Influence of Reduction Time of SSI on Nitrite Removal from Wastewater

Abstract:

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be prepared through direct reduction by hydrogen. To optimize the reduction technology of SSI and its removal ability for nitrate from wastewater, the influence of reduction time of SSI on nitrate removal percentage was investigated. Because the specific surface area was impact smartly by the reduction time of SSI, it was suggested that nitrate removal ability of SSI should declined with the increasing of reduction time once the reduction time longer than the optimized reduction time. When the reduction time was t1, nitrate removal percentage reached to the maximum. When the nitrate original concentration was 5mg-N/L, the reaction order was closed to 0.7 and the apparent reaction rate constant was 0.323 to 0.359 h-1. When nitrate original concentration increased to 50 mg-N/L, nitrate removal reaction appeared to be the pseudo-first-order reaction, and the apparent reaction rate constant was 0.314 to 0.248 h-1.
