Abstract: |
Slurrying has been proven to be an effective and efficient pretreatment method for remediating organic contaminated soils. Combined slurrying and Electro-Fenton treatment procedures may be used to remediate these soils via oxidation. This study investigated key factors influencing ·OH generation and detection accuracy in Electro-Fenton based slurry bioreactor. Salicylic acid was adopted as ·OH trapping reagent. The rate of ·OH generation was increased and maintained at a high level when electrolyte (anhydrous sodium sulfate) was maintained at 5 g·L-1. Higher concentrations of ·OH was found in the samples with initial pH at 3 than at 5 and 11. Also, the highest amount of ·OH was obtained at 5 cm of electrode spacing. The instantaneous generation rate of ·OH could be calculated accurately when the concentration of salicylic acid was kept at 400 μmoI·L-1. Remediation experiments on pyrene-contaminated soil showed that adding certain amount of organic matter could reduce ·OH quenching. The results indicate that Electro-Fenton process could produce large amounts of ·OH under appropriately controlled environment, and thereby degrade organic pollutants rapidly |
