    Abstract:
    Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is an effective material for Cr(VI) treatment, however excessive agglomeration and surface oxidation limit its application. Herein, straw derived hierarchically porous carbon supported FeNi bimetallic nanoparticles (FeNi@HPC) was prepared for effective removal of Cr(VI) from water. FeNi nanoparticles were successfully loaded onto HPC with good dispersibility, and HPC caused an increase in specific surface area of FeNi nanoparticles. FeNi@HPC exhibited a significantly enhanced removal efficiency for Cr(VI) in comparison to Fe@HPC and FeNi NPs. The Ni doping content was further optimized, and the best Ni content in bimetallic NPs was estimated as 10 wt%. The conditions optimal for the activity of FeNi@HPC were assessed, and the highest removal efficiency equivalent to 30 mg L-1 of Cr(VI) was achieved at pH= 4.0 in 360 min with a dosage of 0.5 g L-1. Higher temperatures favored the removal of Cr(VI) and FeNi@HPC manifested the lowest activation energy as compared to Fe@HPC and FeNi NPs. The action mechanisms of FeNi@HPC presumably involved electron transfer from Fe0, Fe2+and atomic hydrogen. This work not only provide a cost-effective and available HPC material to stabilize nZVI but also revealed that using FeNi@HPC is a promising approach for the remediation of water pollution.
