This work investigates the Fenton oxidation of phenol in a semicontinuous reactor where the overall amount of H(2)O(2) is distributed as a continuous feed upon the reaction time. The experiments were carried out at 25 degrees C and atmospheric pressure, with 100mg/L initial phenol concentration and iron dosages from 1 to 100 mg/L. H(2)O(2) aqueous solution was continuously fed during 4h reaction time up to an overall dose varying within the range of 500-5000 mg/L. The results in terms of evolution of phenol, H(2)O(2) and intermediates, as well as TOC abatement were compared with those obtained in conventional batch operation. It was found that the oxidation rates for phenol and intermediates were lower when adding the H(2)O(2) continuously. However, a higher abatement of TOC was reached at the end of the 4-h reaction time, in spite of a similar overall H(2)O(2) consumption. This is the result of a more efficient OH generation throughout the semicontinuous process, favouring the reaction with the organic species and reducing the occurrence of competitive scavenging reactions involving Fe(2+), H(2)O(2) and OH. Two kinetic models were proposed, one for describing the evolution of phenol, aromatics and H(2)O(2) and the other for TOC. The influence of the operating conditions on the kinetic constants was also studied, looking for the optimal conditions in terms of both, environmental and economic points of view.

In this study the degradation of the worldwide Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) ibuprofen (IBP) by photo-Fenton reaction by use of solar artificial irradiation was carried out. Non-photocatalytic experiments (complex formation, photolysis and UV/Vis-H(2)O(2) oxidation) were executed to evaluate the isolated effects and additional differentiated degradation pathways of IBP. The solar photolysis cleavage of H(2)O(2) generates hydroxylated-IBP byproducts without mineralization. Fenton reaction, however promotes hydroxylation with a 10% contamination in form of a mineralization. In contrast photo-Fenton in addition promotes the decarboxylation of IBP and its total depletion is observed. In absence of H(2)O(2) a decrease of IBP was observed in the Fe(II)/UV-Vis process due to the complex formation between iron and the IBP-carboxylic moiety. The degradation pathway can be described as an interconnected and successive principal decarboxylation and hydroxylation steps. TOC depletion of 40% was observed in photo-Fenton degradation. The iron-IBP binding was the key-point of the decarboxylation pathway. Both decarboxylation and hydroxylation mechanisms, as individual or parallel process are responsible for IBP removal in Fenton and photo-Fenton systems. An increase in the biodegradability of the final effluent after photo-Fenton treatment was observed. Final BOD(5) of 25 mg L(-1) was reached in contrast to the initial BOD(5) shown by the untreated IBP solution (BOD(5)<1 mg L(-1)). The increase in the biodegradability of the photo-Fenton degradation byproducts opens the possibility for a complete remediation with a final post-biological treatment.

Iron oxides coated on Fe(0) core-shell nanospheres (nIOCI) were synthesized through the reduction of ferrous sulfate aqueous solution by sodium borohydride at ambient atmosphere. The catalyst was highly effective for the degradation of humic acid (HA) in the presence of H(2)O(2) and UVA at neutral pH. Under deoxygenated conditions in the dark, the generation of hydroxyl radicals in aqueous nIOCI dispersion verified its galvanic cell-like performance, which enhanced the interfacial electron transfer and led to its higher reactivity. By the total organic carbon, the absorbance of UV(254), FTIR, the molecular weight distribution and the chemical fractional character analysis, the degradation process of HA was shown to proceed by the disappearance of aromaticity, the increase of hydrophilic fraction and aromatic ring openings into CO(2) and small organic acid. The treated HA showed much lower reactivity toward chlorine and the disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation potential was also greatly reduced. Moreover, it was found that the DBP formation potential more depended on the structure of the intermediates of HA degradation than TOC removal.

