Degradation Investigation of Cobalt Tetraferrate/peracetic Acid Synergistic System to Acid Red B: an Effective Strategy for Treating Azo Dye Containing Wastewater
摘要
The advanced peracetic acid (PAA) oxidation technology has a wide application prospect in the field of wastewater treatment for its high efficiency, environmental protection and wide application. In this work, cobalt tetraferrote (CoFe2O4) was used to activate PAA to degrade acid red B. The effects of CoFe2O4 catalyst dosage, PAA concentration, initial pH value and anion on the decolorization efficiency of acid red B were investigated by intermittent single factor experiments. The optimal reaction conditions for the degradation of 0.1 mM acid red B in the CoFe2O4/PAA system were as follows: catalyst dosage of 0.008 g, PAA concentration of 1 mM, and initial pH = 7. After 30 min of reaction, the degradation rate of acid red B reached was as high as 99.5%. The coexistence of CoFe2O4/PAA with low concentrations of anions and humic acid (HA) had negligible effects on the catalysis of acid red B, while the coexistence with higher concentrations of HCO3−, H2PO4− and HA inhibited the degradation behaviors. Quenching experiments confirmed that there were a large amount of R-O• and a small amount of •OH in the CoFe2O4/PAA system, and 1O2 played an important role in the degradation process. After 6 cycles, the catalytic performance of CoFe2O4 remained above 98.6%, showing stable catalytic performance, which were also confirmed by FTIR and XPS. This work provided a new way for effectively treating azo dye containing waste water.
