Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular relates to a multifunctional Fenton-like catalyst immobilized with a heavy metal scavenger, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With rapid population and economic growth, global water, air, and soil pollution are becoming increasingly severe, and environmental problems are becoming more acute than ever. In particular, the rapid development of modern industry has led to a dramatic increase in the quantity, variety, and toxicity of organic pollutants discharged into water bodies, causing serious environmental pollution. Traditional biological treatment technologies are far from sufficient to meet the required effluent quality for the high concentrations and toxicity of recalcitrant organic pollutants in water. Therefore, it is urgent to treat recalcitrant organic pollutants in water, render them harmless, and recycle them as resources to alleviate water shortages. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have become a research hotspot in the water treatment field due to their rapid oxidation rates, wide applicability, and high mineralization rates.

[0003] Advanced oxidation technology primarily utilizes the highly oxidative hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generated within the system to selectively remove and degrade refractory organic pollutants that are inaccessible to conventional methods. It has been widely used in the treatment of wastewaters containing phenols, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and landfill leachate. Compared to other advanced oxidation technologies, the Fenton system has a longer research history and accumulated experience. Its advantages include non-toxic reagents, simple operation, and relatively low investment. It is an important and promising advanced oxidation technology for wastewater treatment and has been widely used to treat toxic and hazardous wastewaters. While possessing these advantages, the traditional Fenton process also has limiting drawbacks such as high reagent usage, low H2O2 utilization, a specific low pH range (pH ≈ 3) required for the reaction, and the generation of large amounts of iron sludge.

[0004] Fenton-like system by immobilizing Fe 2+ The development of Fenton-like catalysts with high catalytic activity, a wide pH range, and the ability to recycle the catalysts is crucial for achieving a homogeneous Fenton-like system. The development of Fenton-like catalysts with high catalytic activity, a wide pH range, and the ability to be recycled continuously and / or in situ is therefore of great significance.
