Abstract:Aiming at the problem of refractory degradation of organic matters in high-salt wastewater from coal chemical industry, an active alumina-type catalyst loaded with active metal oxide was prepared by an impregnation-calcination method. The effects of catalyst preparation and reaction conditions on COD removal rate from wastewater were investigated. The experimental results showed that the catalytic performance of activated alumina carrier was better than that of ceramsite, and activated alumina supported with Cu, Mn, Ni had high catalytic activity, of which the MnOx-NiOx/γ-Al2O3 catalyst prepared by the combination of the two active components could catalyze the ozone oxidation reaction with 51.3% COD removal after 60 minutes. The catalyst was characterized and analyzed by BET, SEM-EDS, XRD. The results showed that Mn, Ni elements were successfully loaded on the surface and pores of activated alumina, and their molar ratio was about 2∶1, and their oxide forms mainly appeared. Through calculating the ozone utilization efficiency, the η value of the MnOx-NiOx/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was lower than that of ozone alone. This implied that the MnOx-NiOx/γ-Al2O3 catalyst could effectively decompose ozone into ROS. After optimizing the dosage of ozone and the dosage of the catalyst, the optimum dosages of catalyst and ozone were 100 g·L?1 and 350 mg·(L·h)?1, respectively, at which the COD removal rate could reach 72.3% after 180 min reaction. After 4 hours ozone catalytic oxidation, the stability and reusability of MnOx-NiOx/γ-Al2O3 were good, COD removal rate maintained about 42% and the release amounts of manganese and nickel ions were less than 0.5 mg·L?1. This study can provide a reference for the development of an efficient ozone catalytic system and its application in the field of high-salt wastewater treatment in the coal chemical industry. Key words:high-salt wastewater in coal chemical industry/ MnOx-NiOx/γ-Al2O3 catalyst/ COD removal rate/ ozone catalytic oxidation.
