Enhanced Fenton Degradation of Tetracycline over Cerium-Doped MIL88-A/g-C₃N₄: Catalytic Performance and Mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Since enormous amounts of antibiotics are consumed daily by millions of patients all over the world, tons of pharmaceutical residuals reach aquatic bodies. Accordingly, our study adopted the Fenton catalytic degradation approach to conquer such detrimental pollutants. (Ce_0.33Fe) MIL-88A was fabricated by the hydrothermal method; then, it was supported on the surface of g-C₃N₄ sheets using the post-synthetic approach to yield a heterogeneous Fenton-like (Ce_0.33Fe) MIL-88A/10%g-C₃N₄ catalyst for degrading the tetracycline hydrochloride drug. The physicochemical characteristics of the catalyst were analyzed using FT-IR, SEM-EDX, XRD, BET, SEM, and XPS. The pH level, the H₂O₂ concentration, the reaction tem
