摘要The conventional treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater exhibits expensive costs and inefficiency. In this paper, novel Fe-Mn bimetallic catalysts were synthesized by Mn doped different precursors of morphologies alpha-Fe2O3 with one pot hydrothermal method, and then activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade tetracycline (TC), as a model of medicaments in the water environment. Meanwhile, density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed the Fe-Mn bimetallic catalyst was favored for activating PMS. Notably, the treatment rate of TC was 90.7% within 60 min in the FMDS-3 + PMS system. Besides, the FMDS-3 bimetallic catalyst presented excellent repeatability, and its system treatment rate achieved 75% after repeated use nine times. Subsequently, the adsorption energy reached  6.857 eV as FMDS-3 adsorbed PMS, and differential charge density also clearly indicated that electron transfer was more active in the FMDS-3 + PMS system. In further research on the density of states, the electron spin of the FMDS-3 bimetallic catalyst made its characteristic peak closer to the Fermi level, which promoted the adsorption of PMS on its catalyst. The degradation mechanism revealed that SO4 center dot-, center dot OH, O2 center dot-, 1O2, and e  were involved in the degradation of TC. Then liquid chromatography -mass spectrometry (LCMS) and toxicity assessment software tools (TEST) confirmed that intermediate product toxicity during TC degradation was much lower than that of TC. Finally, the removal rates of NH3  N, TOC and COD within 100 min in the FMDS-3 + PMS system were 78.5%, 40.5% and 80.4% respectively in the actual pharmaceutical wastewater. The study can provide support for the effective treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater.
