Abstract:
Iron-nitrogen co-doped modified corncob (Fe-N-BC) was synthesized using a hydrothermal and calcination method. The material shows excellent oxidation performance and environmental friendliness. When the dosage of Fe-N-BC was 0.6 g L-1, the concentration of H2O2 was 12 mM and pH was 4, ciprofloxacin (CIP) was virtually totally eliminated in 240 min under Fe-N-BC/H2O2 conditions. The TOC removal efficiency was 54.6%, and the effects of various reaction parameters on the catalytic activity of Fe-N-BC were thoroughly assessed. Through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyses and free radical quenching experiments, it was established that the reactive oxygen species (OH, O2-, 1O2) were crucial in the elimination of CIP. Furthermore, the degradation of CIP was accelerated by the synergistic interaction between the transition metal and PFRs. A thorough evaluation was conducted to assess the respective contributions of adsorption and catalytic oxidation in the system. The degradation mechanism of CIP was proposed under Fe-N-BC/H2O2 conditions. Meanwhile, the possible degradation intermediates and pathways were proposed, and the toxicity of the degradation products of CIP was also meticulously investigated in the study. These findings offered the elimination of CIP in water a theoretical foundation and technical support. OH, O2- and 1O2 were the key reactive species in the Fe-N-BC/H2O2 system. The degradation mechanism, possible pathways and products toxicity of CIP were proposed.
