Abstract
A catalyst, NiCo2O4/MnOOH/GO, was successfully synthesized by immobilizing NiCo2O4 and graphene oxide (GO) on MnOOH for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with enhanced catalytic activity in ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. Results demonstrated 99% removal of CIP (0.02 mM) in the NiCo/Mn/GO system after 30 min at 0.2 mM of PMS and 0.15 g/L of NiCo/Mn/GO. The effects of solution pH, catalyst dose, PMS concentration, major inorganic ions, and natural organic matter (NOM) on CIP degradation were studied. The NiCo/Mn/GO exhibited good sustainability in catalytic removal efficiency for multiple uses. Furthermore, scavenger tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) results showed that singlet oxygen (1O2), superoxide radicals (O2•-), sulfate radicals (SO4•−), and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) were generated in the NiCo/Mn/GO + PMS system and participated in CIP degradation. The NiCo/Mn/GO is a promising catalyst for PMS activation in the degradation of CIP and other emerging contaminants.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
