Treating Organic Pollutants in Urban Runoff Using Controlled Release Systems and Advanced Oxidation Processes

Abstract Details

2013, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Environmental Studies (Voinovich).
The study aims to develop a novel in situ chemical oxidation scheme which combines controlled-release system (CRS) and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for onsite treatment of hydrocarbons in urban runoff. Controlled-release hydrogen peroxide (CR-HP), sodium persulfate (CR-SP), and Fe2+ (CR-Fe) were manufactured by dispersing specific salts in paraffin wax matrices. Degradation efficiencies of BTEX, MTBE, and naphthalene, which are common gasoline compounds found in urban runoff, were investigated through a series of batch tests. Release rates of CR-HP, CR-SP, and CR-Fe were investigated through a series of column tests. The remedial efficiencies of this novel CR-AOPs system was evaluated by flow-through tests. The results showed that this system can degrade ~20% of MTBE, over 80% of BTEX, and over 90% of naphthalene within 3 min of reaction time.
