Optimization of the catalytic activity of a ZnCo2O4 catalyst in peroxymonosulfate activation for bisphenol A removal using response surface methodology

Schematic representation of BPA degradation with ZnCo2O4 synthesized using microwave-assisted method in ZnCo2O4/PMS system, where the optimal ZnCo2O4 can be identified through response surface methodology. According EPR detection, SO4- and OH were generated through the ZnCo2O4/PMS system and they are considered as the main active radicals.286
