PG - 125050 LID - S0304-3894(21)00014-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125050 [doi] AB - The limited production of Cu(+) in the Cu(2+)/PMS processes constrained its large-scan application for the elimination of organic pollutants. In this study, molybdenum powder (Mo) was applied as the co-catalyst to improve the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in Cu(2+)/PMS system at pH 5.6. By the assistance of Mo, Cu(2+) was rapidly reduced to Cu(+) which exhibited super activity for the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Compared with Cu(2+)/PMS processes, the PMS decomposition rate and 2,4-DCP degradation efficiency respectively increased by 62.1% and 83.6% in the Mo co-catalytic Cu(2+)/PMS system after reaction for 20 min. The degradation of 2,4-DCP was completed via both the free radical and non-radical pathways and the free radicals rather than Cu(3+) contributed most to the reaction. In contrast to fresh Mo, the ratio of Mo(4+) increased and Mo(6+) decreased in the used Mo powder, due to the oxidation of Mo(0) by Cu(2+) and/or ∙OH and the reduction of Mo(6+) by O(2)∙(-). Additionally, the coexistence of Cl(-) and humic acid with low concentrations showed little effects on the Mo/Cu(2+)/PMS system while HCO(3)(-) presented an obvious depression for 2,4-DCP degradation. During five cycling runs, all the degradation rates were higher than 92.8%, indicating the good stability of Mo/Cu(2+)/PMS system. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
