Abstract:

To study the effect of bimetallic catalysts on the removal of organic pollutants, the simulated phenol wastewater was subjected to Fe/Ag catalytic ozonation treatment. The catalyst was characterized by various characterization methods (SEM, BET and XRD), and the degradation effects due to the different catalyst types and dosages and initial pH were evaluated. The results show that compared with Fe, the specific surface area of Fe/Ag is reduced by 22.8%. In the reaction system of Fe/Ag/O3 and phenol-containing wastewater, the reaction follows the mechanism of direct action of ozone and the free radicals (·OH, ·O2, H2O2). Fe/Ag and ozone show good synergistic effects in the reaction. The phenol and COD removal rate were, respectively, 18.4% and 29.4% higher than that of ozone oxidation alone (initial phenol concentration=300 mg/L, catalysts dosage=1.00 g, and initial solution pH=6.3).

Key words: Catalytic ozonation, Fe/Ag, phenol degradation, synergistic effect, free radical
