Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water treatment, specifically relating to a method for efficiently recovering persulfate from wastewater using resin. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, persulfate has been widely used in water treatment due to its ability to generate strong oxidizing reactive oxides such as sulfate radicals through activation, thus removing recalcitrant pollutants. Current research focuses primarily on the generation pathways and oxidation characteristics of free radicals during persulfate activation. However, the utilization rate of the sulfate oxidant itself during the persulfate oxidation reaction is low (20%-60%), resulting in a large amount of persulfate remaining in wastewater. In wastewater, persulfate can react with aquatic substrates to generate sulfate ions, which are then converted into H2S by microorganisms under anaerobic conditions, posing a potential threat to the aquatic ecosystem. Despite this, sufficient attention remains to the recovery and reuse of persulfate after the wastewater oxidation reaction.
[0003] Resins are a class of high-molecular polymer materials characterized by their porous structure, high mechanical strength, strong ion exchange capacity, and resistance to acids and alkalis. They are commonly used to immobilize nano-metal oxides (such as iron oxides, zirconium oxides, and lanthanum oxides) to prepare resin-based environmental purification materials. Numerous studies have shown that resins can recover heavy metal ions and inorganic phosphorus pollutants from wastewater through ion exchange. However, there are no reports on the use of resins to recover persulfate from wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A method for efficiently recovering persulfate from wastewater using resin includes the following steps:
[0006] S1. Add acidic or alkaline solutions to the wastewater containing persulfate to adjust the pH of the wastewater to 3-9;
[0007] S2. After pH adjustment, resin is added to the wastewater containing persulfate to adsorb the persulfate in the wastewater. The adsorption capacity of the resin for persulfate is 60-100 mg / g.
[0008] Preferably, the acidic solution is either a sulfuric acid solution or a hydrochloric acid solution; the alkaline solution is either a sodium hydroxide solution or a sodium carbonate solution.
[0009] Preferably, the persulfate is at least one of permonosulfate or perdisulfate.
[0010] Preferably, the resin is at least one of styrene-divinylbenzene resin with quaternary ammonium groups, styrene-divinylbenzene resin with tertiary amine groups, and methyl acrylate copolymer crosslinking polymer resin.
[0011] Preferably, the wastewater is at least one of surface water, domestic sewage, aquaculture wastewater, dyeing and printing wastewater, photovoltaic wastewater, and electroplating wastewater.
[0012] The above-described method for efficiently recovering persulfate from wastewater using resin is applied in the field of degrading organic pollutants.
[0013] Preferably, the organic pollutant is at least one of amino acids, dyes, phenols, and antibiotics.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0015] 1. This invention utilizes resin to adsorb the oxidant persulfate in wastewater. It has a wide pH range and is less affected by temperature and water matrix, making it suitable for recovering persulfate from various types of wastewater.
[0016] 2. This invention utilizes resin adsorption to recover persulfate, which can then be used as a solid oxidant. It can not only directly oxidize recalcitrant organic pollutants in water, but also be activated by transition metal ions to generate enhanced free radicals such as sulfate radicals, thereby achieving the removal of target pollutants.
