Fenton and Fenton-like Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) have obtained large applicative use for the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. Herein, we discuss a novel bimetal Cu-Mn porous silica-supported Fenton-like AOP catalyst with interparticle mesoporosity working under neutral pH and UV-VIS irradiation (CuMnKIL with Mn/Si = 0.01, Mn/Cu = 0.06). The photocatalyst was prepared via solvothermal synthesis (Mn incorporation into porous silica support) followed by incipient wetness impregnation (Cu loading into Mn containing porous silica support) and was tested for the decomposition of methylene blue as a model dye. Copper addition significantly reduced Mn leaching from the porous silica support (from 60 to 30 %) and functioned also as additional surface adsorption site. CuMnKIL (Mn/Si = 0.01, Mn/Cu = 0.06) showed 20 % higher adsorption and 20 % lower efficiency if compared with MnKIL (Mn/Si = 0.01) in Fenton-like AOP system, however, addition of irradiation (photo-Fenton-like system) improved efficiency of Cu/MnKIL (Mn/Si = 0.01, Mn/Cu = 0.06) for 10 % if compared to MnKIL (Mn/Si=0.01) due to the additional (OH)-O-center dot radicals produced by the decomposition of H2O2 by the light. No synergistic effects between Cu and Mn were recorded, meaning that Cu and Mn sites were acting as separate sites, which was confirmed with AR-TEM imaging as well as UV spectroscopy studies.
