Study on the oxidation of aromatic nitro compounds by Fenton reagent
Through the tests of the effects of Fenton reagent oxidation on COD of aromatic nitro compound solutions, and the optimum conditions for the oxidation of aromatic nitro compounds by Fenton reagent was studied, and COD in aromatic nitro compounds solutions before and after oxidation was compared. The test chemicals of study were nitrobenzene, nitrophenol, nitro chlorobenzene. The results showed that Fenton reagent could be used to effectively oxidize aromatic nitro compounds and COD removal rate reached more than 60%. The capacity of Fenton reagent to oxidize aromatic nitro compounds was arranged in a sequence from large to small: nitrophenol, nitrobenzene, nitro chlorobenzene.
