Resumo(s)
Plastic derived carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were tested as catalysts in persulfate activation for the first time. Four
catalysts were prepared by wetness impregnation and co-precipitation (using Al2O3, Ni, Fe and/or Al) and
implemented to grow CNTs by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) using low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as
carbon feedstock. A catalyst screening was performed in batch mode and the best performing CNTs
(CNT@Ni+Fe/Al2O3-cp) led to a high venlafaxine mass removal rate (3.17 mg g- 1 h- 1) in ultrapure water after
90 min (even with a mixture of micropollutants). Its degradation increased when the matrix was replaced by
drinking water and negligibly affected in surface water. A composite polymeric membrane was then fabricated
with CNT@Ni+Fe/Al2O3-cp and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a high venlafaxine mass removal rate in surface
water being also observed in 24 h of continuous operation. Therefore, the results herein reported open a window
of opportunity for the valorisation of plastic wastes in this catalytic application performed in continuous mode.
