The removal of phenol wastewater was experimentally investigated using a three-dimensional electrode reactor with granular activated carbon and titanium filter electrode arrays. The effects of the electric current, the residence time and the initial concentration on the phenol removal were evaluated. For the initial concentration of 490 mg/L, the phenol removal was obtained as 90% under the conditions of electric current 2 A, residence time 40 min. The effluent path of the electrochemical cell was optimized, using the anode effluent instead of the top effluent, where the phenol and COD removal was both increased to 95% and the corresponding energy consumption was decreased from 9.66 to 7.63 kWh/kg COD.

Abstract Phenol and its derivatives are organic pollutants with dangerous effects, such as poisoning, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity in humans and other organisms. In this study, the removal of phenol from aqueous solution by adsorption on silica and activated carbon of rice husk was investigated. In this regard, the effects of initial concentration of phenol, pH, dosage of the adsorbents, and contact time on the adsorption of phenol were investigated. The results showed that the maximum removal of phenol by rice husk silica (RHS) and rice husk activated carbon (RHAC) in the initial concentration of 1 mgL−1 phenol, 2 gL−1 adsorbent mass, 120 min contact time, and pH 5 (RHS) or pH 6 (RHAC) were obtained up to 91% and 97.88%, respectively. A significant correlation was also detected between increasing contact times and phenol removal for both adsorbents (p < 0.01). The adsorption process for both of the adsorbents was also more compatible with the Langmuir isotherm. The results of this study showed that RHS and RHAC can be considered as natural and inexpensive adsorbents for water treatment.

Autonomous coal fly ash modified by vitriol (H2SO4) was used to treat Phenol Waste Water. The treatment influences were determined by single-factor experiment and the prioritizing importance and optimizing combination of the influences were studied using orthogonal experiment. We found that the prioritizing importance of the influencing factors was as follow: dosage of ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) > dosage of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) > initial concentration of phenol > PH > the dosage of modified coal fly ash. The optimizing combination of the influences was 5 wt.% FeSO4, 1 mL ; 3 wt.%H2O2, 7 mL; PH=5; initial concentration of phenol , 300 mg/L and the dosage of modified coal fly ash, 200 mg/L. Under the condition above, phenol removal rate was 99.46%.

Abstract The purpose of the study is to purify the water containing phenol pollutants. The degradation effect of phenol pollutants in water is studied through the combined action of UV and biomass-activated carbon. First, the phenol solution is prepared in the laboratory to simulate the polluted water. Second, the phenol adsorption effects of UV synergistic biomass activated carbon, biomass activated carbon and ordinary industrial activated carbon under different influencing factors are compared by experiments. Finally, the results are analyzed and the conclusions are drawn. The results show that the UV synergistic biomass activated carbon has the strongest degradation ability for phenol, and the highest removal rate is 66.5% when the shaking time is 65 minutes. The adsorption ability of the industrial activated carbon for phenol is the worst. When the initial concentration of phenol is 25mg/L, the maximum phenol removal rate is 96.8%. The maximum phenol removal rate of biomass activa ted carbon appears in the initial concentration of phenol and the phenol removal rate is 60 mg/L. The reaction temperature has little effect on the phenol removal rate of UV synergistic biomass activated carbon and biomass activated carbon. The phenol removal ability of UV synergistic biomass activated carbon and biomass activated carbon reaches the highest when the dosage of activated carbon is 2.0 g, and the rates are 96.4% and 91.1%, respectively. When the pH of the solution is 7, the removal rate of UV synergistic biomass activated carbon reaches a maximum of 97%. When the pH of the solution is 6, the removal rate of biomass-activated carbon reaches the maximum. When the pH of the ordinary industrial activated carbon is 7, the removal rate is the maximum. Due to different influencing factors, UV synergistic biomass activated carbon has the strongest phenol degradation ability. This study provides a reference for the purification of polluted water.

The synergy between electrochemical oxidation and adsorption on particle electrodes was investigated in three-dimensional (3D) systems for p-nitrosodimethylaniline (RNO) decolorization and pesticide removal. A comparison was made between granular activated carbon (GAC) and a novel synthesized nitrogen-doped graphene-based particle electrode (NCPE). Experiments on RNO decolorization show that the synergy parameter of the 3D-NCPE system was improved 3000 times compared to the studied 3D-GAC system. This was due to the specific nanostructure and composition of the NCPE material. Nitrogen-doped graphene triggered an oxygen reduction reaction, producing hydrogen peroxide that simultaneously catalyzed on iron sites of the NCPEs to hydroxyl radicals following the electro-Fenton (EF) process. Data showed that in the experimental setup used for the study, the applied cell voltage required for the optimal value of the synergy parameter could be lowered to 5V in the 3D-NCPEs process, which is significantly better than the 15–20 V needed for synergy to be found in the 3D-GAC process. Compared to previous studies with 3D-GAC, the removal of pesticides 2,6 dichlorobenzamide (BAM), 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyaceticacid (MCPA), and methylchlorophenoxypropionic acid (MCPP) was also enhanced in the 3D-NCPE system.

Abstract Biomass ashes like rice husk ash (RHA), bagasse fly ash (BFA), were used for aqueous phase removal of a pesticide, diuron. Response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were successfully applied to estimate and optimize the conditions for the maximum diuron adsorption using biomass ashes. The effect of operational parameters such as initial concentration (10–30 mg/L); contact time (0.93–16.07 h) and adsorbent dosage (20–308 mg) on adsorption were studied using central composite design (CCD) matrix. Same design was also employed to gain a training set for ANN. The maximum diuron removal of 88.95 and 99.78% was obtained at initial concentration of 15 mg/L, time of 12 h, RHA dosage of 250 mg and at initial concentration of 14 mg/L, time of 13 h, BFA dosage of 60 mg respectively. Estimation of coefficient of determination (R 2) and mean errors obtained for ANN and RSM (R 2 RHA = 0.976, R 2 BFA = 0.943) proved ANN (R 2 RHA = 0.997, R 2 BFA = 0.982) fits better. By employing RSM coupled with ANN model, the qualitative and quantitative activity relationship of experimental data was visualized in three dimensional spaces. The current approach will be instrumental in providing quick preliminary estimations in process and product development.

Abstract One of the major pollutants in leachate is phenol. Due to safety and environmental problems, removal of phenol from leachate is essential. Most of the adsorption studies have been conducted in batch systems. Practically, large-scale adsorption is carried out in continuous systems. In this research, the adsorption method has been used for phenol removal from leachate by using walnut shell activated carbon (WSA) and coconut shell activated carbon (CSA) as adsorbents in a fixed-bed column. The effect of adsorbent bed depth, influent phenol concentration and type of adsorbent on adsorption was explored. By increasing the depth of the adsorbent bed in the column, phenol removal efficiency and saturation time increase significantly. Also, by increasing the influent concentration, saturation time of the column decreases. To predict the column performance and describe the breakthrough curve, three kinetic models of Yon-Nelson, Adams-Bohart and Thomas were applied. The results of the experiments indicate that there is a good match between the results of the experiment and the predicted results of the models.
