Accelerated iron valence cycling in Fenton system using activated hydrogen enhanced by MIL-100(Fe) modified by nano-Pd0 Particle.

In this paper, a novel Fenton reaction system which was called MHACF-MIL-100(Fe) was constructed. In this system, based on active hydrogen-accelerated Fe reduction, the hydroxyl radical was continuously produced with a trace amount of total iron. The MIL-100(Fe) modified with the nano-Pd particle could be used to activate the H. Under normal temperature and pressure, the target organic pollutants, such as sulfamethazine and 4-chloro phenol, could be degraded fast. In the condition of initial aqueous solution pH 3, 2 g L dosage of MIL-100(Fe) catalyst loaded with nano-Pd, Pd/MIL-100(Fe), 20 mM 30 wt% hydrogen peroxide, 25 μM ferrous chloride and 60 mL H min, 97.8% of sulfamethazine and 100% 4-chloro phenol could be degraded within only 5 min, respectively. Although the surface of the catalyst exhibited more obvious defects and roughness after 5 consecutive destructive experiment cycles, its basic structure could be maintained. The removal efficiency could be maintained at least more than 79% (sulfamethazine) and 94% (4-chloro phenol). That may be mainly attributed to the degradation of hydroxyl radical.
