Degradation Effect and Mechanism of Dinitrotoluene Wastewater by Magnetic Nano-Fe3O4/H2O2 Fenton-like

The characteristics and influencing factors for dinitrotoluene degradation by nano-Fe₃O₄-H₂O₂ were studied, and the nano-scale Fe₃O₄ catalyst was prepared by the coprecipitation method, with dinitrotoluene wastewater as the degradation object. The results showed that the catalytic reaction system within the pH value range of 1 to 9 could effectively degrade dinitrotoluene, and the optimal pH value was 3; with the increase of catalyst dosage, the degradation efficiency and the catalytic reaction rate of dinitrotoluene grew as well. The optimal catalyst dosage was 1.0 g/L when the H₂O₂ dosage was within the range of 0 to 0.8 mL/L; the degradation efficiency and reaction rate grew with the increase of H₂O₂ dosage. With further increase of H₂O₂ dosage, degradation efficiency and reaction rate decreased; under the best conditions with the H₂O₂ dosage of 0.8 mL/L, the catalyst concentration of 1 g/L and the pH value of 3 at room temperature (25 °C), the degradation rate of the 100-mg/L dinitrotoluene in 120 min reached 97.6%. Through the use of the probe compounds n-butyl alcohol and benzoquinone, it was proved that the oxidation activity species in the nano-Fe₃O₄-H₂O₂ catalytic system were mainly hydroxyl radical (?OH) and superoxide radicals (HO2 ?), based on which, the reaction mechanism was hypothesized.     

Oxidation of Parachloronitrobenzene in Dilute Aqueous Solution by O3 + UV and H2O2 + UV : A Comparative Study

This laboratory study was designed to investigate the degradation of 4-chloronitrobenzene ([CNB] = 2.4 × 10^?6 mol L^?1; pH = 7.5) by H₂O₂/UV and by O₃/UV oxidation processes which involve the generation of very reactive and oxidizing hydroxyl free radicals. The effects of the oxidant doses (H₂O₂ or aqueous O₃), liquid flow rate (or the contact time), and bicarbonate ions acting as OH· radical scavengers on the CNB removal rates were studied. For a constant oxidant dose, the results show that the O₃/UV system appears to be more efficient than the H₂O₂/UV system to remove CNB because of the greatest rate of OH· generation by ozone photodecomposition compared to H₂O₂ photolysis. However, for a given amount of oxidant decomposed, the H₂O₂/UV oxidant system was found to be more efficient than O₃/UV. Moreover, high levels of bicarbonate ions in solution (4 × 10^?3 mol L^?1) significantly decrease the efficiency of CNB removal by H₂O₂/UV and by O₃/UV oxidation processes.     

PREPARATION AND THERMAL EXPANSION OF FE2-xYxW3O12 POWDER BY CITRATE SOL-GEL PROCESS

Fe_2-xY_xW₃O₁₂ powder has been synthesized by the citrate sol-gel process. A model was proposed to calculate the concentration of species in a citric solution. The calculated results could provide valuable information for determining the optimal molar ratio of cation to citric acid and pH value of solution for Fe_2-xY_xW₃O₁₂ preparation. The predicted parameters derived from this model are in good agreement with the experimental results. The prepared gel and the Fe_2-xY_xW₃O₁₂ powder were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis-thermogravimetry (DTA-TG). The results show that it is very difficult to obtain pure Fe₂W₃O₁₂ powder by the citrate sol-gel process in the temperature range 500°–1000°C, however, Y₂W₃O₁₂ can easily be prepared even at 500°C. Y₂W₃O₁₂ annealed at 1000°C for 10 h is favorable for absorbing moisture in air to form Y₂W₃O₁₂·3.3H₂O. The thermal expansion coefficients of Y₂W₃O₁₂·3.3H₂O are: α_a = ? 8.01 × 10^?6°C^?1, α_b = ? 2.51 × 10^?7°C^?1, and α_c = ? 5.55 × 10^?6°C^?1 in 473–1173 K.     

