Dissolution of pyrite by chemical oxidation and bioleaching were studied with using short-term batch experiments. The results show that the rate of oxidative dissolution of pyrite increases with the increasing concentration of ferric in ferric sulfate solutions. With the corresponding in the bioleaching, the leaching rate of pyrite is markedly affected by the Eh of the solution. The ferric/ferrous ratio controls the relative rate of the oxidation reactions involved in the process. Additionally, the leaching rate of pyrite is controlled by the pH. The phase analysis of products indicated that S2- 2oxidation can produce S0 and SO2- 4under these conditions. On the basis of predecessors and using these species，the simplest expected oxidation mechanism is S2O2- 3regarded as the intermediate mechanism during the oxidation process.

AbstractPolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were added to certain marine vessel bottom paints as a plasticizer to improve the adhesion and durability of the paint. The most common PCB formulation used to amend such paints was Aroclor 1254. Fugitive Aroclor-containing paint chips generated from vessel maintenance and repair operations represent a potential source of PCB contamination to sediments. Limited published studies indicate that Aroclor-containing paint is largely inert and exhibits low PCB leaching into water; however, the rate and degree of leaching of PCBs from paint chips have not been directly studied. This laboratory-based study evaluated the rate and extent of leaching of PCBs from paint chips into freshwater. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the rate of PCB dissolution from paint chips decreased rapidly and exponentially over time. Based on this study, it is estimated that the rate of leaching of PCBs from paint chips would cease after approximately 3 years of exposure to water. When all leachable PCBs were exhausted, it is estimated that less than 1% of the mass of PCBs in the paint chips was amenable to dissolution. The results of this experiment suggest that Aroclor-containing paint chips found in sediments are likely short-term sources of dissolved-phase PCB to pore or surface waters and that the majority of the PCBs in paint chips remain in the paint matrix and unavailable for partitioning into water.

Model Account

Formulae were derived to predict genetic response under various selection schemes assuming an infinitesimal model. Account was taken of genetic drift, gametic (linkage) disequilibrium (Bulmer effect), inbreeding depression, common environmental variance, and both initial segregating variance within families (σAW02) and mutational (σM2) variance. The cumulative response to selection until generation t(CRt) can be approximated asCRt≈R0[t−β(1−σAW∞2σAW02)t24Ne]−Dt2Ne,where Ne is the effective population size, σAW∞2=NeσM2 is the genetic variance within families at the steady state (or one-half the genic variance, which is unaffected by selection), and D is the inbreeding depression per unit of inbreeding. R  0 is the selection response at generation 0 assuming preselection so that the linkage disequilibrium effect has stabilized. β is the derivative of the logarithm of the asymptotic response with respect to the logarithm of the within-family genetic variance, i.e., their relative rate of change. R  0 is the major determinant of the short term selection response, but σM2, Ne and β are also important for the long term. A selection method of high accuracy using family information gives a small Ne and will lead to a larger response in the short term and a smaller response in the long term, utilizing mutation less efficiently.

Lead Dioxide Anode

Lead dioxide is a strong oxidizer in sulfuric acid, consequently electrochemical oxidation of solution species at a lead dioxide anode may occur by a two-step, C-E process (chemical oxidation of solution species by PbO2 followed by electrochemical regeneration of the reduced lead dioxide surface). The maximum rate of each step has been determined in sulfuric acid for specified lead dioxide surfaces and compared with the rates observed for the electrochemical oxidation of cerium(III) and manganese(II) on the same electrode surfaces. While the rate of electrochemical oxidation of a partially reduced PbO2 surface may be sufficient to support the observed rates of CeIII and MnII oxidation at the lead dioxide anode, the rate of chemical reaction between PbO2 and the reducing species is not. Hence it is concluded that the lead dioxide electrode functions as a simple, 'inert' electron-transfer agent during the electrochemical oxidation of CellI and MnII in sulfuric acid. In general, it will most probably be the rate of the chemical step which determines the feasibility or otherwise of the C-E mechanism.

