Abstract
In this study, a hydroxylamine (HA)-enhanced magnetic spinel catalyst CuFe2O4-activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system (CuFe2O4/PMS/HA) was constructed to degrade Sulfamethoxazole (SMX). Results from experiments and theoretical calculations indicated that active species generation mechanism involved the direct activation of PMS by HA, the redox cycles acceleration on the surface of CuFe2O4 by HA, and the synergistic action of the low valence Fe and Cu species in CuFe2O4 for PMS activation. The efficacy of other organic pollutants removal was further validated in bio-treated landfill leachate through removal performance and toxicity assessment. This study provided an understanding of the role of HA and its interactions with Cu-Fe bimetals to activate PMS, advancing our understanding and inspiring the application of similar spinel/reductants/PMS systems.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
