Anoxic/oxic (A/O) biochemical system, based on nitrification and denitrification reactions, was used to assess their possible biodegradation. Because of the negative effects of high salt concentration (3%), heavy metals and toxic organic matter on microorganisms’ activities, some techniques consisting of dilution, coagulation and flocculation, and ozonation pretreatments, were gradually tested to evaluate chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia-nitrogen (ammonia-N) and total nitrogen (TN) removal rates. In this process of FCC wastewater, starting with university-domesticated sludge, the ammonia-N and TN removal rates were worst. However, when using domesticated SBR’s sludge and operating with five-fold daily diluted influent (thus reducing salt concentration), the ammonia-N removal reached about 57% while the TN removal rate was less than 37% meaning an amelioration of the nitrification process. However, by reducing the dilution factors, these results were inflected after some days of operation, with ammonia-N removal decreasing and TN barely removed meaning a poor nitrification. Even by reducing heavy metals concentration with coagulation/flocculation process, the results never changed. Thereafter, by using ozonation pre-treatment to degrade the detected organic matter of di-tert-butylphenol and certain isoparaffins, COD, ammonia-N and TN removal rates reached 92%, 62% and 61%, respectively. These results showed that the activities of the microorganisms were increased, thus indicating a net denitrification and nitrification reactions improvement.展开更多

By optimizing the operational parameters of ozonation and GAC, a large quantity of micro-pollutants in drinking water was removed, which made the post-positioned nanofiltration operate more reliably. It was evident that nanofiltration shows good performance for removing residual organic matter, meantime partial minerals can also be retained by nanofiltration. Therefore the quality of drinking water can be further improved. In addition, NF membrane fouling and scaling can be solved by concentrate recycling, anti-scalant dosing and chemical rinsing effectively. By GAC adsorption for the residue chlorine and ozone self-decomposition, their oxidation on NF membrane material can be eliminated completely.展开更多

The effects of composite catalyst CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 dosage, ozone dosage, initial pH and reaction temperature on degradation were studied, and the stability of the catalyst was tested. The results showed that the composite effect of CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 prepared by combustion method was good, and the catalyst presented a laminated structure, in which 30 wt% CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 degradation effect was significant. The removal rate of resorcinol using CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 composite catalyst was higher than that using ozone or CuFe_2O_4 separately by 41.8% and 11.9%, respectively. In a reaction with resorcinol concentration of 100 mg/L, the catalyst dosage of 1.0 g/L, the ozone dosage of 2.5 mg/(L·min), at pH=9, temperature of 20 ℃, for reaction time of 40 min, the resorcinol removal rate was 88.5%. The catalyst CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 still showed good degradation effect after repeatedly using for 10 times, and the dissolution rate of metal ions was lower than that of CuFe_2O_4.展开更多

These wastewaters cause several problems when they are discharged to the environment. The use of ozone in wastewater treatment results of interest. In this work we propose to assess the discoloration rate of different synthetic wastewaters as a function of pH, dye concentration (methylene blue (MB)) and reaction time. A comparison of discoloration rate between conventional ozonation and catalytic ozonation salts of copper, zinc, silver and nickel was also performed. For the optimization of the ozonation process of colored solutions, it was used a central composite experimental design with five replicates of the center point resulting to evaluate the influence of the independent variables at different ranges of pH, [MB] and time. In the catalyst-assisted ozonation, [MB], pH and the reaction time were fixed to 100 mg/L, 5.5 and 15 min, respectively. The optimized experimental conditions to provide maximum discoloration were pH=3.3;[MB]=8.6 mg/L and time=74.3 min. Regarding the catalyst-assisted ozonation, it was found that CuSO4 catalyst gave better color reduction if compared with other catalysts assayed.展开更多

The process was continuously monitored focusing on the identification, mass spectrometry and elucidation of its by-products by applying direct infusion and high performance liquid chromatography, electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry, in the negative ion mode. The cytotoxicity of its by-products solutions were evaluated with 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. It was observed through that after 30 min of ozonation and chlorination, there was complete oxidation of captopril, i.e., 100% removal efficiency. At these conditions, the rate of mineralization, by total organic carbon, was only 7.63% for ozonation and 6.40% for chlorination, evidencing the formation of degradation by-products. Ten captopril by-products were identified and their respective chemical structures elucidations are proposed. The treated samples and their by-products were nontoxic to HepG2 cells by MTT assay.展开更多

