Abstract
New pollutant pharmaceutical and personal care products(PPCPs),especially antiviral drugs,have re-ceived increasing attention not only due to their increase in usage after the outbreak of COVID-19 epi-demics but also due to their adverse impacts on water ecological environment.Electro-Fenton technol-ogy is an effective method to remove PPCPs from water.Novel particle electrodes(MMT/rGO/Fe3O4)were synthesized by depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide modified montmorillonite and acted as catalysts to promote oxidation performance in a three-dimensional electro-Fenton(3D-EF)sys-tem.The electrodes combined the catalytic property of Fe3O4,hydrophilicity of montmorillonite and elec-trical conductivity of graphene oxides,and applied for the degradation of Acyclovir(ACV)with high ef-ficiency and ease of operation.At optimal condition,the degradation rate of ACV reached 100%within 120 min,and the applicable pH range could be 3 to 11 in the 3D-EF system.The stability and reusability of MMT/rGO/Fe3O4 particle electrodes were also studied,the removal rate of ACV remained at 92%after 10 cycles,which was just slightly lower than that of the first cycle.Potential degradation mechanisms were also proposed by methanol quenching tests and FT-ICR-MS.
