摘要

A bimetallic Fe–Mn oxide supported on bamboo leaf-derived biochar (Fe–Mn/biochar) was successfully synthesized via an impregnation–desiccation technique, and its catalytic efficacy in the ozonation of Rhodamine B (RhB) was evaluated. Characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis showed that successful formation of Fe–Mn spinel-type oxides on the biochar surface, Fe–Mn/biochar has a larger surface area (289 m2/g) and more oxygen-containing functional groups than unmodified biochar. These attributes improve ozone adsorption and accelerate the formation of reactive radical species, which enhances RhB degradation. Compared to unmodified biochar, the Fe–Mn/biochar composite demonstrated a significant improvement in catalytic performance, achieving 53.1% total organic carbon (TOC) removal and 94.5% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal at pH 7, using an ozone flow rate of 1 L/min and a catalyst dosage of 10 g/L. The findings highlight the potential of Fe–Mn/biochar as a cost-effective and efficient catalyst for advanced oxidation processes, particularly in the treatment of dye wastewater.
