ABSTRACT

Into the photooxidation process, several factors such as pH, time of irradiation, dose of UV light, lamp power, contaminant concentration, turbidity of the solution and the presence of salts can interfere with the photodegradation of pollutants. This research aims to evaluate the influence of salts: NaCl, MgCl2, CaCl2, BaCl2, CuCl2, Na2SO4, MgSO4, MnSO4, FeSO4, CuSO4, Na3PO4, K2CrO4 and K2Cr2O7 in concentrations of 0.0005 M, 0.005 M and 0.05 M during photodegradation of aqueous solution of 59.5 mg/L of nitrobenzene at a pH of 2.5. It was observed that the presence of salts such as CuCl2, CuSO4, FeSO4, K2CrO4 and K2Cr2O7 interfere negatively in the system UV/H2O2 applied for degradation of nitrobenzene; possibly by oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ and Cu+ to Cu2+ in the Cr case, due to the difficulty of transforming the Cr6+ to Cr3+ or because these solutions have color and act as radiation absorbing filter.

KEYWORDS
