B,N-decorated carbocatalyst based on Fe-MOF/BN as an efficient peroxymonosulfate activator for bisphenol A degradation
2021
Abstract A novel B,N-decorated carbocatalyst (Fe@BPC-XBN) for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation was prepared by a simple pyrolysis method using the iron-based metal organic frameworks (Fe-MOF), boric acid and boron nitride (BN) as precursors. Fe@BPC-20BN removed 93.3% of bisphenol A (BPA) in 90 min compared to 64.9%, 82.1% and 83.5% with Fe@PC, Fe@BPC and Fe@PC-20BN, respectively, with 0.15 g/L catalyst and 1 mM PMS at initial pH of 7. The solo B-doping with boron acid on the Fe-MOF derived porous carbon enhanced its catalytic capacity; Moreover, B, N co-doping with BN and boron acid as precursors further promoted the catalytic performance. The addition of BN not only provided more B, N catalytic centers but also improved the stability of the carbocatalyst. In addition, hydroxyl radicals, sulfate radicals, superoxide radicals, and singlet oxygen species were involved in the degradation of BPA. Fe species, –BCO2/–BC2O, pyridinic N, and pyrrolic N groups on the carbon matrix played the important roles in the BPA degradation. The outstanding catalytic performance of Fe@BPC-20BN could be attributed to the synergistic effects between iron nanoparticles and the B/N codoped carbon matrix. This study gives new insights into the design and preparation of high-efficient B,N-decorated carbocatalysts for environmental remediation.
