[Ru/AC catalyzed ozonation of recalcitrant organic compounds].

Ozonation and Ru/AC catalyzed ozonation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP), phenols and disinfection by-products precursors were studied. It shows that Ru/AC catalyst can obviously enhance the mineralization of organic compounds. In the degradation of DMP, TOC removal was 28.84% by ozonation alone while it was 66.13% by catalytic ozonation. In the oxidation of 23 kinds of phenols, TOC removals were 9.57%-56.08% by ozonation alone while they were 41.81%-82.32% by catalytic ozonation. Compared to ozonation alone, Ru/AC catalyzed ozonation was more effective for the reduction of disinfection by-products formation potentials in source water. The reduction of haloacetic acids formation potentials was more obvious than thichlomethane formation potentials. After the treatment by catalytic ozonation, the haloacetic acids formation potentials decreased from 144.02 microg/L to 58.50 microg/L, which was below the standard value of EPA. However ozonation alone could not make it reach the standard. The treatments of source water by BAC, O3 + BAC, O3/AC + BAC and Ru/AC + O3 + BAC were also studied. In the four processes, TOC removal was 3.80%, 20.14%, 27.45% and 48.30% respectively, COD removal was 4.37%, 27.22%, 39.91% and 50.00% respectively, UV254 removal was 8.16%, 62.24%, 67.03% and 84.95% respectively. Ru/AC + O3 + BAC process is more effective than the other processes for the removal of TOC, COD and UV254 and no ruthenium leaching observed in the solution. It is a promising process for the treatment of micro polluted source water.

[Catalytic oxidation of dimethyl phthalate in aqueous solution by aluminum oxide].

With dimethyl phthalate as the model pollutant and alumina as catalyst, the degradation of TOC system was systemically investigated. Results show that Al2O3 can significantly increase the effect of ozonation, and TOC removal rate in 120 minutes can reach 55.1% while only 23.9% with alone ozone. Al2O3 activeness is upmost under the follow conditions: calcination temperature, 600 degrees C; particle diameter, 0.5 - 1 mm; catalyst dosage, 20 g/L; gas flow rate, 200 mL/min, react temperature, 15 degrees C. The contrastive experiments of alone ozone, catalyst adsorption after ozonation and catalytic ozonation confirmed that catalytic reaction is the most important process to TOC removal in system with alumina as catalyst.
