Elimination of EDTA in Aqueous Solution by Bimetallic Fe-Cu Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Oxidative degradation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in aqueous solution at normal temperature and pressure by the bimetallic Fe-Cu, which was verified by ESR spectroscopy, was investigated. The results showed that the removal efficiency of EDTA, TOC and TN could be about 99%, 60% and 39% respectively after 3h reaction. The degradation products were iminodiacetate, formate and acetate. The effects of initial pH, concentration of EDTA, Cu content and Fe-Cu loading were also investigated. Significantly, the bimetallic Fe-Cu process exhibited higher reactivity than monometallic Fe0 process for the degradation of EDTA and it would not cause new heavy metal pollution in effluent.
