Efficient activation of persulfate by Fe₃O₄@β-cyclodextrin nanocomposite for removal of bisphenol A.

ABSTRACT: Experimental studies were conducted to investigate the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) by using persulfate (PS) as the oxidant and Fe₃O₄@β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) nanocomposite as a heterogeneous activator. The catalytic activity was evaluated in consideration of the effect of various parameters, such as pH value, PS concentration and Fe₃O₄@β-CD load. The results showed that 100% removal of BPA was gained at pH 3.0 with 5 mM PS, 1.0 g L^-1 Fe₃O₄@β-CD, and 0.1 mM BPA in 120 min. Further, the catalytic activity of Fe₃O₄@β-CD nanocomposite was observed as much higher when compared with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles alone. The sulfate and hydroxyl radicals referred to in the Fe₃
