In this study, 30 different organic compounds were selected and their reaction rate constants(k) were determined for the Fenton oxidation process. Gaussian09 and Material Studio software sets were used to carry out calculations and obtain values of 10 different molecular descriptors for each studied compound. Ferric-oxyhydroxide coagulation experiments were conducted to determine the coagulation percentage. Based upon the adsorption capacity,all of the investigated organic compounds were divided into two groups(Group A and Group B). The percentage adsorption of organic compounds in Group A was less than 15%(wt./wt.)and that in the Group B was higher than 15%(wt./wt.). For Group A, removal of the compounds by oxidation was the dominant process while for Group B, removal by both oxidation and coagulation(as a synergistic process) took place. Results showed that the relationship between the rate constants(k values) and the molecular descriptors of Group A was more pronounced than for Group B compounds. For the oxidation-dominated process,EHOMOand Fukui indices(f(0)_x, f(-)_x, f(+)_x) were the most significant factors. The influence of bond order was more significant for the synergistic process of oxidation and coagulation than for the oxidation-dominated process. The influences of all other molecular descriptors on the synergistic process were weaker than on the oxidation-dominated process.展开更多
