Goethite, hematite, magnetite and synthesized iron oxide are used as catalysts for Fenton-type oxidation of phenol. The synthesized iron oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The catalytic activity of these materials is classified according to the observed rate of phenol oxidation. The effectiveness of the catalysts followed the sequence: ferrous ion > synthesized iron oxide >> magnetite hematite > goethite. According to these results, the most effective iron oxide catalyst had the structure similar to natural hematite. The surface oxidation state of the catalyst was between magnetite and hematite (+2.5 ~ +3.0). Phenol degraded completely in 40 min at neutral pH (pH = 7). Soluble ferric and ferrous ions were not detected in the filtrate from Fenton reaction solution by AAS. The formation of hydroxyl radicals was confirmed by EPR.

Oxidation of phenol in aqueous media by electro-Fenton process using Ru-Sn-Sb/graphite electrode has been studied. Hydrogen peroxide was electrically generated by reaction of dissolved oxygen in acidic solutions containing supporting electrolyte and $Fe^{2+}$ was added in aqueous media. Phenol degradation experiments were performed in the presence of electrolyte media at pH 3. Effect of operating parameters such as current, electrolyte type (NaCl, KCl and $Na_2SO_4$) and concentration, $Fe^{2+}$ concentration, air flow rate and phenol concentration were investigated to find the best experimental conditions for achieving overall phenol removal. Results showed that current of 2 A, NaCl electrolyte concentration of 2g/l, 0.5M concentration of $Fe^{2+}$, air flow rate of 1l/min were the best conditions for mineralization of the phenol by electro-Fenton.

고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)의 내구성을 향상시키기 위해서는 필수적으로 고분자막의 내구성이 향상되어야한다. 고분자막의 내구성을 향상시키기 위해서 e-PTFE 지지체와 라디칼 제거제(Radical Scavenger)가 첨가된다. 본 연구에서는 e-PTFE 지지체가 들어간 강화막(Reinforced Membrane)과 비강화막(Non-reinforced Membrane)의 화학적 내구성을 Fenton 반응에 의해 비교하고자 하였다. 라디칼 제거제가 첨가되지 않은 고분자막의 Fenton 실험에서는 작게 절단한 시편의 단면을 통한 과산화수소 용액과 철이온의 흡수율이 강화막에서 더 높아 불소유출농도가 더 높게 나타났다. 라디칼 제거제의 종류와 첨가량에 따라 강화막의 불소유출농도가 3배 이상의 큰 차이가 발생해서 라디칼 제거제의 영향이 지지체의 영향보다 강한 것을 알 수 있었다.

Fenton system using homogeneous iron catalyst is very powerful in the degradation of organic compounds, but has a disadvantage to remove Fe ions from water after wastewater treatment. Thus, iron catalyst was bounded to support such as inorganic and polymer materials. The PVP supporting iron catalyst showed a good catalytic performance in degradation of phenol contained in waste water and iron catalyst supported on ${SO_4}^{2-}$ type PVP (KEX 511) showed the best catalytic performance. Also, reaction kinetic study was carried out in this system. Reaction constants on various catalysts was obtained from the pseudo first order equation. Reaction rate constants with the heterogenized $FeCl_2/PVP$ catalyst is a three-fold smaller than that of $FeCl_2$ catalyst.

This work investigated the difference between $Fe^{2+}$ autoxidation-induced and Fenton-type cleavage of pBR322 plasmid DNA. $^{\cdot}OH$ generation reactions in the absence and presence of $H_2O_2$ under various conditions were also investigated. Although both the $Fe^{2+}$ autoxidation and Fenton-type reactions showed DNA cleavage and $^{\cdot}OH$ generation, there were significant differences in their efficiencies and reaction rates. The rate and efficiency of the cleavage reaction were higher in the absence of 1.0 mM of $H_2O_2$ than in its presence in 20 mM phosphate buffer. In contrast, the $^{\cdot}OH$ generation reaction was more prominent in the presence of $H_2O_2$ and showed a pH-independent, fast initial reaction rate, but the rate was decreased in the absence of $H_2O_2$ at across the entire tested pH range. Studies using radical scavengers on DNA cleavage and $^{\cdot}OH$ generation reactions in both the absence and presence of $H_2O_2$ confirmed that both reactions spontaneously involved the active oxygen species $^{\cdot}OH$, ${O_2}^{\cdot-}$, $^1O_2$ and $H_2O_2$, indicating that a similar process may participate in both reactions. Based on the above observations, a new mechanism for the $Fe^{2+}$ autoxidation-induced DNA cleavage reaction is proposed.

