Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of groundwater treatment technology, specifically relating to a tea polyphenol-complexed ferric iron-coated calcium peroxide (CaO2@TP-Fe). 3+ Application of slow-release nanomaterials in the remediation of chlorophenol pollutants in groundwater. Background Technology

[0002] The water pollution problem caused by chlorophenols (CPs) is becoming increasingly prominent, as they are frequently detected in groundwater, exacerbating groundwater pollution. In recent years, rapid industrial and agricultural development, along with unreasonable human exploitation, have led to a surge in chlorophenol contamination. Currently, groundwater remediation primarily employs in-situ remediation techniques, but these techniques suffer from numerous problems, such as backdiffusion, concentration tailing, contaminant rebound, and catalyst lifetime issues. To address these problems and further improve the effectiveness of chlorophenol remediation, controlled-release technology has attracted widespread attention in the field of groundwater in-situ remediation.

[0003] By utilizing slow-release materials to extend the lifespan of active components, rebound phenomena can be controlled, and in-situ remediation effects can be improved. The application of controlled-release materials allows for the slow and sustained release of reactive compounds, thereby achieving long-term control and remediation of pollution sources. Slow-release materials that release reactive substances gradually reduce the non-selective consumption of oxidants and allow for long-term dissolution. This enables the oxidant to maintain a certain concentration for a relatively long effective period, thus effectively oxidizing pollutants.

[0004] However, currently common sustained-release materials employ the basic traditional Fenton system, which requires the exogenous addition of Fe-based materials to achieve only the effect of slowly releasing H2O2. 3+ The low reduction rate leads to low utilization of H2O2, increased non-selective consumption of active substances produced by the reaction, and difficulty in recycling the iron sludge generated by the reaction, which causes certain harm to the environment. Summary of the Invention
