Abstract

A novel Mn-doped Fe-based metal–organic framework (MOF) Fenton-like catalyst was prepared for the removal of wastewater organic pollutants. The catalyst exhibited good degradation performance, stability, and recyclability for the removal of phenol from water with a maximum catalytic efficiency of 96%. Incorporating a long persistent phosphor in the MOF ensured optimum performance in the dark.

Highlights

  • The Fenton oxidation process has been recognized for some time as a promising and effective method for the treatment of toxic, refractory, and non-biodegradable wastewater organic pollutants.[1−3] The hydroxyl radical (OH) is the main reactive species in the Fenton reaction, which, owing to its nonselective nature, can attack many organic pollutants

  • X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the crystal structure of the synthesized MIL-88BFe catalyst doped with 8% Mn

  • The Mn-doped metal−organic framework (MOF) exhibited the same characteristic XRD pattern as MIL-88B-Fe and with almost no decrease in intensity, indicating that the crystal structure did not change after manganese doping

Summary

Introduction

The Fenton oxidation process has been recognized for some time as a promising and effective method for the treatment of toxic, refractory, and non-biodegradable wastewater organic pollutants.[1−3] The hydroxyl radical (OH) is the main reactive species in the Fenton reaction, which, owing to its nonselective nature, can attack many organic pollutants. There is still a demand for the design and preparation of catalysts with effective exposed active sites.[6−8]
