A continuous two step O3/H2O2 oxidation system, in which the waste gas from the former reactor was reused in the latter step with an ejector, was established for the purpose of wastewater reclamation in electronics industries. ORP monitor was combined into the system to obtain the optimum ratio of H2O2 to O3 by automatically adjusting the dosage of H2O2, and ion exchange resin was used for removing organic acids formed during oxidation. The effectiveness of the O3/H2O2 oxidation system for TOC removal was investigated under various conditions by using IPA, DMSO, and NMP as model substances. The optimum H2O2/O3 for oxidizing IPA was in a range above 0.15, and it increased with the increase of O3 dose. A sudden drop of ORP from ca. 800 mV to a little more than 200 mV was observed when H2O2/O3 was approaching the optimum point from the lower end. An ORP between 250 mV and 300mV or 800 mV and 900 mV was proper for H2O2/O3 control. The treatability of the model substances was in an order of IPA<<DMSO<NMP, being consistent with the magnitude of the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (eHOMO). The two step treatment system developed in this study was found to be more efficient than the conventional single step system. With the help of H2O2 dosing control and two step treatment using waste O3, the system could save about 40% O3 in comparison with the conventional O3/H2O2 oxidation process.

Diglyme (CAS No. 111-96-6), a biorefractive ether with teratogenic properties is of considerable importance as a solvent in the synthetic chemical industry. Results of lab-scale investigations into the optimal conditions for the oxidative mineralisation of 0.05 to 1 g/L of diglyme in synthetic process waters by hydrogen peroxide and ozone based advanced oxidation processes are presented. Fenton, photo-assisted Fenton and UV/H2O2 oxidation processes show acceptable TOC removals. At 50°C the initial TOC removal rates varies between 0.07 and 6g TOC/L*h. The rates increase with the initial diglyme and hydrogen peroxide concentration as well as with the UV irradiation energy intensity. For example at a 1g/l diglyme concentration a stoichiometric H2O2 addition resulted in TOC degradation of 60% to 70% after 30 minutes under the investigated conditions. Treatment with ozone/H2O2 at a pH of 8 and 25°C required at least 100 minutes to achieve comparable mineralisation results. Biodegradability can be reached in far shorter times. Ozone on its own cannot be recommended for diglyme treatment. If complete mineralisation of diglyme is the objective, the UV/H2O2 oxidation process should be favoured. The ozone/H2O2 process might offer a viable alternative in cases where the oxidation step is followed by biological wastewater treatment, so that biodegradability is aimed at.

To achieve efficient removal of phenolic pollutants in water, the catalyst of Fe (III)-Cu (II)/γ-Al2O3 was prepared. In the presence of Fe (III)-Cu (II)/γ-Al2O3, microwave-induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) catalytic oxidation process was conducted for the treatment of synthetic wastewater containing PNP, a representative of phenolic pollutants. Effectiveness of the process and factors influencing PNP removal were investigated and results showed microwave-induced H2O2-Fe (III)-Cu (II)/γ-Al2O3 process could achieve 99.41% PNP removal percentage, corresponding to 77.9% TOC removal in a given condition. The process remained effective in the 2-8 pH range with high reusability of Fe (III)-Cu (II)/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The kinetics study showed microwave-induced H2O2-Fe (III)-Cu (II)/γ-Al2O3 process could be divided into microwave induction stage and catalytic oxidation stage, both of which fitted first-order kinetics, with reaction rate constants of 0.0453 min-1 and 4.7552 min-1 respectively.

The catalytic oxidation of NOx from waste gas was investigated using advanced oxidation process based on sulfate radicals. The manganese oxide immobilized on graphene oxide (GO) can activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the oxidation of NOx in water. The Mn3O4/GO catalyst system exhibited efficient activity for NOx oxidation when the Mn3O4/GO catalyst loaded an optimum Mn3O4. In addition, 52.28% oxidation could be achieved within 60 min with 0.25 mM catalyst, and 2 mM PMS. Therefore, the results may have significant technical implication for utilizing Mn2+/PMS to oxidize NOx for offgas treatment.
