The heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like process is emerging as a promising treatment of antibiotics-containing wastewater. The preparation of new efficient and stable catalysts is one of the research fields. A composite catalyst, prussian blue (PB) modified CeO was prepared, characterized, and applied for photo-Fenton oxidation of norfloxacin (NOR) in this study. It was found that chemical doping of PB leaded to more oxygen vacancies and increased the surface area of CeO obviously. PB/CeO with more Ce facilitated electron transfer between Fe/Fe with Ce/Ce. PB could also improve the separation rate of photoexcited electron-hole pairs in CeO nanostructures. When the doping ratio of PB and CeO was 10%, PB/CeO show the highest catalytic degradation ability and 88.93% of NOR could be degraded within 30 min. PB/CeO composite showed well reactivity at the wide pH value range of 3-8. The reusable experiments and low iron dissolution with less than 1 mg/L indicated that PB/CeO could be employed as an efficient heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like catalyst in organic contaminants degradation.

The regulation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by photo-assisted heterogeneous catalysis is under in-depth investigation with potential as a replaceable advanced oxidation process in water purification, yet it remains a significant challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to construct polyethylene glycol (PEG) well-coupled dual-defect V-M-CoO@CN S-scheme heterojunction to degrade organic pollutants without aeration, which dramatically provides abundant active sites, excellent photo-thermal property, and distinct charge transport pathway for PMS activation. The degradation rate of V-M-CoO@CN in anaerobic conditions shows a higher efficient rate (4.

Metal-free photocatalysis that produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) shows significant promising applications for environmental remediation. Herein, we constructed iodine-doped carbon nitride (I-CN) for applications in the photocatalytic inactivation of bacteria and the heterogeneous Fenton reaction. Our findings revealed that I-CN demonstrates superior photocatalytic activity compared to pure CN, due to enhanced light adsorption and a narrowed band gap.

A lot of attention has been drawn to photo-Fenton-like catalysis among advanced oxidation processes for environmental remediation applications. Herein, we have successfully fabricated iron-nickel bimetallic magnetic nano-alloy (INBMNA) as an efficient heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like catalyst using the chemical reduction method and characterized by several analytical techniques. The characterization results show that the catalyst has a spherical shape with a mesoporous nature and contains a large specific surface area.

In the present study, drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS) was reused as a catalyst in advanced oxidation processes for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. After determining their chemical and mineralogical compositions by X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), and FT-IR spectra. DWTS has been used as a heterogeneous photo Fenton-Like catalyst for the oxidation of MB under different parameters, including pH (3-6), HO concentration (9.
