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

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

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 pseudofirst- 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 UVALED/ 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.
