Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to a high-temperature Fenton-like oxidation method for industrial wastewater treatment. Background Art

[0002] Wastewater discharged during industrial production, especially wastewater containing organic pollutants, such as wastewater from the chemical, pharmaceutical, printing and dyeing industries, is characterized by high concentration and difficulty in degradation. Traditional physical, chemical and biological methods are often difficult to effectively treat such wastewater.

[0003] As an advanced oxidation technology, Fenton oxidation has shown good results in treating difficult-to-degrade organic pollutants. Its principle is to use hydrogen peroxide to produce highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (·OH) under the action of divalent iron to degrade organic pollutants in wastewater, but its application still faces the following problems:

[0004] 1. The stability of iron ions: Iron ions are prone to precipitation, especially when there are high concentrations of phosphates, carbonates, etc. in wastewater, which can easily form insoluble iron compounds and reduce the reaction rate;

[0005] 2. High pH value requirements: usually need to operate under acidic conditions of pH 2-4;

[0006] 3. Catalyst consumption: The iron-based catalyst used in the Fenton reaction will produce secondary pollutants such as iron hydroxide, causing secondary pollution and increasing treatment costs.

[0007] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a high-temperature Fenton-like oxidation method and achieve efficient recycling of the catalyst. Summary of the invention

[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a high-temperature Fenton-like oxidation method for industrial wastewater treatment to solve the following technical problems:

[0009] How to improve reaction efficiency and achieve efficient catalyst recycling in high-temperature Fenton-like oxidation methods.

[0010] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0011] The present invention discloses a high-temperature Fenton-like oxidation method for industrial wastewater treatment, comprising the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: pre-treat industrial wastewater to remove solid particles and suspended matter;

[0013] Step 2: Heat the pretreated industrial wastewater to 60-90° C., then add copper sulfate and hydrogen peroxide solution successively, adjust the pH to 3-7, preferably 4-6, and stir the reaction for 1-4 hours, preferably 1.5-2.5 hours.

[0014] As a transition metal, copper has excellent catalytic properties. Copper sulfate (CuSO4) can replace traditional iron catalysts in the Fenton reaction to generate active species, thereby improving oxidation efficiency. In addition, copper sulfate has the potential advantage of self-recycling copper ions in some copper-containing wastewater. By using copper sulfate as a catalyst with excellent performance under high temperature conditions, the oxidation efficiency can be improved, the scope of application can be expanded, and secondary pollution can be reduced, which is conducive to the efficient treatment of high-concentration, difficult-to-degrade industrial wastewater, and the utilization of wastewater resources and environmental protection treatment effects can be improved.

[0015] At the same time, the reaction is carried out at a high temperature of 30-90°C, which significantly accelerates the reaction rate. 2+ ) has good catalytic activity under high temperature conditions and can work synergistically with H2O2, so that the oxidant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generates a large number of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in a short time. These free radicals have extremely strong oxidizing ability and can quickly attack organic pollutants in wastewater, break the molecular structure, and convert them into harmless small molecules, such as carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H2O).

[0016] Step 3: After the reaction is completed, the pH is adjusted to 9-11, preferably 9.5-10.5, by sodium hydroxide to generate precipitation in the reaction solution, the reaction solution is filtered to collect copper mud, sulfuric acid solution is added to the copper mud and mixed evenly, and then the filtrate is filtered to obtain a recovered copper sulfate solution; at the same time, the waste water after the reaction solution is filtered to remove the copper mud is neutralized, settled and re-filtered, and its chemical oxygen demand (COD) is detected to ensure that it meets the emission standards before discharge or secondary treatment.

[0017] Furthermore, in step one, the method for pre-treating industrial wastewater is filtration or sedimentation.

[0018] Furthermore, in step 2, the temperature of the industrial wastewater is adjusted by a heat-collecting constant-temperature magnetic agitator.

[0019] Furthermore, in step 2, the ratio of the amount of copper sulfate added to the volume of industrial wastewater is (2-4) g:1L.

[0020] Furthermore, in step 2, the ratio of the mass of hydrogen peroxide in the hydrogen peroxide solution to the pre-removal mass of COD in the industrial wastewater is (1-3):1, preferably (1.5-2.5):1.

[0021] Furthermore, the mass fraction of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 30%.

[0022] Furthermore, in step 2, when adding copper sulfate and hydrogen peroxide solution, keep stirring while slowly adding them dropwise. This is because most of the COD in industrial wastewater is too high, resulting in excessive dosage of hydrogen peroxide and violent reaction. Therefore, slowly adding them to the reaction system in a dropwise manner helps to avoid ineffective decomposition of hydrogen peroxide caused by local excessive dosage, thereby improving its utilization rate.

[0023] Furthermore, in step 2, the pH is adjusted by a pH adjuster, and the pH adjuster includes an acid and / or a base.

[0024] Furthermore, the acid in the pH adjuster includes sulfuric acid, and the alkali includes sodium hydroxide.

[0025] Furthermore, in step three, the ratio of the mass of sulfuric acid in the sulfuric acid solution to the mass of copper mud is 2:1.

[0026] Furthermore, the mass fraction of the sulfuric acid solution is 50%.

[0027] Furthermore, the recovered copper sulfate solution is reused in the high-temperature Fenton-like oxidation method for industrial wastewater treatment.

[0028] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0029] (1) In the high-temperature Fenton-like oxidation method for industrial wastewater treatment of the present invention, copper sulfide is used as a catalyst to carry out a Fenton-like oxidation reaction at high temperature. High temperature can significantly accelerate the reaction rate, so that copper ions have good catalytic activity under high temperature conditions and can synergize with H2O2, so that H2O2 generates a large number of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in a relatively short period of time. These free radicals have extremely strong oxidizing ability and can quickly attack organic pollutants in wastewater, break the molecular structure, and convert them into harmless small molecules, such as carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H2O), thereby improving the treatment effect of industrial wastewater.

[0030] (2) In the high-temperature Fenton-like oxidation method for industrial wastewater treatment of the present invention, copper sulfate can replace the traditional iron catalyst in the Fenton reaction to generate active species, thereby improving the oxidation efficiency; in addition, copper sulfate has the potential advantage of self-recycling of copper ions in some copper-containing wastewater; by utilizing the excellent performance of copper sulfate as a catalyst under high temperature conditions, the oxidation efficiency is improved, the scope of application is expanded, and secondary pollution is reduced, which is conducive to achieving efficient treatment of high-concentration, difficult-to-degrade industrial wastewater, improving wastewater resource utilization and environmental protection treatment effects; applied to Fenton-like oxidation processes, it can promote the oxidation rate of hydrogen peroxide and improve the Fenton oxidation effect.

[0031] (3) In the high-temperature Fenton oxidation method for industrial wastewater treatment of the present invention, copper sulfate can be recovered after the catalytic reaction, and the recovery method is very simple and has high recovery efficiency. The recovered copper sulfate solution can be reused in the high-temperature Fenton oxidation method to treat industrial wastewater, thereby saving catalyst costs and reducing the pollution of the catalyst to the environment.
