Sonocatalysis has attracted excellent research attention to eradicate hazardous pollutants from the environment effectively. This work synthesised an organic/inorganic hybrid composite catalyst by coupling Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) (FM) with ZnS nanoparticles using solvothermal evaporation method. Remarkably, material delivered significantly enhanced sonocatalytic efficiency for removing tetracycline (TC) antibiotics in presence of H2O2 compared bare nanoparticles. By adjusting different parameters such as TC concentration, dosage and amount, optimized (20 %Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe)/ZnS) removed 78.25% antibiotic 20 min at cost 1 mL H2O2. These much superior activities are attributed efficient interface contact, effective charge transfer, accelerated transport capabilities strong redox potential acoustic catalytic performance FM/ZnS systems. Based on various characterization, free radical capture experiments energy band structures, we proposed a mechanism degradation based S-scheme heterojunctions Fenton like reactions. will provide important reference developing ZnS-based nanomaterials study sonodegradation pollutants.
