Abstract:Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with high catalytic activity were prepared with co-precipitation method, and its performance on catalytic activating persulfate (PS) and degrading sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was evaluated. The effects of PS concentration, Fe3O4 dosage, initial pH, coexisting anions(Cl-, $ {\rm{CO}}_{\rm{3}}^{{\rm{2 - }}}$ and $ {\rm{NO}}_{\rm{3}}^{\rm{ - }}$) and humic acid (HA) on sulfamethoxazole degradation were investigated. The characterization results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) demonstrated that Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with high purity have been successfully prepared. The result of repeated experiments showed that Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles possessed excellent stability and reusability. The results of SMX degradation showed that the degradation rate of SMX increased with the increase of PS concentration and Fe3O4 dosage, and the SMX degradation process fitted the first-order kinetics. At 0.5 mmol·L?1 PS, Fe3O4 dosage of 1.2 g·L?1 and initial pH 7.0, nano-Fe3O4 activated persulfate could achieve the best degradation of SMX, and SMX degradation rate could reach 93.3% after 180 min. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that Fe2+ was mainly involved in the process of activating PS and degrading SMX. The free radical quenching experiments with ethanol (EtOH) and tert-butanol (TBA) showed that $ {\rm{SO}}_{\rm{4}}^{\rm{ - }} \cdot $ and ·OH simultaneously occurred in Fe3O4/PS system and $ {\rm{SO}}_{\rm{4}}^{\rm{ - }} \cdot $ played the dominant role on SMX degradation. The above results can provide a reference for the effects of anions and humic acids on the reaction in the persulfate advanced oxidation system. Key words:magnetic nano Fe3O4/ persulfate/ sulfamethoxazole/ sulfate radical/ degradation rate.
