Performance of efficient Mn-N-C catalysts for the catalytic oxidation of Bisphenol A

Abstract Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) had received widespread attention as a simple and efficient means of treating pollutants, and its implementation relied on the activation of reliable catalysts. Based on this, we obtained two crystalline Mn-N-C materials in a simple way under the condition of only changing temperature. The results show that both Mn-N-C materials exhibit excellent catalytic oxidation performance and good stability in the process of activating NaIO₄ to degrade bisphenol A(BPA). Furthermore, quenching experiments are conducted to demonstrate that the reactive oxygen species generated during the reaction process are superoxide radicals (O^·-₂) and singlet oxygen(¹O₂). This provides a feasible solution for further exploring the microstructure and reaction mechanism of M-N-C catalyst and solving the problem of difficult to degrade pollutants in water.
