Iron-copper bimetallic nanoparticles embedded within ordered mesoporous carbon as effective and stable heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the degradation of organic contaminants

- Iron-copper bimetallic nanoparticles highly dispersed in ordered mesoporous carbon.
- TOC removal of eight contaminants by using CuFe-MC as catalyst was higher than Fe2+.
- The synergistic effect of iron and copper remarkably enhance the catalytic activity.
- CuFe-MC catalyst remained good stability and activity even after five recycles.
