ABSTRACT
A novel 3D nitrogen-doped porous carbon supported Fe-Cu bimetallic nanoparticles composite (Fe-Cu-N-PC) was prepared via direct pyrolysis by employing black liquor lignin as a main precursor, and it was utilized as a novel catalyst for PMS activation in degrading naphthalene. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the naphthalene degradation rate was up to 93.2% within 60 min in the Fe-Cu-N-PC/PMS system. The porous carbon framework of Fe-Cu-N-PC could facilitate the quick molecule diffusion of reactants towards the inner bimetallic nanoparticles and enriched naphthalene molecules from the solution by a specific adsorption, which increased the odds of contact between naphthalene and reactive oxygen species and improved the reaction efficiency. The quenching reaction proved that the non-free radical pathway dominated by 1O2 was the main way in naphthalene degradation, while the free radical pathway involving SO4·- and ·OH only played a secondary role. Moreover, owing to its high magnetization performance, Fe-Cu-N-PC could be magnetically recovered and maintained excellent naphthalene degradation rate after four degradation cycles. This research will offer a theoretical basis for the construction of facile, efficient, and green technologies to remediate persistent organic pollutants in the environment.
