Popis: | Water pollution by organic dyes has been considered by water and wastewater engineers. Several methods have been suggested in literature especially advanced oxidation processes. Peroxydisulfate (PDS)-based processes are a powerful technique for the degradation of organic pollutants. Micro-zero valent iron (mZVI)/aeration is also a simple method for the generation of Fenton reagent. In this study, PDS/mZVI/aeration was used for the first time to degrade Acid Blue 9 (AB9). Operating parameters, various anions, iron release and reaction kinetic were comprehensively investigated. A rapid degradation of AB9 was observed after only 10 min under conditions of PDS = 1.5 mM and mZVI = 0.5 g/L. Pseudo-first order kinetic model was fitted for AB9 degradation with the rate constant of 0.2039 min−1. In contrast with mZVI, zero valent aluminum was ineffective to activate PDS. Scavenging tests demonstrated that sulfate radical (SO4 -) was dominated for the degradation of AB9. Carbonate and nitrite anions almost completely suppressed AB9 degradation. The negative effect of anions on the process was based on this order CO32− > NO2− > I− > H2PO4− > Br− > Cl− > NO3− ≥ SO42−. Carboxylic acids generated arise from AB9 degradation were monitored. The results showed that further oxidation led to the generation of the small molecules of carboxylic acids. Around 60% of organic carbon of AB9 was mineralized during 120 min reaction. 7.0% of mZVI was released in the solution. FESEM, EDS, and XRD analyses showed that mZVI was oxidized to Fe2O3. Finally, PDS/mZVI/aeration showed a simple and efficient process for degradation of organic dye. |
