Abstract
In this study, simultaneous removal of an organic matter (diazinon, DIZ) and an inorganic substance (chromium, Cr) was used. Breaking down of organic matter by UV irradiation produces various radicals, including sulfides, carboxyl, hydroxyl, hydrated electrons, and various organic radicals that are highly reactive and help us to precipitation inorganic substance (Cr). The optimal condition was 30:1 DIZ:Cr molar ratio, pH 9, and about 100% and 82.3% of DIZ and Cr were obtained in 30min. Cr deposition was very slow at first. After the destruction of the DIZ structure, Cr deposition began, and various types of sludge with disturbed properties were formed. These sledges were analyzed by FTIR analysis and showed that green sludge could be chromium (III) hydroxide; brown sludge due to chromium (III) hydroxide, tiny green crystals from chromium (III) oxide, red brick from chromium (II) acetate chromium trioxide, as well as black sludge caused by chromium oxide were identified. In UV/DIZ/Cr process, kobs and robs range obtained 0.33-0.15 and 16.8-23.4 $ with both Cr and DIZ concentration increased from 50 to 150mg L-1. Also, EEO for Cr precipitation was 24.65 to 5.74 and for DIZ 12.54 to 4.73 (kwh m-3). Depending on the amount of energy consumption, TCS was 37.19 to 10.47 for Cr precipitation and 4.46 to 1.25 $. It is important to note that when both pollutants are exposed to ultraviolet light, more energy and cost are generally required from UV/DIZ process and less than of UV/Cr process. But it should be noted that in fact 50mg L-1 of chromium and 50mg L-1 of DIZ are being removed at the same time. In UV/DIZ and UV/Cr processes that are exposed to ultraviolet radiation alone, only one of them is removed. Also, when these two pollutants are being removed at the same time, the total amount of energy is much less than the total energy consumption of the pollutants one by one.
