As³⁺ removal by Ca-Mn-Fe₃O₄ with and without H₂O₂: effects of calcium oxide in Ca-Mn-Fe₃O₄ (original) (raw)

Journal of hazardous materials, 2014

Abstract

As(3+) removal by Ca-Mn-Fe3O4 composites, which contained various wt% of Ca, are investigated. Immobilization of Ca (i.e. as crystalline forms including CaO2) and Mn (i.e. as an amorphous hydrous manganese oxide) on Fe3O4 were identified, and it was revealed that the co-immobilization of Ca and Mn (i.e. especially the wt% ratio of Ca:Mn:Fe=2:3:1) provided higher Ca wt% with greater surface area. The increasing Ca wt% (i.e. 6, 14, 17, and 19%) gradually increased the reactivity of H2O2 to oxidize As(3+) to As(5+). Moreover, it is suggested that superoxide anion produced from the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 reduces Mn(4+) to Mn(2+), which is further released into solution. On the other hand, As(3+) adsorption was decreased with the highest Ca wt% in Ca-Mn-Fe3O4. It was concluded that the increasing Ca wt% positively affected As(3+) oxidation but an excess Ca wt% negatively affected As(3+) adsorption. The higher As(3+) adsorption was observed when Ca wt% was 17 (i.e. the wt% ratios...
