The efficiency and mechanism of electrochemical phenol oxidation using persulfate (PS) and nanosized zero-valent iron (NZVI) were investigated. The pseudo-first-order rate constant for phenol removal by the electrochemical/PS/NZVI ($1mA^*cm^{-2}/12$ mM/6 mM) process was $0.81h^{-1}$, which was higher than those of the electrochemical/PS and PS/NZVI processes. The electrochemical/PS/NZVI system removed 1.5 mM phenol while consuming 6.6 mM PS, giving the highest stoichiometric efficiency (0.23) among the tested systems. The enhanced phenol removal rates and efficiencies observed for the electrochemical/PS/NZVI process were attributed to the interactions involving the three components, in which the electric current stimulated PS activation, NZVI depassivation, phenol oxidation, and PS regeneration by anodic or cathodic reactions. The electrochemical/PS/NZVI process effectively removed phenol oxidation products such as hydroquinone and 1,4-benzoquinone. Since the electric current enhances the reactivities of PS and NZVI, process performance can be optimized by effectively manipulating the current.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performances of zero-valent iron (ZVI) combined SBR (Z-SBR) process in decolorization and organic removal of synthetic dye wastewater. The batch test for optimizing the operation parameters of ZVI column showed that the appropriate EBCT was around 11 min and the pH of the dye wastewater was below 7.0. During the step increase of influent color unit from 300 to 1,000cu, about 53 to 79% decolorization efficiency could be achieved in control SBR (C-SBR, without ZVI column), which resulted from destroying azo bond of synthetic dye in anaerobic condition. For the same influent color loading, Z-SBR showed always higher decolorization efficiency than C-SBR with an aid of ZVI reducing power. The TCOD concentration in Z-SBR effluent was 20-30mg/L lower than C-SBR effluent although the TCOD before and after ZVI column was nearly same. It means that breakdown of azo bond by ZVI reducing power could increase biodegradability of synthetic dye wastewater.

영가철(ZVI)를 사용하는 투수성 반응벽체(PRB, Permeable reactive barrier)는 TCE(Trichloroethylene)와 같은 난분해성 유기물질이 포함된 지하수를 처리하는데 사용될 수 있다. 여기서 ZVI(Zero-valent iron)가 Ferric iron으로 산화되면서 TCE를 ethene으로 환원시킨다. Ferric iron으로 변화된 iron은 환원과정을 통해 Ferrous iron으로 다시 재생을 시켜야 PRB의 처리수명을 연장시킬 수 있다. Ferric iron을 Ferrous iron으로 환원시키기 위해서 철환원 박테리아(IRB, Iron-reducing bacteria)를 이용한다. 이번 연구에서는 IRB가 Ferric iron을 환원시키기 위해서 Ferric iron을 용해를 한다는 concept으로 실험을 해보았다. 실험은 증류수(DI water, De-ionized water), DI-water에 배지를 포함한 용액, 그리고 DI-water에 배지 및 IRB가 포함된 용액, 이 3가지 조건으로 수행했다. 실험결과 $Fe^{3+}$의 용해가 IRB가 포함된 용액, 배지가 포함된 용액, 증류수 순으로 잘 되는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of study is to examine the sensitivity of the rate of degradation to initial TCE concentration and iron concentration in the solution. The batch tests were executed to assess the degradation rate at varying initial conditions. First order rate constants($k_a$) were more rapid with the lower initial TCE concentration, Howere the correleation was not always linear between $k_a$ and initial TCE concentration. $k_a$ was proportionally increased as the increasing surface area. It implied that the effective reactive surface area acted as the limiting factor on the reductive dechlorination of TCE by iron.

The dechlorination of chlorinated methanes by iron powder and palladium coated iron (Pd/Fe) was studied in batch experiments. Iron powder dechlorinated carbon tetrachloride (CT) with a half-life of 4 days. Three chloromethane was found as major product and less chlorinated daughters. Mass balance found was to be about 93-99%. Pd/Fe showed very enhanced reactivity for CT in comparing with plain iron. The major dechlorination products of CT were also less chlorinated methanes with Pd/Fe. Pd/Fe also degrade the produced less chlorinated compounds. Sequential reactions were occurred on Pd/Fe. As the Pd/Fe content increased, the reaction rate was increased linearly.

In this study, the reductive decolorization of three acid and basic dyes using modified zero-valent iron (i.e., acid-washed iron (Aw/Fe) and palladium coated iron (Pd/Fe)) at various pH conditions (pH 3~5) was experimentally investigated and the decolorization characteristics were evaluated by analyzing the absorbance spectra and reaction kinetics. In the case of acid dyes such as methyl orange and eriochrome black T, color removal efficiencies increased as initial pH of the dye solution decreased. However, the color removal of methylene blue, a basic dye, was not affected much by the initial pH and more than 70% of color was removed within 10 min. During the decolorization reaction, the absorbance of methyl orange (${\lambda}_{max}=464nm$) and eriochrome black T (${\lambda}_{max}=528nm$) decreased in the visible range but increased in the UV range. The absorbance of methylene blue (${\lambda}_{max}=664nm$) also decreased gradually in the visible range. Pseudo-zero order, pseudo-first order, and pseudo-second order kinetic models were used to analyze the reaction kinetics. The pseudo-second order kinetic model was found to be the best with good correlation. The decolorization reaction rate constants ($k_2$) of methylene blue were relatively higher than those of methyl orange and eriochrome black T. The reaction rate constants of methyl orange and eriochrome black T increased with a decrease in the initial pH.

