Article Abstract

As environmental problems become more and more severe, sulfate radical (SO) based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are widely recognized for their high removal efficiency of recalcitrant organic pollutants in water. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted wide attention in SR-AOPs due to their outstanding properties (e.g. large surface area, ultra-high porosity, and diversity of material design, etc). Herein, we present an overview of the development and challenges in the synthesis of different types of MOFs, combination of MOFs with other materials (metal centers, conductors, cellulose, etc.) and the construction of catalysts with special structures (core-shell structures and hollow structures) as well as their applications in SR-AOPs for the degradation of organic pollutants. Several review papers have already mentioned the application of a branch of MOFs or simple composites of MOFs in SR-AOP, whereas the latest progresses on the application of MOFs-based materials to SR-AOPs was described rarely. Besides, the degradation mechanism of MOFs as catalysts has not been systematically discussed. To this end, the mechanisms of MOFs and MOF-based materials as catalysts to activate PMS/PS in different systems are analyzed, including radicals and non-radicals pathways. Meanwhile, considering that the research in this field is still in its infancy, a lot of improvements are still needed to effectively promote and implement this technology.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) contamination can be effectively remediated using sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs). In this work, a novel composite catalyst (EMR-BC) was successfully prepared using Camellia oleifera shell (COS) biochar (BC) coupled with electrolytic manganese residue (EMR), and the as-obtained catalyst was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of ethylparaben (EtP). EMR-BC showed superior catalytic performance comparing to EMR and BC, with an EtP remove rate of 97.

As the most promising techniques for refractory antibiotic degradation in wastewater management, sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have attracted considerable attention. However, systematic studies on potassium peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by MOF-derived metal oxides coated with LDH materials are still lacking. In this work, a series of catalysts consisting of CoCu-MOFs coated with CuAl/LDH were synthesized for PMS activation in the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX).

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has emerged as a global environmental concern due to its detrimental impacts on ecosystems. Conventional wastewater/water treatment methods are inadequate for MPs removal due to their diminutive size ranging from micrometers to nanometers. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have gained attention as a promising green strategy for the efficient and safe elimination of MPs from aqueous systems.

Heterogeneous catalyst-mediated sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) showed excellent performance during antibiotics degradation. Spinel was a promising catalyst for SR-AOPs, but the secondary contamination due to metal ions leaching needed to be addressed. And the destruction of catalyst structure could lead to the reduction of catalytic activity and the difficulty of recovery.

In recent years, studies on the degradation of emerging organic contaminants by sulfate radical (SO·) based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have triggered increasing attention. Metal-loaded biochar (Me-BC) can effectively prevent the agglomeration and leaching of transition metals, and its good physicochemical properties and abundant active sites induce outstanding in activating persulfate (PS) for pollutant degradation, which is of great significance in the field of advanced oxidation. In this paper, we reviewed the preparation method and stability of Me-BC, the effect of metal loading on the physicochemical properties of biochar, the pathways of pollutant degradation by Me-BC-activated PS (including free radical pathways: SO·, hydroxyl radical (·OH), superoxide radicals (O-·); non-free radical pathways: singlet oxygen (O), direct electron transfer), and discussed the activation of different active sites (including metal ions, persistent free radicals, oxygen-containing functional groups, defective structures, etc.
