Abstract: Ultrasound enhanced zero-valent iron (ZVI) activated persulfate process to degrade 1,4-dioxane in groundwater was studied, and the effects of ultrasound, ZVI dosage, concentration of persulfate and carbonate ions were also investigated. ZVI was characterized by X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that ultrasound can accelerate the generation of sulfate radicals and Fe2+, and enhance the degradation of 1,4-dioxane. The degradation efficiency can be increased through increasing ZVI dosage and persulfate concentration;however, the final degradation efficiency of 1,4-dioxane decreases when Fe0 dosage is much more than persulfate. The presence of carbonate ions in groundwater reduces the concentration of sulfate radicals, thus the efficiency of 1,4-dioxane degradation decreases with the increase of carbonate concentration. In conclusion, ultrasound enhanced ZVI-activated persulfate process can effectively degrade 1,4-dioxane, is a promising method in the treatment of 1,4-dioxane in groundwater.

Key words: zero-valent iron, persulfate, 1,4-dioxane, ultrasound, groundwater
