Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, and more specifically, it relates to a method for the efficient degradation of organic fluoride-containing wastewater by hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by a binary system of ferrous sulfide and ferric sulfate. Background Technology
[0002] Organic fluorides are widely used in refrigerants, semiconductor manufacturing, energy storage temperature control, precision cleaning, and lubrication. However, the widespread use of organic fluorides has also led to the generation of organic fluoride-containing wastewater, especially wastewater containing perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Organic fluoride-containing wastewater is characterized by its persistence, bioaccumulation, long-distance migration, difficulty in treatment, and significant hazards.
[0003] Existing technologies for treating organic fluoride-containing wastewater have significant limitations. Examples include activated carbon adsorption and membrane separation. While activated carbon adsorption is effective for long-chain organic fluorides, it essentially only transfers the pollutants rather than removes them, making subsequent treatment difficult. Membrane separation (including microfiltration / ultrafiltration, nanofiltration / reverse osmosis) uses pressure-driven separation and membrane pore size sieving or dissolution-diffusion principles to separate pollutants, but it also faces the challenge of treating the concentrated wastewater or retained residues after separation.
[0004] To address the challenges of treating organic fluoride-containing wastewater using existing technologies, advanced oxidation processes have emerged, such as the Fenton process and persulfate oxidation. These processes generate free radicals to break down organic matter, achieving degradation or mineralization. However, conventional advanced oxidation methods have limited efficiency in treating organic fluoride-containing wastewater; the Fenton process and persulfate oxidation, for example, can only remove 20%–40% of the pollutants.
[0005] Therefore, given the challenges of treating organic fluoride-containing wastewater, including high difficulty, high cost, and limited treatment efficiency, developing a new, more efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly treatment technology suitable for low-concentration and complex-quality organic fluoride-containing wastewater has become one of the technical problems that the industry needs to solve. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for the efficient degradation of organic fluoride-containing wastewater by hydrogen peroxide catalyzing a binary system of ferrous sulfide and ferric sulfate, which can achieve the efficient removal of organic fluoride-containing wastewater by utilizing inexpensive ferrous sulfide and ferric sulfate to catalyze hydrogen peroxide.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:
[0008] The method for the efficient degradation of organic fluoride-containing wastewater by hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by a binary system of ferrous sulfide and ferric sulfate as described in this application includes the following steps:
[0009] (1) Prepare a 1M ferric sulfate solution for later use. Crush and grind ferrous sulfide into powder with a particle size of 90~100 mesh. Soak the ground ferrous sulfide powder in a 2mM sulfuric acid solution until the fresh surface of ferrous sulfide is exposed. After soaking, rinse with deionized water until there is no residual sulfuric acid solution on the surface and then set aside for use.
[0010] (2) Add organic fluoride wastewater to the reactor and slowly add 2M sulfuric acid solution until the pH value of the organic fluoride wastewater is measured to be 3~4 by a pH meter, then stop adding sulfuric acid solution;
[0011] (3) Add the ferrous sulfide powder with the fresh surface exposed after step (1) to the reactor in step (2), and ensure that the mass concentration of ferrous sulfide after addition is not less than 3.2 g / L. At the same time, add 1 ml of 1 M ferric sulfate solution to the reactor in step (2).
[0012] (4) Place the reactor from step (3) in a magnetic stirrer and set the rotation speed to 1800~2000 r / min and the stirring time to 10 min;
[0013] (5) Add 77mM hydrogen peroxide to the reactor at the end of step (4) for the first time, and add 38.5mM hydrogen peroxide at the 20 min, 45 min and 90 min of the reaction respectively. Set the speed of the magnetic stirrer to 1800~2000r / min and the stirring time to 120min.
[0014] (6) Take samples at time points of 0 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 90 min and 120 min after the start of the reaction in step (5). Take 5 mL of sample and add the 5 mL sample to a test tube containing 0.2 mL of 6M sodium hydroxide solution. Shake well to terminate the reaction.
[0015] (7) Centrifuge the sample from step (6) to terminate the reaction and measure the amount of organic matter removed from the organic fluorine wastewater after precipitation is complete.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0017] This application employs a system of ferrous sulfide and ferric sulfate activated hydrogen peroxide to treat organic fluoride-containing wastewater.
