A Keggin polyoxometalate (POM, i.e., PW12O40(3-)) and its lacunary derivative are immobilized on an anionic exchange resin through electrostatic interaction at pH 4.6 in an aqueous dispersion. The resin-supported POM thus obtained catalyzes the efficient degradation of cationic dye pollutants in the presence of H2O2 under visible-light irradiation. To evaluate the photocatalytic system, degradation of a rhodamine B (RB) dye was investigated in detail using UV-visible spectroscopy, high performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques to identify the intermediates and final products. Fluorescence lifetime measurements revealed the electron transfer from the visible-light-excited RB molecules to the POMs. Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements, investigation of the effects of *OH and *OOH scavengers on the photoreaction kinetics, and IR analysis indicated that de-ethylation of RB was due to *OOH radicals, but the decomposition of the conjugated xanthene structure was caused by the peroxo species formed by interaction of H2O2 with the lacunary POM loaded on the resin. A total organic carbon removal of ca. 22% was achieved, and the recycle experiment suggested excellent stability and reusability of the heterogeneous catalyst. On the basis of the experimental results, a photocatalytic mechanism is discussed.
