[0035] Comparative Example 1 Compared to Example 1, this embodiment omits S1, which involves placing 500 mL of wastewater into an approximately 1000 mL ultrasonic chemical reactor, with a concentration of fluorinated organic matter of 12 mg / L.

[0036] Comparative Example 2 Compared to Example 1, this embodiment omits the introduction of micro-nano bubbles in S2.

[0037] Comparative Example 3 Compared with Example 1, this embodiment omits the ultrasonic processing step in S2.

[0038] Table 1 is a summary table of experimental data on the decomposition rate of fluorinated organic compounds and the amount of CaF2 (dry basis) in the embodiments and comparative examples of this application. Decomposition rate of fluorinated organic compounds: content of fluorinated organic compounds in the concentrate / content of fluorinated organic compounds in the treated solution.

[0039] Comparative Example 1, compared to Example 1, highlights the decisive role of "concentrated pretreatment". Although Comparative Example 1 directly treated the original dilute solution (12 mg / L), the concentration was too low, and even with the same molar ratio of reagents, the total amount of ·OH generated per unit volume was limited; more importantly, the synergistic effect of micro-nano bubbles and ultrasound depends on a certain concentration of contaminants to trigger effective collisions and energy transfer. The results showed that only 2.1 mg of CaF2 was generated in the unconcentrated state, indicating that fewer CF bond breaks occurred. Therefore, adsorption concentration is not only a means to improve efficiency, but also an effective way to initiate advanced oxidation reactions.

[0040] Compared to Example 1, in Comparative Example 2, the decomposition rate of fluorinated organic compounds plummeted to 56.3% and the CaF2 yield was less than half (31.3 mg) when micro- and nano-bubbles were absent. This was because the lack of an interfacial reaction field and internal energy burst point provided by the bubbles limited the ·OH generation pathway, making it difficult for pollutants to be "captured" to the reaction hotspot region, thus reducing the utilization rate of the oxidant. Therefore, micro- and nano-bubbles may act as "nanoreactors," forming a localized high oxidation potential region at their gas-liquid interface.

[0041] Comparative Example 3, compared to Example 1, shows that the decomposition rate is only 58.1% under conditions without ultrasound, similar to the case without bubbles. Therefore, ultrasound not only provides cavitation energy but also plays the following roles: breaking up bubble aggregation and maintaining micro / nano-scale distribution; enhancing mixing uniformity and avoiding local concentration differences; and accelerating Fe... 2+ / Fe 3+ Recycling and regeneration delays catalyst deactivation.

[0042] The results show that "ultrasound + micro / nano bubbles" is not a simple superposition, but forms a positive feedback loop - ultrasound promotes bubble generation and rupture, and bubble collapse in turn enhances the sound field intensity.

[0043] This application develops an integrated "adsorption-vacuum desorption" concentration technology, breaking through the bottleneck of difficult treatment of low-concentration fluorinated organic compounds; constructs a triple synergistic oxidation system of "micro-nano bubbles + ultrasound + Fenton", significantly improving the chain breaking efficiency of fluorinated organic compounds; realizes the directional conversion of fluorine and the resource recovery of CaF2, and promotes the transformation of pollution control to a circular economy.

In particular, the descriptions of the embodiments described later are relatively simple, and relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions of the foregoing embodiments.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
