Abstract: A novel catalyst, HMS-FePcS, prepared by modifying HMS molecular sieve with iron sulfophthalocyanine (FePcS) was found to be highly effective for the degradation of nonbiodegradable malachite green upon visible light irradiation in the presence of H2O2. Influencing factors including temperature, light energy, dosages of the catalyst and H2O2, and active centers were investigated. The experimental data of kinetics from optimum conditions indicated that the reaction is zero order in the initial stage and first order in the second stage. A rational explanation was suggested according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.
