To promote sustainable wastewater treatment, this study developed an eco-friendly and low-cost ozone catalyst using natural zeolite for the advanced treatment of petrochemical wastewater. The Ca-Cu/zeolite catalyst (0.75 mol/kg Ca and 0.25 mol/kg Cu) demonstrated high efficiency in catalytic ozonation, achieving 55.52% TOC removal under optimized conditions (ozone dosage: 108.0 mg/(L·h), catalyst dosage: 406.0 g/L, reaction time: 90 min). Compared to ozonation alone, the catalyst enhanced oxidation rates by 10 times, promoting ozone decomposition into reactive oxygen species (e.g., OH and 1O2) while improving gas–liquid–solid mass transfer for efficient pollutant mineralization. Remarkably, the natural zeolite-based catalyst exhibited superior sustainability: compared to conventional alumina-based catalysts, its production cost (4000–4500 CNY/ton) is 44–53% lower, while its carbon footprint (533.7 kg CO2/ton) is reduced by 45.4%. This work presents a sustainable, low-carbon, and economically viable catalytic ozonation solution, contributing to the development of green and cost-effective industrial wastewater treatment technologies.
