Rates of Hydroxyl Radical Generation and Organic Compound Oxidation in Mineral-Catalyzed Fenton-like Systems

Kwan, Wai P., Voelker, Bettina M.·2003·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

The iron oxide-catalyzed production of hydroxyl radical (*OH) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been used to oxidize organic contaminants in soils and groundwater. The goals of this study are to determine which factors control the generation rate of *OH (VOH) and to show that if VOH and the rate constants of the reactions of *OH with the system's constituents are known, the oxidation rate of a dissolved organic compound can be predicted. Using 14C-labeled formic acid as a probe, we measured VOH in pH 4 slurries of H2O2 and either synthesized ferrihydrite, goethite, or hematite or a natural iron oxide-coated quartzitic aquifer sand. In all of our experiments, VOH was proportional to the product of the concentrations of surface area of the iron oxide and H2O2, although different solids produced *OH at different rates. We used these results to develop a model of the decomposition rate of formic acid as a function of the initial formic acid and hydrogen peroxide concentrations and of the type and quantity of iron oxide. Our model successfully predicted the VOH and organic compound oxidation rates observed in our aquifer sand experiment and in a number of other studies but overpredicted VOH and oxidation rates in other cases, possibly indicating that unknown reactants are either interfering with *OH production or consuming *OH in these systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
