Highly efficient degradation of salicylic acid by the Fe-PG UV-assisted activation of H2O2 fluidized bed
Aiming at the difficulty of catalyst recovery in conventional photocatalytic technology and serious residual H2O2 pollution in ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide(UV/H2O2)technology,iron-loaded porous foamed glass(Fe-PG)was prepared by an impregnation method,and it was used in the ultraviolet light-assisted activation of H2O2 fluidized bed to degrade salicylic acid(SA).The results show that under the same experimental conditions,the SA degradation rate,mineralization rate and H2O2 utilization rate by Fe-PG UV-assisted activation of H2O2(UV/H2O2/Fe-PG)fluidized bed process were significantly better than UV/H2O2.Taking operating costs into consideration,the optimal hydraulic residence time(HRT)was 40 min,the optimal H2O2 dosage was 3 mmol·L-1,and the optimal Fe-PG expansion rate was 30%.UV/H2O2/Fe-PG fluidized bed process had a strong tolerance to the initial concentration,pH and salt ions of SA solution.After 30 days of continuous operation,the degradation rate of SA remained above 98%,and the mineralization rate was still as high as 78.1%.The main active substances for the degradation of SA by the UV/H2O2/Fe-PG fluidized bed process were·OH,O2·-and h+,and the degradation process conformed to the first-order kinetics.The research results provide a technical support for the engineering application of photocatalytic-assisted activation of H2O2 fluidized bed technology.
