Upcycling of Waste Durian Peel into Valued Fe/N Co-Doped Porous Materials as Peroxymonosulfate Activator for Terramycin Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen-doped graphene-coated Fe nanoparticles (EC@N₆Fe_0.6-700) were synthesized through the pyrolysis of a durian peel-supported urea ferric salt mixture. These materials were subsequently utilized to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for oxidation of terramycin (TEC). The incorporation of an optimal amount of urea and ferric nitrate during the synthesis of materials significantly improves the catalytic activity of the resulting catalysts after pyrolysis. Using EC@N₆Fe_0.6-700 catalyst at a concentration of 0.10 g L^-1, 98.55% oxidation of 20 mg L^-1 TEC is achieved within 60 min. Additionally, EC@N₆Fe_0.6-700 exhibits exceptionally low metal leaching, with levels remaining below 0.25 mg L^-1. Th