ZnO/Cr2O3 catalyst for reverse-water-gas-shift reaction of CAMERE process

The stability and the activity of Fe₂O₃/Cr₂O₃ and ZnO/Cr₂O₃ catalysts were examined for a reverse-watergas-shift reaction (RWReaction). The initial activities of those catalysts were quite high so that the conversion reached close to equilibrium. The activity of Fe₂O₃/Cr₂O₃ catalyst decreased from 33.5 to 29.8% during the RWReaction for 75 h at 873 K with GHSV (ml/gcat · h) of 100,000. Moreover, the coke formation on the Fe₂O₃/Cr₂O₃ catalyst caused clogging in the RWReactor of the CAMERE process. On the other hand, the ZnO/Cr₂O₃ catalyst showed no coke formation and no deactivation for the RWReaction at 873 K with GHSV (ml/gcat · h) of 150,000. The ZnO/Cr₂O₃ was a good catalyst for the RWReaction of the CAMERE process.     

Comparison of a new immobilized Fe3+ catalyst with homogeneous Fe3+–H2O2 system for degradation of 2,4‐dinitrophenol

BACKGROUND: Heterogeneous Fenton catalysts have been used to treat various organic pollutants in an aqueous environment. The present study has investigated the degradation of 2,4‐dinitrophenol (2,4‐DNP), a priority pollutant generated by such industries as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, pigments and dyes. Degradation of 2,4‐DNP (100 mg L^?1) was studied using Fe³⁺ loaded on Al₂O₃ as a heterogeneous catalyst in the presence of H₂O₂, and the efficiency compared with the homogeneous Fe³⁺/H₂O₂ based Fenton‐like process. The effect of different parameters for both processes, such as catalyst loading, H₂O₂ concentration, initial solution pH, initial substrate concentration and temperature were investigated and the optimum operating conditions determined. RESULTS: Under optimal operating conditions of the homogeneous system ([Fe³⁺] 125 mg L^?1; [H₂O₂] 250 mg L^?1; pH 3; room temperature), 92.5% degradation was achieved in 35 min for an initial 2,4‐DNP concentration of 100 mg L^?1. In the case of immobilized Fe (Fe³⁺–Al₂O₃ catalyst), degradation improved to 98.7% under the condition 10 wt% [Fe³⁺–Al₂O₃] 1 g L^?1 catalyst loading; [H₂O₂] 250 mg L^?1; pH 3; at room temperature for the same duration. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the stability and reusability of the prepared heterogeneous catalyst. This process is a viable technique for treatment of aqueous solutions containing contaminants. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

Homogeneous precipitation synthesis and thermoelectric properties of Ca2Co2O5 ceramics

Abstract

Homogeneous precipitation method was applied to synthesise Ca₂Co₂O₅ powders using calcium nitrate, cobalt nitrate and urea as raw materials. Uniform plate-like Ca₂Co₂O₅ powders with an average grain size of 1 μm can be obtained by calcining the precursor for 8 h at 1073 K in the air. The Ca₂Co₂O₅ ceramics were gained after sintering for 4 h at 1083 K using uniaxial pressure moulding and then sintering technique. The thermoelectric properties of ceramic samples were measured from 303 to 973 K, and the result shows that the electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity and figure of merit of the sample are 2236·85 S m^?1, 175·95 μV K^?1, 1·01 W m^?1 K^?1 and 0·69 at 973 K respectively.     

Influence of Co3O4, Fe2O3 and SiC on microstructure and properties of glass foam from waste cathode ray tube display panel (CRT)

Abstract

In the present study, the effect of temperature and oxidising agents such as Fe₂O₃ and Co₃O₄ on physical and mechanical properties of glass foam is investigated. The glass foam is made of panel glass from dismantled cathode ray tubes and SiC as a foaming agent. In the process, powdered waste glass (mean particle size below 63 μm) in addition to 4 wt-% SiC powder (mean particle size below 45 μm) are combined with Fe₂O₃ and Co₃O₄ (0·4, 0·8 and 1·2 wt-%) have been sintered at 950 and 1050°C. The glass foamed containing 1·2 wt-% Co₃O₄ has good physical properties, with porosity more than 80% and bending strength more than 1·57±0·12 MPa. However, by adding different amounts of Fe₂O₃ in comparison with samples without iron oxide, little changes in porosity and strength are obtained.     

