Abstract:

Iron, copper, and titanium metal oxide-loaded catalysts, with a silica-aluminum base as the carrier, were prepared using the impregnation method to catalyze the ozonation treatment of biochemical effluent from coking wastewater (BTCW). The degradation of typical organic compounds (phenol, quinoline, and ethylene glycol) in the wastewater and the corresponding degradation mechanisms were investigated. The results showed that the silica-alumina-supported iron catalyst (Fe@SA) exhibited the best catalytic performance. For phenol, quinoline, and ethylene glycol wastewaters (initial concentration of 200 mg/L), the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removals in the Fe@SA catalytic ozone oxidation system were 84.56%, 39.38%, and 17.40%, respectively, which were 5%, 6.36%, and 10.06% higher than those in the ozone oxidation system alone. The Total Organic Carbon (TOC) removal rates were 85.38%, 15.07%, and 79.98%, respectively, representing improvements of 40.48%, 15.07%, and 79.98% compared to the ozone oxidation system alone. The removal efficiencies of phenol, quinoline, and ethylene glycol in the Fe@SA catalytic ozone oxidation system were 99.99%, 72.79%, and 99.79%, respectively. The results for actual BTCW showed that the Fe@SA catalytic ozone oxidation system achieved COD and TOC removal rates of 48.40% and 52.87%, respectively. Stability tests indicated that Fe@SA maintained high catalytic activity after five cycles of reuse, with COD and TOC removal rates decreasing by no more than 2%. Characterization analyses revealed that the Fe@SA primarily on electron transfer between different valence states of iron ions and its promotion of hydroxyl (—OH) generation. These findings provide theoretical and technical support for the development of efficient catalysts and the advanced treatment of coking wastewater.
