- Abstract
Three polystyrene (PS) resin microspheres supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), i.e., nZVI@PS, nZVI@PS-Cl, and nZVI@PS-N, were prepared and characterized by FT-IR, XPS, SEM, EDS, and weighing method. The functional groups on the carriers showed obvious influence on the loading quantity, the micro morphology, and the reduction efficiency of these supported nZVI. The best hybrid reducer was nZVI@PS-N. The load quantity of nZVI was 0.2476 g/g, and some of them were dispersed and the others remained as particles (≤ 50 nm). At optimal reaction conditions, i.e., initial solution pH = 3, 25 °C, 100 r/min stirring, 99% nitrobenzene (NB) in 250 mL 123.1 mg/L NB solution could be totally reduced into AN by 1.31 g fresh nZVI@PS-N within 20 min. The excellent reduction efficiency and fast degradation rate of nZVI@PS-N were mainly attributed to the synergistic effects between the good adsorption property of its carrier and the high reduction activity of nZVI particles. NZVI@PS-N was reproducible and recycled, and 90.6% degradation ratio of NB was till obtained at its seventh recycle. The results showed that nZVI@PS-N had high potential practical application value in the reductive degradation and emergency rescue of nitrobenzene pollutant.
