摘要
Hierarchically porous CaFe204/carbon fiber hybrids with enhanced microwave induced cat- alytic activity for the degradation of methyl violet （MV） from water were synthesized from kapok by a novel two-step process coupling pore-fabricating and nanoparticles assembling. The as-prepared samples exhibited characteristic hollow fiber morphology, CaFe204 nanopar- ticles dispersed uniformly on the surface of hollow carbon fibers （HCF）. The effects of various factors such as CaFe204 loading, microwave power, catalyst doses, initial concen- tration of MV solution and pH value on the microwave induced degradation of MV over CaFe204/HCF were evaluated. It was found that the microwave induced degradation of MV over CaFe204/HCF had high reaction rate and short process time. The kinetic study indicated that the degradation of MV over CaFe204/HCF followed pseudo-first-order kinet- ics model. The high catalytic activity of CaFe204/HCF was facilitated by the synergistic relationship between microwave induced catalytic reaction and adsorption characteristics.
