RT Journal Article T1 Peroxymonosulfate activation by different synthesized CuFe-MOFs: application for dye, drugs, and pathogen removal A1 Fernández Sanromán, Antía A1 Lomba Fernandez, Bárbara A1 Pazos Currás, Marta María A1 Rosales Villanueva, Emilio A1 Sanromán Braga, María Ángeles K1 3308 Ingeniería y Tecnología del Medio Ambiente K1 2391 Química Ambiental K1 3303.11 Química Industrial K1 3303 Ingeniería y Tecnología Químicas AB In this study, three CuFe-MOFs were successfully synthesized by a solvothermal process by changing the ratio of solvents, salts, or temperature. These MOFs named CuFe(BDC-NH2)R, CuFe(BDC-NH2)S, and CuFe(BDC-NH2)D showed rod-shaped, spindle-like, and diamond-like structures, respectively. The CuFe(BDC-NH2)D and CuFe(BDC-NH2)S were found to exhibit an improved PMS activation for Rhodamine B removal attaining levels around 92%. Their effective removal capability was investigated as a function of the pH, catalyst dosage, and the effect of the application of UV radiation. The best degradation system was photo-assisted activation of PMS when CuFe(BDC-NH2)D and CuFe(BDC-NH2)S were used. Under these conditions, the degradation of a mixture of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs (sulfamethoxazole and antipyrine) was evaluated with the results revealing the total degradation of both drugs after 1 h. A higher antibacterial activity was attained with the system CuFe(BDC-NH2)R/PMS due to the high copper content with respect to the others.
