Nitrogen-functionalized sludge carbon (NSC) was prepared by urea-mediated pyrolysis of sewage sludge (SS) and was introduced, for the first time, as a potential metal-free catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for oxidative removal of organic pollutants in water. The nitrogen functionalization of NSC catalysts significantly affected the chemical micro-environments as well as microstructures (morphology and porosity), improving the PMS activation activity towards removing various pollutants, e.g., acid orange 7, phenol and rhodamine B. On the basis of quenching studies and electron paramagnetic resonance, the formed dominant reactive oxidative species (ROS) in the NSC/PMS system was clarified to be nonradical singlet oxygen, in addition to the typical radical ROSs, sulfate and hydroxyl radicals. The incorporated pyridine N, graphite N and pristine CO in the NSC framework promoted the generation of ROS. This study provided new insights into environmentally friendly resourcing SS and exploiting novel cost-effective metal-free catalyst for PMS activation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009584 Nitrogen An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
D010545 Peroxides A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Peroxide
D002244 Carbon A nonmetallic element with atomic symbol C, atomic number 6, and atomic weight [12.0096; 12.0116]. It may occur as several different allotropes including DIAMOND; CHARCOAL; and GRAPHITE; and as SOOT from incompletely burned fuel. Carbon-12,Vitreous Carbon,Carbon 12,Carbon, Vitreous
D012722 Sewage Refuse liquid or waste matter carried off by sewers. Sludge,Sludge Flocs
D014867 Water A clear, odorless, tasteless liquid that is essential for most animal and plant life and is an excellent solvent for many substances. The chemical formula is hydrogen oxide (H2O). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Hydrogen Oxide
D014874 Water Pollutants, Chemical Chemical compounds which pollute the water of rivers, streams, lakes, the sea, reservoirs, or other bodies of water. Chemical Water Pollutants,Landfill Leachate,Leachate, Landfill,Pollutants, Chemical Water