Advanced treatments, including those using ozone, have been used in order to remove herbicides from different types of water with good treatment efficiency. The efficiency of ozonation, an oxidative process, in the removal of persistent compounds is affected by several factors, such as pH and the concentration of the contaminant. The compound metribuzin, the herbicide investigated in this study, is persistent and mobile in the environment with a high potential for transport through soils and thus it can reach the groundwater. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different pH conditions (2.5, 5.5 and 12.0) and initial concentrations of metribuzin (20, 50 and 100 ppm) on the removal of this herbicide from water using the ozonation process. In order to identify the possible effect of these two variables on the ozonation treatment, the concentration of metribuzin was determined by spectrophotometry UV-vis spectrophotometer. The results were used to evaluate the best conditions for the ozonation treatment. The ozonation conditions which provided the highest metribuzin removal efficiency (86.5% ± 0.3%) were pH 12.0 and an initial metribuzin concentration of 20 ppm. The findings indicate that oxidation with ozone is effective for the removal of metribuzin from aqueous solutions under the conditions studied.展开更多

Catalytic activity tests performed at 120℃showed that the NO oxidation efficiency of F-TiO_(2)samples was higher than that of TiO_(2)(about 43.7%), and the NO oxidation efficiency of F-TiO_(2)-0.15 was the highest, which was 65.3%. Combined with physicochemical characteristics of catalysts and the analysis of active species, it was found that there was a synergistic effect between F sites and oxygen vacancies on F-TiO_(2), which could accelerate the transformation of monomolecular O_(3)into multi-molecule singlet oxygen(1O_(2)), thus promoting the selective oxidation of NO to NO_(2). The oxidation reaction of NO on F-TiO_(2)-0.15 follows the Eley-Rideal mechanism, that is, gaseous NO reacts with adsorbed O_(3)and finally form NO_(2).展开更多

However, the predicted results were occasionally unreliable for complex substituents, and other factors caused concern. In this study, p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) and ibuprofen (IBP) were selected for ozonation. According to the electron inductive theory, p-CNB should be less oxidizable, but the opposite was true. The higher rates of p-CNB were due to various sources of assistance. First, the hydroxyl radical (•OH) contributed 90 % to p-CNB removal at pH 7.0, while its contribution to IBP removal was 50 %. Other contributions came from molecular O3 oxidation. Second, p-CNB achieved 40 % of the total organic carbon (TOC) removal and fewer by-product types and quantities, when compared to the results for IBP. Third, the oxidation of p-CNB started with hydroxyl substitution reactions on the benzene ring;then, the ring opened. However, IBP was initially oxidized mainly on the butane branched chain, with a chain-shortening process occurring before the ring opened. Finally, the degradation pathway of p-CNB was single and consumed fewer oxidants. However, both branches of IBP were attacked simultaneously, and three degradation pathways that relied on more oxidants were proposed. All of these factors were determinants of the rapid removal of p-CNB.展开更多

文摘In order to improve the ozonation efficiency for the remediation of PAHs contaminated soil,the performance experiments were carried out with quartz sand artificially contaminated with phenanthrene.The byproducts of phenanthrene were detected by GC-MS and the toxicity was evaluated by seed germination tests.The influence of the particle size and moisture content of quartz sand on the ozonation efficiency was investigated.In addition,two kinds of real soil was used to compare with the quartz sand.It was revealed that the phenanthrene removal rate reached 96%after 600 minutes by using the ozonation process.Three byproducts of phenanthrene,including 9,10-phenanthrenedione,(1,1’-biphenyl)-2,2’-dicarboxaldehyde,and(1,1’-biphenyl)-2,2’-dicarboxylic acid,were obtained.As proven by seed germination tests,the toxicity of the byproducts was lower than phenanthrene.The phenanthrene was removed more effectively by ozonation in the quartz sand with finer particle size.The ozonation efficiency was significantly improved by increasing the moisture content,which is assumed to be related to the alkalinity of quartz sand.

文摘CuO particles were attempted to fill in the channel of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as novel catalytic materials CuO@MWCNTs used for ozonation of humic acids (HA) in aqueous solution.Catalyst samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM),X-ray diffraction (XRD),thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).The removal efficiency of HA was promoted in the presence of CuO@MWCNTs compared with that of Al2O3-supported CuO catalyst (CuO/Al2O3) and CuO-coating MWCNTs catalyst (CuO/MWCNTs).The strong synergetic effect in the confinement environment on CuO nanoparticles can attribute to the locally higher pressure due to the lower potential energy of reactants in the channels.Strong interaction happened between the catalyst and reactants,which promoted the decomposition of ozone and the generation of OH.The results of experimental and theoretical investigation confirmed that CuO@MWCNTs promotes the initiation and generation of OH,hence accelerating the degradation of organic pollutants.

