuous dechlorination, the modified supported nano bimetal alloy shows a highly stable property for TCE removal. The experiment results show that 10.2 mg/L TCE could be completely reduced in 7 h by the supported nano bimetal alloy in the 36th day.
