Degradation of Tetracyclines in Water by Activating Peroxymonosulfate with Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 67 Derivatives
摘要
Transition metals have a broad application prospect in sulfate radical-advanced oxidation process (SR-AOP) due to their advantages of high activation efficiency and no external energy input. However, transition metals present several challenges, including a cumbersome preparation process, low effective utilization of metal sites and leakage of metal ions. These limitations hinder the practical application of transition metals in sulfate radical-advanced oxidation process. In this study, ZIF67-Co3O4 catalyst was prepared using zeolite imidazolium framework derivatives as precursor. The performance of ZIF67-Co3O4 activated persulfate for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) and various factors affecting the degradation performance were investigated. The degradation reaction mechanism was also summarized. The experimental results showed that: The TC removal rate of ZIF67-Co3O4 + PMS system was 75.07% at 90 min, which possessed high removal efficiency. The ZIF67-Co3O4 catalyst exhibited high stability, it had a high catalytic activity after five recycling cycles. The active radicals generated by ZIF67-Co3O4 activated PMS degradation of TC pollutants were ·OH, SO4−·, 1O2, and ·O2−.
