Activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) has been concentrated on degrading refractory organic pollutants owing to the generation of sulfate radical ([Formula: see text]) with high standard redox potential. In this study, manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) with cryptomelane type was synthesized by a new hydrothermal method to activate PMS for the degradation of phenol and methylene blue (MB) in water. The as-prepared composites were fully characterized, and the effects of PMS dosage, OMS-2 dosage, initial pollutant concentration, pH, and chloride on the degradation of phenol were elaborately investigated. Moreover, the phenol degradation was evaluated through the variations of total organic carbon (TOC) and three-dimensional excitation emission matrix (3D-EEM), and reaction intermediates were also investigated. Both electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra and comparative experiments suggested [Formula: see text] and hydroxyl radical (HO•) took part in the phenol degradation and [Formula: see text] was more significant than HO•. The fine degradation efficiency of phenol in different water source, as well as the stability after continuous use, indicated the possible application of PMS/OMS-2 in real wastewater treatment.
