Peroxymonosulfate activation by Fe-N-S co-doped tremella-like carbocatalyst for degradation of bisphenol A: Synergistic effect of pyridine N, Fe-N, thiophene S.

Bisphenol A (BPA) has received increasing attention due to its long-term industrial application and persistence in environmental pollution. Iron-based carbon catalyst activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) shows a good prospect for effective elimination of recalcitrant contaminants in water. Herein, considering the problem about the leaching of iron ions and the optimization of heteroatoms doping, the iron, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped tremella-like carbon catalyst (Fe-NS@C) was rationally designed using very little iron, S-CN and low-cost chitosan (CS) via the impregnation-calcination method.

Fe-N co-doped coral-like hollow carbon shell toward boosting peroxymonosulfate activation for efficient degradation of tetracycline: Singlet oxygen-dominated non-radical pathway.

Fe-N co-doped coral-like hollow carbon shell (Fe-N-CS) was synthesized via a simply impregnation-pyrolysis method. The Fe-N-CS showed an excellent ability for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS), which could degrade about 93.74% tetracycline (20 mg/L) in 12 min.

Non-radical pathway dominated degradation of organic pollutants by nitrogen-doped microtube porous graphitic carbon derived from biomass for activating peroxymonosulfate: Performance, mechanism and environmental application.

The agricultural waste-derived biochar can be used as an effective green catalyst for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to utilize the biomass resource. Herein, nitrogen-doped microtubes porous graphitic carbon (N-MPGC) derived from loofah sponge was facilely prepared via the impregnation-calcination method. The amount of N doping was positively correlated with the catalytic performance of N-MPGC.
