Abstract Electrospun alumina (Al2O3) nanofibrous mats were fabricated by combing sol-gel, electrospinning and high temperature calcination techniques, based upon aluminum isopropoxide (AIP) as precursor and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as polymer template. The effects of calcination temperature on structural morphology, porous structure and decolorization property of Al2O3 mats were investigated. The decolorization mechanism and recycling/regeneration property of Al2O3 mats were also discussed. The results showed that the fabricated Al2O3 mats possessed good structure and morphologies with homogeneous fiber diameters. The Al2O3 mats calcined at 800 ℃ had the BET specific surface area of 82.7 m2/g, and demonstrated excellent adsorption rate on Reactive Red X-3B and Acid ANOSET© Yellow TB and reached about 72% and 93%, respectively. This might be due to electrostatic interactions between Al2O3 mats and dyes. The Al2O3 mats also exhibited good cycle stability and re-liability. This study suggests that the fabricated Al2O3 mats have potential applications for adsorption and decoloration on dye wastewater field.
