Abstract
An outward coating method has been successfully employed to prepare CuO/MnO2 nanorod array films based on the impregnation of Cu(OH)2 nanorod array films with manganese nitrate aqueous solution and heat post-treatment. The as-prepared CuO/MnO2 nanorod array films as heterogeneous catalysts successfully address such issues as easy agglomeration, difficult separation, and possible secondary pollution related to powder catalysts. Furthermore, they exhibit catalytic oxidation activity for the degradation of acid fuchsin (AF) dye in aqueous solution superior to that of bare CuO nanorod array films in the presence of H2O2, because of the synergistic effects of both CuO and MnO2. The effects of the initial concentration of aqueous AF solution and H2O2 dosage on the catalytic oxidation performance were evaluated, indicating that the degradation ratio of AF can reach up to 94.05%. Life-cycle performance and scaleup of the catalytic oxidative degradation process demonstrate the durability and potential engineering application of CuO/MnO2 nanorod array films in dye wastewater treatment.
