Abstract
To remove the metronidazole, the iron oxides loaded on granular activated carbon (FeOx-GAC) were prepared by the impregnation–calcination approach. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that FeOx-GAC has a porous structure, in which the iron oxides with a variety of valence states are smoothly attached on the activated carbon. The catalytic activity of FeOx-GAC was evaluated for metronidazole removal, exhibiting great catalytic efficiency of the catalyst. Besides, the catalytic ozonation of metronidazole was optimized by varying the dose of ozone and catalyst, as well as the pH of the solution.
期刊介绍:
Transition Metal Chemistry is an international journal designed to deal with all aspects of the subject embodied in the title: the preparation of transition metal-based molecular compounds of all kinds (including complexes of the Group 12 elements), their structural, physical, kinetic, catalytic and biological properties, their use in chemical synthesis as well as their application in the widest context, their role in naturally occurring systems etc.
Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be of broad appeal to the readership and for this reason, papers which are confined to more specialised studies such as the measurement of solution phase equilibria or thermal decomposition studies, or papers which include extensive material on f-block elements, or papers dealing with non-molecular materials, will not normally be considered for publication. Work describing new ligands or coordination geometries must provide sufficient evidence for the confident assignment of structural formulae; this will usually take the form of one or more X-ray crystal structures.