Degradation of C.I. Acid Orange 7 by heterogeneous Fenton oxidation in combination with ultrasonic irradiation

BACKGROUND: A mesoporous alumina supported nanosized Fe₂O₃ was prepared through an original synthesis procedure and used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Fenton process degradation of the model azo dye C.I. Acid Orange 7 enhanced by ultrasound irradiation (US/Fe₂O₃‐Al₂O₃‐meso/H₂O₂ system). The effect of various operating conditions was investigated, namely hydrogen peroxide concentration, initial pH, ultrasonic power and catalyst loading. RESULTS: The results indicated that the degradation of C.I. Acid Orange 7 followed a pseudo‐first‐order kinetic model. There exists an optimal hydrogen peroxide concentration, initial pH, ultrasonic power and catalyst loading for decolorization. The aggregate size of the spent catalyst was reduced after dispersion in water by ultrasonic irradiation. A very low level of iron leaching was observed ranging from < 0.1 to 0.23 mg L^?1. The intermediate products of C.I. Acid Orange 7 degradation were identified using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). CONCLUSION: The optimal conditions for efficient C.I. Acid Orange 7 degradation were pH close to 3, hydrogen peroxide concentration 4 mmol L^?1, catalyst loading 0.3 g L^?1, and ultrasonic power 80 W. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry     

UVA-LED assisted persulfate/nZVI and hydrogen peroxide/nZVI for degrading 4-chlorophenol in aqueous solutions

Photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlrophenol (4-CP) using UVA-LED assisted persulfate and hydrogen peroxide activated by the nZVI (Nano Zero Valent Iron) in a batch photocatalytic reactor was investigated. The reaction involved a lab-scale photoreactor irradiated with UVA-LED light emitted at 390 nm. The efficiency of the reaction was evaluted in terms of 4-CP degradation and mineralization degree at different pH of solution, initial concentrations of nZVI, persulfate, hydrogen peroxide and 4-CP. In UVA-LED/H₂O₂/nZVI process, complete degradation of 4-CP (>99%) and 75% mineralization was achieved at pH of 3, hydrogen peroxide concentration of 0.75 mM, nZVI dosage of 1mM and initial 4-CP concentration of 25mg/L at the reaction time of 30 min. The optimum conditions obtained for the best 4-CP degradation rate were at an initial concentration of 25mg/l, persulfate concentration of 1.5mM, nZVI dosage of 1mM, pH of 3 and reaction time of 120min for UVA-LED/persulfate/nZVI process. It was also observed that the 4-CP degradation rate is dependent on initial 4-CP concentrations for both processes. The pseudo-first-order kinetic constant at 25mg/L initial concentration of 4-CP was found to be 1.4×10^?1 and 3.8×10^?2 in UVA-LED/H₂O₂/nZVI and UVA-LED/persulfate/nZVI processes, respectively. Briefly, the UVA-LED/H₂O₂/nZVI process enhanced the degradation rate of 4-CP by 3.67-times in comparison to UVA-LED/persulfate/nZVI process at 30min contact time, which serves as a new and feasible approach for the degradation of 4-CP as well as other organic contaminants containing wastewater.     

Catalytic ozonation process using PAC/γ-Fe2O3 to Alizarin Red S degradation from aqueous solutions: a batch study

In the catalytic ozonation process used in this study, adsorption and chemical reactions were performed at the catalyst surface. This process can increase the efficiency of plain ozonation. The main aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the catalytic ozonation process in removing Alizarin Red S dye from colored water by Fe₂O₃ coated on PAC. In this work, activated carbon powder/γ-Fe₂O₃ nano-composite was modified. The BET results showed that the surface area in PAC and PAC-γ-Fe₂O₃ nano-composite was 654 and 450?m² g^?1, respectively. In this study, the best pH for removal of ARS was found to be 9. At a higher pH, the efficiency of the process decreased gradually. According to studies, catalysts increase surface area and active sites for more ozone degradation. Also, the characterization of the catalyst will play a very important role in the COP. Also, the maximum removal efficiency was observed in catalyst dose 1.1?g l^?1. The study results showed that the highest mineralization rate in ARS degradation was related to O₃/PAC/γ-Fe₂O₃. The amount of mineralization in the SOP, O₃-PAC, and O₃/PAC/γ-Fe₂O₃ was 13, 25, and 40%, respectively. The finding of mineralization of ARS using the SOP reflected the low power of the ozonation process for the mineralization of pollutants.     

