The role of oxalate in 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) oxidation by permanganate (Mn(VII)) was explored in this study. The performance of oxalate was heavily depended on pH and oxalate concentration. 4-CP degradation by Mn(VII) was significantly enhanced at pH 4.0-6.0 in the presence of oxalate, while negligible influence was observed at pH 7.0-9.0. The oxalate plays a dual role in Mn(VII) oxidation over the pH range of 4.0-6.0: one is the chelate, which coordinates with Mn(III) to form Mn(III)-oxalate complexes, and the other is the reductant, which reacts with Mn(III) to form Mn(II). The stable Mn(III)-oxalate complexes can work as an efficient oxidant for 4-CP. While their unstable counterparts, due to the lower concentration of oxalate or the higher pH, would auto-decomposed to MnO and Mn(II), and then the MnO works as both a catalyst and an oxidant for the decomposition of 4-CP.
本研究探讨了草酸盐在高锰酸盐(Mn(VII))氧化 4-氯苯酚(4-CP)中的作用。草酸盐的性能严重依赖于 pH 值和草酸盐浓度。在 pH 值为 4.0-6.0 且存在草酸盐的条件下,Mn(VII) 对 4-CP 的降解作用显著增强,而在 pH 值为 7.0-9.0 时几乎没有影响。在 pH 值为 4.0-6.0 的范围内,草酸盐在 Mn(VII)氧化中起着双重作用:一种是螯合剂,与 Mn(III)配位形成 Mn(III)-草酸盐配合物,另一种是还原剂,与 Mn(III)反应形成 Mn(II)。稳定的 Mn(III)-草酸盐配合物可用作 4-CP 的有效氧化剂。而由于草酸盐浓度较低或 pH 值较高,它们不稳定的对应物会自动分解为 MnO 和 Mn(II),然后 MnO 既作为催化剂又作为氧化剂,促进 4-CP 的分解。
