Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically relating to a precise quantitative method for quenching agents in advanced oxidation treatment of wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] Advanced oxidation processes (AEs) are an important water treatment technology. During treatment, they generate highly oxidizing free radicals that can chemically react with recalcitrant organic pollutants, degrading them into smaller molecules or short-chain organic compounds, thus improving biodegradability. The reactions are rapid, and the treatment effects are excellent. Currently, AEs typically require the addition of quenchers to stop the free radicals from degrading the pollutants, allowing for the acquisition of degradation data at a specific point in time. Alternatively, quenchers are added near the end of the treatment process to terminate the reaction. Commonly used organic quenchers include methanol, ethanol, tert-butanol, and ascorbic acid, while inorganic quenchers mainly include sodium sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and sodium nitrite.

[0003] Currently, in practice, excessive quenchers are often added to ensure the quenching reaction is achieved, with a common addition ratio of 1:1 or even higher than the reaction liquid volume. This not only wastes quenchers but also affects the accurate determination of subsequent pollutant concentrations. For example, when testing certain pollutants in water using gas chromatography, organic solvents are required for extraction. If the pollutant to be tested is dissolved in ethanol, and ethanol is used as the quencher, the extraction rate will be affected, resulting in a lower measured concentration of the pollutant. Similarly, when testing certain pollutants using spectrophotometry, adding excessive quenchers can hinder the colorimetric reaction, or the quencher itself may have strong absorbance at the test wavelength, leading to either an overestimation or underestimation of the measured value. Therefore, determining the accurate dosage of quenchers at the end of advanced oxidation treatment is crucial for avoiding quencher waste and accurately detecting pollutant degradation rates. Summary of the Invention
