Oxidation of aromatic compounds with UV radiation/ozone/hydrogen peroxide

Abstract: A large variety of organic and inorganic compounds may be found in wastewater. Among these compounds, aromatics are characterized by their high toxicity and very low degradability by conventional treatments. This paper presents the results of an investigation about the oxidation of two substituted benzenes in a semi-batch reactor: phenol, substituted with an electron-donating group (-OH), and benzoic acid substituted with an electron- withdrawing group (-COOH). The advanced oxidation processes s… Show more

“…Because of the high cost of ozone generation, this combination makes the process economically feasible [50]. Several factors limit the usefulness of the peroxonation process such as important energetic consumption, low water solubility of ozone, and its sensitivity to several factors [51].…”

“…This method is considered to be the most effective and powerful method, which provides a fast and complete mineralization of pollutants [42,50]. The addition of H 2 O 2 to the O 3 /UV process accelerates the decomposition of ozone, which results in an increased rate of ·OH generation.…”

“…Buehler et al, 1984;Gonzalez et aI., 1997;Ko et aI., 2000;Magi et aI., 1997;Mokrini et al, 1997;Munoz etal., 2000Munoz etal., , 2001Spanggord et al, 2000;Staehlin and Hoigne, 1982;Staehlin et al, 1984;Weavers et al, 1998). The complexity of aqueous phase ozonation is revealed by decomposition rate laws that vary between '/2, 1st and 2nd order in ozone depending on the initiation rate and water purity (Staehlin and Hoigne, 1985).…”

“…These results, presented together with the 2,5-DHBA yield following reaction with OH are shown in Figure 7. Mokrini et al (1997) proposed that in neutral and basic solution, benzoic acid is oxidised by ozone via a free-radical pathway but in acidic solution direct attack by molecular ozone predominates. A sampling pH of 4.6 was chosen for further studies since this reduces the interference due to ozone while maintaining a high 2,5-DHBA yield following reaction with OH.…”

“…In this process, hydroxyl radicals generated from the direct photolysis of hydrogen peroxide were the main responsible species of phenol elimination. However hydrogen peroxide also reacts with these radicals and hence acts as an inhibiting agent of phenol degradation [11]. As can be deduced from Fig.…”
