Magnetic Cu⁰/Fe₃O₄ submicron composites were prepared using a hydrothermal method and used as heterogeneous catalysts for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and the degradation of organic pollutants. The as-prepared magnetic Cu⁰/Fe₃O₄ submicron composites were composed of Cu⁰ and Fe₃O₄ crystals and had an average size of approximately 220 nm. The Cu⁰/Fe₃O₄ composites could efficiently catalyze the activation of PMS to generate singlet oxygen, and thus induced the rapid degradation of rhodamine B, methylene blue, orange II, phenol and 4-chlorophenol. The use of 0.1 g/L of the Cu⁰/Fe₃O₄ composites induced the complete removal of rhodamine B (20 μmol/L) in 15 min, methylene blue (20 μmol/L) in 5 min, orange II (20 μmol/L) in 10 min, phenol (0.1 mmol/L) in 30 min and 4-chlorophenol (0.1 mmol/L) in 15 min with an initial pH value of 7.0 and a PMS concentration of 0.5 mmol/L. The total organic carbon (TOC) removal higher than 85% for all of these five pollutants was obtained in 30 min when the PMS concentration was 2.5 mmol/L. The rate of degradation was considerably higher than that obtained with Cu⁰ or Fe₃O₄ particles alone. The enhanced catalytic activity of the Cu⁰/Fe₃O₄ composites in the activation of PMS was attributed to the synergistic effect of the Cu⁰ and Fe₃O₄ crystals in the composites. Singlet oxygen was identified as the primary reactive oxygen species responsible for pollutant degradation by electron spin resonance and radical quenching experiments. A possible mechanism for the activation of PMS by Cu⁰/Fe₃O₄ composites is proposed as electron transfer from the organic pollutants to PMS induces the activation of PMS to generate ¹O₂, which induces the degradation of the organic pollutants. As a magnetic catalyst, the Cu⁰/Fe₃O₄ composites were easily recovered by magnetic separation, and exhibited excellent stability over five successive degradation cycles. The present study provides a facile and green heterogeneous catalysis method for the oxidative removal of organic pollutants.
