amorphous alloy ribbon was prepared by melt-spun method

and its removal efficiency on Cu（Ⅱ）in aqueous solution was investigated.The results show that 98.4% of Cu（Ⅱ）（50 mg/L）can be removed within 60 min by 1 g/L Fe

amorphous alloy ribbon is 341 times larger than those obtained by using 300 mesh iron powders.The experiments under different environmental conditions reveal that the apparent rate constant is proportional to the temperature of the solution and the dosage of the ribbons

and inversely proportional to the initial concentration of Cu（Ⅱ）.Cyclic experiments show that the Fe
