| ABSTRACT |
|
In this study, the treatability of two target contaminants during the Fenton reaction, n-hexadecane and 1-methylnaphthalene, was
evaluated as a function of the amounts of FeCl2 and H2O2 injected into open and closed reaction systems. In the Fenton reaction of nhexadecane
and 1-methylnaphthalene, the mass recovery of the target contaminants was above 95% in the closed system. However,
when the Fenton reaction was performed with high amounts of H2O2 and FeCl2 injected in the open system, a reduction of approximately
40% of the initial mass of 1-methylnaphthalene was observed. This trend may be explained by the unique physical properties of 1-methylnaphthalene,
which has higher volatility than n-hexadecane. Further, this trend was well correlated with the rise in high temperature
at the initial reaction stage. Considering the mass recovery of the two target contaminants, the reaction temperature, and the residual
concentration of H2O2 at different amounts of FeCl2 and H2O2 injected, it can be suggested that the Fenton reaction should be performed
with controlled conditions that can provide a suitable reaction environment between oxidant and contaminants. |