文摘To better understand the formation of H2O2 in the ozonation of nitrobenzene and its role for the oxidation,a batch reactor of nitrobenzene ozonation was set up.The variables such as pH value,ozone dosage,and the presence of hydroxyl radical scavenger were investigated.The results showed that high accumulations of H2O2 were generally formed at low pH values and low ozone dosages.Moreover,H2O2 mainly formed after nitrobenzene was oxidized by hydroxyl radical during ozonation of the intermediates,such as p-nitrophenol,which reacted with ozone quickly in water.A small amount of additional H2O2 enhanced the nitrobenzene removal slightly.The kinetic study showed that nitrobenzene degradation fitted with pseudo-second-order kinetics well in the experiment.The kinetic constant values correlated linearly with the concentrations of H2O2 added.Thus,it is expected that the H2O2 formed in oxidation of nitrobenzene may initiate ozone decomposition to form hydroxyl radical and finally enhance the degradation of aromatic compounds to a certain extent.

文摘In order to improve the catalytic ozonation effect of resorcinol, the spinel CuFe_2O_4 was modified by doped CeO_2, and X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) were used for characterization analysis. The effects of composite catalyst CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 dosage, ozone dosage, initial pH and reaction temperature on degradation were studied, and the stability of the catalyst was tested. The results showed that the composite effect of CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 prepared by combustion method was good, and the catalyst presented a laminated structure, in which 30 wt% CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 degradation effect was significant. The removal rate of resorcinol using CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 composite catalyst was higher than that using ozone or CuFe_2O_4 separately by 41.8% and 11.9%, respectively. In a reaction with resorcinol concentration of 100 mg/L, the catalyst dosage of 1.0 g/L, the ozone dosage of 2.5 mg/(L·min), at pH=9, temperature of 20 ℃, for reaction time of 40 min, the resorcinol removal rate was 88.5%. The catalyst CeO_2/CuFe_2O_4 still showed good degradation effect after repeatedly using for 10 times, and the dissolution rate of metal ions was lower than that of CuFe_2O_4.
文摘During textile manufacturing, huge amounts of wastewaters characterized by removed impurities and high concentrations of dye are produced. These wastewaters cause several problems when they are discharged to the environment. The use of ozone in wastewater treatment results of interest. In this work we propose to assess the discoloration rate of different synthetic wastewaters as a function of pH, dye concentration (methylene blue (MB)) and reaction time. A comparison of discoloration rate between conventional ozonation and catalytic ozonation salts of copper, zinc, silver and nickel was also performed. For the optimization of the ozonation process of colored solutions, it was used a central composite experimental design with five replicates of the center point resulting to evaluate the influence of the independent variables at different ranges of pH, [MB] and time. In the catalyst-assisted ozonation, [MB], pH and the reaction time were fixed to 100 mg/L, 5.5 and 15 min, respectively. The optimized experimental conditions to provide maximum discoloration were pH=3.3;[MB]=8.6 mg/L and time=74.3 min. Regarding the catalyst-assisted ozonation, it was found that CuSO4 catalyst gave better color reduction if compared with other catalysts assayed.

文摘The article evaluated the degradation of the captopril in aqueous solution after ozonation and chlorination. The process was continuously monitored focusing on the identification, mass spectrometry and elucidation of its by-products by applying direct infusion and high performance liquid chromatography, electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry, in the negative ion mode. The cytotoxicity of its by-products solutions were evaluated with 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. It was observed through that after 30 min of ozonation and chlorination, there was complete oxidation of captopril, i.e., 100% removal efficiency. At these conditions, the rate of mineralization, by total organic carbon, was only 7.63% for ozonation and 6.40% for chlorination, evidencing the formation of degradation by-products. Ten captopril by-products were identified and their respective chemical structures elucidations are proposed. The treated samples and their by-products were nontoxic to HepG2 cells by MTT assay.
文摘Herbicides are chemical compounds capable of killing or inhibiting the growth of certain plants and they have been frequently detected in natural waters. Advanced treatments, including those using ozone, have been used in order to remove herbicides from different types of water with good treatment efficiency. The efficiency of ozonation, an oxidative process, in the removal of persistent compounds is affected by several factors, such as pH and the concentration of the contaminant. The compound metribuzin, the herbicide investigated in this study, is persistent and mobile in the environment with a high potential for transport through soils and thus it can reach the groundwater. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different pH conditions (2.5, 5.5 and 12.0) and initial concentrations of metribuzin (20, 50 and 100 ppm) on the removal of this herbicide from water using the ozonation process. In order to identify the possible effect of these two variables on the ozonation treatment, the concentration of metribuzin was determined by spectrophotometry UV-vis spectrophotometer. The results were used to evaluate the best conditions for the ozonation treatment. The ozonation conditions which provided the highest metribuzin removal efficiency (86.5% ± 0.3%) were pH 12.0 and an initial metribuzin concentration of 20 ppm. The findings indicate that oxidation with ozone is effective for the removal of metribuzin from aqueous solutions under the conditions studied.

