Abstract
To remove the metronidazole, the iron oxides loaded on granular activated carbon (FeOx-GAC) were prepared by the impregnation–calcination approach. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that FeOx-GAC has a porous structure, in which the iron oxides with a variety of valence states are smoothly attached on the activated carbon. The catalytic activity of FeOx-GAC was evaluated for metronidazole removal, exhibiting great catalytic efficiency of the catalyst. Besides, the catalytic ozonation of metronidazole was optimized by varying the dose of ozone and catalyst, as well as the pH of the solution.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
