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.

An Mn/Ce@red mud (RM) catalyst was prepared from RM via a doping–calcination method. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the surface morphology, crystal morphology, and elemental composition of the Mn/Ce@RM catalyst, respectively. In addition, preparation and catalytic ozonation conditions were optimized, and the mechanism of catalytic ozonation was discussed. Lastly, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) was adopted to evaluate the degradation of coal chemical biochemical tail water. The best preparation conditions for the Mn/Ce@RM catalyst were found to be as follows: (1) active component loading of 3%, (2) Mn/Ce doping ratio of 2:1, (3) calcination temperature of 550 °C, (4) calcination time of 240 min, and (5) fly ash floating bead doping of 10%. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate was 76.58% under this preparation condition. The characterization results suggested that the pore structure of the optimized Mn/Ce@RM catalyst was significantly improved. Mn and Ce were successfully loaded on the catalyst in the form of MnO2 and CeO2. The best operating conditions in the study were as follows: (1) reaction time of 80 min, (2) initial pH of 9, (3) ozone dosage of 2.0 g/h, (4) catalyst dosage of 62.5 g/L, and (5) COD removal rate of 84.96%. Mechanism analysis results showed that hydroxyl radicals (•OH) played a leading role in degrading organics in the biochemical tail water, and adsorption of RM and direct oxidation of ozone played a secondary role. FAHP was established on the basis of environmental impact, economic benefit, and energy consumption. Comprehensive evaluation by FAHP demonstrated that D3 (with an ozone dosage of 2.0 g/H, a catalyst dosage of 62.5 g/L, initial pH of 9, reaction time of 80 min, and a COD removal rate of 84.96%) was the best operating condition.

In this paper, aqueous methanol (methanol concentration 1000 mg·l-1) degradation was studied by using UV/Fenton, and effect of methanol degradation was evaluated with COD removal rate. When pH was determined, H2O2 dosage, Fe2+ dosage and reaction time were investigated by single factor test, respectively. In the orthogonal experiment, UV/Fenton was used to deal with wastewater of 1000 mg·l-1methanol, the order of the influent factors on COD removal was: H2O2 dosage > reaction time > Fe2+ content. Under the optimal condition (6%H2O250 ml·l-1, Fe2+ 0.9 g·l-1, reaction time 60 min), 95.77% COD removal rate was obtained. In addition, a comparison of UV, Fenton regent and UV/Fenton system indicated that UV and Fe2+ had synergistic effect on catalytic decomposition of H2O2, and reaction time to obtain the highest COD removal was shorted 10 min when UV/Fenton was used.

Personal care wastewater contains pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). The compounds were in organic pollutants which have to be treated before water can be discharged. Electrochemical processes such as electro-coagulation and electro-oxidation were used to remove non-biodegradable in wastewater. Electro-coagulation as pretreatment using aluminum electrodes as anode and cathode. Electro-oxidation using Ti/Pt, and Ti/IrO2 as anode electrodes and variation of current 0,6 A, 0,7 A, 0,8 A and 1,0 A. Aluminum electrodes has effectiveness in removing COD, and TSS in electrocoagulation. Using aluminum electrodes remove COD, and TSS 76.1% (5.41 g) and 90.3% (6.10 g). Under initial pH, aluminum electrode does not cause a change in pH from initial pH (4.8-4.9). The removal efficiency of electrooxidation process using aluminum electrocoagulation effluent COD using Ti/Pt and Ti/IrO2 were 34,30% (1,55 g) and 39,71% (1,80 g). Increasing current when using Ti/IrO2 causes the COD removal rate to be more effective than using Ti/Pt. removal COD with 1.0 A gave the optimum COD removal were 34,30% (2,3 Ah/L; 1,55 g) with Ti/Pt, and 39,71% (2,3 Ah/L; 1,80 g) with Ti/IrO2 compared to 0,6 A (1,4 Ah/L), 0,7 A (1,6 Ah/L), and 0.8 A (1,9 Ah/L).

The treatment on the secondary biochemical effluent of pulp and paper wastewater by Fenton oxidation was studied and the influence of H2O2dosage, Fe2+dosage, pH and reaction time on the treatment effect was investigated by the orthogonal test and single-factor test. The treatment effect was eminent when the H2O2dosage was 3.75mmol/L, Fe2+dosage was 3.20mmol/L, pH was 4.00 and the reaction time was 80.00min. The removal rate of UV254and chromaticity significantly increased as H2O2dosage was 1.88 ~ 3.75mmol /L, but the COD removal rate declined as H2O2dosage was more than 2.81mmol/L; each removal rate increased and then decreased slightly with the increase of Fe2+dosage, each removal rate dropped obviously as pH was more than 5.00; within 80.00min, the removal rate increased significantly, it changed little with the continuous increase of reaction time. Under the optimal conditions, the COD removal with Fenton oxidation was more effective and its removal rate could achieve 88.33%, it was advantageous compared with ozone oxidation; but the elimination effect of UV254and chromaticity to pulp and paper wastewater with ozone oxidation was better, the two removal rate achieved 83.70% and 92.00% in a short time, respectively. Although it could reach such a removal effect by Fenton oxidation, it did not have the superiority in reaction time.

Abstract A novel iron-carbon (Fe/C) micro-electrolysis combined with H2O2 (ICMH) process was proposed to pretreat the printing and dyeing wastewater (PDW), using a micro-electrolysis filling. The effects of H2O2 concentration, reaction time, initial pH, and Fe/C dosage on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate of PDW were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The maximum COD removal rate was approximately 77.65% after 186 min treatment, when the concentration of H2O2, initial pH and the dosage of Fe/C were 8.88 g/L, 1.5 and 837 g/L, respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a high coefficient of determination value (R2 = 0.9780). And H2O2 concentration and initial pH were the key factors to improve the treatment effect. UV-Vis spectra indicated that a significant blue shift at 220 nm, attributing that fused aromatic hydrocarbons were degraded effectively. 3D-EEM spectra analysis showed that the water samples of PDW mainly contained three kinds of organic matter: refractory fulvic acid, soluble microbial metabolites and aromatic proteins, and the degradation rate of these was 81.76%, 53.78% and 70.83%, respectively.
