Effective Removal of Tetracycline by Using Biochar Supported Fe3O4 as a UV-Fenton Catalyst

doi:10.1007/s40242-018-8213-z

Abstract

Abstract: Novel Fe₃O₄-decorate hierarchical porous carbon skeleton derived from maize straw (Fe₃O₄@MSC) was synthesized by a facile co-precipitation process and a calcination process, which was developed as a UV assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst. The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature. The morphology and structure analysis revealed that the as-prepared Fe₃O₄@MSC retained the original pore morphology of the maize straw material. The non-uniform polyhedral Fe₃O₄ grew on the whole surface of the MSC, which reduced the aggragation of Fe₃O₄ and provided more active sites to strengthen the UV-assisted Fenton-like reaction. As a result, the tetracycline (TC) degradation efficiency after 40 min reaction and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency after 2 h reaction of Fe₃O₄@MSC catalyzing UV-Fenton system reached 99.2% and 72.1%, respectively, which were more substantial than those of Fe₃O₄@MSC/H₂O₂ (31.5% and 2%), UV/H₂O₂ system (68% and 23.4%) and UV/Fe₃O₄/H₂O₂ (80% and 37.5%). The electron spin resonance (ESR) results showed that the ^·OH played an important role in the catalytic reaction. A possible degradation pathway of TC was proposed on the basis of the identified intermediates. Overall, the UV assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like process in Fe₃O₄@MSC improved the cycle of Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ and activated the interfacial catalytic site, which eventually realized the enhancement of degradation and mineralization to tetracycline.
