Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention pertains to water treatment, specifically to an ozone / superphosphate-based oxidation pretreatment method and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Odor-causing substances (such as geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol) in drinking water sources mainly originate from algal metabolites, humic matter decomposition, and industrial pollution. Conventional water treatment processes (such as coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration) are insufficient in removing these substances, posing a challenge to drinking water safety. In recent years, advanced oxidation technologies (AOPs) have attracted much attention due to their high efficiency, but existing technologies have the following shortcomings: 1. Ozone oxidation alone: It does not completely degrade large molecular odor-causing substances and requires high concentrations of ozone (>5.0 mg / L), resulting in high costs; 2. Ozone / catalyst systems: They require the addition of metal catalysts, which may introduce heavy metals or make catalyst recovery difficult; 3. Persulfate activation technology: It relies on ultraviolet light or transition metal activation, resulting in high energy consumption and easy sulfate pollution. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide an ozone / superphosphate-based oxidation pretreatment method for efficiently degrading odor substances; another purpose of this invention is to provide the application of this method in removing odor substances from drinking water sources.
[0004] Technical solution: The ozone / superphosphate-based oxidation pretreatment method of the present invention includes the following steps: simultaneously adding ozone and superphosphate to a drinking water source, wherein the ozone dosage is 2.0-5.0 mg / L and the superphosphate dosage is 5.0-10.0 mg / L; reacting for 5-10 minutes; and finally removing the reaction end product phosphate through coagulation and precipitation processes.
[0005] Ozone reacts with superphosphate in situ to generate phosphate radicals (·PO4). 2 -), working together with ozone to degrade odor substances; the final product of ozone is oxygen, and the final product of superphosphate is phosphate. During the coagulation stage, aluminum salt coagulant can form insoluble salts with phosphate, which are effectively removed by subsequent precipitation.
[0006] Preferably, the ratio of ozone to superphosphate is 1:1 to 1:3.
[0007] Preferably, the superphosphate is at least one of disodium hydrogen superphosphate (Na2HPO5) and sodium superphosphate (Na6P2O8).
[0008] Preferably, the pH value of the reaction system is 6.5 to 8.5.
[0009] Preferably, the drinking water source contains odor-causing substances.
[0010] Preferably, the odorant includes at least one of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol.
[0011] Preferably, ozone is added via a gas-liquid contact device; superphosphate is added continuously via a metering pump.
[0012] More preferably, the gas-liquid contact device includes an aeration titanium plate or a bubble diffuser.
[0013] The present invention relates to the application of the ozone / superphosphate-based oxidation pretreatment method in removing odor substances from drinking water sources.
[0014] Preferably, the drinking water source includes surface water, groundwater, reservoir water, and lake water.
[0015] Preferably, the initial concentration of odor substances in the drinking water source is ≤100 ng / L. After degradation using this technology, the concentration of odor substances is stable at <10 ng / L, and there is no significant impact on water quality parameters (TOC, color, pH).
[0016] Reaction principle: Ozone (O3) reacts with superphosphate in water:
[0017] O3+PO5 3- → - O3PO5 3- →·O3 - +·PO5 3-
[0018] ·PO5 2- +O3→·PO4 2- +2O2
[0019] 2O3+P2O8 4- →2·O3PO4 2- →·PO4 2- +3O2
[0020] The generated phosphate radicals (·PO4) 2 -) Degradation of odor substances through electron transfer or hydrogen extraction principles.
[0021] This invention proposes an ozone / superphosphate advanced oxidation system, which utilizes ozone to activate superphosphate to generate phosphate radicals (·PO4). 2 -), which works in conjunction with ozone under catalyst-free conditions to achieve efficient degradation of odor substances, and the final products are safe and controllable.
[0022] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:
[0023] 1. Highly efficient degradation: When the concentration of odor substances in the water source is ≤100ng / L, after ozone / superphosphate treatment, the odor substances can be stably lower than their odor threshold (<10ng / L).
[0024] 2. Environmentally friendly: The final product of ozone is oxygen, and the final product of superphosphate is phosphate. Both can form insoluble precipitates with aluminum salt coagulants, which can be effectively removed by subsequent precipitation processes without secondary pollution.
[0025] 3. Economic efficiency: Compared with ultraviolet-based advanced oxidation technologies, ozone / superphosphate technology significantly reduces energy input and can be applied under neutral conditions without the need for additional pH adjustment. This technology can be formed by simply adding superphosphate to the existing ozone pre-oxidation process in water plants without process modification, which greatly saves water plant investment costs.
[0026] 4. Universality: Applicable to different water sources (surface water, groundwater, reservoir water, lake water), and has a good removal effect on odor substances, especially one or two of 2-MIB and GSM. Attached Figure Description
