Abstract
In normal Fenton's reagent, the reductive mechanism of carbon tetrachloride (CT) with superoxide radical (${O_2}^-$.) was observed and the rate of ${O_2}^-$. production was investigated as a function of $H_2O$$_2$ concentration and pH. As pH was increased, the rate of 1-hexanol degradation was rapidly decreased from 90% (at pH 3) to 5% (at pH 11). On the other hand, more degradation of carbon tetrachloride was observed at higher pH regimes indicating Fenton's reaction is an oxidant-reductant co-existing system at neutral pHs. The rate of $O_2^{-}$ . production was observed at different $H_2$$O_2$ concentrations and at different pHs. The rate increased from (45.3$\pm$7.8) x $10^{-6}$ M/s to (151.0$\pm$26.2) x $10^{-6}$ M/s ($294mM H_2$$O_2$) at pH 11: the rate 3150 increased from (22.1$\pm$3.8) x $10^{-6}$ M/s at pH 7 to (151.0$\pm$26.2) x $^10{-6}$ M/s at pH 11 with 294mM $H_2$$O_2$, These results showed that Fenton's reagent could be applied at wide pH regimes. Especially, carbon tetrachloride, which can not be easily adsorbed to soils and then can be dissolved into groundwater causing a cancer, could be efficiently treated by Fenton's reagent.reagent.
