Determination of the semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in the wastewater
For SVOCs, 500 mL of wastewater was extracted with dichloromethane (Fu et al. 2016) and
analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (7890/5975c, Agilent, CA, USA) equipped
with a HP-5MS UI capillary column (60 m × 0.25 mm i.d. × 0.25 μm film thickness, Agilent, CA,
USA) (further details in the Supplementary Materials). The peaks at different retention times
represent different types of SVOCs, and these were preliminarily identified with reference to the
National Institute of Standards and Technology 05 mass spectral library database. Results are shown
in Table S1.

Adsorption and effect of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on the volcanic rock grains
Organic matter exhibited weak adsorption on volcanic rock grains. Before the experiments were
performed, all reactors were injected with wastewater without ozonation to allow the filters to reach
DOM adsorption saturation, when the DOM fractions in the effluent did not change compared to the
influent. Therefore, it is believed that the volcanic rock grains are inert and only affect the retention
volume of the column.

Pre-optimization study on reaction time and ozone dose in single ozone system
In this section, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) changes of wastewater within 80 min were
studied under 10 mg L-1 of ozone (Wu et al., 2015). The optimal reaction time is 15 min for raw
water treated by single ozone system, when the effluent COD was around 73 mg L -1 and the removal
efficiency was about 12% (Fig. S1(a)). At this optimal reaction time of 15 min, when the ozone
dosage reached 20 mg L-1, the COD was stabilized at 72.0 mg L-1 and the removal efficiency was
about 12.5% (Fig. S1(b)). Thus, the optimal ozone reaction time of the secondary wastewater treated
in the single ozone system is 15 min, and the optimal ozone dose is 20 mg L-1.
With different ozone reaction time and ozone dose, COD of wastewater decreased from 82.2 to
72.0 mg L-1 at most. The single ozone system cannot ensure that the secondary petrochemical
wastewater reach the standard (GB 31571-2015), in which the COD should be below 60 mg L-1. This
indicates that only 14.8% of the organic compounds can be directly oxidized by ozone molecules,
and it is difficult to further degrade organic matter by increasing the reaction time and ozone dose.

Pre-optimization study on reaction time and molar ratio of ozone/H2O2 (n(H2O2)/n(O3)) in
ozone/H2O2 system
Glaze and Kang (1988) found that better molar ratio of ozone/H2O2 (n(H2O2)/n(O3)) generally is
0.5–1.4. With the ozone dose was 20 mg L-1 and n(H2O2)/n(O3) was 1.0, the optimal reaction time
could be selected at 5 min (Fig. S2(a)), when the COD decreased and stabilized at 78.0 mg L-1 and
the removal efficiency reached 5.8%. Therefore, the optimal n(H2O2)/n(O3) of the secondary
wastewater treated in the ozone/H2O2 system is 1.0 (Fig. S2(b)).
At different ozone reaction time and n(H2O2)/n(O3), COD of wastewater decreased from 82.2 to
78.0 mg L-1 at most, indicating that only 5% of organic matter can be mineralized in the ozone/H2O2
system. It is difficult to remove more organic matter by increasing reaction time, ozone and H2O2
input. The ozone/H2O2 system cannot ensure that the secondary petrochemical wastewater reach the
standard (GB 31571-2015).

Pre-optimization study on reaction time and ozone dose in ozone/catalyst system
At 60 min in the ozone/catalyst system, COD rapidly decreased from 82.2 mg L-1 and then
stabilized about 63.3 mg L-1, with a removal efficiency of 23.5% (Fig. S3(a)). At the reaction time of
60 min and the ozone dose of 45 mg L-1, the average COD decreased rapidly to 47.8 mg L-1 with a
removal efficiency of 42.3% (Fig. S3(b)). Thus, in the ozone/catalyst system, at the reaction time of
60 min and the ozone dose of 35–45 mg L-1, the average COD reached 47.8 mg L-1, below the
corresponding limited value (60 mg L-1) in the standard (GB 31571-2015).
The ozone/catalyst system showed a clear effective treatment effect on the dissolved organic
matters (DOM) in the refractory wastewater.

