摘要：A highly efficient, eco-friendly and relatively low-cost catalyst is necessary to tackle bottlenecks in the treatment of industrial wastewater laden with heavy metals and antibiotic such as livestock farm and biogas liquids. This study investigated co-oxidative removal of arsenite (As(III)) and tetracycline (TC) by iron nanoparticles (Fe NP)-impregnated carbons based on heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions. The composites included Fe NP@biochar (BC), Fe NP@hydrochar (HC), and Fe NP@HC-derived pyrolysis char (HDPC). The functions of N and S atoms and the loading mass of the Fe NP in the Fe NP@BC in heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions were studied. To sustain its cost-effectiveness, the spent Fe NP@BC was regenerated using NaOH. Among the composites, the Fe NP@BC achieved an almost complete removal of As(III) and TC under optimized conditions (1.0 g/L of dose; 10 mM H2O2; pH 6; 4 h of reaction; As(III): 50 μM; TC: 50 μM). The co-oxidative removal of TC and As(III) by the Fe NP@ BC was controlled by the synergistic interactions between the Fe NPs and the active N and S sites of the BC for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). After four consecutive regeneration cycles, about 61 and 95% of As(III) and TC removal were attained. This implies that the spent carbocatalyst still has reasonable catalytic activities for reuse. Overall, this suggests that adding technological values to unused biochar as a carbocatalyst like Fe NP@BC was promising for co-oxidative removal of As(III) and TC from contaminated water.
