Homogeneous and heterogeneous  catalytic ozonation of endosulfan with activated carbon as catalystCatalytic ozonation of endosulfan with the presence of activated carbon as catalyst was investigated at neutral pH and different temperatures. The model kinetics was developed based on the mechanism of catalytic decomposition ozone, namely homogeneous and heterogeneous decomposition reaction. This study focuses on determining the contribution of homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction to endosulfan removal in catalytic ozonation with activated carbon as catalyst. Endosulfan was selected as a target of study because it is organic pollutant and organic chlorine pesticide (OCPs) groups that may cause a serious environmental concern. The use of activated carbonfrom Bogar Forest Centre actually provides a slightly contribution in enhancing endosulfan oxidation reaction with ozone. This is because endosulfan has sulfide group or sulfur element that is very reactive to ozone. Even though, the amount of OH increases because of ozonation with activated carbon use. The heterogeneous and homogeneous reaction contributions at  neutral  pH and temperature range of 20- 30oC  were 11-21% and 79- 89% from overall endosulfan removal in catalytic ozonation with promoted by of activated carbon, respectively.Keywords: Activated Carbon, Catalytic Ozonation, Endosulfan AbstrakOzonasi katalitik endosulfan dengan adanya katalis karbon aktif dilakukan pada pH netral dan suhu yang berbeda-beda. Persamaan kinetika reaksi dikembangkan berdasarkan mekanisme reaksi dekomposisi ozon secara katalitik yaitu reaksi homogen dan heterogen. Penelitian ini ditujukan terutama untuk menentukan kontribusi reaksi homogen dan heterogen terhadap penyisihan endosulfan di dalam ozonasi katalitik dengan karbon aktif sebagai katalis.Endosulfan dipilih sebagai sasaran penelitian karena merupakan polutan organik dan kelompok pestisida organoklorida (OCPs) yang menjadi perhatian serius di lingkungan. Karbon aktif yang digunakan berasal dari Balai Hutan Bogar yang ternyata memberikan pengaruh kecil terhadap peningkatan reaksi oksidasi endosulfan dengan ozon. Hal ini disebabkan endosulfan mempunyai gugus sulfida atau sulfur yang sang at reaktif terhadap ozon. Meskipun, jumlah OH meningkat disebabkan penggunaan ozonasi dengan karbon aktf. Kontribusi reaksi homogen dan heterogen terhadap penyisihan endosulfan pada kondisi pH netral dan suhu 20-30 oC  masing-masing sebesar 79- 89% dan 11- 21% dari total penyisihan endosulfan dalam ozonasi katalitik dengan dipromosikan oleh karbon aktifKata kunci: Endosulfan, Karbon Aktif, Ozonasi Katalitik

The studied organic chemical wastewater had a high COD, 20–45 g/L, and low TSS, less than 200 mg/L, making anaerobic bio-filtration a suitable treatment method. The organic matter consisted of alcohols, amines, ketones and aromatic compounds, such as toluene and phenol. Granulated activated carbon (GAC) and a porous stone called tezontle, widely available in Mexico, were used as a bio-film support. Once inoculated, the mesophilic reactors with granulated activated carbon (GAC-BFs) reached stability with 80% COD removal in 40 days, while the reactors with tezontle material (tezontle-BF) required 145 days. Biodegradation of more than 95% was obtained with both support media: at organic loads less than 1.7 kg m−3 d−1 in tezontle-BF and with loads of up to 13.3 kg m−3 d−1 in GAC-BFs. The bio-filters with GAC allowed COD removal efficiency of 80% at a load as high as 26.3 kg m−3 d−1, while the same efficiency with tezontle was obtained at loads up to 4.45 kg m−3 d−1. The use of GAC as support material allows greater biodegradation rates than tezontle and it makes the bio-filters more resistant to organic increases, inhibition effects and toxicity. Methanogenic activity was inhibited at loads higher than 1.7 kg m−3 d−1 in bio-filters with tezontle and 22.8 kg m−3 d−1 in bio-filters with GAC. At loads lower than the previously mentioned, high methane production yield was obtained, 0.32–0.35 m3CH4/kg CODremoved. The biomass growth rates were low in the bio-filters with both kinds of material; however, a sufficiently high biomass holdup was obtained.

Worldwide attention has been attracted to 1,4-dioxane because of its probable human carcinogenicity and frequent occurrence in surface waters and wastewaters. Thus, many countries and organizations have set limits for the amount of this material in drinking water and wastewater effluent. However, the removal of 1,4-dioxane during traditional treatment processes, even ozonation (pH < 7), has been limited. Therefore, 1,4-dioxane removal during catalytic ozonation was investigated in this study, and activated carbon was selected as the ideal catalyst. The removal efficiency of 1,4-dioxane by ozonation was promoted significantly using activated carbon compared with that of ozonation only. Tert-butyl alcohol significantly reduced the removal efficiency of 1,4-dioxane during catalytic ozonation, which suggested that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were formed during catalytic ozonation and played an important role in decomposing 1,4-dioxane. Additionally, results concerning the stability of activated carbon indicated that the catalytic activity of this catalyst remained steady during ozonation.

Abstract In this study, the high-gravity technique is used to intensify the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation with activated carbon (AC) as the catalyst for removal of phenol from wastewater in a rotating packed bed (RPB), and the effects of high-gravity factor, inlet O3 concentration, liquid-gas ratio and initial pH on the degradation and mineralization of phenol at room temperature are investigated. It is revealed that the degradation rate of phenol reaches 100% at 10 min and the removal rate of total organic carbon (TOC) reaches 91% at 40 min under the conditions of high-gravity factor β=40, inlet O3 concentration =90 mg·L-1, liquid flow rate =80 L·h-1 and initial pH=11. Compared with the bubbling reactor (BR)/O3/AC and RPB/O3 systems, the mineralization rate of phenol by the RPB/O3/AC system is increased by 24.78% and 34.77%, respectively. Free radical quenching experiments are performed using tertiary butanol (TBA) and benzoquinone(BQ) as scavengers of ·OH and O2·−, respectively. It is shown that the degradation and mineralization of phenol are respectively attributed to the direct ozonation and the indirect oxidation by ·OH generated from the decomposition of O3 adsorbed on AC surface. •OH and O2•− are also detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Thus, it is concluded that AC-catalyzed ozonation and high gravity technique had a synergistic effect on •OH initiation, which in turn can significantly improve the degradation and mineralization of organic wastewater.
