- Abstract
In recent years, the elimination of organic pollutants using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on peracetic acid (PAA) has drawn increasing attention due to the high oxidative potential and low byproducts. However, to explore more efficient and stable PAA‐based AOPs, there is still great room for study on the activation of PAA and degradation mechanism in the reaction process. In this study, a new PAA‐based AOP activated by metal–organic framework‐derived cobalt phosphide (CoP) and accompanied by chemiluminescence (CL) behaviour was explored. The CoP/PAA system could efficiently degrade 99.98% of RhB (20 mg L−1) within 5 min at pH 7 compared with the conventional Co3O4/PAA system (merely 17.29%), and the degradation process was matched well with the pseudo‐first‐order kinetic, and the kinetic constants was ~23.7 times higher than that of Co3O4 (0.546 min−1 for CoP vs. 0.023 min−1 for Co3O4). In the CoP/PAA/RhB process, the CL intensity was related to the concentration of 1O2, O2•– and acetyl peroxyl radicals [CH3C(O)OO• and CH3C(O)O•]. Therefore, CL analysis, combined with quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis, was used to study the degradation mechanism in detail, and 1O2 was confirmed as the dominant contributor for the dye degradation.
