Diclofenac degradation based on shape-controlled cuprous oxide nanoparticles prepared by using ionic liquid

Persulfate oxidation technology is widely used in wastewater treatment, but there are still many disadvantages, such as high energy consumption, side reaction and narrow pH applicability. Copper oxides can activate persulfate steadily with higher efficiency. In this paper, a novel preparation method...
