title: Oxidation of 2,4-dinitrophenol by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of basic oxygen furnace slag.
abstract: A treatment process was developed when basic oxygen furnace slag (BOF slag) and hydrogen peroxide were used to oxidize 2, 4-dinitrophenol from an aqueous solution. BOF slag, final waste slurry from steel making plants, contains about 12.5% by weight of ferrous oxide. In an acid solution, BOF slag can be dissociated to produce ferrous ions and react with hydrogen peroxide to produce hydroxyl radicals and oxidize 2,4-dinitrophenol. The results of the research demonstrated that the process had a significant capacity for oxidation of 2,4-dinitrophenol from the aqueous phase. Various factors critical to the oxidation of 2,4-dinitrophenol were studied, including hydrogen peroxide concentration, concentration of BOF slag, initial concentration of 2,4-dinitrophenol, and pH value of solution. Experimental results proved that 100 mg/L 2, 4-dinitrophenol and its oxidation intermediate could be totally decomposed within 60 min by 10 g/L BOF slag, 0.18 g/L hydrogen peroxide and pH 2.8 +/- 0.2. The optimum hydrogen peroxide concentration for degradation of 100 mg/L of 2,4-dinitrophenol is between 0.09 g/L and 0.18 g/L as 10 g/L BOF slag in the solution of pH 2.8 +/- 0.2. A hydrogen peroxide concentration higher than 0.18 g/L is disadvantageous to the oxidation process. The oxidation efficiency increased with the increase of BOF slag concentration at 0.18 g/L hydrogen peroxide dose. The best pH value of the solution is in the vicinity of 2.8. An oxidation reaction mechanism was proposed for predicting the concentration changes of 2, 4-dinitrophenol, ferrous ion, and hydrogen peroxide.http://link. springer-ny.com/link/service/journals/00244/bibs/37n4p427.++ +html</HEA
