Degradation of aniline by ferrous ions activated persulfate : Impacts, mechanisms, and by-products

Wastewater contains a large number of anions and organics which can scavenge reactive radicals and limit the application of sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) in practical engineering. Here, we studied the removal rate and mechanism of aniline by SR-AOPs in different influencing factors, such as sodium persulfate dosage, ferrous ions dosage, solution pH, Cl-, HCO3-, NO3-, and other organic matter. By recognizing and analyzing free radicals, we concluded that SO4•- plays a major role in aniline degradation. The aniline removal rate increased with the initial concentrations of persulfate and ferrous ions, but aniline degradation was inhibited by excessive dosage. The aniline removal rate by ferrous-ions-catalyzed persulfate was higher under acidic conditions and could be improved under alkaline conditions if no ferrous ions were added. The addition of bicarbonate ions inhibited aniline removal, and the addition of nitrate ions barely caused the effect. While the addition of chloride ions promoted aniline degradation, which was confirmed that HClO generated from the reacting of Cl- and persulfate played a key role. However, TOC indicated that aniline was not completely mineralized in the process. Further analysis of the products from GC-MS demonstrated that chloride-ion additions produced some harmful halogenated by-products. Our results can act as a basis for developing processes for the aniline degradation in wastewater.
