Although it can effectively degrade refractory organic pollutants, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can be seriously interfered with the co-existing substance in salinity water. Herein, three-dimensional hierarchical cobalt-doped LaFeO perovskites (LaCoFeO) micron spheres composed of nano-rods were hydrothermally synthesized and applied to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degrading bisphenol A (BPA). Nearly 100% BPA was removed by LaCoFeO/PMS system in presence of more than 50 mM Cl within only 2 min compared that of 30 min without Cl, which was attributed to reactive chlorine species (RCS) including Cl and HOCl with higher oxidation capacity. •OH and SO produced by LaCoFeO activating PMS played crucial roles as the source of RCS in LaCoFeO/Cl/PMS system. The synergistic effect between ROS and RCS promoted by the enhanced oxygen vacancies and the efficient redox recycling of Fe/Fe and Co/Co. Other anions like SO and NO hardly affected the BPA degradation. BPA degradation efficiency was also improved either in a wide pH range or in the presence of natural organic matters in salty water. This work also demonstrated the potential application of FeCo bimetallic LaCoFeO activating PMS system for degradation of BPA or other organic micropollutants in seawater system.
