Abstract

► We found the Fe-based metallic glasses have potential application in wastewater treatment. ► The corrosion on the surface of Fe-based metallic glasses is related to the application. ► We set a new theory to explain the process of degredation organic metters with Fe-based metallic glasses. This work pioneered the use of the Fe 78 Si 9 B 13 metallic glass ribbons in wastewater treatment. Fe 78 Si 9 B 13 metallic glass was employed to remediate wastewater contaminated with a mixture of organic dyes. The removal rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD) with Fe 78 Si 9 B 13 metallic glass and metallic Fe 0 was up to 23 ± 0.93% in 30 min and 21 ± 0.67% with in 45 min, respectively. The dosage of Fe-based metallic glass was only 1/25 of that of metallic Fe 0 to obtain equivalent effects. The mechanism of wastewater treatment through Fe-based metallic glasses is discussed.
