- (1)
- In situ Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr metallic glass matrix composites with high magnesium content were successfully prepared by melt spinning. SEM, DSC and XRD analyses confirm that the composite is composed of primary α-Mg dendrites, a metallic glass matrix and a few Mg-Zn intermetallic particles.
- (2)
- In-situ Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr MGMCs with different Mg content have similar thermal stability. With the increase in Mg content, the glass transition temperature Tg and the melting point are increased, but the onset crystallization temperature Tx is decreased, resulting in the reduced supercooled liquid region. It indicates that the thermal stability and glass-forming ability of the MG matrix decrease.
- (3)
- The Mg82Zn14Ca3Sr1 MGMC sample with a particle size of up to 500 μm shows a high azo dye degradation rate, indicating that the intrinsic azo dye degradation performance is improved by turning the Mg content. It is sensitive to pH during the treatment of azo dye wastewater, and the acidic environment is conducive to a high degradation rate.
- (4)
- The rapid degradation of azo dyes can be attributed to the sacrificial anode protection induced by a crystalline Mg dendrite, which improves the utilization rate of zero-valent Mg in the MG matrix phase. It is suggested that the azo dye degradation performance of MgZn-based MGMC can be improved by regulating the microstructure of MGMC, which provides a new basis for the design of new dye wastewater treatment materials.
