The use of goethite and hydrogen peroxide was recently found to effectively oxidise organic compounds. This research was to investigate the effect of adsorption, pH, Fe2 +  and Fe3 +  on 2-CP oxidation. Results indicated that 2-CP can be decomposed with hydrogen peroxide catalysed by goethite and the oxidation rate increased with decreasing goethite particle size. The optimum oxidation rate was observed at the pH below 3.0.Addition of Fe2 +  and Fe3 +  can enhance the catalytic oxidation rate of 2-CP very efficiently. The main mechanism of goethite catalysing hydrogen peroxide to oxidise 2-CP may be due to the catalysis of ferrous ions and goethite surface.

This paper describes a novel heterogeneous catalytic oxidation process involving the use of hydrogen peroxide ( H2O2) with granular size iron oxide particles (FeOOH) in aqueous phase. The generation of hydroxyl radical (OH•) in the process is demonstrated through the use of a probe chemical, n-chlorobutane (BuCl). Based on the experimental evidence, it is concluded that the OH•, which is produced through the interaction of H2O2 with the surface sites, reacts with solutes adsorbed on the iron oxide surface, causing oxidation of the organic compounds. The generation rate of OH• increases slightly with increasing pH in the range of 5-9. The oxidation rate of BuCl by OH• is relatively insensitive to the pH and the level of bicarbonate ion in subject water due to low affinity of bicarbonate for the surface. Phosphate, on the other hand, inhibits the oxidation rate by preferential adsorption on the surface. This new process provides a viable alternative to the existing oxidation technologies, especially when water has high alkalinity and/or it is desired to oxidize target compounds that have high affinity for the surface selectively.

Novel oxidation technology to decolorize dye wastewater was discussed and the feasibility of color removal with Fe/MgO catalyst fluidizing in a reactor under continuous flow was demonstrated at room temperature. In batch tests, the oxidation reaction of reactive and disperse dye with an oxidizing agent, hydrogen peroxide, in the presence of Fe/MgO catalyst was performed. Through the catalytic oxidation, dyes were oxidized to molecules with lower molecular weight and then mineralized based on TOC analysis. The influence of hydrogen peroxide and catalyst dosage on the catalytic oxidation rate was verified. The catalytic oxidation rate increased with increasing hydrogen peroxide and catalyst dosage. Fe/MgO catalyst fluidizing in the reactor operated at room temperature was tested to decolorize the wastewater from a dye manufacturing industry. In the fluidized bed reactor, the wastewater was completely decolorized and about 30% of COD removal was obtained during 30 days of operation. Organic matters were degraded and part of them mineralized by the catalytic oxidation. BOD/COD ratio of the effluent from the fluidized bed reactor was increased compared to that of the influent. After 30 days of operation, the effluent from the fluidized bed reactor started becoming yellowish. COD and residual hydrogen peroxide concentration in the effluent started to increase due to the catalyst losing its activity.
