The effects of pH, initial concentration, ozone flow, temperature and semi-coke dosage on 3.5-dinitro-benzoic acid wastewater in the process of carbocoal catalytic ozonation are investigated. The results show that: the removal rate of COD increases with the rise of ozone flow and reaction time in a certain range; temperature has little effect on the removal rate of COD; the removal rate of COD achieve the maximum value when the pH is about 12; the COD removal rate of carbocoal catalytic ozonation is obviously better than single ozonation.
IntorductionWater pollution is one of the major environmental problems our country is facing, the wastewater with nitro compounds does great harm to human, animal and plant, so treating the wastewater with nitro compounds is becoming increasingly important [1]. About removing the organic matter from wastewater using catalytic ozonation, a lot of research about catalyst are limited to the metal oxide and activated carbon, but the metal oxide dissolves out easily, the activated carbon is expensive and losts activity easily during the reaction [2,3,4,5,6].
