Abstract The application of activated carbon fiber supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (ACF-nZVI) in the continuous removal of Cr(VI) and methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution was studied in depth. The breakthrough curves of Cr(VI) in a fixed bed with ACF-nZVI were measured, and compared with those in the fixed bed with ACF. The catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) process for MO was also carried out using ACF-nZVI after reacting with Cr(VI) in the same fixed bed. The results showed that the breakthrough time of ACF-nZVI was significantly longer than that of ACF. Higher pH values were unfavorable for the Cr(VI) removal. The breakthrough time increased with decreasing inlet Cr(VI) concentration or increasing bed height. The Yoon–Nelson and bed depth service time (BDST) models were found to show good agreement with the experimental data. The Cr(VI) removal capacity when using ACF-nZVI was two times higher than that when using ACF. Under the optimal empty bed contact time of 1.256 min, the fixed bed displayed high MO conversion (99.2%) and chemical oxygen demand removal ratio (55.7%) with low Fe leaching concentration (<5 mg/L) after continuous running for 240 min. After three cycles, the conversion of MO remained largely unchanged.

Objective: ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using wet impregnation method, and activated carbon from rice straw (RS) prepared through chemical route. Methods: The nano-composites ZnO-AC series were prepared with different ZnO:AC ratio of 10, 20, 50, and 70% to optimize the zinc oxide nanoparticles used. The obtained composites were characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, SBET, and optical techniques then used for the photo-degradation of Malachite green dye (MG) under visible light. Results: It was found that 10ZnO-AC exhibited excellent visible light photo-catalytic performance. The ·OH radicals’ formation is matching with photo-activity of the prepared composites. The photo-degradation efficiency of MG increased from 63% to 93%, when the 10ZnO-AC photocatalyst amount was increased from 0.5 to 6 g/L. Conclusion: The GC-MS technique was used to analyze the intermediates formed; up to 15 kinds of chemicals were identified as the degradation products.

Abstract One of the major pollutants in leachate is phenol. Due to safety and environmental problems, removal of phenol from leachate is essential. Most of the adsorption studies have been conducted in batch systems. Practically, large-scale adsorption is carried out in continuous systems. In this research, the adsorption method has been used for phenol removal from leachate by using walnut shell activated carbon (WSA) and coconut shell activated carbon (CSA) as adsorbents in a fixed-bed column. The effect of adsorbent bed depth, influent phenol concentration and type of adsorbent on adsorption was explored. By increasing the depth of the adsorbent bed in the column, phenol removal efficiency and saturation time increase significantly. Also, by increasing the influent concentration, saturation time of the column decreases. To predict the column performance and describe the breakthrough curve, three kinetic models of Yon-Nelson, Adams-Bohart and Thomas were applied. The results of the experiments indicate that there is a good match between the results of the experiment and the predicted results of the models.
