Synthesis of reactive iron impregnated nanoporous activated carbon and its application in anaerobic biological treatment to enhance biodegradability of ortho-phenylenediamine

摘要

BACKGROUNDO-phenylene diamine (OPD) is a bioresistant and endocrine disrupting chemical. Fenton oxidation can partially degrade OPD, but the products formed are more bioresistant than OPD. The main objective of the present investigation is to create a novel integrated IINPAC-H2O2 oxidation system followed by anaerobic biological treatment to destroy OPD in aqueous solution.