The collapsing phenomenon of cavitation bubbles generates extremely high local pressures and temperatures that can be utilized for the chemical oxidation process. This process is carried out in cavitation reactors. A Venturi tube is one of the most common forms of hydrodynamic cavitation reactors, which is suitable for industrial scale applications. In this work, the hydraulic performance and efficiency in chemical reaction of a new form of hydrodynamic cavitation reactors, which is called “tandem Venturi,” were studied and compared with the conventional type of the single Venturi. The tandem Venturi is used for enhancement of the chemical reaction of hydrodynamic cavitating flow. The reaction enhancement is useful especially for the reaction of aqueous solutions not containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The operating pressure, inlet pressure, flow rate, and consequently the cavitation number were controlled and systematically varied for both single and tandem Venturis. Moreover, a specified amount of H2O2 was injected into the flow as required. The effects of operating pressure and the cavitation number on cavitating flow characteristics for single and tandem Venturis were experimentally observed and the results were compared. In addition, the performance of the tandem-Venturi reactor for degradation of non-VOC contaminants (2-chlorophenol) was studied. Its performance was compared with the performance of a conventional Venturi reactor. Two different categories were conducted for the experiments. In the first category, the effect of the net cavitating flow on degradation of non-VOC for the single and tandem Venturis was compared. In the second category, the effect of H2O2 injection into the cavitating flow on degradation of non-VOC (“cavitation-oxidation” process) was studied. The performance of the single and tandem Venturis for the cavitation-oxidation process was compared. Further investigation was performed to assess the advantage of utilizing the tandem Venturi from the viewpoint of efficiency of the oxidation process. The results of the energy efficiency were compared with the corresponding efficiency of the single Venturi. Finally, the relationship between the main parameters of cavitation reaction flow with the chemical performance was discussed.

The oxidation mechanism of diethyl ethers by NO2was carried out using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31+G (d, p) level. The oxidation process of ether follows four steps. First, the diethyl ether reacts with NO2to produce HNO2and diethyl ether radical with an energy barrier of 20.62 kcal ⋅ mol-1. Then, the diethyl ether radical formed in the first step directly combines with NO2to form CH3CH ( ONO ) OCH2CH3. In the third step, the CH3CH ( ONO ) OCH2CH3was further decomposed into the CH3CH2ONO and CH3CHO with a moderately high energy barrier of 32.87 kcal ⋅ mol-1. Finally, the CH3CH2ONO continues to react with NO2to yield CH3CHO , HNO2and NO with an energy barrier of 28.13 kcal ⋅ mol-1. The calculated oxidation mechanism agrees well with Nishiguchi and Okamoto's experiment and proposal.

YFeO3-δ (δ = 0.26) and LaFeO3-δ (δ = 0.5) perovskites with a high specific surface and oxygen non-stoichiometry was firstly synthesized by pyrolysis of polymer-salt compositions. It was shown that the catalytic oxidation of carbon in the presence of these complex oxide systems proceeds in the range of 400 - 700 °С, with a maximum temperature at 556 °С for YFeO3-δ; and 380 - 620 °С ,with a maximum temperature at 501 °С for LaFeO3-δ, in one-stage mode for both. By means of thermal analysis and diffractometry, it was shown that there is no contribution to the soot oxidation mechanism by cyclic perovskite surface transformations, due to the reduction of metal oxides by the soot and their subsequent reoxidation. It has been established that the basis of the catalytic reaction mechanism for both perovskites is the presence of oxygen vacancies on the surface of complex oxides.

