Sustainable removal of acetamiprid by a sludge-derived catalyst through catalytic wet peroxide oxidation: Performance, mechanism and toxicity assessment

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ). Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations provided mechanistic insights into the degradation pathways, highlighting dechlorination, hydroxylation, and decyanation as dominant reactions. Toxicity assessments confirmed that transformation products were substantially less harmful than the parent compound. These findings positioned FeBioAC as a sustainable and effective catalyst for removing emerging contaminants from complex aquatic environments.
