PG - 406-414 LID - S0301-4797(18)30901-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jenvman.2018.08.030 [doi] AB - Persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes have aroused considerable attentions due to their higher efficiency and wider adaptability to the degradation of bio-recalcitrant organic contaminants. In this study, Cu-Fe layered doubled hydroxide (CuFe-LDH) was employed to degrade Methyl Violet (MV) through heterogeneous photo-activation of PS under visible-light irradiation. The reaction kinetics, degradation mechanism, catalyst stability were investigated in detail. Under the conditions of CuFe-LDH (3:1) dosage 0.2 g/L, PS concentration 0.2 g/L and without initial pH adjustment, 20 mg/L MV was almost completely degraded within 18 min. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) test and radical quenching experiment indicated that sulfate radicals (SO(4)(-)) were the dominant reactive oxidants for the MV decolorization, while hydroxyl radicals (OH) were also involved. The CuFe-LDH/PS/Vis system was applicable at wide range of pH level (3-9). However, extreme pH level would lead to the reduction or transformation of SO(4)(-). The catalyst CuFe-LDH exhibited excellent stability and maintained relatively high catalytic activity to PS even after four recycles. Mechanism study revealed that the redox cycle of Fe(3+)/Fe(2+) and Cu(2+)/Cu(3+) assisted by visible-light irradiation accounted for the enhanced generation of radicals in CuFe-LDH/PS/Vis system, resulting in the improved degradation of organic contaminants. Overall, the CuFe-LDH/PS/Vis process could be a promising approach for the removal of refractory organic pollutants in wastewater. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
