Abstract
The preparation of catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation usually entails substantial costs and intricate steps. In this study, a novel catalyst (2FA-EMR) was successfully obtained from electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) through reduction modification. 2FA-EMR exhibited a loose and porous surface morphology, removing 95.88 % aniline aerofloat (AAF, 100 mg/L) within 120 min. The reaction rate constant (kobs) of 2FA-EMR reached 17.5 times that of unmodified EMR. Mechanism analysis revealed that oxygen vacancies (OV) and low-velent Fe/Mn in diverse Fe and Mn phases were the key active sites for AAF degradation. The synergistic effect among them enhanced the electron transfer efficiency between 2FA-EMR and PMS, thereby promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). 1O2 was identified as the dominant ROS responsible for AAF degradation in the 2FA-EMR/PMS system, originating from the conversion of Ov and O2•− and preferentially attacking the P-N bond of AAF. Additionally, the mild and continuous reaction process achieved a mineralization degree of over 75 %. The study furnished a meaningful reference for the development of cost-effective and easy-to-prepare catalysts for PMS activation.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
