ABSTRACT

Zero-valent iron (ZVI) pre-treatment in sequential strategy for removal of non-biodegradable azo-dye Orange II by activated-sludge was quantitatively examined. The decolorization and TOC (total organic carbon) removal of Orange II by ZVI pre-treatment were examined in the ranges of pH from 3 to 11 and ZVI dosage from 500 to 2000 mgL-1. While the decolorization was enhanced with decreasing pH and the optimal pH for decolorization was found at pH 3, the TOC removal rate at pH 3 remained at 22.2% and the maximum TOC removal rate of 78.2% was obtained at pH 4. The decolorization and TOC removal of Orange II were monotonously increased with increasing ZVI dosage. To quantify the ZVI pre-treatment, the contributions of redox degradation, complexation/precipitation and adsorption to TOC removal by ZVI were defined. Novel kinetic models for the ZVI pre-treatment and activated-sludge post-treatment were developed. The proposed kinetic models satisfactorily predicted the transitional behaviors of the ZVI pre-treatment and activated-sludge post-treatment and the contributions of redox degradation, complexation/precipitation and adsorption to TOC removal by the ZVI pre-treatment. The complete removal of non-biodegradable azo-dye Orange II of 300 mgL-1 was accomplished by 78.2% removal after 360 min ZVI pre-treatment with the ZVI dosage of 1000 mgL-1 at pH 4 and subsequently 21.8% removal after 480 min activated-sludge post-treatment. The ZVI pre-treatment integrated with activated-sludge post-treatment was proved to be an effective strategy for treating non-biodegradable pollutants.
