Cubic cobalt and zinc co-doped magnetite nanoparticles for persulfate and hydrogen peroxide activation towards the effective photodegradation of Sulfalene

In this work, the cubic cobalt and zinc doped co-doped magnetite nanocatalysts were synthesized characterized using different analysis. The so-synthesized photocatalysts used for activation of hydrogen peroxide (HP) persulfate (PS) under UVA irradiation. integration Fe2.5Co0.3Zn0.2O4 improved PS HP; wherein, UVA/Fe2.5Co0.3Zn0.2O4/PS process demonstrated higher degradation performance Sulfalene (SFL) as a veterinary pharmaceutical contaminant in water. Afterward, effect physicochemical parameters was studied radicals generated through identified chemical scavengers. brought about 67% SFL real wastewater. Moreover, 85% TOC removal achieved within 15 h above-mentioned process. Eventually, phototoxicity untreated treated solution after 120 min Lemna minor aquatic species.
