Abstract
Poultry manure is one of the important sources of antibiotic pollution in agricultural soil and groundwater. Recently, the excessive discharge of goat manure has resulted in groundwater environmental challenges and negative impacts. It is of practical significance that such wastes can be converted into functional materials to promote the resource utilization of waste and reduce the risk of antibiotic contamination. In this study, Fe (Ⅱ)-loaded goat manure biochar (Fe-GMC) was prepared by pyrolyzing goat manure and iron salts and used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for tetracycline (TC) degradation in groundwater. The as-prepared Fe-GMC exhibited good catalytic performance for PMS activation due to its porous surface and rich oxygen-containing groups. Under the conditions of catalyst dosage of 0.2 g/L, PMS dosage of 1.0 mM, and pH of 3.0, TC was removed 81.3% within 60 min. In addition, the TC degradation efficiency was inhibited to different extents by inorganic anions (HCO 3 − >Cl − >NO 3 − ) in water. Furthermore, the quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra analysis indicated that the generation of hydroxyl radicals ( • OH) was responsible for TC degradation. Particularly, Fe-GMC produces a strong oxidizing agent. This study provides an efficient and environmentally friendly tetracycline degradation catalyst, which offers a new theoretical basis for water environmental remediation.
期刊介绍:
Our natural world is experiencing a state of rapid change unprecedented in the presence of humans. The changes affect virtually all physical, chemical and biological systems on Earth. The interaction of these systems leads to tipping points, feedbacks and amplification of effects. In virtually all cases, the causes of environmental change can be traced to human activity through either direct interventions as a consequence of pollution, or through global warming from greenhouse case emissions. Well-formulated and internationally-relevant policies to mitigate the change, or adapt to the consequences, that will ensure our ability to thrive in the coming decades are badly needed. Without proper understanding of the processes involved, and deep understanding of the likely impacts of bad decisions or inaction, the security of food, water and energy is a risk. Left unchecked shortages of these basic commodities will lead to migration, global geopolitical tension and conflict. This represents the major challenge of our time. We are the first generation to appreciate the problem and we will be judged in future by our ability to determine and take the action necessary. Appropriate knowledge of the condition of our natural world, appreciation of the changes occurring, and predictions of how the future will develop are requisite to the definition and implementation of solutions.
Frontiers in Environmental Science publishes research at the cutting edge of knowledge of our natural world and its various intersections with society. It bridges between the identification and measurement of change, comprehension of the processes responsible, and the measures needed to reduce their impact. Its aim is to assist the formulation of policies, by offering sound scientific evidence on environmental science, that will lead to a more inhabitable and sustainable world for the generations to come.
