For the RhB removal from the wastewater, electrochemical method was adapted to this study. Three dimensionally stable anode (Pt, Ir and Ru) and graphite and Ru cathode were used. In order to identify decolorization, the effects of electrode, current density, electrolyte and air flow rate were investigated. The effects of electrode material, current, electrolyte concentration and air flow rate were investigated on the decolorization of RhB. Electro-Fenton's reaction was evaluated by added $Fe^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$ generated by the graphite cathode. Performance for RhB decolorization of the four electrode systems lay in: Ru-graphite > Ru-Ru > Ir-graphite > Pt-graphite. A complete color removal was obtained for RhB (30 mg/L) at the end of 30 min of electrolysis under optimum operations of 2 g/L NaCl concentration and 2 A current. $Fe^{2+}$ addition increased initial reaction and decreased final RhB concentration. However the effect was not high.

Membrane modification by different concentrations of acrylic acid has been described. Grafting of acrylic acid to the surface of a polypropylene membrane was obtained by a Fenton-type reaction. Membrane permeability seemed to have been dependent on the value of pH in the solution. To explain tendency, a simple theoretical model was developed. The model incorporates explicitly statistical conformations of a polyacid chain grafted onto the pore surface. The charged capillary model with a varying diameter for porous membranes was then used to evaluate the permeability of the membrane. It has been shown both theoretically and experimentally that the permeability of a grafted membrane depends on the pH of the solution.

Reduced forms of iron, such as zero-valent ion (ZVI) and ferrous ion (Fe[II]), can activate dissolved oxygen in water into reactive oxidants capable of oxidative water treatment. The corrosion of ZVI (or the oxidation of (Fe[II]) forms a hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) intermediate and the subsequent Fenton reaction generates reactive oxidants such as hydroxyl radical ($^{\bullet}OH$) and ferryl ion (Fe[IV]). However, the production of reactive oxidants is limited by multiple factors that restrict the electron transfer from iron to oxygen or that lead the reaction of $H_2O_2$ to undesired pathways. Several efforts have been made to enhance the production of reactive oxidants by iron-induced oxygen activation, such as the use of iron-chelating agents, electron-shuttles, and surface modification on ZVI. This article reviews the chemistry of oxygen activation by ZVI and Fe(II) and its application in oxidative degradation of organic contaminants. Also discussed are the issues which require further investigation to better understand the chemistry and develop practical environmental technologies.

A UVC photo-Fenton advanced oxidation process (AOP) was studied to develop a process for the decomposition of oxalic acid waste generated in the chemical decontamination of nuclear power plants. The oxalate decomposition behavior was investigated by using a UVC photo-Fenton reactor system with a recirculation tank. The effects of the three operational variables-UVC irradiation, H₂O₂ and Fenton reagent-on the oxalate decomposition behavior were experimentally studied, and the behavior of the decomposition product, CO₂, was observed. UVC irradiation of oxalate resulted in vigorous CO₂ bubbling, and the irradiation dose was thought to be a rate-determining variable. Based on the above results, the oxalate decomposition kinetics were investigated from the viewpoint of radical formation, propagation, and termination reactions. The proposed UVC irradiation density model, expressed by the first-order reaction of oxalate with the same amount of H₂O₂ consumption, satisfactorily predicted the oxalate decomposition behavior, irrespective of the circulate rate in the reactor system within the experimental range.

본 연구에서는 modified Fenton 공정에서 Fe(II)과 Fe(III)에 대한 유 무기 착제의 효율성 평가를 위해 BTEX(benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) 분해효율을 관찰하였다. 적용된 유 무기착제의 종류는 구연산과 피로인산을 선정하였다. Fe(III)과 구연산이 적용되어진 modified Fenton 공정에서, 구연산의 농도가 증가할수록 BTEX의 분해율이 감소하였지만, 피로인산의 경우에는 농도가 증가할수록 BTEX의 분해율이 증가하였다. 또한 Fe(III)이 적용되어진 modified Fenton 공정에서 무기착제인 피로인산이 적용되어진 경우, 유기착제인 구연산이 적용되어진 경우보다 상대적으로 높은 BTEX의 분해율을 나타내었다. Fe(II)에 유 무기 착제가 적용되어진 modified Fenton 공정을 비교한 결과, Fe(II)과 구연산의 몰비가 1:1일 때 pH 변화를 최소화시킴과 동시에 BTEX의 높은 분해율을 보였다. 결과적으로 과산화수소의 효율성, 철 침전물 생성여부, 오염물질 분해율 등이 고려되어질 때, 100 ppm의 벤젠분해를 위한 최적 Fe(II), 구연산 그리고 과산화수소의 농도 조건은 7 mM/7 mM/500 mM였다.

