The combined pollution of organics and heavy metals represents a significant environ-mental problem that has attracted widespread attention. This explores the treatment of methylene blue (MB) and Cu(II), which are common pollutants in dye wastewater, and the recycling of Cu. A magnetized vaterite (V-M) was synthesized using Bacillus velezensis, and its structure and magnetic performance were investigated. The effects and mechanisms of removing MB-Cu(II) composite pollution using V-M and H2O2 in combination were estimated. The results indicated that V-M is a combination of organic and inorganic substances, with 21.5 wt% organic matter and multiple organic functional groups, including O-H, -SH, and others. The combination of V-M and H2O2 can achieve a maximum removal percentage of 90% for MB-Cu(II) pollution. The analysis showed that MB was oxidized by the ·:OH generated from the H2O2-based Fenton-like reaction, and was catalyzed by the Fe3O4 in V-M. The immobilization of Cu(II) by V-M was mostly realized through the binding of the organic substances on the surface of the V-M, multilayer adsorption, and a replacement reaction with Ca(II). Magnetic separation and the addition of diluted HCl were used for the recycling of the Cu(II) enriched by V-M, with a recycling percentage reaching 85%. This study introduced a novel approach to the remediation of MB-Cu(II) composite pollution, and the recycling of Cu(II).
