Evidence for an Additional Oxidant in the Photoassisted Fenton Reaction

Pignatello, Joseph J., Liu, Di, Huston, Patrick·1999·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

The photo-Fenton reaction (Fe 3+ + H 2 O 2 + UV) has potential applications in wastewater treatment. This reaction was compared to H 2 O 2 photolysis and other reactions that produce only hydroxyl radicals (OH • ) in order to probe for additional or alternative intermediates that may contribute to the recognized potency of photo-Fenton as an oxidant of organic compounds. Distinct differences were found between photo-Fenton and genuine OH • reactions. The kinetic deuterium isotope effect (KDIE) for cyclohexane in the photo-Fenton reaction increases from 1.2 to 1.4 with increasing concentration of OH • scavenger, tert -butyl alcohol; whereas the KDIE in genuine OH • reactions (H 2 O 2 /UV, Fe 3+ /UV, and Fe 2+ + H 2 O 2 ) is 1.1 and unchanged in the presence of tert -butyl alcohol. Photo-Fenton catalyzed the epoxidation of cyclohexene at a much greater rate than H 2 O 2 /UV. The relative yields of chlorinated organic acids from 1,1,2-trichloroethane, trichloroethene, and tetrachloroethene oxidation were markedly affected by the presence of iron. Time-resolved laser flash photolysis spectroscopy in the absence of organics revealed a transient, seen only in Fe 3+ + H 2 O 2 solutions, with broad absorbance in the visible and a lifetime of ∼100 ns. The results suggest the participation of a high-valent oxoiron complex (ferryl) in addition to OH • in organic compound oxidations. Hydrogen peroxide forms a complex with iron, Fe(O 2 H) 2+ ( K 15 = 1.15 × 10 - 2 ), that absorbs in the visible region and could be the precursor of the ferryl complex.

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.
