QSAR models for removal rates of organic pollutants adsorbed by in situ formed manganese dioxide under acid condition.

Manganese dioxide formed in oxidation process by potassium permanganate exhibits promising adsorptive capacity which can be utilized to remove organic pollutants in wastewater. However, the structure variances of organic molecules lead to wide difference of adsorption efficiency. Therefore, it is of great significance to find a general relationship between removal rate of organic compounds and their quantum parameters.

QSAR models for degradation of organic pollutants in ozonation process under acidic condition.

Although some researches about the degradation of organic pollutants have been carried out during recent years, reaction rate constants are available only for homologue compounds with similar structures or components. Therefore, it is of great significance to find a universal relationship between reaction rate and certain parameters of several diverse organic pollutants. In this study, removal ratio and kinetics of 33 kinds of organic substances were investigated by ozonation process, including azo dyes, heterocyclic compounds, ionic compounds and so on.
