Herein, sulfide-modified nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) was prepared by a liquid-phase reduction route and then applied to activate persulfate (PS) for the degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP). The effects of Fe/S molar ratio, catalyst dosage, PS concentration, initial pH, and co-existing ions (Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, CO₃²⁻) on the catalytic performance of S-nZVI/PS system were investigated. Simultaneously, the fluctuations of solution pH, oxidation-reduction potential, dissolved oxygen, and Fe²⁺ concentration were also monitored during the reaction. Results shown that 98.8 % of CAP could be removed under the optimum reaction conditions (S-nZVI dosage = 0.1 g/L, PS concentration = 3 mM, initial pH = 6.86). Compared to the pristine nZVI, the sulfidation behavior could critically improve the removal efficiency of CAP, ascribe to the enhancements of hydrophobicity of nZVI, production of hydroxyl radicals, and salt resistance. Furthermore, possible degradation pathways of CAP in S-nZVI/PS system were inferred based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This study proves that the S-nZVI is a more promising catalyst for activating PS than nZVI, especially in the field of saline pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.
