Published: February 2006

FeGAC/H2O2 process was developed and employed in this research for the treatment of acid back 24. The removal efficiencies of five treatment processes (GAC, FeGAC, H2O2, GAC/H2O2, and FeGAC/H2O2) were studied in this research. The adsorption capacity of granular activated carbon (GAC) was greatly improved by the coating of iron oxide on GAC surface (FeGAC). The presence of H2O2 significantly improved the removal abilities of FeGAC and GAC. For instance, at solution pH 2, the removal efficiency of FeGAC/H2O2, GAC/H2O2, H2O2, FeGAC, and GAC were 76, 74, 59, 11, and 7%, respectively. The possible removal mechanisms of FeGAC/H2O2 process were proposed in this research. When treating the actual dye contaminated wastewater, the removal efficiencies of FeGAC/H2O2 and GAC/H2O2 were approximately six times greater than that of H2O2 process.

Degradation of crystal violet by an FeGAC/H2O2 process.

Department of Science Application and Dissemination, National Taichung University, of Education, Taichung, Taiwan, ROC.

Because of the growing concern over highly contaminated crystal violet (CV) wastewater, an FeGAC/H(2)O(2) process was employed in this research to treat CV-contaminated wastewater. The experimental results indicated that the presence of iron oxide-coated granular activated carbon (FeGAC) greatly improved the oxidative ability of H(2)O(2) for the removal of CV. For instance, the removal efficiencies of H(2)O(2), GAC, FeGAC, GAC/H(2)O(2) and FeGAC/H(2)O(2) processes were 10%, 44%, 40%, 43% and 71%, respectively, at test conditions of pH 3 and 7.

Using FeGAC/H2O2 process for landfill leachate treatment.

Due to the growing concern of highly contaminated landfill leachate problems in Taiwan, an innovative advanced catalytic oxidation (FeGAC/H(2)O(2)) process was developed and employed in this research to treat the landfill leachate from central Taiwan. Experimental results indicated that the FeGAC/H(2)O(2) process could effectively remove organic compounds from landfill leachate. The presence of iron oxide coated granular activated carbon (FeGAC) greatly improved the oxidative ability of H(2)O(2) for the removal of humic acids, fulvic acids and non-humic substance from leachate.
