Ex-situ Reductive Dechlorination of Carbon Tetrachloride by Iron Sulfide in Batch Reactor

چکیده
Ex-situ reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CT) by iron sulfide in a batch reactor was characterized in this study. Reactor scaled-up by 3.5 L was used to investigate the effect of reductant concentration on removal efficiency and process optimization for ex-situ degradation. The experiment was conducted by using both liquid-phase and gas-phase volume at pH 8.5 in anaerobic condition. For 1 mM of initial CT concentration, the removal of the target compound was 98.9% at 6.0 g/L iron sulfide. Process optimization for ex-situ treatment was performed by checking the effect of transition metal and mixing time on synthesizing iron sulfide solution, and by determining of the regeneration time. The effect of Co(II) as transition metal was shown that the reaction rate was slightly improved but the improvement was not that outstanding. The result of determination on the regeneration time indicated that regenerating reductant capacity after 1 treatment of target compound was needed. Due to the high removal rates of CT, ex-situ reductive dechlorination in batch reactor can be used for basic treatment for the chlorinated compounds.

Reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CT) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) by FeS with transition metals (Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II)) and hydrosulfide was characterized in this study. The batch kinetic experiments were conducted by spiking each stock solution of CT and 1,1,1-TCA into 33 g/L of FeS suspensions with and without transition metals at pH 7.5. No significant enhancem...
متن کاملDegradation of carbon tetrachloride in the presence of zero-valent iron.
Efforts to achieve the decomposition of carbon tetrachloride through anaerobic and aerobic bioremediation and chemical transformation have met with limited success because of the conditions required and the formation of hazardous intermediates. Recently, particles of zero-valent iron (ZVI) have been used with limited success for in situ remediation of carbon tetrachloride. We studied a modified...

The chemical degradation of dieldrin in ferric sulfide and iron powder aqueous suspension was investigated in laboratory batch type experiments. To identify the reaction mechanism, reduced copper was used as reductant. More than 90% of dieldrin was degraded using both reaction systems after 29 days. Initial degradation rate of the pesticide using ferric sulfide was superior to that using iron p...

The historical use of carbon tetrachloride (CT) as a fumigant at grain silos has caused groundwater contamination at numerous sites. The Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC) – In Situ Bioremediation (ISB) Team has recently completed a guidance document that describes a systematic approach to ISB for CT in groundwater (ITRC, 2002). Contaminant reduction of CT through ISB typi cally o...
