Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine), a psychoactive stimulant compound, has emerged as a contaminant due its endocrine disruption effect in some fish species. The high solubility and non-volatile nature of caffeine in water makes it persist in the hydrosphere. Advanced oxidation process has emerged as an efficient way to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade organic contaminates such as caffeine. In this study, a Feo-D-glucose carbon composite is synthesized under hydrothermal condition followed by carbothermic reaction under N2 and used as catalyst to activate PMS to degrade caffeine. The Feo-D-glucose carbon is duly characterized by FE-SEM, EDX, XRD and TGA. Our results show that Feo-D-glucose exhibits outstanding caffeine degradation capability. |