Effects and laws of electrochemical oxidation of dual electrodes with iron promoting for the treatment of wastewater from acrylonitrile production were investigated using Ti/SnO2 + Fe as combined anodes and graphite as cathode. Compared with traditional electrochemical oxidation, the higher removal of organic pollutants and current efficiency were obtained via oxidation of dual electrodes. Through the process COD removal efficiency and current efficiency were enhanced by 11.0%-13.8% and 8.0%-15.0% respectively, referred to the results from traditional electrochemical oxidation under conditions of the same voltage and no hydrogen peroxide added. With 2 200 mg x L(-1) hydrogen peroxide and voltage of 4.0 V, COD and TOC removal efficiencies increased to 74.6% and 67.9% respectively, and with the increase of hydrogen peroxide, both were enhanced obviously. During the initial reaction period, the higher hydrogen peroxide concentration and the lower Fe2+ concentration were detected, and with reaction time increased, hydrogen peroxide concentration decreased rapidly and Fe2+ concentration increased gradually. The voltage value had great effect on the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and Fe2+, and the current efficiency was affected obviously by the time of current passed through iron anode under certain initial dosage of hydrogen peroxide. The better color removal was also obtained from electrochemical oxidation of dual electrodes. The electrochemical oxidation of dual electrodes with iron promoting presents a new alternative for the treatment of organic wastewater.

The effect of water regime on the spatial distribution of total iron and the seasonal variation of dissolved iron in a typical annular wetland of Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China, was analyzed through in situ sampling of soils and soil solutions. The results showed that the average level of total iron of the wetland soil (0-60 cm) was (2.54 +/- 0.73) x 10(4) mg x kg(-1), which decreased gradually from the Calamagrostis angustifolia community in the edge of the annular wetland [(2.91 +/- 0.51) x 10(4) mg x kg(-1)], to the C. meyeriana community [(2.60 +/- 0.35) x 10(4) mg x kg(-1)], the C. lasiocarpa community [(2.48 +/- 0.31) x 10(4) mg x kg(-1)], and the of C. pseudocuraica community [(2.17 +/- 0.31) x 10(4) mg x kg(-1)] in the centre of the annular wetland. The iron solubility of perennial flooding soil was higher than seasonal flooding soil. The gross dissolved iron increased from soil thawing in the late spring [(0.35 +/- 0.086) mg x L(-1)] to freezing in the late autumn [(12.67 +/- 2.92) mg x L(-1)], because the soil iron was activated by continuous submergence. The reduced degree as shown by Fe3+/Fe2+ increased with the increment of water depth or flooding duration. Significant and extremely significant correlations were observed between dissolved Fe3+ or Fe2+ and pH, TOC, TN and PO4(3-), which suggested that the distribution of iron was influenced by the soil physical and chemical properties, and coupled with the transfer and transformation of C, N, and P elements.

The oxidative degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) with hydrogen peroxide activated by iron(II) tetra-(5,6-dichloro-1,4-dithiin)-porphyrazine (abbreviated as FePz(dtnCl(2))(4)) was studied by means of UV-Vis spectra, GC-MS and TOC analysis, in which the effects of pH, light, concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the degraded products of the RhB were investigated. The results indicate that FePz(dtnCl(2))(4) was found to exhibit high catalytic activity to activate hydrogen peroxide for the oxidative degradation of RhB and good stability over a broad pH range under visible light irradiation (lambda>420 nm). The conversions of RhB in 80 min were 99%, 85%, 52% and the TOC removals in 240 min were 91%, 64%, 18% when the initial solutions pHs were 2, 7, 11, respectively. HO(.) radicals were testified to generate in the biomimetic catalytic system both at pH 2 and 7 by means of spin-trapping electron spin resonance. However, control experiment with scavenging of HO() radicals displayed the quite different results at pH 2 and 7. Based on experiment results together with theoretic deduction, a mechanism for RhB oxidation involving two kinds of reactive oxidizing species was proposed, the homolytic cleavage generating the HO(.) radicals and the heterolytic cleavage generating the Pz(.)(+)Fe(IV)=O radicals.

