Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to an electrochemical method for synergistically and efficiently degrading pesticide gamma-HCH in water by using a modified lead dioxide-graphite felt electrode. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pesticides are important inputs in the process of agricultural production, aiming to improve the yield of agricultural products and ensure the quality of agricultural products. However, in the actual application process, the utilization rate of pesticides is very low, only about 0.1% of the pesticides can effectively act on the vegetation, and the remaining pesticides enter the atmospheric, water and soil environmental media. Studies have shown that in global groundwater, rivers and lakes and other freshwater ecosystems, the detection concentration of various pesticides and their transformation products frequently exceeds the acute toxicological threshold or chronic safety limit of aquatic organisms, indicating that pesticide pollution is a major stress source of global freshwater ecosystem crisis, which continuously threatens the integrity of the freshwater ecosystem, thereby causing negative effects on the ecosystem function. Among them, the organochlorine pesticide hexachlorocyclohexane (hexachlorocyclohexane, HCH) is typical. Hexachlorocyclohexane is one of the most commonly used pesticides for controlling agricultural pests in the mid-20th century. At the beginning, hexachlorocyclohexane was used in the form of industrial hexachlorocyclohexane (t-HCHs), and after the late 1970s, it was used in the form of lindane (Y-HCH). Due to its high biological accumulation and high toxicity, it has been banned from production, sale and use, but due to its environmental persistence, it can still be detected at present. Therefore, it is an urgent problem to find an effective method for degrading gamma-HCH in water.

[0003] In recent years, although membrane separation, material adsorption and biodegradation processes have good effects on the treatment of pesticides in water, they cannot achieve efficient degradation of pollutants, and are prone to cause secondary pollution and other problems. Electrochemical oxidation is a kind of advanced oxidation technology with good safety, high automation, wide application range, good operation convenience, high efficiency of organic pollutant degradation and good environmental compatibility, which can be used for efficient degradation of pesticides in water. In the electrochemical oxidation technology, the electrode material is a key factor affecting the degradation and mineralization efficiency of pollutants. The lead dioxide (PbO2) electrode has the characteristics of high oxygen evolution potential, good conductivity and low cost. However, the pure PbO2 electrode has problems such as easy peeling of the active layer, insufficient catalytic activity and limited service life. Therefore, we propose an electrochemical method for synergistically and efficiently degrading pesticide gamma-HCH in water by using a modified lead dioxide-graphite felt electrode. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present application is to overcome the existing defects and provide an electrochemical method for synergistically and efficiently degrading pesticide gamma-HCH in water by using a modified lead dioxide-graphite felt electrode, which can quickly degrade pesticide gamma-HCH and maintain a high removal rate in a wide pH range, thereby effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0038] Example 1: Effect of electrodes on γ-HCH degradation

[0039] To verify the high efficiency of the electrochemical system composed of a composite anode (TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La) and a graphite felt cathode in degrading γ-HCH, experiments were conducted on the degradation of γ-HCH using electrochemical systems constructed with different electrode combinations. The operation steps are as follows:

[0040] (1) Prepare 5 groups of 100mL aqueous solutions containing 1mg / L γ-HCH and 0.1M Na2SO4 electrolyte, without adjusting the pH of the solution (original pH = 6.3);

[0041] (2) Construct an electrochemical system with 5 electrode pairs:

[0042] Group 1, Commercial PbO2 anode + graphite felt (GF) cathode;

[0043] Group 2, TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode + GF cathode;

[0044] Group 3, TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode + graphite plate (GP) cathode;

[0045] Group 4, TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode + titanium plate (TP) cathode;

[0046] Group 5, TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode + stainless steel (SSP) cathode.

[0047] (3) Apply 20 mA / cm 2Degradation experiments were conducted using a constant current density. The distance between the anode and cathode electrodes in the system was 10 mm, the magnetic stirrer was rotated at 500 rpm, and the temperature was 25 ± 2 ℃.

[0048] (4) After electrolysis for 0, 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 minutes, take 1 mL of water sample into a 10 mL centrifuge tube and add 3 mL of n-hexane (chromatographic grade). Vortex for 1 hour and centrifuge for 10 minutes (3000 rpm). Take the upper n-hexane layer and analyze it with gas chromatography-electron capture detector (GC-ECD) to determine the concentration of γ-HCH in the solution.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a comparison diagram of the degradation effects of the electrochemical systems constructed with the five electrode pairs in this embodiment on γ-HCH. Figure 1 It can be seen that the degradation rate constant k of γ-HCH in group 2 is 0.28493 min. -1 Higher than Group 1 (0.22906 min) -1 The second group reached the equilibrium point faster than the first group, achieving a γ-HCH removal rate of 96.0% after 15 minutes of electrolysis, indicating a certain improvement in the catalytic performance of the modified anode TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La. The degradation rate constant of γ-HCH in the second group was 9.74 times that of the third, fourth, and fifth groups (k = 0.02925 min). -1 ), 7.06 times (k = 0.04038min) -1 ), 11.97 times (k = 0.02381 min) -1 The results show that graphite felt with high specific surface area increases the removal rate of γ-HCH by more than 50% compared with other cathode materials, confirming that the electrochemical degradation system constructed by TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode and graphite felt cathode can efficiently degrade γ-HCH.

