Enhanced phenol degradation via CuFe2O4 loaded on alumina spheres: synergistic activation of peroxymonosulfate by ascorbic acid

Puntos clave

• Phenol degradation improved significantly through the synergistic activation of peroxymonosulfate with ascorbic acid.
• The most important metric showed a notable increase in degradation efficiency with the introduction of CuFe2O4 on alumina spheres.
• Assessment using peroxymonosulfate activation methods revealed effective phenol removal rates in experimental setups.
• This method supports more efficient phenol removal processes, with promising implications for wastewater treatment solutions.
