Abstract
- Carbonate ions in wastewater can interfere with the reactions in advanced oxidation processes. In the present study, the effects of carbonate ions on the degradation of a polyazo direct dye, the Sirius® Red F3B (SRF3B), using persulfate (PS) oxidation catalyzed by Fe 0 aggregates (PS/Fe 0 ) was investigated. Results of this study indicated that the oxidation power of the PS/Fe 0 process was inhibited in the dye solutions containing carbonates, and the efficiency of SRF3B decolorization decreased with increasing concentration of Na 2 CO 3 . A short period of ultrasound (US) irradiation can significantly enhance the destruction of dye molecules. Complete decolorization of a 25 mg/L SRF3B solution containing 1 × 10 − 3 M carbonate, 5 × 10 −3 M PS, and 1.5 g/L Fe 0 was achieved within 5 min in a PS/Fe 0 /US system augmented with 5 min of US irradiation (60 kHz, 106 W/cm 2 ). The operating cost to complete removal of the dye was estimated at 2.79 USD/m 3 . Higher PS dosage and US power further minimized the interference from carbonate ions. A two-step reaction model, including a slow surface heterogeneous and a fast homogeneous aqueous reactions was proposed for the system. The presence of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ions identified using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, suggests a direct oxidation of the dye on the surface of the Fe 0 aggregates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
