Effects of natural pyrite and g-C3N4 constructed built-in electric field activated percarbonate on NOR removal: Mechanism, pathways, and toxicity analysis

Key Points

• Efficient NOR removal occurs through percarbonate activation using a built-in electric field, enhancing degradation pathways.
• Over 90% removal efficiency for NOR was achieved with the g-C3N4 and natural pyrite combination in treated water samples.
• Assessment using advanced nanocomposite techniques emphasizes unique toxicity profiles, ensuring environmental safety during treatment.
• Findings indicate possible implications for large-scale applications in wastewater treatment; further studies needed for real-world assessments.
