Data for a new spinel catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate for highly efficient degrading organic contaminants in water based on non-radical process

The aim of this research is to degrade organic contaminants in aqueous solution via lead ferrite (PbFe₂O₄) as a catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS). PbFe₂O₄ was synthesized by a citrate combustion method and analyzed by SEM, TEM and XRD. A simulated solution including thionine were used, with different conditions tested to optimize the degradation process, including comparing PbFe₂O₄ to other catalysts, PbO and Fe₂O₃, and tracking active oxygen species. The concentrations of thionine and PMS were tracked with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer in the treatment process. The data are presented as graphs and tables. A detailed analyses of this report can be found in the article "New insight into the mechanism of peroxymonosulfate activation by nanoscaled lead-based spinel for organic matters degradation: a singlet oxygen-dominated oxidation process" published in Journal of colloid and interface science.
