Synthesis of different crystallographic FeOOH catalysts for peroxymonosulfate activation towards organic matter degradation.

ABSTRACT: In this study, different crystalline structures of FeOOH have been prepared. α-FeOOH was synthesized through a hydrothermal method, whereas β-FeOOH was synthesized via a direct hydrolysis method. Moreover, γ- and δ-FeOOH were prepared by precipitation methods through slow and quick oxidation, respectively. On this basis, their crystal structure, morphology, and surface area were measured. Then, all the synthesized materials were applied to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate sulfate radicals (SO₄ ^-˙) for acid orange 7(AO7) degradation. Compared with α-FeOOH, β-FeOOH, and γ-FeOOH, δ-FeOOH showed more efficient decolorization of AO7 in the catalytic system because of its abundant surface area and crystalline structure.
