Organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) have been regarded as one of the most rebarbative classes of emerging contaminants due to their persistence and toxicity. In the current study, Fe-based metal organic framework (MIL-88A) was synthesized and employed as photo-Fenton catalyst for the degradation of tris-(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP), a typical representative of OPFRs. The observations indicated that visible light could boost the reduction of ≡Feᴵᴵᴵ to ≡Feᴵᴵ in Fe–O clusters of MIL-88A during the photo-Fenton system and consequently induce the transformation of H₂O₂ to OH, which realized efficient degradation of TCPP. Due to the excellent function of MIL-88A, the effective pH application range of photo-Fenton system was extended in comparison with traditional Fenton system. The degradation efficiency of TCPP was visibly influenced in presence of humic acid (HA). MIL-88A exhibited a commendable reusability and stability after 3 times cycle. As the photo-Fenton reaction proceeded, TCPP was disintegrated to several kinds of carboxylated, dechlorinated and hydroxylated products. The observations of metabolomics endorsed that the interference of intermediate products mixture on E. coli weakened to a certain extent. In conclusion, carboxylation, dechlorination, hydroxylation and oxidation of TCPP were likewise effective for its detoxification, revealing that heterogeneous photo-Fenton system driven by Fe-based metal organic framework will be an attractive and safe treatment technique for OPFRs control.
