Abstract

Benefited from developed pore structure and synergistic effect with MOFs, the porous carbon not only provides a stable carrier for MOFs but also serves as a buffer for organic pollutants to promote removal of malachite green (MG). Herein, a bimetallic CoFe-MOF was anchored successfully on bamboo pulp black liquor (BPBL)-derived porous carbon (PC) by hydrothermal method, and then PC loaded with elemental and oxide of cobalt and iron was acquired through high-temperature pyrolysis. Adsorption capacity of the prepared CoFe/PC on MG can reach 1894 mg/g; additionally, catalytic degradation efficiency of MG reached 98.9% within 28 min. The loading of Co and Fe oxides enhances adsorption properties of PC for MG, and synergistic effect of Co and Fe elements and the synergistic effect of MOFs and PC also improves degradation efficiency of CoFe/PC for MG. Additionally, loading of Co and Fe provides magnetic properties for PC, which is convenient for recovery. These results indicate that the combination of bimetallic MOFs and porous carbon supplies an alternative for MG removal.
