Popis: Phenol has been introduced as a priority pollutant by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are one of the most efficient methods for removal of non-degradable organic pollutants in aqueous solutions. The removal efficiencies of phenol and COD under optimal conditions pH = 3, phenol concentration = 5 mg/L, CaO2 concentration = 0.025 mg/L, temperature 25 °C, 1 g/min ozonation rate and contact time = 90 min in synthetic and real samples (Zarand coal washing factory in Kerman) were obtained 97.8%, 87% and 80%, 65.4%, respectively. The kinetics of phenol decomposition follows from the pseudo-first-order equation. Thermodynamic studies show that phenol decomposition with ozonation and calcium peroxide is an endothermic process. The use of ozonation process with calcium peroxide is an efficient method and can be recommended as a coefficient method for the removal of phenol.