ABSTRACTThe surface-front oxidation mechanism of iron was investigated by time-resolved, glancingangle Fe K-edge fluorescence EXAFS measurements at various oxidation temperatures of 200-700 C. The glancing angle was chosen according to the depth of the oxide layer, roughly 1500-2000A. The oxidation behavior under rapid heating(up to 600°C within 10 minutes) was compared with the slowly heated oxidation process using the Quick-EXAFS measurements. In the slowly heated process, Fe3O4 was the dominating phase at a relatively low temperature (300-400 C) initially. However, at a relatively high temperature (above 600°C), the Fe2O3 and FeO crystalline phases are gradually enriched as the successive oxidation process involving intrusive oxygen proceeded. Remarkably under a prolonged heat treatment above 600°C, the stable FeO phase that exists in a deep-lying interface structure and Fe2O3 phase eventually dominates the thick front-surface structure. In a quickly heated process, however, Fe3O4 phase is less dominating, which is contradictory to the commonly accepted oxidation models. The EXAFS results are discussed in conjunction with the x-ray diffraction features under the same heat treatment conditions.

Abstract Dye wastewater is one of typically non-biodegradable industrial effluents. A new process linking Fenton’s oxidation with biological oxidation proposed in this study was investigated to degrade the organic substances from real dye wastewater. During the combination process, the Fenton’s oxidation process can reduce the organic load and enhance biodegradability of dye wastewater, which is followed by biological aerated filter (BAF) system to further remove organic substances in terms of discharge requirement. The results showed that 97.6% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal by the combination process was achieved at the optimum process parameters: pH of 3.5, H2O2 of 2.0 mL/L, Fe(II) of 500 mg/L, 2.0 h treatment time in the Fenton’s oxidation process and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 5 h in the BAF system. Under these conditions, COD concentration of effluent was 72.6 mg/L whereas 3020 mg/L in the influent, thus meeting the requirement of treated dye wastewater discharge performed by Chinese government (less than 100 mg/L). These results obtained here suggest that the new process combining Fenton’s oxidation with biological oxidation may provide an economical and effective alternative for treatment of non-biodegradable industrial wastewater.

Objective:This study proposed the simultaneous multi-oxidation of total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and total phosphorous using modified wet chemical oxidation method.Methods:The multi oxidation process was based on the dual radical system with sulfate and hydroxyl radicals. The sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were activated at 40℃ and UV irradiation with 254 nm to generate the sulfate radical and hydroxyl radical. The organic matters were oxidized by the dual radicals, and TOC, TN, and TP values were compared with the control group.Results and Discussion:The dual radical system oxidized organic carbon to carbon dioxide effectively, and the TOC values were similar to the value obtained from the high-temperature combustion technique. However, the residual persulfate after oxidation process interfered the absorbance for TN and inhibit the complexation in TP measurement. The residual persulfate was effectively converted to sulfate by longer heating and UV irradiation, and the interferences were more sensitive to reaction temperature than UV irradiation time. As a result, a higher temperature condition was more effective and enhanced the applicability of multi-oxidation.Conclusions:The multi oxidation of TOC, TN, and TP was demonstrated by wet chemical oxidation, and the proposed method is expected to secure the sample and reduce the analytic time. However, the more suitable condition to enhance the accuracy of TOC, TN, and TP in the multi-oxidation system should be studied further.

Thermal oxidation of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers was accomplished at temperatures up to 250°C for different oxidation times. Chemical integration of PAN fibers with an aqueous solution of ammonium persulfate was performed before starting thermal oxidation. The results recommend that ammonium persulfate integration enhanced the oxidation reactions of the PAN fibers and resulting in enhanced thermal stability. Ammonium persulfate impregnation followed by the oxidation process in the air environment leads to significant deviations in the characteristics of PAN fibers. To perform structural characterization of the raw and ammonium persulfate (APS) incorporated and stabilized samples, XRD, IR-spectroscopy, TGA was executed in this study. Investigation of the XRD and infrared spectroscopy outcomes recommended quick aromatization reactions with growing oxidation periods. The TGA traces indicated a comparative enhancement in the thermal stability of the PAN fibers by the increased carbon yield with the rise of the oxidation time. The overall findings recommend that ammonium persulfate incorporation was very influential in stimulating the oxidation process.
