The superoxide radicals’ production via persulfate activated with CuFe2O4@Biochar composites to promote the redox pairs cycling for efficient degradation of o-nitrochlorobenzene in soil
CuFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles are decorated on biochar (BC) by modified sol-gel method to form the CuFe 2 O 4 @BC catalyst for persulfate (PS) activation in a wide pH range. The application of CuFe 2 O 4 @BC for o -nitrochlorobenzene degradation in soil was explored in this study. The mechanism of heterogeneous PS activation was comprehensively investigated. The synergistic effects between CuFe 2 O 4 and BC could enhance catalytic activity and stability, including well dispersed CuFe 2 O 4 species, efficient electron transfer and abundant oxygen functional groups. The superoxide radicals (O 2 − ) produced from CuFe 2 O 4 and BC could mediate Cu(I)/Cu(II) and Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox pairs on CuFe 2 O 4 @BC surface to activate PS, and then generating •OH and SO 4 − continuously. Moreover, the reaction intermediates are identified as well to elucidate the possible degradation pathways. These findings help to achieve more comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneous activation process of PS by CuFe 2 O 4 @BC catalyst.
