Abstract:Atrazine is a kind of widely used herbicide, its manufacturing wastewater was characterized as high concentration of organic compounds and high salinity, which causes difficulty in treatment. In this study, a catalyst of activated carbon supported ferric iron (AC-Fe3+) was developed for the photocatalytic ozonization of atrazine manufacturing wastewater, and its performance was evaluated. The effects of catalyst dosage, UV power, and aeration intensity on the degradation of COD and NH3-N were investigated, and the degradation mechanism and adsorption-degradation kinetics of the photocatalytic oxidation system were also analyzed. The results showed that the degradation effect was significantly improved by the photocatalytic oxidation system with AC-Fe3+, which could effectively mitigate the adverse effects of high salinity on the treatment process. Under the treatment conditions of catalyst dosage of 40 g·L?1, UV power of 14 w, and aeration intensity of 800 L·h?1, the removal rates of COD and NH3-N could reach 70.9% and 87.7%, respectively. The findings would provide a new approach for high efficient treatment of high-salinity and high organic loading industry wastewater. Key words:atrazine manufacturing wastewater/ photocatalytic ozonization/ high salinity/ hydroxyl radical/ activated carbon supported catalyst.
