TL;DR: In this paper, the qualitative effects of major anions and cations present in waste-water on the reduction of DNTs by Fe 0 were investigated and shown that the presence of Na 2 SO 4 and NaCl at levels between 0.25 and 2 mmol L -1 was observed to enhance the reactivity of Fe 0 towards 2,4-DNT.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Dinitrotoluenes (DNTs) are environmentally persistent, making the remediation of contaminated streams and groundwater difficult. Zero-valent iron (Fe 0 ) can be used as an electron source for the reduction of recalcitrant DNTs in waste-water and thus enhance their biodegradability. However, little is known about the qualitative effects of major anions and cations present in waste-water on the reduction of DNTs by Fe 0 . RESULTS: The presence of Na 2 SO 4 and NaCl at levels between 0.25 and 2 mmol L -1 was observed to enhance the reactivity of Fe 0 towards 2,4-DNT. The positive effect of K 2 SO 4 is stronger than that of Na 2 SO 4 at the same level (1 mmol L -1 ). Varying (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 from 0.1 to 1.0 mmol L -1 improved the efficiency of 2,4-DNT degradation by Fe 0 . The effects of varying NaNO 3 and NaNO 2 from 0 mmol L -1 to 4.7 mmol L -1 and 0 mmol L -1 to 5.8 mmol L -1 , respectively, were also investigated. Both NaNO 3 and NaNO 2 at low concentration improved the efficiency of 2,4-DNT degradation by Fe 0 , however, at high concentration, inhibiting effects appeared. CONCLUSION: SO 4 2- , Cl - , Na + , K + and NH 4 + notably enhanced 2,4-DNT reduction by Fe 0 at the tested concentrations. The positive effect of K + , Cl - was relatively stronger than that of Na + and sulfate (SO 4 2- ). However, the effect of NH 4 + was relatively weaker at concentrations greater than 1.0 mmol L -1 . The presence of low concentrations of NO 3 - and NO 2 - promoted 2,4-DNT reduction by Fe 0 and inhibited the reaction. The results suggest that 2,4-DNT reduction by Fe 0 can be controlled by the ions composition of the waste-water.
