Electro-enhanced sulfamethoxazole degradation efficiency via carbon embedding iron growing on nickel foam cathode activating peroxymonosulfate: Mechanism and degradation pathway
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science(2022)
摘要
The combination of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by hetero-catalysis and electrolysis (EC) attracted incremental concerns as an efficient antibiotics degradation method. In this work, carbon embedding iron (C@Fe) catalysts growing on nickel foam (NF) composite cathode (C@Fe/NF) was prepared via in-situsolvothermal growth and carbonization method and used to activate PMS toward sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. The EC-[C@Fe/NF(II)]-PMS system exhibited an excellent PMS activation, with 100% SMX removal efficiency achieving within 30 min. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and their roles in SMX degradation were confirmed by quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance. It was found that singlet oxygen (1O2) and surface-bound radicals were responsible for SMX degradation, and 1O2 contributed the most. Furthermore, the possible SMX degradation pathways were proposed on the base of the detected degradation intermediates and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Toxicity changes were also assessed by the Ecological Structure Activity Relationships (ESAR). This work provides a practicable strategy for synergistically enhancing PMS activation efficiency and promoting antibiotics removal.
