Batch and column experiments were conducted to test the oxidation ability of the material. Comparisons with the oxidizing agents usually used in arsenic treatment systems were also conducted. In addition, the material has been tested coupled with an iron-based arsenic sorbent, in order to verify its suitability for the dearsenication of drinking waters. IodAC exhibited a high and lasting oxidation potential, since the column tests executed on water spiked with 50 mg/L of arsenic (100% arsenite) showed that 1 cc of IodAC (30 wt% I2) can oxidize about 25 mg of As(III) (0.33 mmol) before showing a dwindling in the oxidation ability. Moreover, an improvement of the arsenic sorption capability of the tested sorbent was also proved. The results confirmed that IodAC is suitable for implementation in water dearsenication plants, in place of the commonly used oxidizing agents, such as sodium hypochlorite or potassium permanganate, and in association with arsenic sorbents.

  • Comparative Study of Oxidants in Removal of Chemical Oxygen Demand from the Wastewater (IJIRST/ Volume 4 / Issue 1/ 011)
    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 4 | Issue 1 | June 2017 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Comparative Study of Oxidants in Removal of Chemical Oxygen Demand from the Wastewater Prof Dr K N Sheth Kavita V Italia Director PG Student Geetanjali Institute of Technical Studies, Udaipur Department of Environmental Engineering Institute of Science & Technology for Advanced Studies & Research, Vallabh Vidyanagar Abstract Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) test involves chemical oxidation using chromic acid as a strong oxidizer. COD of a wastewater sample is the amount of oxidant- potassium dichromate that reacts with the sample when it is heated for 2 hours under controlled environmental conditions and result is expressed as mg of oxidant consumed per liter of a given sample of wastewater. COD can be helpful in determining the quantity required for dilution needed for conducting Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) five day test. In the present investigation attempts have been made to use other oxidants like hydrogen peroxide H2O2, sodium hypo-chlorite, calcium hypo-chlorite and potassium permanganate for measurement of COD by standard method and compare the results obtained using potassium dichromate as strong oxidant. Experiments were carried out for each oxidizing agent for COD removal at temperatures like 1000C, 750C and 500C. The duration of exposure time in each experimental set up was taken as temperature wise, for 1000C, it was 1-5 minutes , for 750C it was 20-40 minutes and for 500C it was 45-75 minutes. It was found that temperature plays very important role in in deciding the exposure time to be allocated for reduction of COD.

    Pre-Health Post-Baccalaureate Program Study Guide and Practice Problems Course: CHM2046 Textbook Chapter: 21.1 (Silberberg 6e) Topics Covered: Redox Reactions and Electrochemical Cells Created by Isaac Loy 1. Review Understanding this chapter’s material will depend on an in- depth understanding of redox reactions, which were first covered last semester in ch. 4. We will review redox reactions in this study guide, but it would be wise to review ch. 4 if you are having difficulty with this material. Redox reactions will also be incredibly important moving forward into organic chemistry and biochemistry. 2. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions The mnemonic that you will come back to time and time again for this topic is: “LEO the lion says GER” Where “LEO” stands for Loss of Electrons = Oxidation And “GER” stands for Gain of Electrons = Reduction The oxidizing agent (the substance that is being reduced) pulls electrons from the substance that is being oxidized. The reducing agent (the substance that is being oxidized) gives electrons to the substance that is being reduced. Oxidation and reduction are simultaneous processes. In order for a redox reaction to take place, one substance must be oxidized and the other must be reduced. When working with oxidation numbers to solve problems, the substance being oxidized (LEO -> loss of electrons) becomes more positive. Likewise, the substance being reduced (GER -> gaining electrons) becomes more negative. 3. Using Half-Reactions to Solve Redox Problems Follow the steps below to create half-reactions. It is crucial that you follow the steps in order! A. Split up the overall reaction into two half-reactions, where the species of one reaction is being oxidized, and the species of the other reaction is being reduced.

  • 20 More About Oxidation–Reduction Reactions
    More About 20 Oxidation–Reduction Reactions OOC n important group of organic reactions consists of those that O A involve the transfer of electrons C from one molecule to another. Organic chemists H OH use these reactions—called oxidation–reduction reactions or redox reactions—to synthesize a large O variety of compounds. Redox reactions are also important C in biological systems because many of these reactions produce HH energy. You have seen a number of oxidation and reduction reactions in other chapters, but discussing them as a group will give you the opportunity to CH3OH compare them. In an oxidation–reduction reaction, one compound loses electrons and one com- pound gains electrons. The compound that loses electrons is oxidized, and the one that gains electrons is reduced. One way to remember the difference between oxidation and reduction is with the phrase “LEO the lion says GER”: Loss of Electrons is Oxi- dation; Gain of Electrons is Reduction. The following is an example of an oxidation–reduction reaction involving inorganic reagents: Cu+ + Fe3+ ¡ Cu2+ + Fe2+ In this reaction,Cu+ loses an electron, so Cu+ is oxidized. Fe3+ gains an electron, so Fe3+ is reduced. The reaction demonstrates two important points about oxidation– reduction reactions. First, oxidation is always coupled with reduction. In other words, a compound cannot gain electrons (be reduced) unless another compound in the reaction simultaneously loses electrons (is oxidized). Second, the compound that is oxidized (Cu+) is called the reducing agent because it loses the electrons that are used to reduce the other compound (Fe3+). Similarly, the compound that is reduced (Fe3+) is called the oxidizing agent because it gains the electrons given up by the other compound (Cu+) when it is oxidized.