文摘To improve the sludge conditioning efficiency without increasing the ozone dose,an in-situ sludge reduction process based on Mn^(2+)-catalytic ozonation conditioning was proposed.Using ozone conditioning alone as a control,a lab-scale sequencing batch reactor coupled with ozonated sludge recycle was evaluated for its operating performance at an ozone dose of 75 mg O_(3)/g VSS and 1.5 mmol/L Mn^(2+)addition.The results showed a 39.4%reduction in MLSS and an observed sludge yield of 0.236 kg MLSS/kg COD for the O_(3)+Mn^(2+)group compared to the O_(3)group (15.3%and 0.292 kg MLSS/kg COD),accompanied by better COD,NH_(4)^(+)-N,TN and TP removal,improved effluent SS and limited impact on excess sludge properties.Subsequently,activity tests,BIOLOG ECO microplates and 16S rRNA sequencing were applied to elucidate the changing mechanisms of Mn^(2+)-catalytic ozonation related to microbial action:(1) Dehydrogenase activity reached a higher peak.(2) Microbial utilization of total carbon sources had an elevated effect,up to approximately 18%,and metabolic levels of six carbon sources were also increased,especially for sugars and amino acids most pronounced.(3) The abundance of Defluviicoccus under the phylum Proteobacteria was enhanced to 12.0%and dominated in the sludge,they had strong hydrolytic activity and metabolic capacity.Denitrifying bacteria of the genus Ferruginibacter also showed an abundance of 7.6%,they contributed to the solubilization and reduction of sludge biomass.These results could guide researchers to further reduce ozonation conditioning costs,improve sludge management and provide theoretical support.

文摘Catalytic ozonation is widely employed in advanced wastewater treatment owing to its high mineralization of refractory organics.The key to high mineralization is the compatibility between catalyst formulation and wastewater quality.Machine learning can greatly improve experimental efficiency,while fluorescence data can provide additional wastewater quality information on the composition and concentration of organics,which is conducive to optimizing catalyst formulation.In this study,machine learning combined with fluorescence spectroscopy was applied to develop ozonation catalysts(Mn/g-Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst was used as an example).Based on the data collected from 52 different catalysts,a machine-learning model was established to predict catalyst performance.The correlation coefficient between the experimental and model-predicted values was 0.9659,demonstrating the robustness and good generalization ability of the model.The range of the catalyst formulations was preliminarily screened by fluorescence spectroscopy.When the wastewater was dominated by tryptophan-like and soluble microbial products,the impregnation concentration and time of Mn(NO_(3))_(2) were less than 0.3 mol L^(-1)and 10 h,respectively.Furthermore,the optimized Mn/g-Al_(2)O_(3)formulation obtained by the model was impregnation with 0.155 mol L^(-1)Mn(NO_(3))_(2)solution for 8.5 h and calcination at 600℃ for 3.5 h.The model-predicted and experimental values for total organic carbon removal were 54.48% and 53.96%,respectively.Finally,the improved catalytic performance was attributed to the synergistic effect of oxidation(·OH and ^(1)O_(2))and the Mn/g-Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst.This study provides a rapid approach to catalyst design based on the characteristics of wastewater quality using machine learning combined with fluorescence spectroscopy.

文摘With the continuous development of nanomaterials in recent years,the application of nanocatalysts in catalytic ozone oxidation has attracted more and more researchers’attention due to their excellent catalytic properties.In this review,we systematically summarized the current research status of nanocatalysts mainly involving material categories,mechanisms and catalytic efficiency.Based on summary and analysis,we found most of the reported nanocatalysts were in the stage of laboratory research,which was caused by the nanocatalysts defects such as easy aggregation,difficult separation,and easy leakage.These defects might result in severe resource waste,economic loss and potentially adverse effects imposed on the ecosystem and human health.Aiming at solving these defects,we further analyzed the reasons and the existing reports,and revealed that coupling nano-catalyst and membrane,supported nanocatalysts and magnetic nanocatalysts had promising potential in solving these problems and promoting the actual application of nanocatalysts in wastewater treatment.Furthermore,the advantages,shortages and our perspectives of these methods are summarized and discussed.

