ABSTRACT
Advanced oxidation processes play an important role in the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater, in which it is essential to develop an eco-friendly, effective, stable, and inexpensive catalyst. Herein, waste eggshell-supported copper oxide (CuO/eggshell) was synthesized via a facile method and employed as peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator for the elimination of reactive blue 19 (RB19). CuO/eggshell exhibited high degradation efficiency of RB19 (approximately 100%) by activation of PMS under the optimum conditions of 20 mg/L RB19, 0.2 g/L CuO/eggshell, 0.36 mM PMS, and initial pH 7.12 within 20 min. In addition, the effects of catalyst dosage, PMS concentration, initial pH, inorganic ions, and humic acid on RB19 degradation were investigated. Scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance revealed that multiple reactive oxygen species, including sulfate radicals (SO4·-), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), superoxide radicals (O2·-), and singlet oxygen (1O2), contributed to RB19 degradation, and 1O2 played a dominant role. Finally, a possible PMS activation mechanism was proposed. This study suggests that loading catalytically active components onto waste eggshell is eco-friendly and effective for enhancing the degradation of dyes from wastewater.
