PG - 117970 LID - S0013-9351(23)02774-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117970 [doi] AB - As complex and difficult-to-degrade persistent organic pollutants (POPs), antibiotics have caous damage to the ecological enused serivironment. Because of the difficult degradation of antibiotics, sewage and sludge discharged by hospitals and pharmaceutical enterprises often contain a large number of antibiotic residues. Therefore, the harmless and resourceful treatment of antibiotic sludge is very meaningful. In this paper, amoxicillin was selected as a model compound for antibiotic sludge. Acidified red mud (ARM) was used to degrade antibiotic sludge and produce hydrogen energy carrier formic acid in catalytic wet peroxidation system (CWPO). Based on various characterization analyses, the reaction catalytic mechanism was demonstrated to be the result of the non-homogeneous Fanton reaction interaction between Fe(3)O(4) on the ARM surface and H(2)O(2) in solution. Formic acid is the product of the decarboxylation reaction of amoxicillin and its degradation of various organic acids. The formic acid was produced up to 792.38 mg L(-1), under the optimal conditions of reaction temperature of 90 degrees C, reaction time of 30 min, H(2)O(2) concentration of 20 mL L(-1), ARM addition of 0.8 g L(-1), pH = 7, and rotor speed of 500 rpm. This research aims to provide some references for promoting red mud utilization in antibiotic sludge degradation. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
