Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) as an anti-inflammatory drug is frequently detected in various water resources. Recently, Sulfate Radical-based advanced oxidation processes with manganese oxides have been recognized as a highly effective method for CIP degradation. Herein, ε-MnO2 was obtained through a convenient drying process. After different atmospheric treatments, MnO and Mn2O3 were fabricated for subsequent degradation experiments. The results show that MnO exhibits better catalytic activity than Mn2O3, with high removal efficiency of almost 84.3% for CIP. Quenching test and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra confirm that 1O2 is the dominant species during reaction, while ·OH and SO4·- play a supporting role. A related discussion about the role of valence states of Mn and oxygen vacancies is presented, which can provide a theoretical basis for further development of Mn/peroxymonosulfate system.
