摘　　要：A highly active ZrO x /ZnO catalyst for microwave-assisted photocatalytic （MW/PC） degradation of endocrine disruptor dimethyl phthalate （DMP） has been prepared via cetyltrimethylammonium assisted hydrothermal method. The ZrO x /ZnO was characterized by XPS, XRD, UV-Vis, BET and SEM techniques. The XPS result showed that Zr oxides with different valences （＋2, ＋3, ＋4） co-existed in ZrO x /ZnO. By using the ZrO x /ZnO （0.1 g）, the TOC removal efficiency of DMP （100 mL of 50 mg/L） was 88% after 30 min reaction, which was about 15% higher than P25 TiO 2 . It was found that the removal process of DMP by MW/PC followed pseudo first-order kinetics in all cases, and ZrO x /ZnO significantly accelerated the degradation of DMP. The degradation half-life time of DMP was shortened 45% compared with P25 TiO 2 . A possible catalytic mechanism was proposed based on microwave response and interfacial charge transfer. ZrO x /ZnO could be reused for six times without obvious decrease in catalytic activity. The study offers new insights into designing highly efficient catalysts for MW/PC process and is applicable for MW/PC environmental remediation.A highly active ZrO x /ZnO catalyst for microwave-assisted photocatalytic （MW/PC） degradation of endocrine disruptor dimethyl phthalate （DMP） has been prepared via cetyltrimethylammonium assisted hydrothermal method.