A microwave assisted zero-valent iron oxidation process was studied in order to investigate the synergetic effects of MW irradiation on Fe/EDTA system (Fe/EDTA/MW) treated 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) from aqueous solution. The results indicated that the thermal effect of microwave improved the removal effect of 4-NP and TOC through raising the temperature of the system, as well as the non-thermal effect generated by the interaction between the microwave and the Fe resulting in an increase in the hydrophobic character of Fe surface. During the degradation of 4-NP in Fe/EDTA/MW system, the optimum value for MW power, Fe, EDTA dosage was 400 W, 2 g and 0.4 mM, respectively. The possible pathway for degrading the 4-NP was proposed based on GC/MS and HPLC analysis of the degradation intermediates. The concentration change course of the main bio-refractory by-products, the aminophenol formed in the degradation of 4-NP suggested a more efficient degradation and mineralization in Fe/EDTA/MW system. Finally, BOD(5)/COD(Cr) of the solution increased from 0.237 to 0.635 after reaction for 18 min, indicating that the biodegradability of wastewater was greatly improved by Fe/EDTA/MW system and would benefit to further treatment by biochemical methods.

Continuous Catalytic Wet Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidation (CWHPO) for the treatment of a petrochemical industry wastewater has been studied on a pilot plant scale process. The installation, based on a catalytic fixed bed reactor (FBR) coupled with a stirred tank reactor (STR), shows an interesting alternative for the intensification of a continuous CWHPO treatment. Agglomerated SBA-15 silica-supported iron oxide (Fe(2)O(3)/SBA-15) was used as Fenton-like catalyst. Several variables such as the temperature and hydrogen peroxide concentration, as well as the capacity of the pilot plant for the treatment of inlet polluted streams with different dilution degrees were studied. Remarkable results in terms of TOC reduction and increased biodegradability were achieved using 160 degrees C and moderate hydrogen peroxide initial concentration. Additionally, a good stability of the catalyst was evidenced for 8 hours of treatment with low iron leaching (less than 1 mg/L) under the best operating conditions.

An experimental parametric study was carried out to investigate the effects of [H(2)O(2)], [Fe(3 +)] and [H(2)O(2)]/[Fe(3 +)] ratio on the photo-Fenton degradation of a azo dye Basic Blue 41 (BB41) in aqueous solution. This method consists of coupling between Fenton's reagent and UV irradiation in order to catalyze the in situ generation of hydroxyl radicals, a powerful oxidizing agent which leads to degradation of organic pollutants until total mineralization. The kinetics study of the reaction between BB41 and hydroxyl radicals showed that the degradation of BB41 follows the first-order kinetics. It was found that the concentration of H(2)O(2) and ferric iron as well as their ratio [H(2)O(2)]/[Fe(3 +)] are key factors governing the removal of BB41 in aqueous medium and that the optimal ratio [H(2)O(2)]/[Fe(3 +)] is equal to 10 for 0.2 mM Fe(3 +) concentration. The initial BB41 concentration and the [H(2)O(2)]/[BB41] ratio are also found as significant operating parameters on the mineralization efficiency. The optimization of the operating conditions permitted to obtain a quasi-total mineralization of synthetic BB41 aqueous solutions. When these optimal conditions were applied to the real wastewater, 90% of TOC removal was obtained after 8 h of irradiation time.

Photo-Fenton oxidation followed by ferrite formation was applied for the degradation of a representative organic compound, phenol, and the subsequent removal of the Fe ions. At a phenol:Fe(II):H(2)O(2) molar ratio of 1:0.5:15, TOC analysis showed almost complete mineralization of 10.6mM phenol after 2h at a controlled pH of 3. Recalcitrant low molecular weight organic acid by-products particularly oxalic acid were destroyed. A ferrous-rich solution was generated so that alkalinization at pH 10.5 generated a pitch black sludge of lower volume and moisture content than a ferric hydroxide control of the same Fe concentration. The flocs exhibited a strong affinity for a magnet and its X-ray diffraction pattern showed a close similarity to a standard spinel magnetite. With proper monitoring of Fe(II) and dissolved oxygen, the reaction was successfully controlled to generate flocs with more than 30% magnetite content. When photo-Fenton was employed as a pre-treatment step so that residual oxalic acid remained, ferrite formation was not inhibited. The presence of oxalates even allowed ferrites to form in a solution containing Ca(2+) ions, which is well-known to be deterrent to the process.
