A novel dipicolinic acid-functionalized hematite (DPA-hematite) with high surface area was prepared by co-precipitation of a Fe(III)–DPA complex. It was used as a catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for bisphenol A (BPA) detoxification. The XRD, FESEM, TEM and FTIR characterization indicate...
