A novel supported heterogeneous magnetic catalyst CoFe2O4/N-doped sludge based activated carbon (CoFe2O4/N-SAC) was prepared by polymer network gel method for the first time. The physicochemical properties of the materials were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, VSM and XPS techniques. The prepared catalyst is applied to the heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate for degradation of coking wastewater, and the effect of calcination temperature on the catalytic activity was investigated. The result reveals that the catalyst shows the highest catalytic activities under the calcination temperature is 800 °C with the TOC removal rate of coking wastewater is 84.31%.

AbstractThe degradation efficiency of fulvic acid (FA) was investigated in the catalytic wet oxidation process (CWPO) by zero-valent copper chitosan activated carbon ball (ZVC/CTS-ACB). Characterization of ZVC/CTS-ACB shows that zero-valent copper was loaded successfully on the chitosan activated carbon. Plackett–Buiman (PB) design and response surface methodology (RSM) were employed to determine the influence factors and the optimum processing parameters. The model was well fitted to the actual data and the correlation coefficients of R2 and R2-adj were 0.9359 and 0.9039, respectively. Under the obtained optimum conditions for FA degradation: temperature = 94 °C and pH 3.8, the average FA removal by three replicate experiments was 93.02%, which has a high consistency to the RSM optimal target response of 93.86%. The comparison of catalytic performance showed that the addition of catalyst ZVC/CTS-ACS could increase the removal rate of FA, color number (CN) and TOC by 93.6%, 83.5% and 81.9% respectively. The high TOC removal rate indicated the good performance of the catalyst to FA mineralization. Additionally, the ICP analysis of copper ion leaching was only 0.08 mg/l after 5 repeated recycles of the catalyst, demonstrating the high stability of ZVC/CTS-ACB that is beneficial for the actual application.

Abstract In this paper, the active component zero-valent copper (ZVC) supported by chitosan activated carbon ball (CTS-ACB) (i.e. ZVC/CTS-ACS catalyst) was successfully prepared. The characterization results showed obvious characteristics of activated carbon and zero-valent copper. The catalyst was used to degrade fulvic acid (FA) in catalytic wet oxidation(CWO) system. The two significant factors acidity and temperature were found with the statistical tool Plackett-Buimanhe(PB) in CWO for FA removal. Then the response surface methodology(RSM) model was used to optimize the experimental conditions in order to obtain the optimal FA removal rate. With the optimal experimental parameters, that is, a temperature of 94°C and an acidity of 3.8, the average maximum removal rate of FA was 93.02%, which was in agreement with the expected result of the model 93.86%, indicating that the model is well established. The comparison of catalytic performance showed that the addition of catalyst ZVC / CTS-ACS could increase the removal rate of FA, colour number(CN) and TOC by 93.6%, 83.5% and 81.9% respectively. The utilization of ZVC can greatly increase the mineralization rate of FA , which indicates the high catalytic activity and minerazation of the catalyst.

Nitrogen-doped activated carbon (N-AC) obtained through the thermal treatment of a mixture of HNO3-pretreated activated carbon (AC) and urea under N2 atmosphere at 600 °C was used as the carrier of Pd catalyst for both liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and gas-phase hydrodechlorination of chloropentafluoroethane (R-115). The effects of nitrogen doping on the dispersion and stability of Pd, atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the surface of the catalyzer, the catalyst’s hydrodechlorination activity, as well as the stability of N species in two different reaction systems were investigated. Our results suggest that, despite no improvement in the dispersion of Pd, nitrogen doping may significantly raise the atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the catalyst surface, with a value of 1.2 on Pd/AC but 2.2 on Pd/N-AC. Three types of N species, namely graphitic, pyridinic, and pyrrolic nitrogen, were observed on the surface of Pd/N-AC, and graphitic nitrogen was stable in both liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP and gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115, with pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen being unstable during gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115. As a result, the average size of Pd nanocrystals on Pd/N-AC was almost kept unchanged after liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP, whereas crystal growth of Pd was clearly observed on Pd/N-AC after gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115. The activity test revealed that Pd/N-AC exhibited a much better performance than Pd/AC in liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP, probably due to the enhanced stability of Pd exposed to the environment resulting from nitrogen doping as suggested by the higher atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the catalyst surface. In the gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115, however, a more rapid deactivation phenomenon occurred on Pd/N-AC than on Pd/AC despite a higher activity initially observed on Pd/N-AC, hinting that the stability of pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen plays an important role in the determination of catalytic performance of Pd/N-AC.

Abstract Advanced treatment of biologically treated coking wastewater (BTCW) using persulfate (PS) oxidation with magnetic activated carbon composite (CuFe2O4:AC w/w ratio of 1:1.5, denoted as 1.5-MACC) as a green catalyst was evaluated at ambient temperature (30 °C). Effects of PS (K2S2O8) and 1.5-MACC doses on PS decomposition and total organic carbon (TOC) removal in BTCW were also studied during 360 min. The results showed that the 1.5-MACC/PS system has a much better performance on TOC removal in BTCW than only 1.5-MACC or PS system. PS decomposition and TOC removal follow first-order kinetics in the 1.5-MACC/PS system. The optimum condition of the 1.5-MACC/PS system to treat BTCW is with a K2S2O8 dose of 4 g L−1 and 1.5-MACC dose of 5 g L−1. Under this condition, TOC in the PS oxidation effluent is 20.4 mg L−1 with a removal efficiency of 85.4%. TOC removal is a synergistic effect of adsorption and oxidation. TOC oxidation is due to the generation of ·SO4− via the activation of PS by CuFe2O4 impregnated AC. The gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that phenol compounds and esters were removed significantly by the 1.5-MACC/PS system. When 1.5-MACC was used for the fourth time in the 1.5-MACC/PS system, the removal ratio of TOC was still over 62.2% in 360 min reaction. Thus, the 1.5-MACC/PS system has a potential practical application in treatment of BTCW.

The blue coke activated carbon (BAC) modified by nitric acid at different concentrations was used as an adsorbent to remove COD from coking wastewater. Characterization of BAC was performed using N2 adsorption/desorption techniques, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Boehm titration. The results showed the Brunner–Emmet–Teller (BET) specific surface area and iodine value of BAC became higher after modification, and the adsorption capacity of BAC for coking wastewater was effectively improved with nitric acid modification. The optimal nitric acid concentration for modification was 3 mol/L (BAC-N3), which had more acid functional group contents than unmodified. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate was to reach 77.05% when 4 g BAC-N3 was added into 50 mL coking wastewater in 120 min with a shaking speed of 100 rpm at 25°C. Langmuir model could better describe equilibrium adsorption data by BAC-N3, and the kinetic study showed that the adsorption process was best fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

The preparation of Mo–Fe/SiO2 catalysts by sol-gel method, catalytic selective oxidations of p-xylene to terephthalaldehyde over the Mo–Fe/SiO2 catalyst, and the effects of the supported metal on the catalytic activities were investigated. The catalysts were characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results show that the presence of Fe enhances the catalytic performance of Mo–Fe/SiO2 on the selective oxidation of p-xylene. The addition of the optimal concentration of 15% Fe results in 53.2% conversion and 33.3% selectivity. The optimal calcination temperature of the Mo–Fe/SiO2 catalyst was 500 °C.