본 연구에서는 펜톤반응, 광반응, 그리고 Fe$^{2+}$와 UV의 조합반응을 이용하여 항균제이면서 신종오염물질 중의 하나인 Triclosan (TCS)에 대한 분해 메커니즘을 해석하였다. 결과에 의하면 Fe$^{2+}$의 산화율은 $H_2O_2$와 UV-C에서 각각 30%와 28%로 차이를 보이지 않은 반면 UV-A의 경우 15%로 차이를 보였다. TCS의 초기 분해속도는 광반응(UV-C > UV-A)이 Fe$^{2+}$와 UV 조합반응과 펜톤 반응보다 높았으나 반응시간의 경과와 함께 Fe$^{2+}$가 포함된 조합반응에서의 분해속도 증가가 관찰되었다. 또한 반응중 메탄올의 첨가에 의해 모든 반응에서 영향을 받았고 펜톤반응의 경우 20분 동안 분해효율 90%에서 5%로 급감되었다. 이온성 부산물인 Cl$^-$의 생성율은 Fe$^{2+}$와 UV-C 조합반응에서 가장 높았으며(77% / 150 min) 메탄올이 첨가된 반응 초기에서는(15 min) 12%의 Cl$^-$ 생성을 보인반면 다른 반응들은 무시할 수준($\leq$2%)이었다. TOC의 제거 역시 Fe$^{2+}$와 UV-C의 조합반응에서 가장 높았으며 펜톤반응, Fe$^{2+}$와 UV-A 조합반응, UV-C 광반응, 그리고 UV-A의 광반응 순으로 낮았다. 그러나 펜톤반응의 경우 90분 후 부터는 반응이 거의 중지되는 것이 관찰되었는데 이는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 Fe$^{2+}$의 산화반응이 중지되었기 때문이다. 이에 반해 Fe$^{2+}$와 UV의 조합공정에서 반응은 지속되었다. 또한 초기 Cl$^-$ 생성은 Fe$^{2+}$와 UV-C의 조합반응에서 환원반응에 의한 TCS의 분해메커니즘을 가지고 있다고 할 수 있다. 환원에 의한 분해는 할로겐화유기화합물의 무기화에 매우 유리하므로 TCS의 대안적 처리방법으로 UV-C와 Fe$^{2+}$의 조합반응은 적용가능하다.

This study was carried out to apply some basic physical and chemical treatment options including Fenton's oxidation, and to evaluate the performances and the characteristics of organic and nitrogen removal using lab-scale biological treatment system such as complete-mixing activated sludge and sequencing batch reactor(SBR) processes for the treatment of leachate from a municipal waste landfill in Gyeongnam province. The results were as follows: Chemical coagulation experiments using aluminium sulfate, ferrous sulfate and ferric chloride resulted in leachate CO $D_{Cr}$ removal of 32%, 23% and 21 % with optimum reaction dose ranges of 10,000～15,000 mg/$\ell$, 1,000 mg/$\ell$ and 500～2,000 mg/$\ell$, respectively. Fenton's oxidation required the optimum conditions including pH 3.5, 6 hours of reaction time, and hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate concentrations of 2,000 ～ 3,000 mg/$\ell$ each with 1:1 weight ratio to remove more than 50% of COD in the leachate containing CO $D_{Cr}$ between 2,000 ～ 3,000 mg/$\ell$. Air-stripping achieved to remove more than 97% of N $H_3$-N in the leachate in spite of requiring high cost of chemicals and extensive stripping time, and, however, zeolite treatment removing 94% of N $H_3$-N showed high selectivity to N $H^{+}$ ion and much faster removal rate than air-stripping. The result from lab-scale experiment using a complete-mixing activated sludge process showed that biological treatability tended to increase more or less as HRT increased or F/M ratio decreased, and, however, COD removal efficiency was very poor by showing only 36% at HRT of 29 days. While COD removal was achieved more during Fenton's oxidation as compared to alum treatment for the landfill leachate, the ratio of BOD/COD after Fenton's oxidation considerably increased, and the consecutive activated sludge process significantly reduced organic strength to remove 50% of CO $D_{Cr}$ and 95% of BO $D_{5}$ . The SBR process was generally more capable of removing organics and nitrogen in the leachate than complete-mixing activated sludge process to achieve 74% removal of influent CO $D_{Cr}$ , 98% of BO $D_{5}$ and especially 99% of N $H_3$-N. However, organic removal rates of the SBR processes pre-treated with air-stripping and with zeolite were not much different with those without pre-treatment, and the SBR process treated with powdered activated carbon showed a little higher rate of CO $D_{Cr}$ removal than the process without any treatment. In conclusion, the biological treatment process using SBR proved to be the most applicable for the treatment of organic contents and nitrogen simultaneously and effectively in the landfill leachate.e.

