摘要

Porous network-like FeOOH/carbonized bacterial cellulose (FeOOH/CBC) nanocomposite was successfully prepared and used as adsorbent of organic dyes. The phases, morphology, structure and adsorptive properties of FeOOH/CBC nanocomposite were characterized by XRD, FI-IR, SEM, TEM, BET and UV-vis. The adsorption equilibrium of as-prepared FeOOH/CBC nanocomposite for methyl orange (MO) was achieved within one hour, with the maximum adsorption capacity for MO reaching 107.68 mg/g at pH 6.0 and 30 degrees C. As-prepared FeOOH/CBC nanocomposite maintains high adsorption activities after four times of adsorption and desorption, accompanying the removal rate for MO is up to 60% in 10 min.
