higher photocatalytic activity and recyclability. The photodegradation rate of acid scarlet 3R can reach 99.8% and still 85% after three cycles under the conditions of catalyst preparation and reaction in our study. In addition
the catalyst can be separated from liquid rapidly by the external magnetic field and the recycle rate of the catalyst can be up to 83%.
