The new and low-cost iron embedded carbon composites (Fe-BC-700) were prepared by a facile pyrolysis technology. The as-prepared material exhibited an extremely high removal efficiency of biphenol A in the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Besides the sulfate radicals (SO4−) from the PMS activati...
