ABSTRACT
Kinetics of perchlorate reduction by elemental iron was examined at elevated temperatures using microwave heating and conventional block heating. It was hypothesized that increasing the solution temperature may accelerate the reduction of perchlorate by overcoming the high activation energy barrier. Results from microwave heating study showed that 98% of aqueous perchlorate was removed in 1 h at 200 degrees C. Similar results observed in control experiments with a block heater indicated that the enhancement in the extent and rate of perchlorate removal by elemental iron was mostly due to heat energy at high temperature. The rapid and complete reduction of perchlorate by elemental iron at elevated temperatures suggests that iron reduction process at elevated temperature may be an option to consider for complete removal of perchlorate from industrial discharges.
