Therefore, the selective degradation of formaldehyde is of great significance in achieving high-efficiency and low-cost formaldehyde wastewater treatment. This study constructed a heterogeneous Fe-ZSM-5\/H2O2 Fenton system f or the selective degradation of target compounds. By immobilizing Fe3+ onto the surface of a ZSM-5 molecular sieve, Fe-ZSM-5 was prepared successfully. XRD, BET and FT-IR spectral studies showed that Fe-ZSM-5 was mainly composed of micropores. The influences of different variables on formaldehyde-selective heterogeneous Fenton degradation performance were studied. The 93.7% formaldehyde degradation and 98.2% selectivity of formaldehyde compared with glucose were demonstrated in the optimized Fenton system after 360 min. Notably, the resultant selective Fenton oxidation system had a wide range of pH suitability, from 3.0 to 10.0. Also, the Fe-ZSM-5 was used in five consecutive cycles without a significant drop in formaldehyde degradation efficiency. The use of reactive oxygen species scavengers indicated that the hydroxyl radical was the primary active species responsible for degrading formaldehyde. Furthermore, great degradation performance was acquired with high concentrations of formaldehyde for this system, and the degradation efficiency was more than 95.0%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules29122911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]],"date-time":"2024-06-19T08:06:06Z","timestamp":1718784366000},"page":"2911","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Selective Heterogeneous Fenton Degradation of Formaldehyde Using the Fe-ZSM-5 Catalyst"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3766-1411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peiguo","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaxin","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donghui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ziqiao","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liping","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenjing","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Ru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zongbiao","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107138","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jece.2022.107138","article-title":"Study on preparation of cationic flocculants by grafting binary monomer on cellulose substrate by \u03b3-ray co-irradiation","volume":"10","author":"Zhou","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
