Abstract:
      With the increasing concern of the rapid production and disposal of sewage sludge, the need to develop more environmental-friendly and high value-added benign re-use of sewage is of particular importance.In this study, sewage sludge derived magnetic carbon was fabricated and used as a novel catalyst for catalytic oxidation of Tetracycline(TC) in the presence of persulfate(PS). The results showed that magnetic porous carbon(MPC) exhibited superior catalytic activity to activate persulfate and generate more powerful reactive oxygen species(ROS), such as sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radical. 89% and 70.5% of TC and TOC removal efficiency can be achieved after 270 min's degradation when initial pH was 10.0. The results obtained by degradation kinetics of TC in different initial pH indicated that the degradation was pH-dependent and easily happened in alkaline environement.
