Activation of peroxydisulfate with N-doped CoFe2O4 for tetracycline hydrochloride degradation: the predominant role of radical and singlet oxygen cooperation

Key Points

• Degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride was notably effective with N-doped CoFe2O4, indicating a synergistic effect.
• The study found that the cooperation between radicals and singlet oxygen significantly enhanced degradation rates.
• Assessment using peroxydisulfate with N-doped CoFe2O4 demonstrated substantial degradation efficiency in water treatment.
• This work highlights the potential for advanced oxidation processes to address antibiotic contamination in environments.