에너지원 및 다양한 화학제품의 원료로 유류의 소비량이 증가함에 따라 유류의 유출사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 유류오염 지하수 처리를 위해 용존공기부상법이 사용되어지고 있으나 용해성 기름을 효과적으로 제거하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 지하수내 주오염원인 자유상 유류와 친수성(oil-in water) 또는 친유성 에멜젼(water-in oil) 상태의 기름과 용해성 기름을 효과적으로 저감하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 용존공기부상법에 펜톤 산화 공법을 사용하여 효과적인 유류 오염 지하수 처리를 연구하였다. 펜톤 실험 결과 TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon) 제거를 위한 최적 조건은 pH 3, $H_2O_2$ 주입농도 25mM과 $Fe^{2+}$ 주입농도 25mM으로 나타났다. DAF와 펜톤 산화 실험을 수행한 결과 7분내에 TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon)와 COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) 농도가 각각 1.5mg/L와 40.0mg/L 이하로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 펜톤 산화 반응으로 인하여 슬러지 농도가 약 5배 가량 증가하여 후단에 침전조를 설치하는 것이 바람직하다.

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.

Aspalatone (APT)의 예상되는 항산화 작용을 검색하기 위하여 Doxorubicin(Dox.) 유발독성 (Dox.의 작용 발현 기전은 oxyradical 생성에 의해 매개됨)으로 인하여 변화되는 항산화 효소계 및 과산화지질 생성에 대하여 APT의 효과를 검색하고, 별도로 Hydroxyl radical 생성에 미치는 APT의 효능을 검정하기 위하여 ESR spin trapping technique을 이용하여 ㆍOH/DMPO ESR signal을 검정하여 아래의 결과를 얻었다. Dox 투여 2일 후에 생쥐 심장에서 얻어진 SOD-1의 보상성 유도는 APT 병용 투여로 억제되었고, Catalase 활성을 유도하였으나 MBA 치에는 유의한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 반면에 간에서는 APT으로 인하여 GSH-PX가 현저히 유도되었고 (다른 항산화 효소에는 유의한 변화가 나타나지 않았음), MDA 치가 억제되었다. 한편 Fenton 반응동안 증가되었던 ㆍOH/DMPO ESR signal은 APT에 의해 억제되었다. 이상의 결과에서 APT의 항산화성 효능이 인정되지만, Dox. 및 APT 각각의 용량 및 노출 시간의 상관성, 그리고 생화학적인 결과에 대한 (미세)조직학적인 확인이 요구되며 각각의 실험군, 즉 aspirin, maltol에 대한 효능/효력 검정도 추가로 보완되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The degradation of aqueous oxytetracycline (OTC) from an aqueous solution antibiotic using H₂O₂/Fe²⁺ process was studied in one 1 L batch chemical reactor. The extent of OTC degradation (20 mg/L) was investigated from a known initial pH solution, temperature and the type of catalyst (Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺) and for various initial concentrations of OTC, H₂O₂ and Fe²⁺. The degradation efficiency achieved was found to be very important (90.82% and 90.63%) at initial pH solution of 3 and 4, respectively. However, the type of catalyst and the reaction temperature had a slight impact on the final degradation of OTC. The results showed that the OTC removal increased with increasing initial H₂O₂ concentration in the range of 70 to 150 mg/L and initial Fe²⁺ concentrations in the range of 2 to 5 mg/L. The highest degradation efficiency obtained at ambient temperature was 90.95% with initial concentration of OTC of 10 mg/L, H₂O₂ = 150 mg/L and Fe²⁺ = 5 mg/L. Moreover, biodegradability improved from 0.04 to 0.36 and chemical oxygen demand degradation was 78.35% after 60 min of treatment. This study proved that Fenton process can be used for pretreatment of wastewater contaminated by OTC before a biological treatment.

Nickel substituted cobalt-zinc ferrite nanoparticles with composition Co_0.5Zn_0.5Ni_xFe_2-xO₄ (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) were synthesized using a wet chemical method named citrate precursor method. Various characterizations of the prepared nanoferrites were done using X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV visible spectroscopy and Fourier transform spectroscopy technique (FT-IR). XRD confirmed the formation of cubic spinel structure of the samples with single phase having one characteristic peak at (311). The value of optical band gap (E_g) was found to decrease with Ni substitution and have values in the range 2.30eV to 1.69eV. A Fenton-type system was created by photocatalytic activity using source of visible light for removal of methylene blue dye. Observations revealed increase in the degradation of methylene blue dye with increasing nickel content in the samples. The degradation percentage was increased from 77.32% for x = 0.25 to 90.16% for x = 1.0 in one hour under the irradiation of visible light. Also, the degradation process was found to have pseudo first order kinetics model. Hence, it can be observed that synthesized nickel doped cobalt-zinc ferrites have good capability for water purification and its degradation efficiency enhanced with increase in nickel concentration.
