Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water treatment, specifically relating to a method for removing chloramphenicol from water using phosphorylated micronized iron. Background Technology
[0002] Chloramphenicol (CAP) is a synthetic chloronitro aromatic antibiotic widely used in aquaculture due to its low cost. However, CAP is not completely metabolized in organisms and may be excreted into the environment in feces and enter the human body through the food chain, posing a threat to human health. Therefore, effective water treatment methods are urgently needed to control it.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for removing CAP from water bodies include adsorption, advanced oxidation, and biological methods. Adsorption methods are characterized by their simplicity, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness. Activated carbon is the most commonly used adsorbent, but it suffers from high cost and regeneration difficulties. Advanced oxidation technologies, including photocatalytic oxidation and ozone oxidation, are highly efficient at degrading CAP, but they are highly pH-dependent and may produce more toxic byproducts. Biological degradation technologies have low operating costs and simple processes, but their application is limited by the large land area required, long treatment time, and the high mortality rate of microorganisms. Therefore, there is still a need to explore a green and simple method for the efficient degradation of chloramphenicol.
[0004] Zero-valent iron (ZVI) has been widely used in water treatment due to its excellent reducing ability. However, ZVI also has some limitations; its surface is easily passivated, resulting in low electron utilization of pollutants. To optimize ZVI performance, various ZVI modification techniques have been proposed. The main modification techniques include doping ZVI with noble metals or other elements, surface modification with surfactants or polymers, embedding ZVI into carriers, and stabilizing ZVI on porous materials. Currently, ball milling technology is gaining increasing attention in the ZVI field, especially in surface activation and modification. Mechanical ball milling can not only reduce the particle size of ZVI but also remove the oxide layer from its surface, thereby enhancing its surface activity. In methods using mechanical ball milling to modify ZVI, researchers often add additives to ball mill with ZVI to regulate the functional group structure of the ZVI surface, thereby enhancing the adsorption / coordination, redox, flocculation / precipitation of pollutants on the ZVI surface and improving the efficiency of ZVI in removing pollutants. Representative additives include sulfides and oxalic acid. Currently, phosphate-modified zero-valent iron (ZVFe) is a novel modification method. The modified material has a smaller particle size, better dispersibility, and more thorough contact with contaminants in solution. Furthermore, its larger specific surface area allows for greater contact with contaminants and the removal of more active sites. In addition, the tight bond between phosphate and ZVFe may have a synergistic effect on the removal of target contaminants, suggesting that phosphorylated ZVFe may be more effective than unmodified ZVFe in removing contaminants. However, there are currently no reports in the field of applying phosphorylated ZVFe to the removal of CAP (capillary phosphate). Summary of the Invention

It can be seen that compared to P-ZVI... bm Compared to other systems, S-ZVI showed poorer removal efficiency for CAP. After 20 minutes of reaction, P-ZVI... bm CAP was essentially completely degraded, while S-ZVI with S / Fe ratios of 1:10 and 1:20 showed removal rates of only 45.9% and 70.6% for CAP, respectively. After 60 minutes of reaction, the removal rates of S-ZVI with S / Fe ratios of 1:10 and 1:20 were still only 83.3% and 95.6% for CAP, respectively.
