Preparation of CeO2 Supported on Graphite Catalyst and Its Catalytic Performance for Diethyl Phthalate Degradation during Ozonation
Catalysts for the efficient catalytic decomposition of ozone to generate reactive free radicals to oxidize pollutants are needed. The graphite-supported CeO2 catalyst was optimally prepared, and its activity in ozonation was evaluated using the degradation of diethyl phthalate (DEP) as an index. The stability of CeO2/graphite catalyst and the influence of operating conditions on its catalytic activity were investigated, and the mechanism of CeO2/graphite catalytic ozonation was analyzed. CeO2/graphite had the highest catalytic activity at a Ce load of 3.5% and a pyrolysis temperature of 400 °C with the DEP degradation efficiency of 75.0% and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency of 48.3%. No dissolution of active components was found during the repeated use of CeO2/graphite catalyst. The ozone dosage, catalyst dosage, initial pH, and reaction temperature have positive effects on the DEP degradation by CeO2/graphite catalytic ozonation. The presence of tert-butanol significantly inhibits the degradation of DEP at an initial pH of 3.0, 5.8, or 9.0, and the experimental results of the •OH probe compound pCBA indicate that the CeO2/graphite catalyst can efficiently convert ozone into •OH in solution. The DEP degradation in the CeO2/graphite catalytic ozonation mainly depends on the •OH in the bulk solution formed by ozone decomposition.
