Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a persulfate activator and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Antibiotics are widely used as therapeutic agents for infectious diseases of humans and livestock, as well as growth promoters in the livestock and aquaculture industries. A large amount of antibiotics used by humans and livestock are not completely metabolized and enter the sewage system through urine and feces. Most of the antibiotic parent compounds or their metabolites are difficult to degrade. After passing through the conventional water treatment process and entering the aquatic environment, various antibiotic residues can still be detected in the wastewater. For example, the highly persistent high-priority drug sulfamethoxazole may threaten non-target organisms, contaminate food, and induce the generation and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes. Tetracycline is also widely used in the medical, livestock, and aquaculture fields, and traditional wastewater treatment processes cannot effectively degrade tetracycline. In recent years, advanced oxidation technologies based on persulfate have received much attention due to their higher redox potential and longer lifespan. To more efficiently remove antibiotics in polluted water bodies, there is an urgent need for some economically feasible and effective persulfate activators to improve the treatment of wastewater by persulfate oxidation.

[0060] Experimental Example 1: Determination of the removal rate of tetracycline in wastewater. The content of tetracycline in the initial wastewater and the degraded wastewater in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 1 was determined by spectrophotometry. The removal rate = (tetracycline concentration in the initial wastewater - tetracycline concentration in the degraded wastewater) / tetracycline concentration in the initial wastewater × 100%.
[0061] The determination results of the removal rate of tetracycline in wastewater are as Figure 1 shown. Comparing Example 1 with Example 2 indicates that an increase in the amount of the nanomaterial activator used within a certain range can enhance the activation of persulfate, accelerate the decomposition of persulfate to generate more free radicals, thereby increasing the removal rate of tetracycline in wastewater; comparing Example 1 with Example 3 indicates that a decrease in the amount of the nanomaterial activator used within a certain range will reduce the activation of persulfate, and thus reduce the removal rate of tetracycline in wastewater; comparing Example 1 with Example 4 indicates that on the basis of using the nanomaterial activator, using choline gluconate can further enhance the activation of persulfate and increase the removal rate of tetracycline in wastewater; comparing Example 4 with Example 5 indicates that an increase in the amount of choline gluconate used within a certain range can enhance the activation of persulfate and increase the removal rate of tetracycline in wastewater; comparing Example 4 with Example 6 indicates that a decrease in the amount of choline gluconate used within a certain range will reduce the activation of persulfate, and thus reduce the removal rate of tetracycline in wastewater; comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1 indicates that choline gluconate needs to be used in combination with the nanomaterial activator, and too low an amount of the nanomaterial activator will reduce the removal rate of tetracycline in wastewater.
[0062] Experimental Example 2: Determination of the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in wastewater. The content of sulfamethoxazole in the initial wastewater and the degraded wastewater in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 1 was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The removal rate = (concentration of sulfamethoxazole in the initial wastewater - concentration of sulfamethoxazole in the degraded wastewater) / concentration of sulfamethoxazole in the initial wastewater × 100%.
[0063] The determination results of the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in wastewater are as Figure 2 shown. Comparing Example 1 with Example 2 indicates that an increase in the dosage of the nanomaterial activator within a certain range can enhance the activation of persulfate and improve the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in wastewater. Comparing Example 1 with Example 3 shows that a decrease in the dosage of the nanomaterial activator within a certain range will reduce the activation of persulfate, thereby reducing the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in wastewater. Comparing Example 1 with Example 4 shows that on the basis of using the nanomaterial activator, the use of choline gluconate can further enhance the activation of persulfate and improve the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in wastewater. Comparing Example 4 with Example 5 shows that an increase in the dosage of choline gluconate within a certain range can enhance the activation of persulfate and improve the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in wastewater. Comparing Example 4 with Example 6 shows that a decrease in the dosage of choline gluconate within a certain range will reduce the activation of persulfate, thereby reducing the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in wastewater. Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1 shows that choline gluconate needs to be used together with the nanomaterial activator, and too low a dosage of the nanomaterial activator will reduce the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in wastewater.
