摘要
Nitrogen-doped carbon materials are effective catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to eliminate organic contaminants. In this research, the activity of nitrogen-doped carbon materials was significantly improved by optimizing the carbon source, and the reusability of the catalyst is used to select the best catalyst instead of depending on the performance in the first use, for avoiding the “short-life” catalyst with great initial activity. Fixing ferric nitrate nonahydrate and melamine as the metal and nitrogen sources, four catalysts were prepared using glucose, glucosamine hydrochloride, dopamine, and trimesic acid as the carbon sources, respectively. Based on the performance in PMS activation for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal, in the first use, the activity was Fe-DA-CN (carbon source: dopamine) > Fe-BTC-CN (carbon source: trimesic acid) > Fe-GLU-CN (carbon source: glucosamine) > Fe-DGLU-CN (carbon source: glucose). With no washing for the second time use, the activity was Fe-BTC-CN (0.135 min−1) ≫ Fe-DA-CN (0.037 min−1) > Fe-GLU-CN (0.032 min−1) > Fe-DGLU-CN (0.017 min−1). The large specific surface area, superior graphitization, and high C[dbnd]O/C–N group content endow Fe-BTC-CN with high ability in PMS activity. Surface-bound radicals are responsible for SMX elimination, and most of the SMX degradation intermediates have lower ecotoxicity than SMX. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
