Introducing Br, K, and cyano group into carbon nitride for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production then in situ tetracycline mineralization. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 667:433-440.

Abstract
In this work, Br, K-doped and cyano group-rich carbon nitride (CN) were prepared via pyrolysis of molten urea and 6-Bromopyridine-3-carbaldehyde, followed by re-calcination with potassium thiocyanate. The hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) evolution and in situ tetracycline (TC) mineralization performances of the prepared samples were studied. The optimal sample could produce 9127 μmol g-1 h-1 H2O2 from 10 vol% ethanol solution and air atmosphere, which was 10.9 times higher than that of pristine CN. With addition of 4 mg L-1 Fe2+ ions, 97.2% of TC (10 mg L-1) and 98.7% of total organic carbon were removed in 30 min under the actions of holes, hydroxyl and superoxide radicals. The high H2O2 yield and TC mineralization ratio were attributed to the increased light absorption, efficient electrons-holes separation, enhanced surface O2 adsorption (0.3878 mmol g-1), and accelerated conversion from Fe3+ to Fe2+ ions. Meanwhile, the system possessed good reusability in H2O2 evolution and TC removal. It is expected that this work can provide new ideas to design CN-based photo-Fenton system to treat wastewater.

[PMID: 38342204 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
With widespread and excessive use of antibiotics in medicine, poultry farming, and aquaculture, antibiotic residues have become a significant threat to both eco-environment and human health. In this paper, using hydroxyapatite nanowires (HApNWs) as an ecologically compatible carrier, a novel nano-hammer shaped conjunction with HApNW conjugating CuO microspheres (CuO@HApNWs) was successfully synthesized by in-situ agglomeration method. The catalytic degradation performance of the nano-hammer shaped CuO@HApNWs with Fenton-like activation was investigated by using tetracycline (TC) as a representative antibiotic pollutant. Remarkably, it exhibited excellent catalytic activity, which the removal rate of TC got to 92.0% within 40 min, and the pseudo-second-order reaction kinetic constant was 18.33 × 10-3 L mg-1·min-1, which was 26 times and 5 times than that of HApNWs and CuO, respectively. Furthermore, after recycling 6 times, the degradation efficiency of TC still remained above 85 %. Based on radical scavenger tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, it demonstrated that the excellent activity of CuO@HApNWs was mainly attributed to the fact that Fenton-like activation promotes the circulation of Cu2+ and Cu+, the generated main active oxygen species (•OH and O2-•) achieve efficient degradation of TC. In summary, the nano-hammer shaped CuO@HApNWs could be in-situ synthesed, and used as an eco-friendly Fenton-like catalyst for effectively catalytic degradation of organic pollutants, which has great potential for wastewater treatment.
