Synergistic effect by supported activated carbon between functional groups and metal oxygen vacancies: enhancing ibuprofen degradation by improving ozone mass transfer

The fabrication and application of CuMn 2 O 4 @WAC and CuMn 2 O 4 @CSAC in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation for degrading IBP were investigated. The adsorption and decomposition mechanisms of ozone on the surfaces of AC and CuMn 2 O 4 were explored.
