ABSTRACT
In order to effectively remove nitrobenzene-containing wastewater, nitrobenzene was degraded by
heterogeneous Fenton system in this study. CuO/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by different methods
and conditions. The characteristics of CuO/Al2O3 were analyzed by BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD)
and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Among them, the specific surface area, pore volume and
pore size of CuO/Al2O3 were characterized by BET; the phase and crystallinity of the CuO/Al2O3 were
determined by XRD; the surface morphology of the CuO/Al2O3 was observed by SEM. Nitrobenzene
concentration was determined by HPLC. The nitrobenzene-containing wastewater was degraded
by a heterogeneous Fenton-Like system catalyzed with prepared CuO/Al2O3. The results showed that
the optimal preparation method of the catalyst was the deposition precipitation method. The optimal
conditions of the catalyst were as follows: the loading content of CuO was 5%, the calcination
temperature of CuO was 400ºC, the calcination time of CuO was 3 h, and the calcination temperature of
Al2O3 carrier was 400ºC. The removal rate of nitrobenzene reached 84.37% under this condition. This
study shows that the nitrobenzene could be effectively degraded in a heterogeneous Fenton-like system
catalyzed by CuO/Al2O3.
