Abstract:Aiming at the problem of the traditional Fenton reaction occurringwithin the low pH range, the preparation process of the chemical coprecipitation method using copper as the core Cu/Zn catalyst was optimized through orthogonal experiments, and the optimized catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, BET and XPS. The degradation effect of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by this Cu/Zn heterogeneous Fenton catalyst was investigated through the single factor analysis, the corresponding catalytic degradation intermediates of CIP were detected and the possible degradation pathways were proposed. The experimental results showed that the molar ratio of Cu/Zn metal salt was the major factor affecting the catalytic degradation of CIP by the Cu/Zn catalyst. The main component of the optimized Cu/Zn catalyst was CuO with high catalytic activity for CIP. Under the optimal conditions such as catalyst dosage of 3.0 g·L?1, H2O2 dosage of 149.55 mol·L?1, pH 5.0, the degradation rate of CIP could reach up to 95.0% after 90 min at the CIP initial concentration of 20 mg·L?1. The optimized Cu/Zn heterogeneous Fenton catalyst could maintain high catalytic activity at pH 3.0~7.0, and the utilization rate of oxidant H2O2 could reach 86.0% in the reaction system. The Cu/Zn catalyst had a good stability and low leaching concentration of metal ions. Based on LC-MS analysis, the four intermediate products of CIP degradation were detected, and we could infer that the degradation occurred on the piperazine ring of CIP by ·OH attack. The result can provide the theoretical basis for further exploring the effect of Cu/Zn heterogeneous Fenton catalyst on the degradation of other similar target pollutants. Key words:heterogeneous Fenton/ orthogonal experiment/ Cu/Zn catalyst/ CIP/ degradation mechanism.
