双氯芬酸钠(diclofenac sodium,DCF)是一种常用的消炎止痛药,已在地下水、地表水和饮用水中被广泛检出,成为一种新型微量污染物,具有潜在危害,基于此,采用预磁化零价铁/过硫酸盐(Pre-Fe~0/PS)和零价铁/过硫酸盐(Fe~0/PS)2种体系对DCF进行降解。考察了过硫酸盐(PS)投加量、零价铁投加量、初始pH对2种体系降解DCF的影响,探究了2种体系中铁离子的产生情况和pH的变化,并利用ESR技术检测了体系中生成的自由基。结果表明,与Fe~0/PS体系相比,在不同PS量(0.125～1.0 mmol·L~(-1))、 Fe~0量(0.125～1.0 mmol·L~(-1))和初始pH3.0～10.0下,Pre-Fe~0/PS体系对DCF的降解速率常数提高了2.1～6.2倍;Pre-Fe~0/PS体系中会产生更多的铁离子,且在反应过程中pH下降更快;Pre-Fe~0/PS体系比Fe~0/PS体系产生更多的SO·4-和·OH,且能在较长的时间保持较高的浓度。Pre-Fe~0/PS体系降解DCF可以适用更宽的pH范围,是DCF废水处理的有效途径。

Fluidized zero valent iron bed reactor for nitrate removal

A fluidized zero valent iron (ZVI) reactor is examined for nitrate reduction. Using the system, the pH of solution can be maintained at optimal conditions for rapid nitrate reduction. For hydraulic retention times of 15 min, the nitrate reduction efficiency increases with increasing ZVI dosage. At ZVI loadings of 33 gl-1, results indicate that the nitrate removal efficiency increases from less than 13% for systems without pH control to more than 92% for systems operated at pH of 4.0. By maintaining pH at 4.0, we are able to decrease the hydraulic retention time to 3 min and still achieve more than 87% nitrate reduction. The recovery of total nitrogen added as nitrate, ammonium, and nitrite was less than 50% for the system operated at pH4.0, and was close to 100% for a system without pH control. The possibility of nitrate and ammonium adsorption onto iron corrosion products was ruled out by studying the behavior of their adsorption onto freshly hydrous ferric oxide at variable pH. Results indicate the probable formation of nitrogen gas species during reaction in pH4.0.     

Removal of thiobencarb in aqueous solution by zero valent iron

A cost-effective method with zero valent iron (ZVI) powder was developed for the purification of thiobencarb (TB)-contaminated water. The removal treatment was performed in the batch system. A sample solution of 10 ml containing 10 microg ml(-1) of TB could be almost completely treated by 100mg of ZVI at 25 degrees C for 12h of treatment time. Since the formation of chloride ion in the aqueous solution during the treatment of TB was observed, the removal of TB with ZVI may contain two processes: reduction (degradation) and adsorption. Because the present treatment for TB is simple, easy handling and cheap, the developed technology with ZVI can contribute to the treatment of agricultural wastewaters.     

Sorption and reduction of tetrachloroethylene with zero valent iron and amphiphilic molecules

Effects of surfactants and natural organic matter (NOM) on the sorption and reduction of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) with zero valent iron (ZVI) were examined in this study. PCE reduction by ZVI depended on the ionic type of the surfactants. The removal of PCE and production of TCE with non-ionic Triton X-100 and cationic hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium (HDTMA) at one-half and two times the critical micelle concentration (CMC) were 1.2-1.8 times higher than without surfactants because of the enhanced PCE partitioning and surface concentration by the sorbed surfactants. When anionic sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDDBS) at one-half and two times CMC and NOM at 20 mg l(-1) and 50 mg l(-1) concentrations were used, the removal of PCE doubled and TCE production decreased. In the presence of SDDBS, TCE production by ZVI was lower than with HDTMA and Triton X-100 while PCE removal was higher than with the other surfactants.

Mechanisms of NOx removal from flue gas by zero valent iron

Chemical reaction between nitric oxide (NO) andzero valent iron (ZVI) was studied in a packed-bed column process with high temperatures based on ZVI strong reducing abilities. For six controlled temperatures of 523-773 K and 400 ppm of NO (typical flue gas temperature and concentration), under short empty bed contacttime ([EBCT] 0.0226-0.0679 sec), NO was completely removed for temperature of 573-773 K but not for 523 K. Break-through curves were conducted for the five working temperatures, and the results indicated that NO reductions by ZVI were varied from 2 to 26.7 mg NO/g ZVI. Higher temperature and longer EBCT achieved better NO removal efficiency. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) were conducted to analyze the crystal structure and oxidation state of the reacted ZVI. Three layers of iron species were detected by XRD: ZVI, Fe3O4, and Fe2O3. ZVI was the most prevalent species, and Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 were less from the XRD analysis. By ESCA, the oxidation state on the reacted ZVI surface was determined, and the species was identifled as Fe2O3, which is the most oxidizing species for iron. Therefore, three layers from the ZVI core to the ZVI surface can be identified: ZVI, Fe3O4, and Fe2O3. Combining the results from XRD and ESCA, the mechanisms for ZVI and NO can be proposed as two consecutive reactions from lower oxidation state (ZVI) in the core to higher oxidation state on the iron surface (Fe2O3): 3Fe + 4NO<--(high temperature)-->Fe3O4 + 2N2 (A1), 4Fe3O4 + 2NO<--(high temperature)-->6Fe2O3 + N2* (A2) Because there was only <5% ZVI used to remove NO comparing to theoretical ZVI used based on the proposed stoichiometry, it can be concluded that the heterogeneous reaction only occurred on the ZVI surface instead of on bulk of the ZVI.     

