Different conditions of RH and temperature inside the photoreactor were used. BaP preliminarily adsorbed on LX paint surface was decomposed faster at higher temperature and lower RH. For example, at 42 °C and RH 20 % BaP decomposition rate reached 64 %. At same temperature and with RH of 80 % this rate decreased to only 42 %. It was also demonstrated that at high RH (80 %) and under UV irradiation water contact angle on the paint surface was decreasing at a lower rate than under RH of 20 %. It was also proven that BaP could be sufficiently decomposed under irradiation by fluorescent lamp (59 % in comparison to 64 % under same environmental conditions with use of UV light).

The increased B/C value illustrated that the biodegradability of the wastewater improved significantly after the wet oxidation process.

During the inquiry, several aqueous samples with aniline concentrations of 25, 50, 75, 100 and 200 mg/L were irradiated for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 h, respectively, by a 60Co source with an absorbed dose rate of 0.78 kGy/h at the core channel. After the testing, the project authors scrutinized the aqueous samples to determine the effects of their irradiation by analyzing the pH, the hydroxyl radical and the H2O2 of the individual initial concentrations. The findings showed that gamma irradiation is effective in removing aniline from aqueous solutions and, in the process, tends to remove the chemical oxygen demand (COD). Among other findings, the tests revealed that at a 25 mg/L aniline concentration, up to 100 % removal is possible after only 5 h of exposure. The authors explained that kinetic studies have shown that the degradation of aniline follows a pseudo first-order reaction. They have also shown that pH plays a significant role in aniline-removal efficiency. The tests in this study revealed that with a dose of 7.8 kGy, the removal efficiency of COD in an alkaline environment is higher than that of an acidic environment. With the absorbed dose increases, the authors learned that an acidic environment is helpful for the removal efficiency of COD. They also found that by adding 50 g/L of sodium bicarbonate as the hydroxyl radical scavenger, there was an 8 % decrease in the removal efficiency of COD at the absorbed dose of 23.4 kGy. This indicates the importance of using a hydroxyl radical in the gamma irradiation process. Also, a 1 g/L H2O2 addition increases the COD removal rate from 31 % to 55 %. This percentage-point jump shows a synergistic effect in the use of gamma irradiation. The authors also identified several major decomposition products by GC/MS which are useful in the radiation-induced degradation of aniline by gamma irradiation process. Finally, they present proposals of possible pathways for successful aniline decomposition.","PeriodicalId":14870,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Oxidation Technologies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86520912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to evaluate UV-C/H2O2 and UV-C/S2O82– processes for treating seven pesticides listed as priority substances (PS-Ps) within the EU Water Framework directive; alachlor, atrazine, chlorfenvinphos, cybutryne, diuron, isoproturon and simazine. The influence of pH and pollutant/oxidant ratio ([PS-P]:[OX]) on the degradation kinetics was evaluated using full factorial plan and response surface modeling. The degradation of PS-Ps by both photooxidation processes obeyed first-order kinetics. Degradation kinetics of PS-Ps is highly depended on [PS-P]: [OX], while pH has minor significance, particularly in UV-C /S2O82– process. In most cases degradation kinetics by UV-C /S2O82– was several times faster in comparison to UV-C /H2O2 process. In addition, the inhibitory influence of NOM on the degradation of PSs in the mixture was determined.","PeriodicalId":14870,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Oxidation Technologies","volume":"140 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79957430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of doping mass fraction of Er3+:Y3Al5O12, Co and N inTiO2-based films and reaction temperature on degradation rates were studied. The optimal doping mass fraction of Er3+: Y3Al5O12, Co and N were 1.81 %, 2.01 %, and 12.03 % respectively at 20 °C. The model of the reaction rate constants of sonocatalytic degradation of Acid Orange 7 by Co/N/Er3+: Y3Al5O12/TiO2 films were fitted. The errors between the model values and the experimental results were all less than 15 %. So the models could be used to estimate the degradation rate and concentration of Acid Orange 7 and provide theoretical basis for the design of catalytic reaction.","PeriodicalId":14870,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Oxidation Technologies","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81313090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fate of this highly recalcitrant pollutant and its by-product of incomplete degradation in water is of great concern due to the hazardous effects usually associated to pesticides. In the present manuscript, imidacloprid degradation by hydroxyl radical produced in-situ by conventional Fenton process is discussed. Furthermore, it has been studied the influence of propylene glycol, which is a usual excipient found in the commercial pesticides containing imidacloprid, on the conventional Fenton process performance. A two-stage degradation kinetics was observed: (i) a rapid initial decay on the first 5 min of treatment, followed by (ii) a slower kinetics defined by the Fenton-like reaction of Fe2+ catalyst regeneration. The influence of several variables on the abatement of imidacloprid such Fe2+ and H2O2 initial concentration or propylene glycol ratios have been evaluated. Experimental results demonstrate that complete imidacloprid abatement is attained under optimal conditions of 8.0 mM of H2O2 and 0.8 mM of Fe2+ after 120 min of treatment at acidic pH. However, increasing concentrations of propylene glycol diminishes the overall performance due to the competitive consumption of hydroxyl radicals.","PeriodicalId":14870,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Oxidation Technologies","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87581984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
