Abstract

Abstract In this study, natural chalcopyrite (NCP) was employed in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for bisphenol S (BPS) degradation. Firstly, the NCP catalyst was characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) techniques. Then, several key parameters such as catalyst dosage, PMS dosage and initial pH were investigated in NCP/PMS system. Furthermore, the transformation of various free radicals (SO4•−, •OH and O2•−) with the changes of initial pH were investigated by quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) study. Also, sulfur species cycling of copper and iron species were investigated via exogenous Cu2+ and Fe3+ addition experiments and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, the result indicated that sulfur species promoted Fe3+/Fe2+ and Cu2+/Cu+ cycles on the NCP surface. Furthermore, thirteen major degradation intermediates of BPS were detected by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS and density functional theory (DFT) method was used to illustrate possible reaction pathways of BPS. Finally, a reasonable reaction mechanism of NCP/PMS system for BPS degradation was proposed on the basis of the comprehensive analysis. In brief, this work helps to provide useful information for the application of natural metallic sulfide minerals in treatment of contaminated waters.

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.
