Modification of a catalyst with polyethylene glycol (PEG) created a dramatic increase in the catalytic activity for the degradation of phenol wastewater. The Fe/PEG-modified γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst was prepared by an impregnation method. The as-prepared catalyst was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, wide- and small-angle X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and N₂ adsorption-desorption experiments, and the results showed that the Fe species were highly dispersed on the surface of the PEG-modified support. At the same time, the PEG modification resulted in an increase in the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and pore volume. The catalytic activity test showed that the Fe/PEG-modified γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst exhibited a superior performance for the degradation of phenol wastewater in this study, and the phenol and COD removal values reached 94.1 and 88.9%, respectively, within 60 min. The results clearly show that PEG modification is a promising methodology for the preparation of a catalyst with good dispersal of the active component on the support.
