Objectives : This comparative study investigated various methods of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) that were separately conducted for treating raw petroleum refinery effluent regarding chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal.Methods : Fenton, photo-Fenton, TiO2, ZnO, TiO2/Ultra violet (UV), and ZnO/UV were performed individually for measuring the effect of light irradiation, treatment time, pH, catalysts dosage, and light source on the profile of COD values.Results and Discussion : The experimental data of this work showed that the dependency on the light exposure in heterogeneous photo-catalytic reaction using TiO2 and ZnO is higher than that of homogeneous photo-Fenton technique. The optimum operating conditions in heterogeneous system occurred at 100 min of oxidation time, pH 5, and catalyst dosage 1 g/L that resulted in 21.8, 20.68, 60.9, and 55.17% of COD removal for TiO2, ZnO, TiO2/UV, and ZnO/UV, respectively. In contrast, both Fenton and photo-Fenton experienced their highest performance at pH 4 by obtaining 44.2 and 59.77% of COD removal, respectively. Eventually, kinetic study indicated that COD degradation can be well expressed by second-order pattern that reached higher correlation coefficient values by 0.999 and 0.998 for TiO2/UV and TiO2, respectively.Conclusions : Overall, it could be assumed that AOPs are reliable techniques to purify raw and complex raw industrial effluents.

This study compared the amount of catalyst and energy efficiency required for operation of five advanced oxidation processes (Fenton, UV photo-Fenton, solar photo-Fenton, UV/TiO2/H2O2, and FeGAC/H2O2) for degradation of the pesticides chlorpyrifos cypermethrin and chlorothalonil wastewater. Under optimum operating conditions, degradation in terms of COD and TOC removal and biodegradability (BOD5/COD ratio) index (BI) were observed to be (1) Fenton – 69.03% (COD), 55.61% (TOC), and 0.35 (BI); (2) UV photo-Fenton – 78.56% (COD), 63.76% (TOC), and 0.38 (BI); (3) solar photo-Fenton – 74.19% (COD), 58.32% (TOC), and 0.36 (BI); (4) UV/TiO2/H2O2 – 53.62% (COD), 21.54% (TOC), and 0.26 (BI); and (5) FeGAC/H2O2 – 96.19% (COD), 85.60% (TOC), and 0.40 (BI). The cost was $39.9/kg TOC (Fenton), $34.1/kg TOC (UV photo-Fenton), $30.1/kg TOC (solar photo-Fenton), $239/kg TOC (UV/TiO2/H2O2), and $0.74/kg TOC (FeGAC/H2O2). The FeGAC/H2O2 process was found to be most efficient and cost effective for pretreatment of the pesticide wastewater for biological treatment.

Abstract This work investigated the efficiency of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as support material for TiO2 films in the photocatalytic degradation of red Bordeaux and yellow tartrazine dyes. The optimum operating conditions were determined by a factorial design, which resulted after 180 min of treatment in degradations of 99.5% and 99.1% for the UVC/H2O2/TiO2Sup and solar/H2O2/TiO2Sup systems, respectively. For the kinetic study, the experimental data fitted to the pseudo-first-order model and the calculated kinetic constants (k) values were 0.03 min−1 for the UVC/H2O2/TiO2Sup system and 0.0213 min−1 for the system solar/H2O2/TiO2Sup. It was verified that TiO2 supported in the PET remained with high degradation efficiency even after five cycles of reuse, indicating a good stability of the photocatalyst in the support. A significant reduction of TOC content was also observed along the reaction time. The phytotoxicity bioassay with Lactuca sativa demonstrated that after treatment with UVC/H2O2/TiO2Sup and solar/H2O2/TiO2SUP, an increase in IC50 and consequently lower toxicity was observed.

Aniline is widespread in groundwater and of great toxicity. Advanced oxidation processes, such as the ferrous iron (Fe2+)-activated persulfate process, have been proven to be effective for organic pollutants. However, few studies have focused on the effects of coexisting ions on the degradation of aniline. In this study, the degradation efficiency of aniline and the effects of common inorganic ions (CO32−, PO43−, HCO3−, SO42−, NO3−, Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+) on aniline degradation were examined. Under the optimum operating conditions, 86.33% aniline degradation (C0 = 11 mmol/L) was observed within 60 min. The effects of cations on aniline degradation were negligible. Anions decreased the removal efficiency of aniline because of the radicals generated by the reaction between sulfate radical or hydroxyl radical and these anions. As the concentrations of PO43−, CO32−, SO42−, HCO3−, and NO3− increased from 0 mmol/L to 5 mmol/L, the removal efficiency of aniline decreased to 19.72%, 24.56%, 66.76%, 68.76%, and 82.42%, respectively. The order of inhibitory effects was PO43− > CO32− > >SO42− > HCO3− > >NO3−.

Abstract In this study, regeneration of spent granular activated carbon (GAC) with reactive dye by hydroxyl and sulfate radical based advanced oxidation processes (Microwave (MW) + Persulfate (PS)), (Fe(II) + PS), and (O3 + H2O2) were evaluated. The adsorption of the dye to the GAC surface was characterized by chemisorption and Langmuir isotherm. Regeneration processes have been optimized by the Response Surface Methodology to determine the operating conditions that will provide the highest adsorptive capacity. The optimum conditions of (MW + PS), (Fe (II) + PS), and (O3 + H2O2) processes were (process PS anion of 45.52 g/L, pH of 11.4, MW power of 126 W, duration of 14.56 min), ( Fe (II) of 3.58 g/L, PS anion of 73.5 g/L, duration of 59.8 min, pH of 10.9) and (H2O2 of 2.8 mole/L, ozone dose of 98%, duration of 32.8 min, pH of 5.3), respectively. For (MW + PS), (Fe (II) + PS), and (O3 + H2O2) processes, the adsorptive capacity under optimum conditions were found as 4.36, 8.89 and 8.12 mg dye / g GAC respectively. For (Fe (II) + PS) and (O3 + H2O2) processes these values are approximately equal to the adsorptive capacity of raw GAC (8.01 mg dye / g GAC). The predicted values of the adsorption capacities by the obtained models were in good agreement with the actual experimental results. PROMETHEE approach was used in the preference of the appropriate regeneration process. The adsorptive capacity of regenerated GAC, operating cost of the regeneration process, change in the adsorptive capacity during the regeneration cycle and carbon mass loss criteria were taken into account. The order of preference of regeneration processes was determined as (Fe (II) + PS)> (MW + PS)> (O3 + H2O2) considering all criteria.

This work reports hydrotalcite and zinc-substituted hydrotalcite (MeAlLDHs) anionic clays as novel catalytic formulations for some environmental applications regarding specific industrial coloured effluents. In this context, layered double hydroxides, covered or with tailored compositions, were synthesized, characterized using advanced analytical analysis techniques (XRD, FTIR, SEM) and tested in specific environmental applications. More specifically, LDHs samples were tested as catalysts for different treatments of coloured effluents, especially some advanced oxidation processes (i.e.heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes with H2O2of Orange 16 dye-containing effluent). The influence of some operating factors such as catalyst type, concentration of hydrogen peroxide, presence of ferrous ions or UV light, contact time was studied, and the adequate operating values were established. Results show that Orange 16 removal is more than 70%, in specific operating conditions, for two of new tested materials (ZnAlLDH 3:1, and MgAlLDH 3:1). Moreover, the action of UV radiation was found efficient in decomposition of Orange 16 dye in the presence of all four tested catalytic materials, improving with more than 40-50% the color removal.
