Nanometer zinc oxide (ZnO) powders were used as a catalyst to enhance the ozonation for the degradation of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) in aqueous solution. The batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of key factors such as catalyst dosage, ozone dosage, solution pH and tert-butyl alcohol (t-BuOH) on the degradation efficiency of DCAA. Density functional theory (DFT) was ado...

The cerium supported palladium oxide (PdO/CeO(2)) at a low palladium loading was found very effective in catalytic ozonation of oxalate, a probe compound that is difficult to be efficiently degraded in water with hydroxyl radical oxidation and one of the major byproducts in ozonation of organic matter. The oxalate was degraded into CO(2) during the catalytic ozonation. The molar ratio of oxalat...

conclusions according to the results, cop is an efficient and rapid method for removing of toluene from aqueous solutions. results the analysis of variance (anova) of the toluene degradation by cop/mgo nanoparticles showed f-value of 19.53 for the quadratic model indicating that the prepared model is significant. the predicted result showed that maximum degradation of toluene (~99.99%) could be...

Natural estrogens, such as 17beta-estradiol (E2), are the main substances responsible for estrogenic activity found in domestic sewage. In the work described herein, the degradation of E2 has been investigated by single ozonation and catalytic ozonation in the presence of manganese ion (Mn2+) and oxalic acid. The presence of Mn2+ and oxalic acid in the ozonation processes significantly improved...

Catalytic membrane ozonation is a hybrid process that combines filtration and catalytic ozonation. The deposited with an appropriate solid material acts as catalyst. As consequence, the contactor can act simultaneously (i.e., improving transfer/dissolution of gaseous ozone into liquid phase), well reactor oxidizing organic compounds). It be used in water wastewater treatment limiting disadvanta...

as dyes are the most important pollutants of many industrial wastewaters. a large amount of reactive black 5 enters the environment in iran because of the use of this dye in iran's textile industries, so the goal of this study was to survey the catalytic ozonation process with bone char in removal of reactive black 5 dye from synthetic wastewater. in this experimental study bone char (bc) was p...

The Cu/Al2O3 catalyzed ozonation for degrading an endocrine disruptor—alachlor in water was investigated. The Cu/Al2O3 powders were coated on a cordierite honeycomb column, which was taken as the reactor of catalytic ozonation of alachlor. Additional uncatalyzed experiments were carried out and the results were compared to those of the catalytic runs. The experimental results demonstrated that ...

background : metronidazole, as one of the most widely used antibiotics in the world, in addition to various benefits, has significant adverse effects on the environment and animals. the catalytic ozonation process is one of the most successful methods for antibiotics removal. however, it should be noted that this process, like other oxidation processes, has some byproducts that can be toxic in ...

The kinetics and mechanism for degradation of omethoate (OMT) by catalytic ozonation with Fe(III)-loaded activated carbon (Fe@AC) were investigated in this study with focus on identification of degradation byproducts. The rate constants of OMT reacting with ozone and hydroxyl radical ((·)OH) were determined to be 0.04 and 5.3×10(8) M(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.5 and 20 °C, respectively. OMT was predomin...
