摘要
Cerium oxide(CeO2) coated on copper modified attapulgite clay nanocomoposite(CeO2/Cu2+-ATP) was prepared by homogeneous deposition method.The microstructures of the as-prepared CeO2/Cu2+-ATP nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),energy-dispersive spectrometer(EDS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results indicated that CeO2 particles with average size of about 5 nm were loaded onto the Cu2+-ATP and were widely dispersed.Comparing the catalytic activity of ATP/CeO2 and CeO2/Cu2+-ATP,the catalytic activity was improved when a small quantity of Cu2+ was introduced.The loading amount of CeO2 and reaction temperature had important effects on decolorization ratio of methyl orange(MO).When the loading amount and reaction temperature were 70% and 338 K,respectively,the decolorization ratio of MO reached over 99%,which showed excellent catalytic activity.
