Abstract Fe-C micro-electrolysis was employed to the pretreatment of evaporated condensate generated during metal cutting process. The effect of the reaction conditions on the contaminant removal and degradation mechanism were studied. Through single-factor experiments, the effects of solid–liquid ratio, gas–liquid ratio and reaction time on the treatment of wastewater were preliminarily determined. The optimal reaction condition obtained was: 500 g/L solid–liquid ratio, 30:1 gas–liquid ratio with 4 h reaction time. Under the optimal condition, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency of micro-electrolysis could reach around 25%, and the biodegradability of wastewater increased from 0.12 to 0.32. According to the analysis results of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) qualitative analysis, it was observed that the most organic contaminants in the influent were degraded or converted into simple structures under Fe-C micro-electrolysis, indicates that Fe-C micro-electrolysis pretreatment could improve the biodegradability of the evaporated condensate generated during metal cutting process and achieve certain degree removal of COD.

Abstract In this study, the treatment of paper industry wastewaters by the electrocoagulation (EC) process with a strong oxidant, persulfate addition, was investigated. Persulfate was activated by dissolution of Fe and Al from electrodes during the process. Central composite design method, being one of the response surface methods, was applied for the optimization of process parameters and the development of a mathematical model for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal from paper industry wastewaters. The effects of S2O8−2/COD ratio, current, pH, and reaction time, being the variables of process, were assessed on the efficiency of contaminant removal. For COD removal in EC processes in which Fe and Al electrodes were used, the model's correlation coefficients (R2) were determined as 90.14% and 87.46%, respectively. As the result of experimental study actualized under optimum conditions determined by the model in order to obtain maximum contaminant removal, COD removal efficiencies were determined as 63.5% and 72.8% respectively for the Fe electrode (S2O8−2/COD ratio: 1.25, current: 4.14 A, pH: 6, and reaction time: 5 minutes), and the Al electrode (S2O8−2/COD ratio: 0.5, current: 4.25 A, pH: 7.25, and reaction time: 25 minutes). Electro-activated persulfate process is an appropriate treatment alternative for COD removal from paper industry wastewaters.

AbstractStatistical design of experiments was used for design and analysis of nickel extraction from hazardous waste. Sulphuric acid leaching of zinc plant residue has been performed for monitoring and evaluating the effects of process factors on the nickel leaching yield. Factorial design was planned first in order to study the effect of six process factors and screen main variables. These factors were reaction time, acid concentration, solid-liquid ratio % (w/v), particle size, stirring speed and reaction temperature. The main factors and their interaction were studied by analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the results showed that the reaction time, acid concentration and solid-liquid ratio were the most significant factors. In the second set of experiments, response surface methodology (RSM) was used for modelling and optimisation of significant factors. Quadratic model was derived for the prediction of nickel extraction. The optimum values for maximum nickel was identified to be a leaching time of 30 min, acid concentration 10% (V/V) and solid liquid ratio of 10%. Using these optimum conditions, more than 94% nickel was extracted. In addition the results of model equation showed a good agreement with the experimental data.

The electrochemical degradation of Methyl Orange in 0.1 M NaCl solution over RuOx–PdO/Ti anode was investigated. Chemical oxygen demand (COD), ion chromatography (IC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were employed to detect the intermediates formed during the electrochemical degradation. In the present reaction system, Methyl Orange could be effectively degraded. After 1 h treatment, the discoloration could reach 97.9% with COD removal of 57.6%. The results indicated that in the presence of chloride, the electrolysis was able to oxidise the dye with partial mineralisation of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur into CO2, NO3− and SO42−, respectively. After 8 h electrolysis, 62% of sulfur contained in Methyl Orange was transformed to SO42−, and 17.6% of nitrogen changed to NO3−. The intermediates during electroprocess were detected to be low molecular weight compounds, chlorinated compounds, derivatives of benzene and long chain alkanes. Based on these data, a possible degradation mechanism of Methyl Orange was proposed.

