Abstrakt: Polyacrylamide (PAM) in environmental water has become a major problem in water pollution management due to its high molecular mass, high viscosity and non-absorption by soil. CoFe 2 O 4 with strong magnetic properties was prepared by solvent-thermal synthesis method and used as the catalyst for the removal on PAM in heterogeneous Electro-Fenton (EF) system. It showed that the removal efficiency of PAM by the heterogeneous EF system using CoFe 2 O 4 catalyst was 92.01% at pH 3 after 120 min. Further studies indicated that ·OH was the most significant active species for the removal of PAM, and the contribution of ·O 2 - and SO 4 ·- for the removal of PAM was less than 15%. The reusability test and XRD, XPS, FTIR analyses proved that the catalyst had good stability. After a repeated use for five times, the catalyst still had a high PAM removal rate and stable structure. The valence distribution and functional groups of the phase components of the catalyst did not change significantly before and after the reaction. The possible mechanism of catalyst activation of H 2 O 2 was deduced by mechanism investigation. The CoFe 2 O 4 is an efficient and promising catalyst for the removal of PAM wastewater.
