摘要： In this work, activated carbon (AC), vanadium oxide (V2O5), and V2O5/AC photocatalyst were prepared by in situ utilization of stone coal ore for the first time. The synthesis conditions for activated carbon (AC) and V2O5/AC were thoroughly investigated via orthogonal experiments and single factor experiments, respectively. The obtained optimal parameters could be directly adopted in practical application about utilization of stone coal ore. The optimal deashing experimental parameters for stone coal ore were: HF concentration of 15%, H2SO4 concentration of 15%, acid leaching temperature of 85 °C, and acid leaching time of 2 h. The as-prepared activated carbon from stone coal ore could be applied to the removal of methylene blue. The as-prepared V2O5/AC photocatalyst possessed a highly visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity for the removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye. The RhB degradation ratio could reach to 90.0% after only 3 h photocatalytic reaction. This photocatalyst would be possibly applied to treatment other organic dye wastewater. Actually, this work would extend the application field of stone coal ore. Most importantly, we hope the proposed new concept that in situ utilization of ore can be widely spread and applied.
