Article Synopsis
- Pristine pyrogenic carbonaceous material from rice husk, modified with FeCl, showed enhanced capabilities as a carbocatalyst in degrading acetaminophen in water compared to its non-modified form.
- The modification increased pore size and introduced functional groups, facilitating pollutant removal through adsorption and effective carbocatalytic degradation.
- The BRH-FeCl system was reusable, demonstrated efficient activation of peroxymonosulfate, and produced a primary degradation product that was less harmful than acetaminophen, making it a viable option for treating pharmaceutical-polluted water.