文摘As one of the most promising and practical advanced oxidation processes(AOPs),the catalytic ozonation is triggered by the active components of catalyst,which are usually derived from metals or metal oxides.To avoid the metal pollution from catalyst,here the amorphous boron(A-boron)is used as a metalfree catalyst for catalytic ozonation to produce free radicals for effective degradation of atrazine(ATZ),the world-widely used herbicide and also a widespread pollutant in environment.A-boron exhibits an outstanding performance for catalytic ozonation to remove ATZ from water.As A-boron is introduced into ozonation,the degradation efficiency in 10 min is promoted to 97.1%,much higher than that of 15.1%under ozonation.The mechanism is that the B-B bonds and internal suboxide B in A-boron serve as the main active sites to donate electrons to accelerate ozone decomposition to produce reactive oxygen species(ROS),including·O_(2)^(-)and^(1)O_(2),and further enhance ATZ degradation via ROS reactions.Moreover,the A-boron is still highly active with a degradation efficiency of ATZ over 95%in 10 min even after four successive cycles.This work shows A-boron could be an alternative for the active components of metal or metal oxide in catalytic ozonation.

文摘The improvement of catalysts’stability under harsh reaction conditions is vital for their practical applica-bility.Herein,iron carbide(Fe_(3)C)nanoparticles were encapsulated in graphitic carbon in situ and a carbon ball served as the carrier.The synthesized Fe_(3)C@C/C was first utilized to treat an m-cresol wastewater containing Si via catalytic ozonation.Compared with the commercial Fe/Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst,the resistance to Si of the Fe_(3)C@C/C was improved 22.68 times,while the TOC removal rate increased by a factor of 2.9,and it remained stable during 10 cycles and 12000 min of continuous reaction,which further demon-strated its potential for diverse applications.The catalyst exhibits improved resistance to Si because of the dual protection from the carbon-encapsulated structure and carbon carrier.Density functional theory calculations show that the encapsulation of Fe_(3)C using carbon significantly increases the resistance to adsorption of Si on its active sites.In addition,the activation of O_(3)is unimpeded on the Fe_(3)C adsorption sites by the protection from C,thus the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)by ozone is largely promoted.The mechanism associated with the resistance of the Fe_(3)C@C/C catalyst to Si and its elevated activity are also elucidated.

文摘Oxidation-absorption technology is a key step for NOxremoval from low-temperature gas.Under the condition of low O_(3)concentration(O_(3)/NO molar ratio = 0.6), F-TiO_(2)(F-TiO_(2)), which is cheap and environmentally friendly, has been prepared as ozonation catalysts for NO oxidation. Catalytic activity tests performed at 120℃showed that the NO oxidation efficiency of F-TiO_(2)samples was higher than that of TiO_(2)(about 43.7%), and the NO oxidation efficiency of F-TiO_(2)-0.15 was the highest, which was 65.3%. Combined with physicochemical characteristics of catalysts and the analysis of active species, it was found that there was a synergistic effect between F sites and oxygen vacancies on F-TiO_(2), which could accelerate the transformation of monomolecular O_(3)into multi-molecule singlet oxygen(1O_(2)), thus promoting the selective oxidation of NO to NO_(2). The oxidation reaction of NO on F-TiO_(2)-0.15 follows the Eley-Rideal mechanism, that is, gaseous NO reacts with adsorbed O_(3)and finally form NO_(2).

文摘For aromatic monomer compounds (AMCs), ozonation outcomes were usually predicted by the substituents of the benzene ring based on the electron inductive effect. However, the predicted results were occasionally unreliable for complex substituents, and other factors caused concern. In this study, p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) and ibuprofen (IBP) were selected for ozonation. According to the electron inductive theory, p-CNB should be less oxidizable, but the opposite was true. The higher rates of p-CNB were due to various sources of assistance. First, the hydroxyl radical (•OH) contributed 90 % to p-CNB removal at pH 7.0, while its contribution to IBP removal was 50 %. Other contributions came from molecular O3 oxidation. Second, p-CNB achieved 40 % of the total organic carbon (TOC) removal and fewer by-product types and quantities, when compared to the results for IBP. Third, the oxidation of p-CNB started with hydroxyl substitution reactions on the benzene ring;then, the ring opened. However, IBP was initially oxidized mainly on the butane branched chain, with a chain-shortening process occurring before the ring opened. Finally, the degradation pathway of p-CNB was single and consumed fewer oxidants. However, both branches of IBP were attacked simultaneously, and three degradation pathways that relied on more oxidants were proposed. All of these factors were determinants of the rapid removal of p-CNB.
