Abstract

Abstract Self-assembled gel of Fe-chitosan/montmorillonite nanosheets (Fe-CS/MMTNS) was prepared for elimination of methylene blue (MB) under visible light in the presence of H2O2. The Fe-CS/MMTNS gel was characterized by FTIR, SEM-EDS, XPS and TG. The Fe-CS/MMTNS gel performed well in the removal of MB through the synergistic effect of adsorption and photo-Fenton reaction. Moreover, this gel worked efficiently under a wide range of pH conditions. This composite gel also showed effective reusability because the adsorption sites of the Fe-CS/MMTNS are continually reactivated through photo-Fenton degradation. Additionally, the Fe-CS/MMTNS gel was found to be stable and the iron ions were hardly leached out because of the complexation between iron and chitosan (CS). The MB degradation occurred by two pathways: a part of MB was directly attacked by reactive radicals and gradually converted into inorganic substances while another part of MB was firstly adsorbed by Fe-CS/MMTNS gel and then degraded by reactive radicals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
