Abstract

Abstract Non-radical activation of persulfate by CuO to degrade chlorinated organic pollutants has been studied. Currently, reduced graphene oxide modified spindle-like CuO (CuO/rGO, no preferential exposed crystal facet) and CuO with preferential exposed crystal facet (0 0 1) (sheet-like CuO) has been prepared to improve the performance of persulfate activation. Results showed that CuO/rGO-persulfate system and sheet-like CuO-persulfate system exhibited much better 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) removal rate than spindle-like CuO-persulfate system. The formation of Cu–O–C bond between CuO and rGO enhanced the persulfate activation by CuO. On the other hand, CuO showed crystal facet effect on persulfate activation, and the crystal facet (0 0 1) of CuO (all exposed atoms were Cu) were proved to be efficient for persulfate non-radical activation, revealing that Cu atom on surface was active site for persulfate activation. Furthermore, the pollutants selective removal by CuO/rGO-persulfate system has been found. 4-chloroaniline was most easily degraded, followed by 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol, under acidic, neutral and weak basic condition (pH 3–9). What’s more, pollutants with benzene ring was more reactive than that with double bond of carbon in the system.

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.