Photo-fenton and UV photo degradation of naphthalene with zero- and two-valent iron in the presence of persulfate

An initial set of 12 kinetic experiments was carried out to remove naphthalene from an aqueous effluent by photo-Fenton involving Fe⁰ and Fe²⁺ at two different concentrations of H₂O₂ (150 and 300?mg?L^?1) and three different pHs (3, 5, and 7) (2²×3¹ experiments). The rate constants (k) for the reaction of naphthalene degradation by involving Fe²⁺ as reactant were in general higher than those with Fe⁰, but the use of Fe²⁺ increased the concentration of naphthalene at equilibrium (C_e) when compared with the same response obtained with Fe⁰ at analogous conditions. A second set of twelve kinetic experiments of photo-Fenton degradation was also performed with persulfate as additive at the conditions already reported, but at a constant concentration of H₂O₂ of 150?mg?L^?1 (2¹×3¹ experiments with NaCl +2¹×3¹ experiments without NaCl). In almost all the runs in which only the source of iron was varied, k from the kinetic data involving Fe²⁺ was higher than that involving Fe⁰, but no difference was observed in terms of C_e that was always zero. The addition of persulfate to treat the effluent either containing or not containing salt enhanced the chemical kinetics, and shifted the equilibrium toward the full removal of naphthalene. A final set of nine experiments of UV photo degradation of naphthalene by involving persulfate without iron, with Fe⁰ and Fe²⁺ in the pH range from 3 to 7 (3² experiments) mainly showed that the use of H₂O₂ may be avoided to remove rapidly and completely naphthalene from wastewater.     

Synthesis of magnetic Pb/Fe3O4/SiO2 and its catalytic activity for propylene carbonate synthesis via urea and 1,2-propylene glycol

To facilitate the recovery of Pb/SiO₂ catalyst, magnetic Pb/Fe₃O₄/SiO₂ samples were prepared separately by emulsification, sol-gel and incipient impregnation methods. The catalyst samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and N₂ adsorption-desorption, and their catalytic activity was investigated in the reaction for synthesizing propylene carbonate from urea and 1,2-propylene glycol. When the gelatin was applied in the preparation of Fe₃O₄ at 60°C and the pH value was controlled at 4 in the preparation of Fe₃O₄/SiO₂, the Pb/Fe₃O₄/SiO₂ sample shows good catalytic activity and magnetism. Under the reaction conditions of a reaction temperature of 180°C, reaction time of 2 h, catalyst percentage of 1.7 wt-% and a molar ratio of urea to PG of 1:4, the yield of propylene carbonate attained was 87.7%.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of 4-vinylcyclohexene into styrene over ZrO2 catalyst promoted with Fe2O3 and CaO

The oxidative dehydrogenation of 4-vinylcyclohexene (VCH) into styrene was carried out in the presence of oxygen over a ZrO₂ catalyst promoted with Fe₂O₃ and CaO. Intrinsically, ZrO₂ showed high dehydrogenation activity, which resulted in 80% styrene selectivity with 45% conversion at 425 °C and LHSV 3 h⁻¹. When the ZrO₂ was further promoted with calcium and iron, CaO/Fe₂O₃/ZrO₂, the highest styrene selectivity of 88.9% was obtained as well as the lowest deactivation. The deactivation of catalyst was prohibited properly through the introduction of oxygen in the reactant together with the modification of Fe₂O₃/ZrO₂ with CaO. The CaO/Fe₂O₃/ZrO₂ showed constant catalytic activity and selectivity for more than 50 h without deactivation. The selectivity of styrene was strongly influenced by the mole ratio of O₂/VCH and 95% selectivity with 80% conversion was obtained at O₂/VCH mole ratio of 6 over Fe₂O₃/ZrO₂. It is thought that the oxidative dehydrogenation proceeds through the dehydrogenation (DH) of ring-hydrocarbon of VCH followed by selective combustion of hydrogen (SHC) and the high selectivity of styrene was achieved by the bi-functional role of ZrO₂ for DH and SHC reactions. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Adsorption kinetics data were modeled by film and pore diffusion model. The experimental isotherm was described by the Langmuir model. MgAl₂O₄ nanopowder presented a great removal efficiency of leather dye by adsorption process, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 833 mg of dye per gram of adsorbent.     

