1. Introduction
CC
Chlorinated volatile organic compounds are widely used in the chemical industry
in the past several applications as lubricants, heat transfer fluids, plasticizers, cleaning
A
fluids, degreasing agents, spot removers, and cleaning solvents. Carbon tetrachloride
(CT) is one of the most commonly used among the chlorinated volatile compounds
and has been widely observed in the National Priority List (NPL) sites of USA [1]. CT
is an onerous contaminant due to its carcinogenicity, environmental persistence, and
relatively high solubility in water (805 mg/L at 20°C) [2]; it is commonly found in
contaminant level of 5 µg/L [3]. In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is a fast, cost
effective and viable remediation technology for the treatment of a wide range of lower
aqueous-based ISCO system, selections of oxidant and novel activators are the key for
PT
the chemical oxidation technology. Four main oxidants such as permanganate
RI
(MnO4-), Fenton's reagent (H2O2), ozone (O3), and persulfate (PS, S2O82-) are often
SC
used at ISCO sites. Permanganate can be directly injected into the subsurface, and no
U
other activation is needed. However, the reactivity of permanganate limits the range
N
organic matter. Ozone is reactive with a larger range of contaminants, but is limited
M
by its mass transfer, solubility and stability. Among the oxidants, PS and Fenton’s
D
reagent are two of the effective oxidants which are mostly being used for ISCO in the
TE
organic contaminants, and no cases could be found where the excessive persistence of

proven to be the very promising technique for the treatment of refractory pollutants.
Compared with HO• mostly used in ISCO based on Fenton’s reagent, PS has been
recently proven to be a powerful oxidant that can produce sulfate radicals (SO4•-, E0 =

potential (E0 = 2.01 V), and it can be transported over a longer distance in the
PT
SO4•- is a more aggressive oxidizing agent than the PS anion [6]. Owing to its strong
RI
oxidizing potential, thermally activated PS system has been applied for the treatment
SC
of many pollutants, such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, phenol,
U
methylene blue, antipyrine, and diuron [8,10,11,12,13,14]. Among the transition
N
metals, ferrous iron has been widely used to activate PS since it is relatively

inexpensive, nontoxic and effective [15]. Iron activated PS system must be carried out
M
under acidic condition since ferric ions would be precipitated as hydroxide at pH > 5.
D
may be preferred. Moreover, the excessive Fe2+ can act as a scavenger of SO4•- and
EP
iron sludge generated during the treatment might block the transportation of reagents.

The use of zero valent iron would overcome the disadvantages. Zero valent iron is
used as an alternative source of ferrous ion, and recycling ferric ion to ferrous ion

which can avoid the accumulation of excess ferrous iron and reduce the production of
Thermally activated PS system has been carried out to effectively remove the

the main activated oxygen species responsible for CT degradation; and (3) to evaluate
the influence of the solution pH, solution matrix, and solvents addition on CT

In order to identify the dominating reactive oxygen species for CT degradation in

the solvated electrons, nitrate was used as the scavenger of solvated electron that
EP
reacts rapidly with solvated electrons (ke = 9.7 × 109 M-1s-1) but not with other
CC
reductants [19]. In order to investigate the role of O2•-, benzoquinone was added to
3 min using a vortex stirrer and standing for 5 min for separation. The organic phase
(CT in hexane) was then transferred to a 2-mL GC vial with a plastic dropper. CT was
analyzed using a gas chromatograph (Agilent 7890A, Palo Alto, CA) equipped with

detector were 240℃ and 260℃, respectively, and the oven temperature was held
PT

Statistically, the degradation of CT fitted well to the pseudo-first order kinetic model.
kobs is the pseudo-first order reaction rate constant, which can be calculated from the
slope of the line after plotting ln(C0/Ci) against time [23]. As shown in Fig. 1, kobs was

calculated to be 0.034 h-1 and CT degradation performance could be well fitted to the

values of kobs,PS obtained from this study for PS decomposition with or without CT are
roughly the same as 0.014 h-1, which was similar to the value reported by Johnson's
experiment [28], indicating that CT would not directly react with PS anions. The

hydrogen abstraction and addition more readily, while SO4•- is much prone to electron
generated by radical involving reactions between H2O2 and HO•/SO4•- (Eqs. 10-11).
Although HO2• is not a reductant and is only a weak oxidant [36], superoxide radical
anion (O2•-, E0 = -2.4 V) could be formed from further propagation reaction as shown
in Eq. 12. Teel and Watts studied the degradation of CT by modified Fenton's reagent
[37], and demonstrated that CT was degraded through a reductive mechanism. There

the addition of tert-butyl alcohol or isopropanol, i.e. more than 98% CT was degraded
tert-butyl alcohol or isopropanol addition indicates that HO• and SO4•- were not main
reactants and other radicals generated simultaneously during the reaction were
magnified and could rather be responsible for the degradation of CT. This might be
related to the solvent shell surrounding the reactive species with the addition of
solvents, and it will be further discussed in the later context. HO2• is not likely to
significantly affect the degradation of CT due to its lower oxidation potential than
HO• [40]. Che and Lee found that oxidative degradation by HO• and/or HO2• [41],

