Degradation of 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol Using Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron Supported on Ion
Abstract:
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) supported on ion exchange resin was prepared and characterized by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy, with a simple model developed for describing the catalyst. The degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) by hydrogen peroxide using NZVI supported on ion exchange resin as the catalyst, was studied. The results showed that 2,4,6-TCP with a concentration of 1 mmol L(-1) could be well degraded into low molecule weight organic acids in two hours. The optimized condition was as follows: pH, 3.0; temperature, 35 degrees C; catalyst dosage, 1.5 g; and hydrogen peroxide, 0.16 mmol L(-1). The catalyst has good reusability, with no catalytic efficiency decreasing even after ten times recycles. A possible mechanism of 2,4,6-TCP degradation was proposed, based on the products indentified by GC-MS after derived using trimethylsulfonium hydroxide.
