Iron-copper bimetallic nanoparticles embedded within ordered mesoporous carbon as effective and stable heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the degradation of organic contaminants

•Iron-copper bimetallic nanoparticles highly dispersed in ordered mesoporous carbon.•TOC removal of eight contaminants by using CuFe-MC as catalyst was higher than Fe2+.•The synergistic effect of iron and copper remarkably enhance the catalytic activity.•CuFe-MC catalyst remained good stability and...
