Enhanced Catalytic Ozonation by Mn-Ce Oxide-Loaded Al₂O₃ Catalyst for Ciprofloxacin Degradation.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic ozonation is an effective and promising advanced oxidation technology for organic pollutant removal. Herein, CexMn_1-xO₂ metal oxides loaded on Al₂O₃ catalysts (Mn-Ce/Al₂O₃) were synthesized for catalytic ozonation of the wastewater containing ciprofloxacin. The morphology, crystal structure, and specific surface area of the prepared catalyst were characterized. The characteristics of the Mn-Ce/Al₂O₃ catalyst revealed that the loaded MnO₂ could interfere with the formed CeO₂ crystals and then produced complex CexMn_1-xO₂ oxides. Compared with an ozone-alone system (47.4%), the ciprofloxacin degradation efficiency in the Mn-Ce/Al₂
