Removal of Refractory Organic Orange IV by Fe-Mn/GAC in the Presence of H2O2

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new heterogeneous catalyst Fe-Mn/GAC (iron and manganese were loaded into activated carbon particles) was prepared, which had a better catalytic reactivity to decompose H2O2 compared with Fe/GAC and Mn/GAC. The removal rate of Orange IV increased more than 10% with this catalyst compared with Fe/GAC and Mn/GAC. The effect of the initial concentration of H2O2, the initial dye concentration, the initial catalyst concentration, the initial pH and temperature on the reaction rate constant were also studied. The activated energy for Fe-Mn/GAC catalyzed oxidation of the dye was determined to be 66.16KJ/mol. Reuse of catalyst did not decrease the removal rate of Orange IV. The tert-butanol experiment indicated that there were not only hydroxyl radicals but also other active species in the system.
