Sonochemical Composition of Humic Substances with Magnetic Nanoparticles and H2O2

Article Preview

Abstract:

The experiments of TOC and UV254 removal of humic acid (HA) solution by ultrasound (US) irradiation with the presence of H2O2 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NP) were carried out. The comparison of enhancement effect of humic acid sonolysis by H2O2 and NP was investigated. It was found that removal efficiency of TOC and UV254 increased significantly in the order of US< US/NP< US/H2O2< NP/H2O2< US/NP/H2O2. During US/NP/H2O2 combining process, the contribution of H2O2 should be presenting most OH radicals for humic acid degradation, Fe3O4 nanoparticles would supply adsorption surface for humic acid to have more chance to be oxidized, and ultrasonic would work as main energy for OH radicals generation and offer sonochemical environment.
