In this study, a novel biochar-supported zero valent iron (BC-nZVI) was synthesized through a green method. A high performance on the simultaneous removal of Cu2+ and bisphenol A (BPA) by a combination of BC-nZVI with persulfate (BC-nZVI/PS) system was successfully achieved. The simultaneous efficiencies of Cu2+ and BPA could reach 96 and 98% within 60 min, respectively. Both HO center dot and SO4 center dot- were two major reactive species in BC-nZVI/PS system, and SO4 center dot- was primary radical responsible for the degradation of BPA. Four kinds of Cu species, such as Cu(OH)(2), CuO, Cu2O and Cu-0 were generated via the adsorption and reduction of the BC-nZVI, whereas six kinds of products of BPA including p-isopropenyl phenol and 4-isopropylphenol were generated via the combined oxidation of SO4 center dot- and HO center dot. The possible reaction mechanism for the simultaneous removal of Cu2+ and BPA by BC-nZVI/PS system contained a synergistic effect between the reduction of Cu2+ and the oxidation of BPA. This is the first report on the feasibility of the remediation of coexistence of heavy metal and organic compound in aquatic environment using the BC-nZVI/PS system. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