This phenomenon indicated that the generation and intensity of O2•- was highly

The variation of CT degradation efficiency in the thermally activated PS system

with different initial CT concentrations, ranging from 5 µM to 1000 µM, was

investigated and the results are shown in Fig. 3(b). While increasing the initial CT

concentration, the CT degradation rate was slightly reduced from 0.049 h-1 to 0.034

h-1 as shown in Table 2. When the initial concentration of CT was below 10 µM, the
A
CT degradation rates were almost the same. There was no significant concentration
M
effect on CT degradation at low initial CT concentrations, and this was due to the
D
generation of proper amount of O2•- with respect to CT. But when the initial CT
TE
concentration was higher than 10 µM, the CT degradation rate decreased due to the
EP
limited quantity of O2•- in the system. Che et al. discussed the degradation kinetics of

Fig. 4(b) displayed the degradation of CT when the concentration of Cl- varied
U
from 1 mM to 100 mM. When the concentrations of Cl- were 1, 10 and 100 mM, the
N
CT degradation rates were 78.9%, 72.3% and 40.0%, respectively. High concentration
A
of Cl- in the system showed magnificent effect of inhibition. Cl- is known to compete
M
with CT for O2•- (Eq. 13), and hence reduce the degradation of CT [52]. The reactions
D
in Eqs. 15-17 describe the production of the free chlorine atom (Cl•) from reactions
TE
with SO4•- and HO• [53,54]. The Cl• is unstable in aqueous systems; if Cl-
EP
concentrations are sufficiently high, it would complex with a Cl- to form the Cl2•- (Eq.
CC

trichloroethane [56].

As shown in Fig, 4(c), CT degradation was reduced with the addition of HCO3-
SC
from 1 mM to 100 mM. HCO3- can directly react with O2•-, and the product CO3•- can
U
also react with O2•- to inhibit the degradation of CT (Eqs. 21-22) [57,58]. It can be
N
seen that the higher concentration of HCO3- showed weak inhibition compared to the
A
lower ones. The reason might be that HCO4- could be generated through the
M
equilibrium between HCO3- and H2O2 in aqueous solution [59]. The decomposition of
D
HCO4- could further generate other active oxygen species in situ such as O2•- and 1O2,

which was benefit to CT degradation [60]. Mucka et al. investigated the radiation

Humic substances are the most abundant components of the colloidal and the
dissolved fraction of natural organic matter and they are characterized by a strong
binding capacity for both metals and organic pollutants, affecting their mobility and

CT degradation dramatically increased when the tert-butyl alcohol or isopropanol

were added to the solution as shown in Fig. 2. This result indicated that the

degradation of CT in the thermally activated PS system may be significantly

N
reported in Che and Lee's research when they studied the degradation of chlorinated
A
aliphatic compounds by Fenton reaction in pyrite suspension and found that the
M
degradation of CT was enhanced from 80% to 90% by the isopropanol addition in the
D
pyrite Fenton system [51]. Moreover, the addition of solvents having low polarity

in CT degradation studied by Smith et al. [40] Although O2•- is a reactive radical for
CC
reactivity in pure water (polar solvent) due to its high degree solvation, resulting in
A
activated PS system, the reactions were repeated with the addition of equimolar
concentrations of four solvents. The reactions were conducted with 0.05 M PS and 1
increased with the addition of the four solvent (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and
acetone). More than 99% of CT was degraded in the reaction time with the addition of
methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol, while 67.6% CT was degraded in 90 min with
acetone addition. The increased reactivity of O2•- in water solvent system is likely due
to the changes in the solvent shell surrounding O2•-. The data of Fig. 5 were obtained
PT
in reactions that contained a mixture of water and less polar compounds in the bulk
RI
solution, which likely resulted in a mixture of water and less polar molecules in the
SC
shell surrounding O2•-; the proportion of the less polar molecules in the solvent shell
U
might actually be higher than that in the bulk solution [62]. The mixed solvent shell
N
may have characteristics of both the less polar compound and water, resulting in an
A
Fig. 5 that there was a time lag in the reactions with the addition of solvents. The
D
reason might be due to the scavenging effect of the solvent to HO• and SO4•-,
TE
therefore reduced the reactions of Eqs. 8-11, and further inhibited the formation of
EP
O2•- at the beginning of the reaction. The lag time of CT degradation highly related to
CC
the empirical solvent polarity of the solvent, and shorter lag time was achieved in less
polar solvent (ETN: acetone < isopropanol < ethanol < methanol) as shown in Table 3.
A
In addition, each solvent had a different effect on the PS decomposition rate in the
mM, when more than 99% of CT was degraded with the addition of isopropanol,
ethanol and methanol, respectively. The utilization efficiency of PS is higher in less
polar of the solvent. The solvent of less polar increases the reactivity of O2•-, and is
also investigated in the thermally activated PS system and the results are shown in Fig.
PT
and led to faster CT degradation.
