Data for a new spinel catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate for highly efficient degrading organic contaminants in water based on non-radical process

The aim of this research is to degrade organic contaminants in aqueous solution via lead ferrite (PbFe(2)O(4)) as a catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS). PbFe(2)O(4) was synthesized by a citrate combustion method and analyzed by SEM, TEM and XRD. A simulated solution including thionine were used, with different conditions tested to optimize the degradation process, including comparing PbFe(2)O(4) to other catalysts, PbO and Fe(2)O(3), and tracking active oxygen species. The concentrations of thionine and PMS were tracked with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer in the treatment process. The data are presented as graphs and tables. A detailed analyses of this report can be found in the article “New insight into the mechanism of peroxymonosulfate activation by nanoscaled lead-based spinel for organic matters degradation: a singlet oxygen-dominated oxidation process” published in Journal of colloid and interface science.
