Abstract

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a common antibiotic used mainly for bacterial treatment. In this study, a novel three-dimensional cobalt-manganese bimetallic layered double hydroxide graphene hydrogel (CoMn-LDHs/rGO) has been prepared for photo-assisted permonosulfate (PMS)-activated degradation of SMX in water. Compared with the CoMn-LDHs/rGO + PMS and CoMn-LDHs/rGO + Vis systems, the degradation effect of CoMn-LDHs/rGO + PMS + Vis system is the best, and the degradation effect of CoMn-LDHs/rGO system could reach more than 98% under the optimal conditions. After 10 cycles, the catalytic degradation performance of CoMn-LDHs/rGO system remained good, while effectively preventing the leaching of metal ions. Based on the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and PMS oxidation, electron spin resonance spectroscopy and quenching experiments showed that three active substances (•OH, •SO4 and O2•−) were involved in the degradation of SMX. Density functional theory and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) results further proposed the SMX degradation transformation calculation. As expected, the study of the reaction mechanism of 3D CoMn-LDHs/rGO assisted PMS activation under visible light provides an efficient and rapid method for the sustainable degradation of pollutants in water system.
