REMOVAL OF PHENOL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS BY INTERNAL MICROELECTROLYSIS ON THE Fe-Cu MATERIALS

Abstract

Fe-Cu materials are preprared by chemical plating method from Fe powder and solution CuSO4 5%, then determine the characteristics of surface morphology, structure, composition by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). Materials Fe-Cu is used removal of phenol from aqueous solution by internal microelectrolysis. The results show that with optimal conditions for phenol decomposition is pH of 3, contact time of 12 hourss, material weight of 1.0 g, shaking rate of 200 revolutions per minute (rpm), phenol removal efficiency is 92.7%., with the initial concentration is 100.98 mg/L. The results show that materials Fe-Cu can be applied to remove phenol from aqueous solution by internal microelectrolysis
