Abstract [en]

The role of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) and effect of solution matrix have been investigated for the degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE). Zeolite-supported nano iron (Z-nZVI) was synthesized as an activator to catalyze sodium percarbonate (SPC) with or without hydroxylamine, i.e. as reducing agent (RA). The probe tests confirmed the generation of OH·and O2−· in the Z-nZVI activated SPC system in absence of the RA, while the presence of RA significantly increased the generation of OH· and O2−· radicals. Scavenger tests demonstrated that OH· was the main ROS responsible for TCE degradation, whereas O2−· also participated in TCE degradation. From the solution matrix perspective, the experimental results confirmed significant scavenging effects of Cl− (1.0, 10.0, and 100 mmol L−1) and HCO3− (1.0 and 10.0 mmol L−1), whereas the scavenging effects were fairly impeded at 100 mmol L−1concentration of HCO3−. On the other hand, a considerable decline in scavenging effect was observed in the presence of RA in tested Cl− and HCO3− concentration ranges. In addition, negligible scavenging effects of NO3− and SO42− anions were found in all tested concentrations. The effect of initial solution pH on catalytic activity indicated a significant increase in the TCE degradation in the presence of RA even at higher pH value of 9. The results indicated that the Z-nZVI activated SPC system in presence of RA can effectively degrade chlorinated organic solvents, but it is important to consider the intensive existence of anions in groundwater.
