Upscale catalyst Wood-N-CoPc for PMS activation in antibiotics degradation

Abstract

A wood-N-CoPc catalyst, created by immobilizing cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) onto wood, features CoN5 active sites for enhanced peroxymonosulfate activation. Applied in a fixed-bed reactor, this monolithic 3D catalyst demonstrated 85-90% pollutant removal over 128 hours, showcasing its scalability and excellent potential for continuous-flow water treatment.
