摘要

A g-C3N4@ Fe/Ti bimetallic metal–organic framework (MOF) derivative Fenton-like catalyst (Fe/Ti-CN600) was synthesized via high-temperature calcination of a mixture of melamine and Fe/Ti bimetallic MOF under a nitrogen atmosphere. The incorporation of g-C3N4 provides electron-rich nitrogen sites, which facilitate electron transfer and thereby enhance redox reactions. The synergistical interplay between surface Fe3+/Fe2+ and Ti4+/Ti3+ redox couples promoted the reduction reaction of Fe3+ and collectively accelerates the activation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). Fe/Ti-CN600 revealed significantly enhanced catalytic activity compared to Fe/Ti600 and maintained high performance over five consecutive cycles. Notably, the iron leaching concentration (≤ 0.30 mg.L−1) during cyclic operation of the Fe/Ti-CN600/H2O2 system was substantially below the permissible level of surface water. The primary active species responsible for TCH degradation were identified as \({\text{HO}}^{ \cdot }\) HO · , \({\text{O}}_{2}^{ \cdot - }\) O 2 · - , and 1O2. In addition, toxicity assessment using ECOSAR 2.2 software indicated a significant reduction in the toxicity of the degraded solution. Based on active species analysis and LC–MS results, a plausible degradation pathway was proposed. The Fe/Ti-CN600 demonstrated outstanding catalytic performance and shows great promise as an effective catalyst for TCH removal.
