Overview

Experimental study demonstrates bicarbonate-regulated peroxymonosulfate activation with CoMn2O4 efficiently degrades organic contaminants, indicating enhanced stability for water treatment.

Key Points

To investigate whether bicarbonate supplementation can stabilize pH and suppress metal leaching during CoMn2O4-catalyzed peroxymonosulfate oxidation of organic pollutants.
Supplemented 5 mmol/L bicarbonate into a heterogeneous CoMn2O4/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalytic oxidation system treating Acid Orange 7 (AO7).
Characterized dominant reactive oxygen species and degradation pathways using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), radical quenching assays, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Evaluated catalyst operational durability over repeated runs and 48 hours of continuous operation, alongside effluent phytotoxicity via seed germination tests.
Incorporating 5 mmol/L bicarbonate stabilized the aqueous reaction pH at 7.5 ± 0.2 and suppressed cobalt and manganese leaching while maintaining catalytic activity.
Hydroxyl and sulfate radicals served as the primary reactive species driving >97% contaminant degradation in real water matrices over 48 hours of continuous treatment.
Treated wastewater exhibited substantially diminished phytotoxicity, achieving a seed germination index exceeding 80%.
