Understanding the Iron-Cobalt Synergies in ZSM-5: Enhanced Peroxymonosulfate Activation and Organic Pollutant Degradation.

ABSTRACT: Iron- and cobalt-based heterogeneous catalysts are widely applied for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade organic pollutants. However, few studies have unveiled the clear synergistic mechanism of iron and cobalt in ZSM-5. In this paper, the synergistic mechanism of enhanced PMS activation was revealed by constructing iron and cobalt bimetal modified ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts (FeCo-ZSM-5). The tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) degradation experiments showed that the catalytic activity of FeCo-ZSM-5-2:3 was much higher than those of Fe-ZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5. In addition, the influences of catalyst dosage, PMS concentration, reaction temperature, initial pH, and coexisting ions on TCH removal were systematically investigated in this paper.
