ABSTRACT
The composition of cutting fluid wastewater is complex, containing oil and various additives.
Due to different production processes, various metal particles will be mixed, which has caused great
difficulties in wastewater treatment. In this study, electro-flocculation-multiphase Fenton/ultrasound
system was used to treat cutting fluid organic wastewater. Firstly, the demulsification pretreatment was
carried out by electroflocculation method, which achieved 97.4% CODcr removal efficiency. Afterwards,
a multiphase Fenton/ultrasonic system was used for advanced treatment. By comparing the SEM
results, BET results, XRD results and CODcr removal efficiency of the catalysts prepared by different
supports and methods, CuO/CeO2 catalyst prepared by the deposition precipitation method was used in
this experiment. The dissolution rate of copper in the catalyst CuO/CeO2 was only 1.29% after 4 hours
of reaction. After 5 times of recovery, the recovery rate of the catalyst was still 95%, and the removal
efficiency of CODcr was 29.8%. It proved that the catalyst CuO/CeO2 had good stability. Compared
with a separate multiphase Fenton or ultrasound system, the multiphase Fenton/ultrasonic system had
a better processing effect. Under the conditions of an ultrasonic frequency of 800 KHz, a reaction time
of 180 min, a catalyst dosage of 1.6 g/L, a hydrogen peroxide dosage of 0.5 mol/L, and an initial pH
of 8, the multiphase Fenton/ultrasonic system could achieve 65% CODcr removal efficiency. This study
found that electro-flocculation-multiphase Fenton/ultrasonic system could finally achieve 99.09% CODcr
removal efficiency.
