ABSTRACT
Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) show a bright prospect in sewage purification. The development of efficient catalysts with simple preparation process and eco-friendliness is the key for their applying in practical water treatment. Herein, a bimetallic Cu-Fe metal organic framework (MOF) was simply synthesized by using one-pot solvothermal methods and employed for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade organic pollutants in water. The Cu-Fe-MOF/PMS exhibited excellent degradation efficiencies (over 95% in 30 min) for a variety of pollutants, including phenol, bisphenol A, 2,4-dichlorophenol, methyl blue, rhodamine B, tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole. The degradation efficiency was impacted by dosages of Cu-Fe-MOF, PMS concentrations, reaction temperature, solution pH and anionic species. Phenol could be efficiently decomposed in a wide pH range of 5-9, with the highest degradation and mineralization efficiency of nearly 100% and 70%, respectively. Free radicals and non-free radicals participated in degrading of phenol at the same time, with dominantly free radical process, because sulfate radicals (SO4·-) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were the primary active substances by contribution calculation. Cu-Fe-MOF was acted as electron shuttle between molecules of phenol and PMS, and the cooperation effect of Fe and Cu on the Cu-Fe-MOF promoted the electron transfer, achieving the high degradation efficiency of phenol. Thus, Cu-Fe-MOF is an ideal catalyst for activating PMS, which is conducive to promote the applying of catalyst-activated PMS processes for practical wastewater treatments.
