Photocatalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate by TiO anchored on cupper ferrite (TiO@CuFeO) into 2,4-D degradation: Process feasibility, mechanism and pathway.

A thorough study of photo-oxidation efficiency of TiO@CuFeO dissociating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is reported in detail. The origin of high catalytic activity was discussed as evidence by numerous controlled trials and several operational parameters. Based on quenching tests, possible mechanism and pathway of degradation were proposed.
