Abstract
Fenton-like reaction exhibits considerable advantages in the remediation of pollutants. To fabricate an efficient catalyst becomes an issue concerning the performance enhancement in Fenton-like reaction. Herein, S-Fe-MOF-400 which was derived from a sulfur-doped metal-organic framework (Fe-MOF), was newly prepared and exhibited high ability for H2O2 activation during Fenton-like reaction. The results showed that the sulfurization effectively reduced the charge transfer resistance (Rct) of S-Fe-MOF-400, and facilitated the charge transfer, consequently enhancing the catalytic performance of S-Fe-MOF-400 in the Fenton-like reaction. XRD analysis revealed that FeS2 was the predominant reactive component in S-Fe-MOF-400 with a regular cubic structure and pronounced crystallinity. Additionally, the presence of low-valent sulfur ensured the availability of Fe (II), thereby facilitating the occurrence of the Fenton reaction. Under optimal conditions, the removal efficiency of pollutants reached 86.7 % within 60 min, resulting in total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency at 40.6 %. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detections revealed that •OH, 1O2, and synergistically participated in the Fenton-like reaction, with •OH being the primary active species. The activation process of H2O2 induced by S-Fe-MOF-400 mainly yielded hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals. The 1O2 was generated through two following pathways: (i) the transformation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, and (ii) the conversion of natural oxygen molecules (O2). This current study illustrated the significant potential for the application of sulfur-modified Fe-MOF in the Fenton-like reaction for pollutant removal.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
