Abstract

Iron-based catalysts have excellent performance in activating persulfate (PS) and are readily available, attracting extensive attention from researchers. However, most of the iron-based catalysts studied at the current stage are powder materials, and there are problems such as easy agglomeration and difficulty in recycling, which restrict their practical application. In this study, a microsphere catalyst (CA-Fe microspheres) with high catalytic activity was prepared using cellulose acetate (CA) as a carrier by droplet microfluidic technology. The morphology, structure and composition of the catalysts were characterized by SEM-EDS, FTIR and BET. The high catalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in aqueous solution was tested by catalytic activation of PS. The effects of initial TCH concentration, the dosage of CA-Fe microspheres and the dosage of PS on TCH degradation were also investigated. The results showed that the CA-Fe microspheres had good activation performance for PS, and TCH could be effectively degraded in the CA-Fe/PS system. In the condition of the initial TCH concentration of 20 mg/L, the PS concentration of 2 mmol/L, and the CA-Fe microspheres dosage of 4 g/L, the degradation rate of TCH was about 85%. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and free radical quenching studies revealed that both SO₄^-· and·OH radicals were found in the CA-Fe microspheres/PS system, and the SO₄^-· radical played a major role in the degradation of TCH. Furthermore, the CA-Fe microspheres exhibited excellent structural stability and recycling performance, and the TCH degradation rate remained 80% above after three cycles. The results can provide a scientific basis for the application of cellulose-based magnetic microspheres/PS catalytic systems in the field of removing antibiotic wastewater.
