Abstract:The combination of TiO2-assisted photocatalysis and ozonation (TiO2/UV/O-3) to degrade H-acid (1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid) was investigated. It was observed that a synergistic effect occurs in this process. The effects of O-3 dosage, initial solution pH and initial concentration of H-acid on the efficiency of the process were also studied. The results showed that COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal rate increased with increasing O-3 dosage whereas initial solution pH had little effect. An H-acid solution of 500-2000 mg/L could be efficiently degraded using TiO2/UV/O-3. The intermediates formed in the early phase of degradation were studied using UV-vis absorption spectra, IC, HPLC-MS and IR; four possible intermediates, 1-amino-5,7,8-trihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid, 1-amino-2,4,5,8-tetrahydroxynaph-thalene-3,6-disulfonic acid, 8-hydroxy-1,2-naphthoquinone-3,6-disulfonic acid and 8-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone-3,6-disulfonic acid, were proposed.
