AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient for the efficient removal of hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP) from industrial wastewater. HEDP is chemically stable, and traditional activation methods are energy-intensive or may cause secondary pollution from metal ions. Bromine ion-activated PMS is not ideal for the degradation of HEDP.
A synergistic oxidation system was constructed using sodium bicarbonate and bromide to provide bromide and bicarbonate ions, along with potassium persulfate, to degrade HEDP under mild conditions. Seawater was used to replace part of the activator, and the reaction was carried out in a continuous flow reactor.
It achieves efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly HEDP degradation, with harmless byproducts, simple reaction conditions, and easy promotion and application. Furthermore, it can recover phosphorus resources by adjusting the generated struvite.
