Water pollution derived from organic pollutants is one of the global environmental problems. The Fenton reaction using Fe 2+ as a homogeneous catalyst has been known as one of clean methods for oxidative degradation of organic pollutants. Here, a layered double hydroxide (Fe 2+ Al 3+ ‐LDH) containing Fe 2+ and Al 3+ in the structure was used to develop a “heterogeneous” Fenton catalyst capable of mineralizing organic pollutants. We found that sulfate ion (SO 4 2− ) immobilized on the Fe 2+ Al 3+ ‐LDH significantly facilitated oxidative degradation (mineralization) of phenol as a model compound of water pollutants to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in a heterogeneous Fenton process. The phenol conversion and mineralization efficiency to CO 2 reached >99% and ca . 50%, respectively, even with a reaction time of only 60 min.
