Catalytic ozonation treatment of papermaking wastewater by Ag-doped NiFe2O4 : Performance and mechanism

摘要

The catalytic ozonation treatment of secondary biochemical effluent for papermaking wastewater by Ag-doped nickel ferrite was investigated.Ag-doped catalysts prepared by sol-gel method were characterized,illustrating that Ag entirely entered the crystalline of Ni Fe2O4 and changed the surface properties.The addition of catalyst enhanced the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand and total organic carbon.The results of gas chromatography-mass spectrometer,ultraviolet light absorbance at 254 nm and threedimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix suggested that aromatic compounds were efficiently degraded and toxic substances,such as dibutyl phthalate.In addition,the radical scavenging experiments confirmed the hydroxyl radicals acted as the main reactive oxygen species and the surface properties of catalysts played an important role in the reaction.Overall,this work validated potential applications of Ag-doped Ni Fe2O4 catalyzed ozonation process of biologically recalcitrant wastewater.
