Abstract:

Azo dyes are the main pollutants in textile printing and dyeing industrial wastewater, and their large discharge will seriously endanger the health of organisms. To develop effective catalysts for the decolorization of azo dyes in wastewater, Fe, Co dual-doped Ni ternary metal nanocrystalline is synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method with a three-dimensional network porous structure, named as Fe-Co-Ni NPs. The results show that the prepared ternary alloy nanomaterials have a three-dimensional network structure, and a small amount of Fe and Co doping could obtain higher saturation magnetic susceptibility without changing the polycrystalline structure of nickel. In the presence of sodium borohydride, Fe-Co-Ni NPs have prominent catalytic activity for Congo red reduction due to the synergistic effect of various metal elements. Congo red can be completely decolorized by Fe-Co-Ni NPs in 2 min with an apparent rate constant of 1.24 min-1, significantly better than binary Fe-Ni (1.00 min-1), Co-Ni (0.96 min-1) and single metal Ni (0.83 min-1) nanocrystals. Fe-Co-Ni NPs also show good catalytic performances for the reductive degradation of other azo dyes (such as methyl orange and direct red 80) and nitrophenols. This ternary metal catalyst is very suitable for early decolorization treatment of industrial azo wastewater due to ease of synthesis, low cost, good decolorization effect on azo dyes, high stability and reusability.
