Preparation of a Heterogeneous Catalyst CuO-Fe2O3/CTS-ATP and Degradation of Methylene Blue and Ciprofloxacin
Source abstract
Abstract
A heterogeneous particle catalyst (CuO-Fe2O3/CTS-ATP) was synthesized via injection molding and ultrasonic immersion method, which is fast and effective. The particle catalyst applied attapulgite (ATP) wrapped by chitosan (CTS) as support, which was loaded dual metal oxides CuO and Fe2O3 as active components. After a series of characterizations of catalysts, it was found that CuO and Fe2O3 were successfully and evenly loaded on the surface of the CTS-ATP support. The catalyst was used to degrade methylene blue (MB) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), and the experimental results showed that the degradation ratios of MB and CIP can reach 99.29% and 86.2%, respectively, in the optimal conditions. The degradation mechanism of as-prepared catalyst was analyzed according to its synthesis process and ∙OH production, and the double-cycle catalytic mechanism was proposed. The intermediate products of MB and CIP degradation were also identified by HPLC-MS, and the possible degradation pathways were put forward.
