Heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate by sillenite Bi25FeO40: Singlet oxygen generation and degradation for aquatic levofloxacin

Abstract

Abstract Sillenite bismuth ferrite (S-BFO) Bi25FeO40 was synthesized by a hydrothermal process and firstly adopted for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Multiple characterization was conducted for the morphology and physicochemical features of S-BFO. Degradation of aquatic levofloxacin (LVF) was thoroughly evaluated by using a coupled process for the decontamination of the typical emerging organics. Some crucial parameters for the activation kinetics as well as economic recyclability were examined with the detailed mechanism proposed. For the first time, singlet oxygen (1O2) was identified as the main reactive oxygen species through radical scavenging experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) and HPLC-MS determination. Based on the XPS and EPR results, a catalytic mechanism is proposed concerning the parallel generations of 1O2: (i) Bi5+ is replaced by Bi3+, resulting in the formation of an oxygen vacancy in the lattice and an active oxygen (O∗), which could produce 1O2 through the reactions with PMS; (ii) direct formation of 1O2 from radSO-5 generated by the interaction between Bi5+ and PMS. This study demonstrates a novel catalyst for heterogeneous activation of PMS via a non-radical mechanism, which could be alternatively adopted in the decontamination in surface/ground water.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
