In this study, magnesium and coconut shell carbon (CSC) were prepared by a ball milled process and used for water disinfection with adsorbing tiny amounts of copper(Ⅱ). Dissolved oxygen (DO) was reduced to hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) via a two-electron pathway by Mg corrosion. Cu(Ⅱ) in the wastewater will be enriched on the CSC surface and efficiently catalyzes H₂O₂ for inactivating E. coli. The results show that E. coli with an initial concentration of approximately 10⁶ CFU/mL was under the detection limit (< 4 CFU/mL) within 15 min. All of the Cu(Ⅱ) could be adsorbed by the composite and catalyzed H₂O₂ to different active species. The quenching experiments, electron spin resonance (ESR) capture measurements and the UV-vis spectroscopy detection confirmed the present of the hydroxyl radicals (^•OH), superoxide radicals (^•O₂⁻) and Cu(Ⅲ). Different with tradition Fenton like process, Cu(Ⅲ), rather than radicals, played the major role during the Mg-CSC/Cu(Ⅱ) process. In addition to the cellular membrane damage, most of the bacterial genomic DNA was also be degraded and the bacterial reactivation was avoided. The Mg-CSC/Cu(Ⅱ) process also showed a satisfied disinfection performance in real wastewater treatment. Overall, this study provides a new strategy for water disinfection.
