Abstract

When sponge iron was activated by immersion in acid or nickel salt solutions, its activity for the degradation of trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) in water was significantly increased. The experimental results showed that the degradation of TCAA by sponge iron is a first order reaction, and being activated by immersion in acid or nickel salts neither changed the order of the degradation reaction nor greatly affected the activation energy, but did significantly increase the apparent rate constant of the reaction, kobs, by factors of three and eight, respectively. Moreover, a decrease in the radius of the sponge iron and an increase in the amount of sponge iron acting on a fixed volume of TCAA (mFe/VTCAA) both resulted in an increase in the degradation rate. The apparent rate constant of the degradation of TCAA by sponge iron activated by nickel salts reached 0.855h-1 when the reaction was carried out at 20℃ with mFe/VTCAAequal to 50g/L.
