Abstract

As one of the hazardous solid wastes, iron sludge has received considerable and increasing attention for its potential damage to the environment. Thus this paper reports the reusability of iron sludge for a Fenton-type process. However, the slow transformation of Fe(III)/Fe(II) limits its repetitive and widespread application. Hence, hydroxylamine (HA), a common reducing agent, was introduced to iron-sludge/H2O2 system to accelerate the conversion of Fe(III)/Fe(II). With the addition of HA, orange G (OG) degradation was largely increased at pH 2.0-9.0, and the generation of hydroxyl-radicals was significantly promoted. It was surprised to find that the catalytic ability of iron sludge maintained constantly in the ten consecutive runs with 100% iron recovery. Thus the present study provides a promising way to reuse iron sludge for the rapid degradation of refractory organics and dispose the solid iron-based wastes.
