Degradation of Cephalosporin C using MOF-derived Fe-Co bimetal in carbon cages as electro-Fenton catalyst at natural pH
Developing high performance electrocatalysts for effective antibiotics elimination for heterogeneous electro-Fenton (Hetero-EF) process is still a challenge. This work synthesized iron/cobalt bimetallic N doped graphitic carbon cages (Fe x Co@NC) from ZIF-8@ZIF-67-Fe dual MOF composite for Cephalosporin C (CEP-C) degradation in the Hetero-EF system at a wide pH range. Results indicated that CEP-C degradation rate and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency by Fe 40 Co@NC catalyst were as high as 82.45% (60 min) and 61.35% (240 min) at natural pH, respectively. The unique structure with FeCo bimetal encapsulated inside the N doped graphitic carbon cages enabled Fe 40 Co@NC to show excellent catalytic reactivity for H 2 O 2 activation. The generated M (•OH) and •OH all contributed to CEP-C degradation. The synergistic effects of Co 0 /Co 2+ /Co 3+ and Fe 0 /Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ cycles made Fe 40 Co@NC catalyst to continuously activate H 2 O 2 . Moreover, Fe 40 Co@NC catalyst showed good stability in consecutive cycles, and could still remain excellent reactivity when applied for CEP-C degradation from the real CEP-C fermentation residue supernatant. Furthermore, a possible CEP-C degradation pathway was proposed based on the identified intermediates.
