The advanced treatment of municipal secondary effluent was performed by catalytic ozonation using Fe₃O₄-CeO₂/MWCNTs as catalyst. The experimental results showed that in catalytic ozonation system, the removal efficiency of soluble COD was more than 46% after 30 min reaction, and about 36% of effluent organic matters (EfOMs) were mineralized, which was four times higher than that in single ozonation system. Moreover, proteins, humic acids, and UV₂₅₄ decreased obviously after 30 min reaction, but polysaccharides did not significantly decrease. In catalytic ozonation system, the ozone utilization increased, which is favorable for the degradation of EfOM. The organic compounds and alkalinity were the main hydroxyl radical consumers in municipal secondary effluent. The catalytic ozonation process was also effective for the degradation of two target micropollutants (sulfamethazine and carbamazepine). The catalyst could be stable after five-time reuse for catalytic ozonation of effluent.
