ABSTRACT
It has been well recognized that the Fenton reaction requires a rigorous pH control and suffers from the fast self-degradation of H2O2. In an effort to resolve the technical demerits of the conventional Fenton reaction, particular concern on the use of CaO2-based Fenton reaction was paid in this study. To realize the practical use of CaO2 in the Fenton reaction for groundwater remediation, it could be of great importance to control its reaction rate in the subsurface. As such, this study laid great emphasis on the combined process of electrochemical oxidation and CaO2-based Fenton oxidation, using 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) as a model compound. It was hypothesized that the reaction rate is also highly contingent on the formation of Fe(II) (stemmed from iron anode oxidation). Eighty percent of 1,2-DCA were degraded by the CaO2-based Fenton reaction. The final pH was neutral, inferring that the reaction could be a viable option for the subsurface environment. Moreover, the supply of electric current in an iron anode expedited 1,2-DCA degradation efficiency from 35 % to 62 % via electrically generated Fe(II), which donated electrons to H2O2, producing more hydroxyl radicals. An anode-cathode configuration from the single-well system enhanced the degradation of 1,2-DCA, with less amount of energy consumption than the double-well system. Based on results, CaO2-based electro-Fenton oxidation can remove well 1,2-DCA in groundwater and can be a strategic measure for groundwater remediation.
