TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of environmental engineering, and particularly relates to a method for removing acetaminophen by using molybdenum powder reinforced trivalent iron / tripolyphosphate activated molecular oxygen. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, drug abuse exists in China, and with drugs being continuously discharged into the environment, the ecological environment and human body will be harmed to a certain extent. How to effectively treat the drugs discharged into the environment has become a research hotspot. The conventional treatment process is difficult to completely degrade the drugs, and the mineralization degree is low. The advanced oxidation method has the advantage of high mineralization degree, and is therefore widely applied to remove drugs.
[0003] Molecular oxygen as a green and environmentally friendly oxidant has attracted widespread attention. The active substances formed by the activation of molecular oxygen can oxidize and degrade pollutants. Metal-activated molecular oxygen advanced oxidation technology has been studied by many scholars. Ferrous iron is an ideal metal for activating molecular oxygen. However, the activation efficiency of ferrous iron for molecular oxygen is low, and the yield of active substances is low. The addition of a complex can enhance the activation of molecular oxygen by ferrous iron, and generate more active substances. Common ligands include oxalate, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), EDTA, vitamins, tripolyphosphate, etc. Too much organic ligand will consume hydroxyl radicals, which is not conducive to the degradation of pollutants. Organic ligands have certain limitations in enhancing the activation of molecular oxygen by ferrous iron. Among them, tripolyphosphate is an inorganic ligand, which has obvious advantages compared with organic ligands. Tripolyphosphate can enhance the activation of molecular oxygen by ferrous iron to produce active substances to degrade pollutants. However, ferrous iron is not suitable for treating pollutants in a medium alkaline environment, so the combination of trivalent iron, molybdenum powder and tripolyphosphate can achieve the removal of pollutants in a medium alkaline environment. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of conventional advanced oxidation technology, such as the need for external oxidation agent, the easy generation of secondary pollution, and the poor reactivity in a medium alkaline environment, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for removing acetaminophen by using molybdenum powder reinforced trivalent iron / tripolyphosphate activated molecular oxygen.
[0005] The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following scheme: a method for removing acetaminophen by using molybdenum powder reinforced trivalent iron / tripolyphosphate activated molecular oxygen. First, a tripolyphosphate mother liquor is prepared, then raw water containing pollutants is prepared, a certain amount of tripolyphosphate is added to the raw water, and the pH of the raw water is adjusted. Then, molybdenum powder is weighed. A certain amount of Fe 3+ The mother liquor and molybdenum powder are added to the raw water containing pollutants, and a magnetic stirrer is started to remove the pollutants.
[0006] A method for removing acetaminophen by using molybdenum powder to strengthen trivalent iron / tripolyphosphate activated molecular oxygen, which is to reduce trivalent iron to divalent iron by molybdenum powder, and to activate molecular oxygen to remove acetaminophen by divalent iron and tripolyphosphate, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Preparation of tripolyphosphate mother liquor with a concentration of 100 mmol / L;
[0008] Preparation of Fe 3+ Mother liquor with a concentration of 100 mmol / L;
[0009] Preparation of raw water containing pollutants;
[0010] Add tripolyphosphate mother liquor to raw water to make the final concentration of tripolyphosphate 0.1-0.6 mmol / L, adjust the pH value of raw water to 3-9; then weigh molybdenum powder, and the concentration of molybdenum powder is 0.1-0.4 g / L; add Fe 3+ Mother liquor with a concentration of 100 mmol / L and molybdenum powder to raw water containing pollutants, so that the molar ratio of Fe 3+ To tripolyphosphate is 2:1 to 1:3; magnetic stirring, and removal of pollutants.
[0011] According to the above scheme, the concentration of the tripolyphosphate mother liquor is 100 mmol / L, and the final concentration of the added tripolyphosphate is 0.1-0.6 mmol / L.
[0012] According to the above scheme, the molybdenum powder is commercial molybdenum powder, and the concentration of the added molybdenum powder is 0.1-0.4 g / L.
[0013] According to the above scheme, the concentration of the Fe 3+ Mother liquor is 100 mmol / L, prepared by using FeCl3, and the final concentration of the added Fe 3+ Is 0.1-0.2 mmol / L.
[0014] According to the above scheme, the pollutants in the raw water are acetaminophen, and the concentration is 1-50 µM.
[0015] According to the above scheme, the pH value of the raw water is adjusted to 3-9.
[0016] According to the above scheme, the stirring speed of the stirrer is 100-400 r / min.
[0017] According to the above scheme, the stirring reaction time is 10-60 min.
[0018] The technical principle of the present application is:
[0019] The tripolyphosphate can form Fe(III)-tripolyphosphate complex with trivalent iron, which can prevent the precipitation of trivalent iron in the reaction solution.
[0020] The addition of molybdenum powder accelerates the cycling of ferric and ferrous iron, forming a Fe(II)-tripolyphosphate complex. This Fe(II)-tripolyphosphate complex activates molecular oxygen, generating more H₂O₂ and ∙OH, which rapidly degrades acetaminophen.
[0021] This invention accelerates the cycling of ferric and ferrous iron (Fe2+) by adding molybdenum powder, promoting the activation of molecular oxygen by ferrous iron and tripolyphosphate (TP), and generating more active substances H2O2 and ∙OH. This invention solves the problems of low activation efficiency and poor removal effect of ferrous iron for molecular oxygen, achieving rapid removal of acetaminophen, and can be applied in moderately alkaline water treatment environments. The addition of molybdenum powder significantly enhances the activation of molecular oxygen by ferric iron / TP, greatly improving the removal rate compared to the absence of molybdenum powder and increasing the treatment efficiency of pollutants. Furthermore, the presence of TP prevents precipitation of ferric and ferrous iron and also strengthens the activation of molecular oxygen. Under moderately alkaline conditions, this system exhibits strong removal capacity for acetaminophen. The morphology of molybdenum powder before and after the reaction and cycling experiments show that molybdenum powder has strong stability in the ferric iron / TP system and can be reused.
[0022] The advantages of this invention are:
[0023] (1) This invention uses molybdenum powder to enhance the activation of molecular oxygen by ferric iron / tripolyphosphate to remove acetaminophen. The addition of ferric iron and molybdenum powder enables the ferrous iron / tripolyphosphate in the reaction system to react with molecular oxygen, producing more active substances, thus solving the problem of low activation efficiency of ferrous iron for molecular oxygen and poor treatment effect. (2) This invention is the first to propose the use of inorganic co-catalyst molybdenum powder to enhance the activation of molecular oxygen by ferric iron / tripolyphosphate to remove acetaminophen.
[0024] (3) The present invention uses inorganic complexing agents, which will not consume the free radicals of the reaction system and have more advantages than organic complexes.
[0025] (4) This invention is applicable to the treatment of acetaminophen in a moderately alkaline environment. Attached Figure Description
