Abstract
2,2,3,3-Tetra-fluoro-propanol (TFP) has been extensively used in compact disk-recordable and digital versatile disk-recordable manufacture and a large amount of wastewater containing the chemical is being discharged. This investigation evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of the use of UV, , and to degrade aqueous TFP. TFP oxidation tests were performed with initial TFP concentrations of with various solution pH values (acidic, alkaline, uncontrolled), solution temperatures (26, 37, 48, and ), and UV wavelengths (254 and ). Experimental results demonstrated that alkaline conditions favor the TFP degradation and increase the mass of TFP decomposition per unit mass of ozone consumption, in both and processes. There was no significant difference in the rate of TFP degradation when using either or . TFP exhibited zero-order degradation kinetics when sufficient ozone was supplied. A higher oxidation temperature was found to be no help for the oxidation of TFP in the tested concentration and temperature ranges. The cost of the or per unit volume of wastewater with an initial TFP concentration of is comparable to that of the Fered–Fenton process as described in the literature.
