In order to improve the catalytic ozonation effect of resorcinol, the spinel CuFe2O4 was modified by doped CeO2, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for characterization analysis. The effects of composite catalyst CeO2/CuFe2O4 dosage, ozone dosage, initial pH and reaction temperature on degradation were studied, and the stability of the catalyst was tested. The results showed that the composite effect of CeO2/CuFe 2O 4 prepared by combustion method was good, and the catalyst presented a laminated structure, in which 30wt% CeO2/CuFe2O4 degradation effect was significant. The removal rate of resorcinol using CeO2/CuFe2O4 composite catalyst was higher than that using ozone or CuFe2O4 separately by 41.8% and 11.9%, respectively. In a reaction with resorcinol concentration of 100mg/L, the catalyst dosage of 1.0g/L, the ozone dosage of 2.5mg/(L·min), at pH=9, temperature of 20℃, for reaction time of 40min, the resorcinol removal rate was 88.5%. The catalyst CeO2/CuFe2O4 still showed good degradation effect after repeatedly using for 10 times, and the dissolution rate of metal ions was lower than that of CuFe2O4.
