Article Abstract

Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) was used as a support to prepare novel EMR-supported catalysts for the heterogeneous Fenton degradation of acetaminophen. Among the five supported catalysts, Co/EMR showed the highest catalytic activity. Several important factors influencing the decay of acetaminophen, including Co loading content, catalyst dosage, HO concentration and initial solution pH, were investigated. Under optimal experimental conditions, acetaminophen degradation rate and the TOC removal efficiency reached 63.8% and 35.7% within 480 min, respectively. Free radical quenching and EPR analysis showed that the high catalytic degradation rate of acetaminophen could be ascribed to the presence of ˙OH and O˙. Based on the XPS analysis, the superior catalytic performance of Co/EMR was attributed to the Fe, Mn and Co active sites and oxygen vacancies (O) on the surface. Additionally, the potential for degradation of other pollutants and the applicability in real water matrices as well as the reusability of Co/EMR were investigated. This heterogeneous Fenton system could expand possibilities for high-value utilization of the EMR and showed potential for treating PPCPs in wastewater.

Although heterogeneous photo-Fenton reactions on nanoparticulate iron oxides effectively degrade organic pollutants, the underlying surface mechanisms remain debated. Here, we demonstrate how these pathways are modulated by specific hematite crystal facets. To investigate the influence of particle surface structure, methylene blue (MB) adsorption and photodegradation kinetics are examined using facet-engineered hematite nanoparticles with distinct exposed facets.

Heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions have broadened the pH adaptation window of traditional homogeneous Fenton during water purification. However, the sharp decrease in their activity under macro-neutral conditions is still a large challenge. More importantly, although it has been realized that the pH value always changes during the heterogeneous Fenton-like process, there are still a few research focuses on the degradation mechanisms in different pH systems, especially the difference between initial neutral and the buffered neutral system.

Iron-carbon materials have emerged as promising heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of emerging organic contaminants. However, their practical applications are substantially hindered by complex preparation procedures and irreversible deactivation of iron centers. Herein, a novel double-layer core-shell catalyst Fe@FeC@Graphite (Fe-CTS-3000) is one-step synthesized by a high-temperature carbothermal shock (CTS) strategy.

A precise modulation of heterogeneous catalysts in structural and surface properties promises the development of more sustainable advanced oxidation water purification technologies. However, the poor catalyst stability due to covering of surface-active sites by oxidation intermediates remains a key bottleneck to their practical applications. Herein we propose a simple defect-induced in-situ single-atom anchoring strategy to overcome this challenge by creating unique asymmetric active-sites on the catalyst surface.

The increasing discharge of mineral processing wastewater containing recalcitrant benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) poses significant environmental and health risks. This work developed a Pt@HNT/FeO (PHF) bubble-propelled catalyst by encapsulating Pt nanoparticles within halloysite nanotubes (HNT) lumens and anchoring FeO on the exterior surface to degrade BHA. The PHF/HO system achieved 90% BHA degradation efficiency within 90 min, significantly outperforming conventional HNT/FeO (HF)/HO system (38%).
