AbstractIn the present study, hydrogen peroxide (HP) and persulfate (PS)-activated nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) and zero-valent aluminum (nZVAl) heterogeneous treatment systems (nZVI/HP-PS and nZVAl/HP-PS) were investigated for the removal of 20 mg/L (88 μM) aqueous Bisphenol A (BPA). Oxidation with HP and PS in the absence of nanoparticles did not cause BPA degradation, whereas the nZVI/O

Both ˙OH and CO3˙− participated in the degradation of BPA in the nZVI/SPC system, and ˙OH was the main radical.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial pollutant considered as one of the major endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in natural waters. In the present study, the use of a commercial, air-stable, zero-valent iron (ZVI) powder, consisting of Fe0 surface stabilized nanoparticles was examined for the treatment of 20 mg/L, aqueous BPA solutions. The influence of pH (3, 5, 7), addition of hydrogen peroxide (HP) and persulfate (PS) oxidants (0.0, 1.25 and 2.5 mM) as well as temperature (25 and 50 °C) was studied for BPA treatment with 1 g/L ZVI. ZVI coupled with HP or PS provided an effective treatment system, which was based on rapid ZVI-mediated decomposition of the above-mentioned oxidants, resulting in complete BPA as well as significant total organic carbon (TOC) (88%) removals, in particular when PS was employed as the oxidant. Increasing the PS concentration and reaction temperature dramatically enhanced PS decomposition and BPA removal rates, whereas HP was not very effective in TOC removals and at elevated temperatures. According to the bioassays conducted with Vibrio fischeri and Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the acute toxicity of aqueous BPA fluctuated at first but decreased appreciably at the end of ZVI/PS treatment.
