摘要
Batch tests were conducted to investigate reduction of nitrobenzene in a zerovalent iron system (Fe-0) under various conditions. The results indicated that a limited amount of nitrobenzene (ArNO2) could be reduced to aniline by Fe-0, but formation of a lepidocrocite (gamma-FeOOH) coating could significantly slow down the reaction. However, augmenting Fen with substoichiometric FeCl2 could dramatically accelerate the reaction. Surface-adsorbed Fe(II), not pH nor Cl-, was found to be responsible for rejuvenating the system. 02 and nitrobenzene could be concomitantly reduced by Fe-0 in the presence of Fe 2,. In the Fe-0 system, both nitrobenzene and O-2 favored formation of lepidocrocite; in the presence of aq. Fe(II), a stratified corrosion coating could develop, with magnetite (Fe3O4) as the inner layer and lepidocrocite as the outer layer. Fe2+ was not the main reductant for the reactions, but might accelerate the autoreduction of lepidocrocite to magnetite by the underlying Fe-0. our understanding on the role of Fe(II) in conjunction with a stratified, evolving corrosion coating may be useful for establishing an iron aquatic corrosion model.