Detailed fractionation procedures for the DOM
The detailed fractionation procedures for the DOM in the wastewater are illustrated in Fig. S4.
(1) Hydrophilic substances (HiS): 150 mL of 0.45 m-filtered water (raw or ozonated) was
firstly pumped through a glass column filled with the XAD-8 resin. The sample effluent from XAD-
8 resin was HiS.
(2) Hydrophobic base (HoB): The first absorbed HoB was then eluted from XAD-8 by a
sequential flow of 0.1 mol L-1 HCl.
(3) Hydrophilic neutral (HiN): HiS was firstly acidified to pH 2 with 6 mol L-1 HCl and then
was cycled over three connected DAX-8, MSC-H and AG-MP-1 resin. The effluent from the
connected three columns was HiN.
(4) Hydrophobic acid (HoA): HoA was eluted from XAD-8 with 0.1 mol L-1 NaOH in a forward
direction.
(5) Hydrophobic neutral (HoN): After HoA was desorbed, the XAD-8 resin was air-dried for
about 12 h and was soxhlet-extracted with methanol to obtain HoN. The excess methanol was
removed by vacuum-rotary evaporation at 40 °C.
(6) Hydrophilic base (HiB) and hydrophilic acid (HiA): HiB and HiA were desorbed by gravity
flow from Dowex Marathon MSC and AG-MP-1with 0.1 mol L-1 NaOH, respectively.

Analysis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) of the raw water and effluent of the
single ozone, ozone/H2O2, and ozone/catalyst systems)
The DOM powder and the fractions obtained through freeze-drying were analyzed by Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) (Spectrum 100; PerkinElmer, USA) to determine their
structural characteristics. KBr was mixed with DOM powder at a ratio of 300:1, which was scanned
to obtain the FTIR spectra.
The FTIR spectra of the DOM fractions in the raw water and ozonation wastewater are shown
in Fig. S7. The interpretations of the absorption bands are shown in Table S6, as described in the
literature.

The FTIR adsorption spectrum of the HoA fraction indicated the existence of fulvic acid-like
substances, consisted with EEM results (i.e., a high concentration of fulvic acid-like substances in
HoA). The spectral transmittance of the ozonation effluent decreased at 3474 and 1700 cm-1 for the
effluents from single ozone and ozone/H2O2 system (Fig. S6(a)). The content of carboxylic acids
increased in the single ozone and ozone/H2O2 system, showing that ozone could degrade aromatic

compounds into ketones and anomeric carbon organics, which might produce carboxyl compounds
[6]. In addition, the spectral transmittance at 3474 and 1700 cm-1 increased markedly of the HoA
sample in Fig. S7(a), indicating that carboxylic acids in the HoA fraction could be removed by the
ozone/catalyst system.

ozone/catalyst systems: (a) HoA, (b) HoB, (c) HoN, (d) HiA, (e) HiB, and (f) HiN.
At 1500–400 cm-1, the absorption spectrum of the HiA fraction was similar with that of the HoA
fraction. For instance, substances with an absorption peak at 642 cm-1 (e.g., aromatic compounds)
were clearly removed by the ozone/catalyst system. Meanwhile, spectral transmittance of HiN did
not changed markedly in the effluent from the single ozone system, showing that HiN compounds

were not as reactive with ozone as compounds in the other fractions. The spectral transmittance at
453 and 580 cm-1 decreased during ozone/H2O2 treatment, showing that amines and amides might
have increased in the HiN fraction. The spectral transmittance of 1000–400 cm-1 decreased after the
treatment by ozone/catalyst system, showing that aliphatic compounds were effectively removed.
Finally, the results also suggested that the ozone/catalyst had a clear advantage in the removal of
aliphatic compounds (C–C, 700–600 cm-1).

Contact angle of the filter media
The contact angle is conventionally measured through a liquid, where a liquid–vapor interface
meets a solid surface. Contact angles are extremely sensitive to contamination. If the liquid
molecules are strongly attracted to the solid molecules, then the liquid drop will completely spread
out on the solid surface, corresponding to a small contact angle (Bruus, 2008; Dana and Saguy,
2006). If the contact angle of water is larger than 90°, it is a hydrophobic surface, where smaller
contact angles represent more hydrophobic surfaces. Meanwhile, contact angles less than 90°
represent hydrophilic surfaces, and larger contact angles are indicative of more hydrophobic surfaces
(Zhang et al., 2007). The contact angles between the different fractions and the catalyst were much
smaller than those with the volcanic rocks (Fig. S10). This showed that the fractions were easily
spread out over the catalyst, which would enhance the interactions between the organics and ozone
adsorbed onto the filter media. Therefore, the contaminants in the wastewater could be adsorbed onto
the catalyst and react with the ozone on the catalyst surface. On the catalyst, HoA, HoB, HiB, and
HiN showed the contact angles with the catalyst, indicative of high reaction activity with ozone.
