RESUMO

2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCF), the model pollutant selected in this work, is a compound used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, antiseptics, and commonly found in industrial wastewaters. It is considered a priority pollutant due to its high toxicity and high persistence in the environment. This study investigated the degradation of 2,4-DCF in a tubular photochemical reactor with compound parabolic collectors (CPC) irradiated by the sun, operated in batch with recirculation and continuous feed of hydrogen peroxide at a flow rate of 11 mL min-1. The oxidation of the pollutant was based on the photo-Fenton process catalyzed by tris (oxalate) ferrate (III) (FeOx). The effects of the following variables were investigated: initial concentration of 2,4-DCF ([2,4-DCF] = 21-520 mgCL-1), concentrations of oxidant ([H2O2] = 9,9-130 Mm)); photocatalyst ([FeOx]= 0,2-1,8 mM)), and photon collection surface (0,196-0,98 m2), according to a Doehlert design on multiple levels. The photo-oxidation was monitored by measurements of the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) and dissolved oxygen (OD). Conditions with TOC removal achieving 99.8% within 90 minutes of treatment were identified. The statistical analysis of the results showed that the effects of photon collection area and the concentration of H2O2 agreed with the expected behavior, but suggests scavenging effects of hydroxyl radicals when the concentration of H2O2 is high. From the experimental data, a model of neural networks was obtained and used to predict the rate of TOC removal with time. Using the method HIPR (Holdback Input Randomization Method) and the weights associated with each input variable to the neural network, the relative importance of input variables was determined. Overall, the results proved the feasibility of photo-Fenton process catalyzed by tris(oxalate) ferrate III and irradiated by the sun, for the treatment of aqueous effluents containing 2,4-dichlorophenol.
