摘要
Emission of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is accompanied with the discharge of carbonaceous particles during the coke production. To degrade the adsorbed PAHs, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was applied as an oxidising agent, which might be activated by the inherent environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) on coke particles. The transformation of phenanthrene (PHE), selected as model molecule, was achieved in H2O2/coke particle system without the addition of additional activating agent. This process consumed the particle-bounded EPFRs, inducing the decreasing of spin density from 1.92 × 1018 to 4.4 × 1017 spins g−1 in 30 min of reaction time. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique coupled with spin-trapping agent 5, 5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) was used to probe the potential formation of reactive oxygen species. A higher capture [ (Formula presented.) ] concentration was observed with larger decreases in EPFRs concentration, indicating that EPFRs were the main contributor to the formation of (Formula presented.). The obtained results suggested that the activation of H2O2 by EPFRs on coke particles resulted in the generation of hydroxyl radical ((Formula presented.)), which then back-reacted with adsorbed PHE. The finding of this study shed light on a new remediation technology for toxic carbonaceous byproducts discharged during the coke production. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
