Abstract
In this study, Fe/N co-doped graphene-like honeycomb porous carbon (Fe-NC)was produced and used for the activating PMS to degrade TC. The Fe-NC catalyst has shown high activity in the TC degradation by activated PMS, with an efficiency of up to 94 % in 30 min. while the blank catalyst without N and Fe doping exhibited the lowest performance with 47.3 % TC degradation. Moreover, other operational factors of Fe-NC catalysts were also investigated to evaluate its catalytic activity. The burst experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments demonstrated that free radical paths (O2·-) and non-free radical paths (1O2) coexist inside the Fe-NC/PMS system. The experiment results and degradation mechanism analysis revealed that N species(Pyridine N, Graphite N,Fe-Nx) and iron species (Fe0) were possible to be the active species of catalysts. Furthermore, Fe-NC/PMS system was investigated for possible pathway of TC degradation by liquid mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and the presence of intermediates was analyzed for toxicity magnitude by ECOSAR software.
