Abstract
Roxarsone (ROX), a feed additive widely used worldwide, was degraded into toxic products in the natural environment. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) based on nonradicals used for the degradation of ROX had not been reported. Herein, resorcinol–formaldehyde resins (RFs) produced by a simple high-temperature hydrothermal method had efficient photocatalytic properties to produce H2O2. FeOOH quantum dots (QDs) act as the activator and electron shuttle to decompose H2O2 to produce 1O2. RFs decorated with FeOOH quantum dots (RFs-FeQDs) were successfully synthesized and completely remove ROX with a rate of 0.03649 min−1 under simulated sunlight. Otherwise, the 99.42% arsenic-containing portion that shed from Roxarsone was eventually converted to As(V) and in-situ adsorbed by FeOOH quantum dots. The experiment data showed that ·OH, O2·− and 1O2 participated in the degradation and 1O2 was the dominant reactive species. Moreover, the systems have excellent reusability and stability over a wide pH range. This study provided a new strategy for photocatalytic production of 1O2 to remove the ROX from water.