Abstract Salicylhydroxamic acid is an effective and selective collector for tungsten and molybdenum ores. However, the salicylhydroxamic acid flotation wastewater discharge may cause damage to the water environment for the residual processing reagents with poor biodegradability. Combined O3 and biological aerated filter (BAF) has a well-known potential for removing refractory or toxic organic pollutants. Combined process of O3 and BAF (O3-BAF) was applied to treat the simulated wastewater from W-Mo mineral processing in this study. Compared single ozonation to O3-BAF, various influencing factors were discussed like O3 dosage, reaction time, initial pH value, gas–water ratio and organic loading. Meanwhile, degradation mechanism of salicylhydroxamic acid was reduced. Under the optimal experiment conditions as pH value 8, O3 dosage 1.3 mg·L−1, reaction time 15 min, the five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5)/chemical oxygen demand of potassium dichromate (CODCr) value increased to from 0.19 to 0.35. The effluent was pumped to the following BAF process, when the optimal experiment conditions was organic load = 0.82 kgCODCr (m−3·d−1), gas-water ratio = 6:1, CODCr concentration of effluent was 28.92 mg·L−1 and the removal ratio was 86.26%, while the removal ratio could higher to 91.12% for the O3-BAF combined process. The effluent could meet the discharge and reuse emission standards requirements in China. UV-vis absorption spectra and high performance liquid chromatography showed the degradation pathway of salicylhydroxamic acid by ozone oxidation was salicylhydroxamic acid → salicylic acid + hydroxylamine → catechol → maleic → small molecular organic acid → carbon dioxide + water.

Sulfur-impregnated zeolite has been obtained from the natural zeolite clinoptilolite by chemical modification with Na2S at 150 °C. The purpose of zeolite impregnation was to enhance the sorption of Hg(II) from aqueous solutions. Chemical analysis, acid and basic properties determined by Bohem’s method, chemical behavior at different pHo values, zeta potential, cation-exchange capacity (CEC), specific surface area, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as well as thermogravimetry with derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) were used for detailed comparative mineralogical and physico-chemical characterization of natural and sulfur-impregnated zeolites. Results revealed that the surface of the natural zeolite was successfully impregnated with sulfur species in the form of FeS and CaS. Chemical modification caused an increase in basicity and the net negative surface charge due to an increase in oxygen-containing functional groups as well as a decrease in specific surface area and crystallinity due to the formation of sulfur-containing clusters at the zeolite surface. The sorption of Hg(II) species onto the sulfur-impregnated zeolite was affected by the pH, solid/liquid ratio, initial Hg(II) concentration, and contact time. The optimal sorption conditions were determined as pH 2, a solid/liquid ratio of 10 g/L, and a contact time of 800 min. The maximum obtained sorption capacity of the sulfur-impregnated zeolite toward Hg(II) was 1.02 mmol/g. The sorption mechanism of Hg(II) onto the sulfur-impregnated zeolite involves electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, and surface complexation, accompanied by co-precipitation of Hg(II) in the form of HgS. It was found that sulfur-impregnation enhanced the sorption of Hg(II) by 3.6 times compared to the natural zeolite. The leaching test indicated the retention of Hg(II) in the zeolite structure over a wide pH range, making this sulfur-impregnated sorbent a promising material for the remediation of a mercury-polluted environment.

Salicylic hydroxamic acid is a novel flotation reagent used in mineral processing. However, it impacts the flotation wastewater leaving behind high chromaticity which limits its reuse and affects discharge for mining enterprises. This study researched ozonation catalyzed by the granular activated carbon (GAC) method to treat the chromaticity of the simulated mineral processing wastewater with salicylic hydroxamic acid. The effects of pH value, ozone (O3) concentration, GAC dosage, and reaction time on chromaticity and chemical oxygen demand (CODCr) removal were discussed. The results of individual ozonation experiments showed that the chromaticity removal ratio reached 79% and the effluent chromaticity exceeded the requirement of reuse and discharge when the optimal experimental conditions were pH value 3, ozone concentration 6 mg/L, and reaction time 40 min. The orthogonal experimental results of catalytic ozonation with GAC on chromaticity removal explained that the chromaticity removal ratio could reach 96.36% and the chromaticity of effluent was only 20 when the optimal level of experimental parameters was pH value 2.87, O3 concentration 6 mg/L, GAC dosage 0.06 g/L, reaction time 60 min respectively. The degradation pathway of salicylic hydroxamic acid by ozonation was also considered based on an analysis with ultraviolet absorption spectrum and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
