In this study, the catalytic materials of MnO/γ-AlO, CeO/γ-AlO, and MnCeO/γ-AlO for catalytic ozonation were synthesized. The catalysts were used in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of the wastewater containing ntrofurazone (NFZ). The effects of the catalytic ozonation operational factors were systematically evaluated in terms of ozone dosing, catalyst dosing, initial NFZ concentration, and pH. The results showed that the catalytic activity of the MnCeO/γ-AlO was higher than that of the MnO/γ-AlO and CeO/γ-AlO. The kinetics analysis revealed that bimetallic loading has a synergistic effect and the mechanism of this effect was investigated in the catalytic ozonation system. The catalysts were characterized by FESEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, IR, and BET. The characteristics of the catalysts revealed that Mn could alter the oxide species on the metal surface and interfere with the formation of CeO crystals, which led to smaller grains, enhanced adsorption oxygen, and greater specific surface area. The MnCeO/γ-AlO crystals could form a solid solution, which helps higher catalytic activity. This study adds to the understanding of the synergistic mechanism of the loaded Ce-Mn oxide catalysts in the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system and provides a feasible method for degrading pharmaceutical wastewater.

Article Synopsis
- Norfloxacin was ozonized in clay suspensions to study its toxicity on Lemna minor, which helps assess antibiotic impact in environments with clay.
- The study found that norfloxacin causes toxicity in Lemna minor through oxidative stress, worsened by ozonation, affecting growth and chlorophyll levels.
- Results indicate that the type of clay catalyst and the oxidation process influence the toxicity outcomes, revealing the potential formation of more harmful byproducts from the antibiotic.

Developing and implementing technologies that can significantly reduce food loss during storage and transport are of paramount importance. Ozone synergistic catalytic oxidation (OSCO) technology has been developed, which sterilizes bacteria and viruses on the surface of food and degrades ethylene released during fruit storage through the active oxygen produced by the catalytic decomposition of ozone. Herein, we report the hydrothermal synthesis of MnO with distinct phase compositions and nanostructures through simply varying the reaction temperatures.
