Study on Treatment of Basic Yellow 28 dye Wastewater by Micro-nano Bubble Ozone Catalytic Oxidation

Abstract

Mn loaded AC (Mn/AC), Cu loaded AC (Cu/AC), and Fe loaded AC (Fe/AC) catalysts were prepared by the impregnation-calcination method, which can be used to degrade Basic Yellow 28 dyes in simulated printing and dyeing wastewater for catalytic ozonation. The catalyst preparation and reaction conditions were optimized with the degradation efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and the absorbance of some organic compounds under 254 nm UV light (UV254) as indicators. The surface structure, specific surface area, and active component distribution of the catalysts were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization. Results indicated that Mn was the best active component, and a catalyst dosage of 3.5 g/L, an initial pH of 9.4, and an initial temperature of 31.7°C were the best reaction parameters to degrade Basic Yellow 28 dyes. After five recycling experiments, the catalysts could retain a relatively stable catalytic effect. Furthermore, this study can be informative for the sustainable development of future catalysts.
