Simultaneous removal of Cd (II) and benzo(a)pyrene complex pollution in a Fe1-xS@kaolinite/peroxymonosulfate system

Key Points

• Effective removal of cadmium (Cd II) and benzo(a)pyrene achieved in a complex pollution setting.
• The system demonstrated a maximum removal efficiency of 95% within 2 hours of treatment.
• Assessment using the Fe1-xS@kaolinite/peroxymonosulfate combination highlights its effectiveness for simultaneous degradation.
• This highlights the potential for improving environmental cleanup strategies, though real-world application is still needed.
