Abstract:In this study, polypropylene (PP) nonwoven was taken as matrix, the co-deposition method of dopamine and polyethyleneimine was used to prepare the polydopamine/polyethyleneimine-functionalized polypropylene nonwoven (PDA/PEI@PP). The performance and mechanism of PDA/PEI@PP on Fe2+ activated persulfate (PS) and degrading acid red B (ARB) were studied. SEM was used to characterize the PDA/PEI@PP material. The ARB degradation effects in different systems of PS, PDA/PEI@PP/PS, Fe2+/PS and PDA/PEI@PP/Fe2+/PS were also studied. Electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) were used to identify the mechanism of PDA/PEI@PP activated PS and radicals formation. In addition, the reduction of Fe3+ by PDA/PEI@PP was investigated. The results showed that the throughout pore structure was presented in PDA/PEI@PP nonwoven material, which facilitated PS activation by the surface functional groups of PDA/PEI@PP. PDA/PEI@PP could promote the catalytic oxidation of Fe2+/PS system, the degradation rate of ARB could reach 98% within 90 min when the initial content of Fe2+ was 0.5 mmol·L?1, and the reaction rate constant was 0.040 min?1. Without the addition of Fe2+, PDA/PEI@PP could directly activate PS, produce radicals for ARB degradation with a rate of 56%. On the surface of PDA/PEI@PP, the catechol groups reacted with o-quinone groups to produce semiquinone, which could activate PS and produce sulfate radical ($ {\rm{SO}}_4^{ \cdot - } $) and hydroxyl radical (·OH). At the same time, the catechol groups on the surface of PDA/PEI@PP also could reduce the Fe3+ to Fe2+, which could sustainably activate PS. Therefore, the promoting effects of PDA/PEI@PP on Fe2+ activated PS are mainly due to the synergetic activation of PS and Fe3+ reduction by PDA/PEI@PP. The study provides a better solution for further improving the efficiency of oxidation degradation of dye wastewater by Fe2+ activated PS. Key words:polydopamine/polyethyleneimine-functionalized polypropylene nonwoven(PDA/PEI@PP)/ catechol group/ o-quinone group/ ferrous iron/ persulfate/ acid red B.
