Abstract

Iron oxide submicron wires are successfully synthesized via a microwave irradiation method within a short period of 20 s. Upon reduction, this material shows orders of magnitude faster Cr(vi) removal rate than conventional adsorbents. A redox reaction based removal mechanism is revealed instead of adsorption.