A sequential zero valent iron and aerobic biodegradation treatment system for nitrobenzene

The remediation of nitroaromatic contaminated groundwater is sometimes difficult because nitroaromatic compounds are resistant to biodegradation and, when they do transform, the degradation of the products may also be incomplete. A simple nitroaromatic compound, nitrobenzene, was chosen to assess the feasibility of an in situ multi-zone treatment system at the laboratory scale. The proposed treatment system consists of a zero valent granular iron zone to reduce nitrobenzene to aniline, followed by a passive oxygen release zone for the aerobic biodegradation of the aniline daughter product using pristine aquifer material from Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Borden, Ontario, as an initial microbial source. In laboratory batch experiments, nitrobenzene was found to reduce quickly in the presence of granular iron forming aniline, which was not further degraded but remained partially sorbed onto the granular iron surface. Aniline was found to be readily biodegraded with little metabolic lag under aerobic conditions using the pristine aquifer material. A sequential column experiment, containing a granular iron reducing zone and an aerobic biodegradation zone, successively degraded nitrobenzene and then aniline to below detection limits (0.5 microM) without any noticeable reduction in hydraulic conductivity from biofouling, or through the formation of precipitates.     

Pressurized CO2/zero valent iron system for nitrate removal

A fluidized zero valent iron (ZVI) reactor pressurized by CO(2) gas for controlling pH was employed for nitrate reduction. The proposed CO(2) pressurized system potentially has advantages of using less CO(2) gas and reaching equilibrium pH faster than CO(2)-bubbled system. However, due to weak acid nature of carbonic acid, system pH gradually increased with increasing oxidation of ZVI and reduction of nitrate. As pH increased with progress of reaction, nitrate removal rate decreased continuously. The results indicate that nitrate removal efficiency increases with increasing initial ZVI dosage but reaches plateau at ZVI doses of higher than 8.25gl(-1), and initial nitrate concentration up to 100mg l(-1) as N has minimal impact on the removal efficiency. Unlike the fluidized system with pH control by strong acid reported in our pervious study, near 100% of nitrogen recovery was observed in the current process, indicating that nitrate reduction by ZVI with different pH controlled mechanisms will have different reaction routes.

Modelling of sequential groundwater treatment with zero valent iron and granular activated carbon

Multiple contaminant mixtures in groundwater may not efficiently be treated by a single technology if contaminants possess rather different properties with respect to sorptivity, solubility, and degradation potential. An obvious choice is to use sequenced units of the generally accepted treatment materials zero valent iron (ZVI) and granular activated carbon (GAC). However, as the results of this modelling study suggest, the required dimensions of both reactor units may strongly differ from those expected on the grounds of a contaminant-specific design. This is revealed by performing an analysis for a broad spectrum of design alternatives through numerical experiments for selected patterns of contaminant mixtures consisting of monochlorobenzene, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene (TCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cis-DCE), and vinyl chloride (VC). It is shown that efficient treatment can be achieved only if competitive sorption effects in the GAC unit as well as the formation of intermediate products in the ZVI unit are carefully taken into account. Cost-optimal designs turned out to vary extremely depending on the prevailing conditions concerning contaminant concentrations, branching ratios, and unit costs of both reactor materials. Where VC is the critical contaminant, due to high initial concentration or extensive production as an intermediate, two options are cost-effective: an oversized ZVI unit with an oversized GAC unit or a pure GAC reactor.     

零价铁复合有机膨润土处理染料废水的研究

针对目前印染废水处理现状及膨润土在水处理中回收困难等问题，提出将零价铁复合到有机膨润土中制成零价铁复合有机膨润土(ZVI-OB)，以达到高效吸附并降解污染物的目的。以染料废水(Orange II) 作为研究对象，考察了废水中染料的初始浓度、pH以及吸附时间对ZVI-OB去除染料效率的影响，并研究了吸附后降解过程中时间和pH对污染物降解的影响以及降解前后膨润土层结构的变化。研究结果表明，ZVI-OB相对于CTMAB改性的有机膨润土而言，其吸附量有所降低，但ZVI-OB在吸附污染物之后能有效降解有机物。ZVI-OB在饱和吸附Orange II后经催化氧化，总有机碳含量降低为原来的19%，可以重复利用。
