Abstrakt: The development of novel wastewater treatment processes that use heterogeneous catalysts to activate hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) with bicarbonate (HCO 3 - ) has been a subject of great interest in recent years; however, significant challenges remain, despite research into numerous metal-based catalysts. The work presented herein employed oxygen-doped graphitic carbon nitride (O/g-C 3 N 4 ) as a non-metal catalyst for activating H 2 O 2 in the presence of HCO 3 - , and this method represented the first system capable of removing organic pollutants in the dark, to our knowledge. The catalysts were characterized using several microscopic imaging, spectroscopic, electrochemical, and crystallographic techniques, as well as N 2 -physorption procedures. Analysis of the results revealed that the O/g-C 3 N 4 catalyst possessed a high specific surface area and many defect sites. Various operational parameters, including the relative amounts of HCO 3 - , H 2 O 2 , and O/g-C 3 N 4 , were systemically investigated. A clear performance enhancement was observed in the degradation of organic contaminants when subjected to the HCO 3 - -H 2 O 2 -O/g-C 3 N 4 system, and this result was ascribed to the synchronous adsorption and chemical oxidation processes. The novel system presented herein represented a new water treatment technology that was effective for removing organic contaminants.