유기 염소계 화합물과 니트로기 방향족 화합물 같은 난분해성 유해물질을 처리함에 있어, 0가 철 분말의 사용은 최근에 가장 활발히 논의되고 있는 기술 가운데 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 나노크기의 0가 철 분말을 실험실에서 만들어 유기 염소계 화합물의 탈염소화 반응과 니트로기 방향족 화합물의 니트로기 변환실험을 혐기성 회분식 반응조에서 실시하였다. 매우 큰 비표면적과 높은 반응성을 가지고 있는 나노크기 0가 철 입자는 10mg/$\ell$로 농도수용액상에 존재하는 TCE, 클로로포름, 니트로 벤젠, 니트로 톨루엔, 디니트로 밴젠, 디니트로 톨루엔등의 물질을 상온.상압의 조건에서 빨리 제거할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 반응 시간 30분 안에 TCE는 에탄으로, 클로로포름은 메탄으로 탈염소화 되었고, 니트로기 방향족 화합물의 니트로기는 모두 아민기로 변환되었다. 이러한 결과들은 유기 염소계 화합물과 니트로기 방향족 화합물 같은 난분해성 유해물질로 오염된 지하수나토양을 복원함에 있어, 나노크기의 0가 철 분말을 이용한 화학적 처리기술의 잠재성을 나타내주는 것이다.

최근 주요 수질오염 물질로 대두되고 있는 질산성 질소의 제거를 목적으로 영가 철 나노입자에 의한 질산성 질소의 환원반응성을 평가하였다. 영가 철 나노입자의 제조방법에 따른 반응성 차이를 규명하기 위해 유기용매 상에 계면활성제를 첨가하여 나노미터 크기 수준의 수용액 분산상에서 입자를 합성하는 마이크로에멀젼 방법과, 수용액 상의 철 이온을 환원시켜 입자를 합성하는 두 가지 방법으로 영가 철 나노입자를 합성하였다. 또한 전기영동법으로 알루미늄에 침적시킨 영가 철 나노입자에 의한 질산성 질소 제거속도를 측정하고, 고정화되지 않은 나노 철 입자에 의한 반응속도와 비교하였다. 환원반응을 질산성 질소에 대한 1차 반응으로 가정하여 수용액 방법 및 마이크로에멀전 방법으로 제조된 영가 철 나노입자의 반응성을 평가한 결과, 반응속도상수는 각각 $1.40{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ 와 $3.49{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ 로서 비표면적에 비례하여 증가하였다. 알루미늄에 침적된 나노입자는 현탁된 나노입자의 반응과 비교하여 약 30% 감소된 반응속도를 보였으나, 과량의 질산성 질소가 존재하는 경우 나노 철의 단위 질량당 질산성 질소의 제거효율 면에서 더 우수한 특성을 보였다. 나노철 입자의 현탁액은 반응시간 30분 이내에 반응속도가 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 알루미늄에 침적된 나노철 입자는 3시간 이상 활성을 유지하였으며, 최종 생성물로 기체 질소를 발생시키는 것을 확인하였다.

It has become interested in the concept of permeable barriers for the containment and/or destruction of contaminated groundwater. The purpose of these trench-like barriers is to provide in situ capture and possibly destruction of the contaminant while preserving groundwater flow to uncontaminated zones. For instance, a trichloreethylene(TCE) plume may be contained by a permeable in which reactive iron reduces TCE to ethylene and ethane, compounds which can be easily biodegraded. The objective of this research is to examine the feasibility of using zero-valent iron as a clean-up media in permeable reactive barrier system. A series of laboratory column tests are performed. The concentration of influent and effluent water and the rate of clean up are analysed from these test results. The experimental result shows that the majority of the contamination in groundwater is removed in the reactor. And it shows the corresponding increase in the concentration of chloride ions through the reactor. Results from this study indicate that permeable reactive barrier containing admixtures of zero-valent iron and other materials can effectively clean up groundwater contaminated with organic compounds.

Reduction kinetics and intermediates behaviour of three high explosives (HMX, RDX, and TNT) were studies in batch reactors using either nano or micro size zero valent iron(ZVI) as reducing agent. The kinetics constants normalize to the mass of iron($k_M$) or to the surface area ($k_{SA}$) were measured and compared along with the changes of intermediate concentrations of each explosive. Results showed that $k_M$ and $k_{SA}$ values neither correlated each other nor explained the behaviour of intermediates of each high explosive in the batch reactor, in which initial intermediates decreased rapidly with nano ZVI treatment whereas the intermediates accumulated and stayed longer in the micro ZVI treated reactor.
