PG - 128939 LID - S0304-3894(22)00728-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128939 [doi] AB - Ru species were loaded on a two-dimensional (2D) material of graphitic carbon nitride (2D g-C(3)N(4)) to serve as the efficient AOP catalysts. The catalytic activity was closely related to the dispersion degree of Ru, as determined by the inherent nanoarchitecture of the supporting material. Ultrathin g-C(3)N(4) nanosheets with a unique porous structure were fabricated by further thermally oxidizing and etching bulk g-C(3)N(4) (bCN) in air. Homogeneous dispersion of Ru species was successfully achieved on the porous few-layered g-C(3)N(4) nanosheets (pCN) by stirring, washing, freeze drying and annealing processes to obtain Ru-pCN catalysts, whereas bCN or multilayered g-C(3)N(4) (mCN) led to the aggregation of Ru nanoparticles in Ru-bCN and Ru-mCN materials. The conventional impregnation method also caused the resulting Ru-pCN-imp catalyst with undesirable Ru aggregation in spite of employing pCN. The optimal 4.4Ru-pCN removed 100% of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) within only 3 min, superior to its counterpart samples, and exhibited remarkable degradation efficiencies for methyl orange, neutral red, 4-chlorophenol, tetracycline and oxytetracycline. Mechanistic studies suggested that four radicals, e.g., (*)OH, SO(4)(* -), O(2)(* -) and (1)O(2) were generated during the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, in which SO(4)(* -) and (1)O(2) played a major role.
