Abstract

Three supported spinel cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) catalysts were synthesized and applied in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for antibiotics degradation. The introduction of boron nitrogen as the support accelerated the transformation from classic free radical oxidation process (·OH and SO4·−) to non- radical oxidation process (1O2) compared with CoFe2O4/bulk carbon nitride (BCN), CoFe2O4/activated carbon (AC), CoFe2O4 and boron nitrogen (BN). Unlike CoFe2O4/BCN and CoFe2O4/AC, the resulting CoFe2O4/BN with strong metal oxide-support interaction improved the content of lattice oxygen and PMS adsorption performance, accelerating the generation of 1O2 and the decrease in energy barrier of PMS activation. The kinetic constant of 5-CoFe2O4/BN was 2.66, 2.0 and 3.7 times higher than that of pure CoFe2O4, 5-CoFe2O4/BCN and 5-CoFe2O4/AC, respectively.
