Abstract
- Novel Mn-Fe-Mg- and Mn-Fe-Ce-loaded alumina (Mn-Fe-Mg/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> and Mn-Fe-Ce/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>) were developed to catalytically ozonate reverse osmosis concentrates generated from petroleum refinery wastewaters (PRW-ROC). Highly dispersed 100-300-nm deposits of composite multivalent metal oxides of Mn (Mn<superscript>2+</superscript>, Mn<superscript>3+</superscript>, and Mn<superscript>4+</superscript>), Fe (Fe<superscript>2+</superscript> and Fe<superscript>3+</superscript>) and Mg (Mg<superscript>2+</superscript>), or Ce (Ce<superscript>4+</superscript>) were achieved on Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> supports. The developed Mn-Fe-Mg/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> and Mn-Fe-Ce/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> exhibited higher catalytic activity during the ozonation of PRW-ROC than Mn-Fe/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, Mn/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, Fe/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, and Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>. Chemical oxygen demand removal by Mn-Fe-Mg/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>- or Mn- Fe-Ce/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>-catalyzed ozonation increased by 23.9% and 23.2%, respectively, in comparison with single ozonation. Mn-Fe-Mg/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> and Mn-Fe-Ce/Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> notably promoted .OH generation and .OH-mediated oxidation. This study demonstrated the potential use of composite metal oxide-loaded Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> in advanced treatment of bio-recalcitrant wastewaters.
