Abstract:
The development of low-cost, stable, and recyclable multiphase catalysts in advanced oxidation process is essential for efficient degradation of antibiotics. In this study, a BC-Co-W-700 catalyst was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for chlortetracycline (CTC) degradation. The catalyst was prepared using reclaimed biomass material as a matrix. The biochar-based catalyst possessed abundant active sites and realized the in-situ growth of Co and CoWO4. The BC-Co-W-700/PMS achieved 100% degradation of CTC (20 mg/L) within 18 min. Quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments were conducted to investigate the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the BC-Co-W-700/PMS system. The identified ROS in this system included 1O2, O2 center dot , SO4 center dot , and center dot OH. Abundant ROS endowed the system with strong degradation performance, applicability, and anti -interference ability. The catalytic mechanism of BC-Co-W-700/PMS system was comprehensively investigated using a combination of electrochemical experiments and theoretical calculations. The in-situ pyrrolic N formed by biochar had a strong adsorption capacity for CTC, allowing pollutants to quickly adsorb to the catalyst surface. This greatly shortened the distance required for the catalytic reaction. The introduction of W led to abundant oxygen vacancies on BC-Co-W-700, causing the catalyst to produce a large amount of 1O2. Furthermore, the oxygen vacancies provided a high concentration of electrons for the conversion of Co3+/Co2+. In addition, CTC degradation pathways were analyzed using density functional theory calculations, and the toxicity of the in-termediates was evaluated using the quantitative structure-activity relationship combined with experiments. The green catalyst synthesis method proposed in this paper could provide a new approach for the efficient degra-dation of antibiotics in wastewater.
