New photo-Fenton catalysts have been prepared from synthetic layered clay laponite (laponite RD). Two series of Fe-laponite catalysts were synthesised, with or without thermal treatment of the mixture Fe polycations-laponite in the intercalation procedure. in each series, the intercalated solids underwent calcination at four temperatures, 250, 350, 450, and 550 degrees C. The catalysts were used for photo-assisted Fenton conversion of phenol, analyzing the influence of five operating factors: the wavelength of the light source (254 nm UV-C and 360 UV-A radiation), the amount of the catalyst (between 0 and 2 g/L), the initial phenol concentration (between 0.5 and 1.5 mmol/L), the initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide (between 20 and 100 mmol/L), and the initial pH of the solution (between 2.5 and 3.5). In all experiments, the temperature was kept constant at 30 degrees C. The results have shown that the almost complete conversion of phenol was possible, after only 5 min, under the following operating conditions: UV-C radiation; a pH of the aqueous solution of 3; a dose of 1 g(catalyst)/L, and a hydrogen peroxide concentration of 50 mmol/L for a solution containing I mmol/L of phenol. The catalyst prepared under thermal treatment and calcined at 350 degrees C showed the best catalytic performance. A kinetic model was proposed for the process, testing its validity and Estimating the rate constants. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
