Degradation of phenol in water by Fe(II)-citrate activated persulfate oxidation
Abstract
To enhance the degradation efficiency, complexing agent citric acid (CA) and trisodium citrate (TC) were introduced into the Fe(II)-persulfate (Fe2+/PS) oxidation system to degrade phenol. And the optimal operating conditions were determined. The results showed that Fe2+-citrate/PS system had higher degradation efficiency than the others. The optimal operating conditions to degrade phenol in water were: a PS concentration of 0.06 mol/L, a Fe2+ concentration of 0.02 mol/L and a TC concentration of 0.01 mol/L, while reaction temperature and the initial pH values had little influence on the phenol degradation.
