Electrochemical dechlorination with Pd-loaded electrodes offers an effective method for detoxification of wastewater. Electro-reductive dechlorination of 3-chlorophenol (3-CP) with Pd loaded on carbon felt (Pd/CF) was investigated. Pd was loaded on carbon felt by electrolytic method. The prepared electrodes were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, S-TEM and CV. The sizes of the Pd particles loaded on CF were found in the range of 100–400 nm. The preparing conditions including loading amount of Pd and loading currents were investigated. Moreover, the reduction conditions including electrolytes, reductive currents and recycle times were also studied. The Pd/CF cathodes with Pd loading of 0.5 mg/cm2, preparing current of 5 mA, electrolyte concentration of 30 mmol/L NaCl and 30 mmol/L CH3COONa were used to reduce 3-CP for dechlorination. When CH3COONa was used as the electrolyte, the current was 5 mA, the initial pH was 7.5, the initial 3-CP concentration was 1 mmol/L and the degradation rate of 3-CP could reach 95.81% after reduction of 150 min under an argon atmosphere. The electrochemical reduction of 3-CP was confirmed to follow the first-order rate law. 3-CP was qualitatively dechlorinated to phenol on electrodes with Pd. The fact that active hydrogen formed on palladium during preliminary electrolysis could be proved by the dechlorinated 3-CP in non-electroreduction after preliminary electrolysis. A possible reduction pathway was proposed based on the results.

The degradation of phenol was demonstrate with a novel two-layer type cathode (TTC). For the fabrication of TTC, chitosan was firstly deposited on foam nickel, then one piece of the resulting foam-Ni film and one piece of nanographite(Nano-G) composite film were fasten to obtain the two-layer type nano-G︱foam-Ni cathode. The electrolysis phenol was conducted by self-made cathode and the Ti/IrO2/RuO2 anode in the diaphragm cell. The results showed that in the diaphragm electrolysis system with the aeration conditions, the degradation rate of phenol reached 97.15% under 120min’s electrolysis, when current density was 39 mA/cm2, initial pH value was 12 and electrolyte concentration was 0.1 mol/L. This two-layer type cathode could be reused without catalytic activity decrease, suggesting its potential application in the wastewater treatment.

Studies were undertaken to evaluate gaseous pollutants in workplace air within pulp and paper mills and to consider the effectiveness of photo-catalytic treatment of this air. Ambient air at 30 sampling sites in five pulp and paper mills of southern China were sampled and analyzed. The results revealed that formaldehyde and various benzene-based molecules were the main gaseous pollutants at these five mills. A photo-catalytic reactor system with titanium dioxide (TiO2) was developed and evaluated for degradation of formaldehyde, benzene and their mixtures. The experimental results demonstrated that both formaldehyde and benzene in their pure forms could be completely photo-catalytic degraded, though the degradation of benzene was much more difficult than that for formaldehyde. Study of the photo-catalytic degradation kinetics revealed that the degradation rate of formaldehyde increased with initial concentration fitting a first-order kinetics reaction. In contrast, the degradation rate of benzene had no relationship with initial concentration and degradation did not conform to first-order kinetics. The photo-catalytic degradation of formaldehyde-benzene mixtures indicated that formaldehyde behaved differently than when treated in its pure form. The degradation time was two times longer and the kinetics did not reflect a first-order reaction. The degradation of benzene was similar in both pure form and when mixed with formaldehyde.

Abstract A rapid coulometric method was developed for the measurement of peroxide value In edible oils and fats. The sample size and reagents volumes In this method are considerably less than those in the American Oil Chemists' Society method. Iodine produced by the reaction of the Iodide Ion and peroxide In the sample Is electrochemlcally reduced at the carbon-felt electrode more rapidly than it is with lodometric titration. The present method Is successfully applied to the measurements of edible oils and fats, and the coulometric results obtained are consistent with those obtained by iodometry.

Extension workers are sensing pressure to use soils information and chemical characteristics data to guide farmers in selecting pesticides least prone to leach into groundwater. Our objective was to estimate differences in herbicide migration to groundwater under conditions typical for the Southeast Coastal Plain, and to consider how a farmer might be advised to use such knowledge in selecting herbicides. We used a simple computer code for microcomputers to predict persistence and migration of 17 herbicides through a hypothetical, coarse-textured soil typical of the Southeast Coastal Plain. Appropriate herbicides were selected for several common crop-weed problems, such as sicklepod in soybean and Palmer amaranth in corn. Groundwater was assumed to be 3.15 m below the soil surface. Herbicides selected covered a broad range of half-lives and organic carbon partition coefficients. Only after the first-order degradation rate constant was reduced by a factor of five did predicted soil water concentrations of several herbicides at the groundwater interface reach normal detection limits. Still, predicted concentrations were below the level established for health effects advisory purposes. Due to the large number of uncertainties and the inability to estimate practical benefits, we conclude that data relating to soil and herbicide characteristics cannot be used at this time to override cost effectiveness, efficacy, and other factors normally considered by farmers and Extension professionals in herbicides for weed control.

Zidovudine wastewater is difficult to biodegradation due to high COD and toxicity. The synergetic treatment of Zidovudine wastewater by Ultrasonic and iron-carbon micro-electrolysis technology was studied. The influence of initial pH, reaction time, mass ratio of iron and carbon and mass ratio of iron and water on degradation rate of COD was researched. The result showed that the COD removal rate was only about 54.3% and the degradation speed is very slow when iron-carbon micro-electrolysis treated Zidovudine wastewater　separately. However, when ultrasonic synergy micro-electrolysis to treat Zidovudine wastewater, the COD removal rate could was up to 85% and the reaction time was also decreased. Moreover, the BOD5 / COD rose from 0.15 to 0.35, which meant the wastewater became easily biodegradable.

The stain of Fusarium sp. HJ01 used in 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) degradation was isolated in our laboratory. The effects of pH, temperature, 4-CP concentration, carbon source on 4-CP degradation rate were studied. It was concluded that Fusarium sp. HJ01 could grow with 4-CP as the sole carbon and energy source. 4-CP concentration of 100mg/L in the pH range of 4~10 and temperature range of 25°C~35°C could be degraded completely. The capacity of 4-CP degradation was effectively enhanced by the addiction of sucrose. The kinetics of 4-CP degradation could well accord with the Haldane model for 4-CP as the sole carbon source and with first order equation for added other sucrose.
