Degradation of Hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) by Stable Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) Microparticles

During the production of lindane (γ-HCH) large volumes of wastes containing α-, β-, and δ-HCH isomers were generated. Hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) are carcinogens and teratogen compounds. Although their production and use are currently banned in most countries, many landfills and sites remain pollu...

Synthetic wastewater (0.5 mg/L of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-HCH or 6 mg/L of γ-HCH) and five types of commercial iron microparticles (here named mFe-1, mFe-2, mFe-3, mFe-4, and mFe-5) were used in batch (5 g/L) and continuous (W mFe/Q L  = 167 g · h/L) operation mode at room temperature.

The most active iron source among those tested was mFe-1, presenting small particle diameter (70 μm), moderate BET area (35 m2/kg), low oxygen content, and traces of manganese. mFe-1 exhibited high activity and stability both in continuous (X γ-HCH = 70%, W mFe/Q L  = 167 g · h/L) and discontinuous (X γ-HCH = 100%, 48 h) operation. Contribution of HCH adsorption over iron microparticles was found negligible being benzene and Cl− the final dechlorination products.SpringerUniversidad Complutense de Madrid20162016-01-0120162016-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501AMhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_ab4af688f83e57aainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/98934reponame:Docta Complutenseinstname:Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)InglésengMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100003329 CTM2013-43794-R Not availableComunidad de Madrid http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100012818 S2013-MAE-2739 Not availableopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:docta.ucm.es:20.500.14352/989342026-06-02T12:44:21Z
