In this study, the performance of periodate (PI) on sulfadiazine (SDZ) degradation was evaluated using coagulation solid waste fabricated catalyst (CWBC), obtained by simple pyrolysis. SDZ effectively underwent 98.94% remove within 90 min in the CWBC/PI system. Electron transfer was the predominant mechanism due to the development of an electronic cycle among SDZ, CWBC and PI, where the O2•−, PFRs, and the reactive iodine species had minor roles. Density functional theory calculations identified that Fe and N could change the electron configuration and break the chemical inertness of carbonaceous material. As a result, electrons on the carbon matrix of CWBC are inclined to travel through the formed Fe–O covalent bond to PI. Further analysis demonstrated that SO42−, humic acid (HA), as well as anoxic conditions greatly facilitated SDZ degradation. This study provides a facile protocol for converting coagulation waste to an efficient catalyst and provides fundamental insights into the degradation mechanisms of micropollutants by activating PI.