물에 대한 용해도가 높아 수질오염을 시킬 가능성이 있는 제초제 dicamba를 분해시키기 위하여 zerovalent iron 및 Fenton reagent를 처리하여 분해되는 정도와 분해산물을 동정하였다. ZVI에 의한 dicamba의 분해 반응속도는 pH 3.0이 pH 5.0 조건보다 빠르게 진행되었으며 처리된 ZVI의 양이 0.05%에서 1.0%(w/v)로 증가됨에 따라 분해율이 증가되어 반응 3시간 이내에 90% 이상이 분해되었다. 그러나 ZVI의 처리량이 증가됨에 따라 반응후 용액의 pH 상승으로 인하여 dicamba의 분해효율은 증가되지 않았다. ZVI 처리에 의해 생성된 dicamba의 분해 산물을 diazomethane 유도체화 과정을 거쳐 GC-MS로 분석한 결과 dicamba 구조내의 잔기가 없는 부분에 hydroxylation된 형태인 4-hydroxy dicamba 혹은 5-hydroxy dicamba, 4,5-dihydroxy dicamba 그리고 dicamba 구조내의 carboxyl기가 hydroxyl기로 전환된 형태인 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxyphenol로 예상되는 compound를 확인하였다. 이러한 반응산물은 ferric sulfate를 이용한 Fenton 반응에서 조사된 dicamba의 분해 산물과 동일한 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 ZVI에 의한 dicamba의 탈염소화 분해산물은 확인되지 않았다. 따라서 호기적 조건 하에서 ZVI 처리에 의해 유도되는 제초제 dicamba의 주된 분해 경로는 환원반응보다는 반응용액 중에 존재하는 $O_2$와 $Fe^0$의 산화에 의해 생성된 $Fe^{2+}$ 사이의 Fenton 반응과 같은 산화반응인 것으로 사료된다.

Many herbs have been used as therapeutics in Korean traditional medicine. In view of their clinical indications, anti-oxidant activity may contribute to their pharmacological effects. However, anti-oxidant information on these plants has not been available. In this study, seventy herbs which have been used in Korean traditional medicine were selected and screened for anti-oxidant activity using their water extracts. The anti-oxidant activity was assessed by their ability to inhibit three oxidation reactions; luminol/Fenton reagent, 2, 7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein(DCHF)/Fenton reagent and DCHF/peroxynitrite. In each assay, 70 herbs were divided into two groups; anti-oxidant group which inhibited the respective oxidation reaction and was majority(about 60 herbs), and pro-oxidant group which enhanced the oxidation reaction but was minority(more or less 10 herbs). When the herbs were listed in the order of their anti-oxidant strength, the orders obtained from each assay were found to be quite similar. The upper top rankers(more or less 10 herbs) in each assay showed strong activity compared to the others. The uppermost rankers in each assay were Rubus coreanus Miquel/Rubus schizostylus(覆盆子), Schisandra chinensis Baillon/Schizandra chinensis(五味子) and Terminalia chebula Retziusl Terminalia chebula(訶子). Of the pro-oxidant herbs, about 4-5 herbs were strongly pro-oxidant, which enhanced the control oxidation reactions to 150-300%. But the meaning of this observation is not known since few of them in one assay were also anti-oxidant in other assays. The results obtained in the present study may serve as information for understanding pharmacological effects of these herbs and developing new drugs from them.
