Abstract

With Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) widely promoted, MnCe-based catalysts have received extensive attention under the advantages of high efficiency, stability and economy for refractory organic pollutants present in urban wastewater. Driven by multiple factors such as environmental pollution, technological development, and policy promotion, a systematic review of MnCe-based catalysts is urgently needed in the current research situation. This research provides a critical review of MnCe-based catalysts for removal of organic pollutants in urban wastewater by AOPs. It is found that co-precipitation and sol-gel methods are more appropriate methods for catalyst preparation. Among a host of influence factors, catalyst composition and pH are crucial in the catalytic oxidation processes. The synergistic effect of the free radical pathway and surface catalysis results in better pollutants degradation. It is more valuable to utilize multiple systems for oxidation (e.g., photo-Fenton technology) to improve the catalytic efficiency. This review provides theoretical guidance for MnCe-based catalysts and offers a reference direction for future research in the AOPs of organic pollutants removal from urban wastewater.
