Abstract:
FeGAC/H2O2 process was developed and employed in this research for the treatment of acid back 24. The removal efficiencies of five treatment processes (GAC, FeGAC, H2O2, GAC/H2O2, and FeGAC/H2O2) were studied in this research. The adsorption capacity of granular activated carbon (GAC) was greatly improved by the coating of iron oxide on GAC surface (FeGAC). The presence of H2O2 significantly improved the removal abilities of FeGAC and GAC. For instance, at solution pH 2, the removal efficiency of FeGAC/H2O2, GAC/H2O2, H2O2, FeGAC, and GAC were 76, 74, 59, 11, and 7%, respectively. The possible removal mechanisms of FeGAC/H2O2 process were proposed in this research. When treating the actual dye contaminated wastewater, the removal efficiencies of FeGAC/H2O2 and GAC/H2O2 were approximately six times greater than that of H2O2 process.

Oxidations of Aldehydes and Ketones to Carboxylic Acids
Aldehydes readily undergo oxidation in strong oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate and chromic acid. The oxidation can also be carried out using mild oxidizing agents such as silver oxide. In fact, aldehydes can be easily oxidized...

Acid Halides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic acid...

Esters to Carboxylic Acids: Acid-Catalyzed Hydrolysis
During hydrolysis, the ester is first activated towards nucleophilic attack through the protonation of the carboxyl oxygen atom by the acid catalyst. The protonation makes the ester carbonyl carbon more electrophilic. In the next step, water acts as a nucleophile and adds to the...