Oxidation-precipitation of magnetic Fe3O4/AC nanocomposite as a heterogeneous catalyst for electro-Fenton treatment

Abstract

The oxidation-precipitation method was used for the synthesis of Fe₃O₄/AC. The characterization of the catalyst was accomplished by XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, BET, and VSM techniques. The obtained results indicated that magnetite nanoparticles were successfully prepared with cubic spinel structures and uniform distribution on the surface of activated carbon by the oxidation-precipitation method. The effect of operating parameters was evaluated to determine the optimum operating condition for the electro-Fenton (EF) removal of catechol as a phenolic pollutant model. At the optimum operating conditions (pH 3, Fe₃O₄/AC: 0.9?g L^?1, Catechol: 8.0?×?10^?4?mol L^?1 at I: 120?mA), the catechol and COD removal reached 98.2 and 76.1% in 120?min, respectively. Only 2.1% of ferrous and 3.44% of ferric ions were leached into the solution. Regarding the results from utilization of oxidant scavengers (isopropanol and BQ), it can be inferred that hydroxyl radical (responsible for 57% catechol removal) and superoxide anion radical (responsible for 40% catechol removal) is the main oxidants in acidic (pH 3) and basic (pH 10) conditions, respectively. The kinetics of EF removal of catechol was studied and the rate constant for the pseudo-first-order kinetic model was found to be 3.37?×?10^?2min^?1 (R² = 0.9924). The GC-MS analysis was carried out to detect the intermediate products and a possible degradation mechanism was proposed. The reusability of Fe₃O₄/AC was examined for six cycles. It can be concluded that Fe₃O₄/AC is an applicable ultimate catalyst for EF removal of organic pollutants.     

Heterogeneous Catalytic Ozonation of Refinery Wastewater over Alumina-Supported Mn and Cu Oxides Catalyst

An economical method was proposed to develop an efficient alumina-supported manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) oxides (Mn-Cu-O/Al₂O₃) catalyst with a high surface area, 184.06 cm² g^?1. The catalyst was utilized for degradation refinery wastewater by heterogeneous catalytic ozonation. The effects of various operating variables including pH, ozone and catalyst dosages, and temperature were systematically investigated in detail to obtain the optimized conditions for accelerated degradation of refinery wastewater. The optimum values were as follows: ozone dose 50.0 mg L^?1, catalyst dose 3.0 g L^?1, initial pH = 6.8, T = 17 °C. Refinery wastewater samples were analyzed by chemical oxygen demand (COD) and the results indicated that kinetics of COD followed a pseudo–first-order degradation. Moreover, hydroxyl radical mechanism rather than absorption was proposed, indicating that the surface hydroxyl groups were the active sites that played a significant role in catalytic ozonation.     

Compatibility and conductivity of La2Ni1−xFexO4+δ and LaNi0·6Fe0·4O3−δ with GDC electrolyte

The compatibilities and conductivities of K₂NiF₄ typed La₂Ni_0·9Fe_0·1O_4+δ (L₂NF91) and LaNi_0·6Fe_0·4O_3?δ (LNF64) perovskites, promising cathode materials for solid oxide fuel cell, with Gd_0·1Ce_0·9O_1·95 (GDC) electrolyte were investigated. L₂NF91 and LNF64 were synthesised using citrate and modified citrate methods with the calcination temperature of 1000°C for 5 h. The single phased oxides with the average particle sizes of L₂NF91 and LNF64 ～0·2 μm were obtained. The thermal expansion coefficients of L₂NF91 and LNF64 were 12·7×10^?6 and 13·2×10^?6 K^?1 respectively. The mixtures of cathode materials and the electrolytes were heated between 800 and 1200°C to observe the formation of secondary phases at the operation temperatures of solid oxide fuel cell. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray results indicated that L₂NF91 and LNF64 had good chemical compatibility with GDC from room temperature up to 900°C. Both L₂NF91 and LNF64 showed higher conductivities when in contact with GDC electrolyte than with Zr_0·92Y_0·08O_1·96 electrolyte.     

