摘要：We deposited Fe and Cu over zeolite NaX (Fe/NaX and Cu/NaX) by adsorption from effluent industrial wastewater. We synthesized the zeolite NaX by the hydrothermal method. 5 g of NaX completely adsorbed 350 and 380 mg of Fe and Cu from the industrial wastewater, respectively, in 6 h. The distribution of Fe and Cu over the NaX was uniform and amounted at 14 and 18 mass%, respectively. Fe and Cu modify the morphology of the NaX zeolite: the particle size increased from 9 μm to 10 μm for the former and decreased to 3 μm for the latter. Fe/NaX and Cu/NaX are less crystalline than NaX. BET analysis showed that the specific surface area decreased by 30 % and 50 % compared to NaX for Fe/NaX and Cu/NaX, but the ratio between meso‐ and micropores increased by 7 and 13 times, respectively. Fe/NaX and Cu/NaX synthesized by adsorption from industrial wastewater reduced +99 % of 4‐p‐nitrophenol to 4‐aminophenol in less than 100 s, which is comparable to noble metal.We deposited Fe and Cu over zeolite NaX from effluent industrial wastewater. Fe and Cu were 14 and 18 % by mass, respectively. They degraded 99 % of 4‐p‐nitrophenol to 4‐aminophenol in less than 100 s.
