Mesoporous Fe-doped MgO nanoparticles were synthesized using a facile sol-gel method and utilized for photo-Fenton-like degradation of salicylic acid (SA). The MgO surface dissolution facilitated an increase in the pH under the reaction conditions that allowed the Fe-MgO catalyst to be active without detectable iron leaching. Under simulated solar radiation, SA was completely degraded with an initial rate constant of 0.048 min−1at the optimal reaction conditions of 500 ppm loading of 5% Fe-MgO, 20 mM H2O2concentration, and 50 ppm SA concentration. The catalyst was stable over 5 reaction cycles. The Fe-MgO catalyst was shown to have a surface area up to 171 m2/g and contain hematite (Fe2O3) nanoparticles with octahedrally coordinated iron catalytic centers, as inferred from diffuse reflectance UV–vis measurements. Post-reaction catalyst characterization showed that some Fe2+was present in the catalyst due to the redox cycle during the chain initiation and propagation steps of the reaction.
