The catalytic effectiveness and mechanism of Fe/pumice in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) is investigated in batch mode. The results indicate that Fe/pumice significantly increased the removal efficiency of p-CNB, the utilization efficiency of ozone, and the production of hydroxyl radical ((OH)-O-center dot) relative to pumice during catalytic ozonation. The mesopority of the Fe/pumice surface is a key factor due to its ozone adsorption ability. The surface hydroxyl groups on Fe/pumice metal oxides are ozone decomposition sites. The dominant oxide species in the ozonation reaction process is (OH)-O-center dot. The zero-charged surfaces of the Fe/pumice was favorable for catalytic ozonation. The results of the investigation of the enhancement mechanism confirm that Fe-modified pumice increases the number of surface hydroxyl groups and the degree of ozone adsorption on the catalyst surface, resulting in enhanced collision probability between surface hydroxyl groups on Fe/pumice metal oxides and ozone molecules to accelerate (OH)-O-center dot from ozone decomposition and to promote p-CNB removal from aqueous solution.
