Development and optimization of an innovative
photo-Fenton-peroxone system for degrading organic micropollutants in water |
||
|
|
Project objectives The present project proposes the development and optimization of a new advanced treatment technique for micropollutant degradation/removal from water and wastewater. Three different research direction are considered: - design and achievement of a continuous photo-Fenton peroxone system, where the H2O2 and O3 are generated in-situ. - achievement of new Fe oxides-AC composites (Fe-doped TiO2, and Fe and Mn oxides, respectively, impregnated on ACs) having optimal Fenton properties for the in-situ regeneration of the adsorbent material. - development of new Fenton nano-oxides aerogel composites as next generation Fenton catalysts. The novel features of this technique consist in coupling heterogeneous Fenton and peroxone (O3/H2O2) processes into a powerful oxidation system (both in bulk solution and at catalyst surface) having also the capability to adsorb traces of non-organic MPs onto the AC high surface. Most of the approaches of AOPs studies are focused solely on the degradation of dissolved organic matter, thus disregarding the inherent presence of non-organic pollutants in real water compositions and their consequent effects on the treatment performance. New Fenton composite catalysts having optimal properties (acid surface) will be prepared. One of the main goals consists in establishing the synergistic effects of the combined processes. It is of interest to determine the optimal conditions where the global process cumulates more synergistic effects for MPs degradation/removal. |
