Due to its low interfacial electron migration ability and highly hydrophilic, Fe-MCM-41 (FeM) had poor activity and stability during catalytic ozonation. To this end, the secondary metal Zn and Si-F group were introduced into the framework of FeM to create surface potential difference and hydrophobic sites. Comparative characterizations showed that there existed rich acid sites with great potential difference on F-Fe-Zn-MCM-41 (FFeZnM). Additionally, because of the existence of hydrophobic and electron-withdrawing Si-F unit, the electron migration ability, hydrophobicity and acidity of FFeZnM were enhanced. The greater O mass transfer was induced by Si-F group and O was directly activated at Fe and Zn Lewis acid sites into •OH, •O and O. With •OH acting as main species, FFeZnM/O achieved the superior IBP removal (93.4%, 30 min) and TOC removal (46.6%, 120 min) over those of sole O and F-FeM/O processes, respectively. HCO, Cl, NO and SO hindered IBP degradation by FFeZnM/O, but high concentration humic acid (HA) exhibited promotion by forming HA-IBP complex. IBP degradation by FFeZnM/O was enhanced with tap water, river water, and effluent from the secondary sedimentation tank of the sewage plant acting as medium. This study proposed an innovative approach to catalyst design for catalytic ozonation.

MnOx-based materials have attracted significant attention for ozone decomposition due to their excellent catalytic activity. However, improving their stability and water resistance under humid conditions remains a major challenge. In this work, a K-doped ε-MnO catalyst was synthesized in situ using ozone as an oxidant.

Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation shows promise in destroying organic pollutants in water, yet developing catalysts with both high activity and stability remains challenging. In this study, we propose a catalyst design strategy involving the anchoring of electron-sharing sites near single-atom sites to construct bidirectional electron transfer interaction tunnels. The developed catalyst (MnN-Fe@FeN) features Fe@FeN atomic clusters as electron-sharing sites, coordinated Mn single-atom centers through shared nitrogen bridges, successfully establishing a synergistic system.

This study explores the adsorption and catalytic degradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) from aqueous solutions, using montmorillonite-based catalysts. Commercially, montmorillonite K10 was modified through aluminum pillaring (K10-Al-PILC), followed by vanadium intercalation (K10-Al-PILC-V) and ozone activation. A novel aspect of this work is the use of naturally contaminated water as the TNT source.

Typically, photocatalytic HO synthesis faces efficiency limitations due to sacrificial agent dependence and sluggish oxygen activation. Herein, we present, for the first time, an ozone-coupled bimetallic MIL-100(MnCe) photocatalytic approach to HO synthesis. This novel strategy yields an impressive 1602 μmol·g·h HO in pure water without sacrificial agents.

Landfill leachate is a major environmental concern because of its high content of persistent organic compounds (POCs), which require advanced treatment techniques. This study introduces a novel hybrid ozonation-TiO-modified fly ash composite (FA@TiO) process enhanced by a peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for POC degradation in landfill leachate. The FA@TiO composite, synthesized the sol-gel method with optimal 20% TiO loading, leverages fly ash's cost-effectiveness and TiO's catalytic prowess.
