Abstract:
Nitrobenzene compounds,featured with weak mutagenicity,chemical stability,are difficult to be purified by traditional degradation method.Several factors involved in the nitrobenzene wastewater degradation are comparatively analyzed by cavitating water jets assisted with Fenton.The removal ratio of nitrobenzene,whose concentration is 50 mg/L,reaches 95.06% when the Fe2+ concentration is 40 mg/L,the pH value,5.0,the hydrogen peroxide concentration,150 mg/L,the confining pressure,0.5 MPa,and the jetting pressure,10 MPa.The degradation mechanism,shown by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC),is that the cavitating water jet impelled the Fenton to release more HO· and enhances the catalytic capacity of Fe2+,then the nitrobenzene is degraded or oxidized totally,or graded into small organic molecules such as chain hydrocarbon and organic acids,etc.Besides,the intermediate products,including Benzoquinone,4Nitrophenol,2Nitrophenol and Hydroquinone,are also shown by HPLC.
