•US/O3 is used for the first time to decolorize sulfuric acid with high organic content.•After treating for 2 h, the quality of decolorized sulfuric acid is acceptable.•25% less treatment time compared to traditional processes.•The extent of decolorization can reach 98.2% after treating for 4 h by US/O3 method.•The degree of effectiveness of different oxidizing components is O3>•OH>•O2–.
In this work, a combination of ozone (O3) and ultrasound (US) has been firstly used to decolorize black concentrated sulfuric acid with high organic content. The effect of different reaction factors on the transparency, extent of decolorization, H2SO4 mass fraction, and organic pollutants removal is studied. In addition, the systematic interaction between ultrasound and ozone on the decolorization process is reviewed through comparative experiments of O3, US and US/O3. A sulfuric acid product that meets the requirements for first-class products in national standards, with an extent of decolorization of 74.07%, transparency of 70 mm, and a mass fraction of 98.04%, is obtained under the optimized conditions. Under the same conditions, it has been established that the treatment time can be saved by 25% using the US/O3 process compared to using O3. Further, the production of oxidative free radicals (•OH) in a concentrated sulfuric acid system is enhanced using the US/O3 process compared with O3. In addition, the degree of effectiveness of different oxidizing components on the decolorization process is revealed by adding different free radical shielding agents when the US/O3 process is used. |
