摘　　要：The kinetics of thedegradation of trace nitrobenzene （NB） by a granular activated carbon （GAC） enhanced microwave （MW）/hydrogen peroxide （H202 ） systemwas studied. Effects of pH, NB initial concentration and tert-butyl alcohol on the removal efficiencywere examined. Itwas found that the reaction rate fitswell to first-order reaction kinetics in the MW/GAC/H202 process. Moreover, GAC greatly enhanced thedegradation rate of NB inwater. Under a given condition （MW power300 W, H202dosage 10 mg/L, pH 6.85 and temperature （60 ± 5）°C）, thedegradation rate of NBwas 0.05214 min 1when4 g/L GACwas added. In general, alkaline pHwas better for NBdegradation; however, the optimum pHwas 8.0 in the tested pH value range of4.0-12.0. At H202dosage of 10 mg/L and GACdosage of4 g/L, the removal of NBwasdecreasedwith increasing initial concentrations of NB, indicating that a low initial concentrationwas beneficial for thedegradation of NB. These results indicated that the MW/GAC/H202 processwas effective for trace NBdegradation inwater. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis indicated that a hydroxyl radical addition reaction anddehydrogenation reaction enhanced NBdegradation.The kinetics of thedegradation of trace nitrobenzene （NB） by a granular activated carbon （GAC） enhanced microwave （MW）/hydrogen peroxide （H202 ） systemwas studied.
