BACKGROUND Tetracycline (TC) residues in water and soil have received wide attention due to their adverse effects on human health and ecosystem. Layer-structured biogenic manganese oxides (BMOs) could be obtained from fungi Pleosporales sp. Y-5 culture. Cobalt doping into BMOs (Co-BMOs) was conducted by a facile impregnation-calcination method to eliminate TC residues through activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). RESULTS The TC in aqueous solution could be nearly completely removed in about 10 minutes under the optimal condition ([TC] = 50 mg L-1, [catalyst] = 0.2 g L-1, [PMS] = 0.4 g L-1, 25 degrees C). The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) identified the coexistence of SO4-center dot and OH center dot during PMS activation. The Co-BMOs catalyst remained great catalytic activity after five runs. Possible mechanism of PMS activation and TC degradation pathway were proposed. Preliminary biological toxicity test using green algae Chlorella vulgaris (FACHB-8) as ecological indicator confirmed that TC degradation solution was less toxic than the original solution. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated high catalytic activity and stability of Co-BMOs for degradation of TC by PMS activation. The Co-BMOs/PMS system is helpful in new efforts for TC degradation without generation of more toxic intermediates. (c) 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