Removal of ampicillin sodium in solution using activated carbon adsorption integrated with H2O2 oxidation

BACKGROUND: The removal of antibiotic ampicillin sodium using H₂O₂ and modified granular activated carbon (GAC) is discussed. Two types of modified activated carbons were used in experiment to catalyze ·OH production from H₂O₂. One was modified with base (NaOH; called B‐GAC), the other was modified with Fe(NO₃)₃ (Fe‐GAC) and the nominal Fe metal loading was 5 wt%. In the experiment, pH, contact time, dosage of activated carbon and H₂O₂ and initial concentration of ampicillin sodium were investigated to determine their influence on the removal efficiency. The stability of Fe‐GAC was also evaluated. RESULTS: With an initial ampicillin sodium concentration of 200 mg L^?1, 85.2% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 76.4% of total organic carbon (TOC) can be removed with 8.0 g L^?1 of B‐GAC and 80 mg L^?1 of H₂O₂ (at pH 5.0). For the Fe‐GAC/H₂O₂ process, with 5.0 g L^?1 of activated carbon and 80 mg L^?1 of H₂O₂, COD and TOC removal can be elevated to 91.2% and 79.5% (at pH 3.0), respectively. CONCLUSION: The integration of activated carbon and H₂O₂ treatment was more effective for the removal of ampicillin from aqueous solution than using activated carbon alone. In the process, adsorption played a dominant role and the addition of a small amount of H₂O₂ accelerated the reaction rate and improved the removal efficiency. pH also greatly affected removal efficiency.

Synthesis and application of nanocomposite Fe3O4@SiO2@CTAB–SiO2 as a novel adsorbent for removal of cyclophosphamide from water samples

ABSTRACT

We present a way of synthesizing nanocomposite Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@CTAB–SiO₂ by employing simple sol–gel technique with selective etching for extreme selectivity adsorption of cyclophosphamide (CP). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM); scanning electron microscopy (SEM); X-ray diffraction (XRD); Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR); vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM); pH_PZC; and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) techniques were used for nanocomposite characterization. These nanoparticles have an S_BET of 157.8 m² g^?1 and a high saturation magnetization of 67.5 emu g^?1. First, the adsorption system was examined as a function of contact time under various initial CP contents, ionic strength, initial solution pH, adsorbent dose and temperature in batch test. The optimum dose, pH and contact time were obtained to be 0.01 g, 7.0 and 30 min, respectively. Ultimately, experimental isotherm and kinetics data of adsorption of CP onto nanocomposite Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@CTAB–SiO₂ were fitted to classical models. Additionally, it was found that the maximum adsorption process capacity of CP on adsorbent was 342.8 mg g^?1.     

Waterborne polyurethane-silanized CoFe2O4-acrylate magnetic pressure-sensitive adhesive

A novel waterborne polyurethane-silanized CoFe₂O-acrylate magnetic pressure-sensitive adhesive was prepared. With the increase of PU content, gel content, swelling capability, and SAFT increased, and fracture energy increased first, then decreased. The T-peeling strength increased from 8.93 to 19.07 N · m^?1, tack force increased from No.3 to No.10, while shear resistance increased from 35 to 72 h, and then they decreased. Two empirical models: W_A = 90.46 + 125.04[PU]-319.96[PU]² and T = 9.09 + 96.07[PU]-235.11[PU]², were obtained. With the increase of CoFe₂O₄ content, the saturation magnetization increased from 5.5 to 14.2 emu · g^?1, and remanence increased from 1.7 to 3.7 emu · g^?1, while coercivity decreased from 875 to 763 Oe.
