Abstract

The degradation of red water from TNT waste water was studied. Three methods were employed in this study: Fenton oxidation; Photo-Fenton oxidation, and Fenton oxidation with TiO2 photo-catalyst. Red water was decolorized by Fenton oxidation within 2 - 3 hours. The reaction rate for Fenton oxidation with TiO2 photo-catalyst > Fenton oxidation under UV radiation > Fenton oxidation.

Organic nitrogen (nitro group) was essentially mineralized to nitrate ion and ammonium ion. The nitrate ion concentration was 2.1 times greater than the ammonium ion concentration for the photo Fenton oxidation method, and 2.3 times greater than the Fenton oxidation with TiO2 photo-catalysis method. For the Fenton oxidation method, UV radiation appeared to be effective. This suggests that the reduction Fe3+→Fe2+ occurs to reproduce Fe2+ ion under radiation.