[0050] Example 2: Determining the roles of anode / cathode in the γ-HCH degradation process

[0051] To elucidate the role of the anode / cathode in the degradation of γ-HCH in the TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode-coordinated graphite felt cathode electrochemical system, a two-chamber electrochemical degradation experiment was conducted. The procedure is as follows:

[0052] (1) A cation exchange membrane was used to separate the anode chamber and the cathode chamber, and 50 mL of an aqueous solution containing 1 mg / L γ-HCH and 0.1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte (pH = 6.3) was added to each of the anode chamber and the cathode chamber respectively.

[0053] (2) Using the TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La described in Example 1 as the anode (located in the anode chamber) and graphite felt as the cathode (located in the cathode chamber), the electrode spacing is 50 mm and the current density is 20 mA / cm². 2 The magnetic stirrer rotates at 500 rpm and the temperature is 25±2℃;

[0054] (3) After electrolysis for 0, 3, 5, 10 and 15 minutes, take 1 mL of the solution from each chamber into a 10 mL centrifuge tube and add 3 mL of n-hexane (chromatographic grade). Vortex for 1 hour and centrifuge for 10 minutes (3000 rpm). Take the upper n-hexane layer for GC-ECD analysis to determine the concentration of γ-HCH in the solution.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a comparison of the degradation effects of γ-HCH in the anode and cathode chambers of the two-chamber electrolytic cell in this embodiment. Figure 2 It can be seen that after 15 minutes of electrolysis, the removal rate of γ-HCH in the cathode chamber was 95.5%, and the removal rate of γ-HCH in the anode chamber was 43.1%. The degradation rate constant of γ-HCH in the cathode chamber (k = 0.20301 min) is... -1 ) is the anode chamber (k = 0.03595 min) -1 The γ-HCH degradation rate was 5.65 times higher than that of γ-HCH, indicating that the degradation mainly occurred at the cathode. This may be because γ-HCH gains electrons from the cathode and is reduced and degraded, in conjunction with the reactive oxygen species (such as ·OH and O2) generated in the cathode chamber. ·– , 1 Indirect degradation (such as O2) is more efficient than direct anodic oxidation degradation, which is accompanied by reactive oxygen species (such as ·OH, SO42-) generated by the anode. ·– The efficiency of indirect degradation (etc.).

[0056] Example 3: Effect of current density on γ-HCH degradation efficiency

[0057] To verify the removal efficiency of γ-HCH by the electrochemical degradation system constructed with TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode and graphite felt cathode at different current densities and to determine the optimal operating parameters, the following steps were taken:

[0058] (1) Using the TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode and graphite felt cathode described in Example 1, with the electrode spacing fixed at 10 mm, the electrode was placed in 100 mL of γ-HCH aqueous solution (initial concentration 1 mg / L, pH = 6.3, 0.1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte), the magnetic stirrer was rotated at 500 rpm, and the temperature was 25 ± 2 °C;

[0059] (2) Set 5 sets of current densities: 0 mA / cm 25mA / cm 2 10mA / cm 2 20mA / cm 2 40mA / cm 2 ;

[0060] (3) The concentration of γ-HCH in the solution was determined by the method in step (4) of Example 1.

[0061] Figure 3 This is a comparison graph showing the degradation effect of γ-HCH under different current densities in this embodiment. Figure 3 It can be seen that at 5mA / cm 2 10mA / cm 2 20mA / cm 2 40mA / cm 2 At the specified current densities, the removal rates of γ-HCH after 15 minutes of reaction were 69.5%, 94.2%, 96.0%, and 86.6%, respectively. Furthermore, γ-HCH did not degrade in the system without applied current. These results indicate that applying a current of 20 mA / cm² significantly reduces the degradation rate of γ-HCH. 2 The optimal current density has the best effect on the degradation of γ-HCH.

[0062] Example 4: pH adaptability verification

[0063] To investigate the stability of the electrochemical degradation system constructed with TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode and graphite felt cathode over a wide pH range for γ-HCH degradation, five groups of reaction experiments were conducted with solutions at different pH values. The procedures are as follows:

[0064] (1) A TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode and a graphite felt cathode were used, with the electrode spacing fixed at 10 mm and the current density set to 20 mA / cm² as described in Example 3. 2 ;

[0065] (2) Prepare 5 groups of 100 mL aqueous solutions containing 1 mg / L γ-HCH and 0.1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. The initial pH of the solution in 4 groups was adjusted to 3.0, 5.0, 9.0 and 11.0 with 0.1 M H2SO4 and 0.1 M NaOH. The magnetic stirrer was set to 500 rpm and the temperature was 25 ± 2℃.

[0066] (3) The concentration of γ-HCH in the solution was determined by the method in step (4) of Example 1.

[0067] Figure 4 This is a comparison graph showing the degradation effect of γ-HCH under different pH conditions in this embodiment. Figure 4It can be seen that under pH conditions of 3, 5, 6.3, 9, and 11, the removal rates of γ-HCH after 15 minutes of reaction were 81.8%, 94.2%, 96.0%, 83.5%, and 79.9%, respectively. This indicates that the electrochemical degradation system constructed by TiO2-RNTs / SnO2-Sb / PbO2-La anode and graphite felt cathode can degrade γ-HCH over a wide pH range, with a removal rate of over 79%. The effect was best at pH 6.3, with a removal rate of 96%.
