Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology, and more specifically, to a system and method for treating halogenated phenolic organic pollutants in water based on a microreactor. Background Technology
[0002] A variety of emerging organic pollutants exist in the aquatic environment, which are difficult to remove through conventional water treatment processes, posing potential threats to ecosystems and human health. Halogenated phenolic organic pollutants are a typical class of organic pollutants, characterized by the replacement of hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring of phenols with halogen atoms such as chlorine, bromine, and iodine. The introduction of halogen atoms enhances the toxicity and environmental persistence of phenolic pollutants, exhibiting high stability, high biotoxicity, strong bioaccumulation, and complex secondary toxicities, resulting in multiple health risks.
[0003] To remove halogenated phenolic pollutants from water, researchers have developed various treatment methods. Physical methods such as adsorption and membrane filtration can remove halogenated phenolic pollutants, but these are essentially physical transfers or concentrations of the pollutants. Compared to physical methods, chemical methods can achieve the chemical transformation of halogenated phenolic pollutants. Advanced oxidation-reduction (AOR) and advanced reduction-reduction (ARR) technologies have received widespread attention in recent years. AOR utilizes the resulting reactive oxygen species to oxidize and transform pollutants, while ARR utilizes the resulting reactive reducing species to reduce and transform pollutants. Both chemical treatment methods can be used to remove halogenated phenolic pollutants, but they also have corresponding problems. During AOR treatment, the carbon-halogen bonds in halogenated phenolic pollutant molecules are difficult to break through oxidation, while other structures in the molecules are easily oxidized, leading to the formation of a large number of halogenated byproducts after AOR degradation, which still pose a potential threat to the ecosystem. During ARR treatment, the carbon-halogen bonds can be effectively broken under the action of reducing species, but the reduced phenolic pollutants cannot be further transformed, similarly posing a potential threat to the ecosystem. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies. This invention provides a system and method for treating halogenated phenolic organic pollutants in water based on a microreactor. By integrating advanced oxidation and advanced reduction processes within the microreactor, under the same light source excitation, halogen atoms in halogenated phenols are first removed through an advanced reduction reaction, followed by photocatalytic advanced oxidation to promote the polymerization and removal of phenolic pollutants. This invention can efficiently remove halogenated phenolic pollutants, yielding polymer products free of halogen heteroatoms, reducing treatment costs, inhibiting the formation of halogenated disinfection byproducts, and achieving integration and miniaturization of the reaction process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A system for treating halogenated phenolic organic pollutants in water based on a microreactor includes: a feeding device, a microreactor, a light source, a product collection device, and a control device; the feeding device is connected to the microreactor and is used to transport reactants into the microreactor; wherein, the feeding device includes a first liquid container, a second liquid container, a third liquid container, and a liquid transfer pump; the liquid transfer pump is connected to the inlets of the first liquid container, the second liquid container, and the third liquid container respectively; the microreactor includes a microreactor chip, the surface of which is provided with a first liquid inlet, a second liquid inlet, a third liquid inlet, and a liquid outlet; the microreactor chip is provided with microchannels, the microchannels including sequentially connected The microreactor consists of a reduction section and an oxidation section. The outlet of the first liquid container is connected to the first liquid inlet via a first solenoid valve, and the outlet of the second liquid container is connected to the second liquid inlet via a second solenoid valve. The first and second liquid inlets are correspondingly connected to the reduction section of the microchannel. The outlet of the third liquid container is connected to the third liquid inlet via a third solenoid valve, and the third liquid inlet is correspondingly connected to the oxidation section of the microchannel. This is used to transport the reactants into the microreactor. The light source is an ultraviolet light source and is located on one side of the microreactor chip. The product collection device is connected to the liquid outlet. The control device is connected to the liquid delivery pump and the light source, respectively.
[0006] This invention also discloses a method for treating halogenated phenolic organic pollutants in water using the microreactor-based system described above, comprising the following steps: S1. The water containing halogenated phenolic organic pollutants is purged with nitrogen to obtain reactant one, which is placed in the first liquid container; the nitrogen-purged water and sulfite are mixed to obtain reactant two, which is placed in the second liquid container; the oxygen-purged water and catalyst are mixed to obtain reactant three, which is placed in the third liquid container. S2. Start the liquid delivery pump through the control device and open the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve to deliver the reactant one and the reactant two to the reduction section of the microchannel through the first liquid inlet and the second liquid inlet, respectively; after mixing, start the ultraviolet light source to make the mixed materials undergo advanced reduction reaction in the reduction section to obtain intermediate liquid one; S3. The third solenoid valve is opened by the control device, and the third reactant material is transported to the oxidation section of the microchannel through the third liquid inlet, where it is mixed with the incoming intermediate liquid. Under the irradiation of the ultraviolet light source, the mixture undergoes a photocatalytic advanced oxidation reaction in the oxidation section to obtain intermediate liquid. S4. Collect the intermediate liquid II from the liquid outlet and separate the catalyst to obtain treated water.
[0007] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention will have the following beneficial effects: (1) Based on the structural characteristics of halogenated phenolic pollutants, advanced reduction technology and advanced oxidation technology are coupled. First, advanced reduction technology is used to remove halogen atoms from halogenated phenolic pollutants and convert them into phenolic pollutants. Then, advanced oxidation technology is used to further oxidize and convert the phenolic pollutants, thus overcoming the disadvantages of advanced reduction technology and advanced oxidation technology alone.
[0008] (2) To address the structural characteristics of reduced phenolic pollutants, which readily polymerize, a composite catalyst containing a photoresponsive catalytic active component and a metal oxyhalide component is employed in the advanced oxidation technology. The photoresponsive catalytic active component can generate photogenerated electrons and holes under light irradiation. These photogenerated electrons can transfer to the interlayer of the metal oxyhalide layer, effectively inhibiting electron-hole recombination. The photogenerated electrons reduce oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide, while the photogenerated holes and hydrogen peroxide, under the influence of the metal oxyhalide component, promote the polymerization reaction of reduced phenolic pollutants. The synergistic effect of the two components in the catalyst ensures that the photocatalytic advanced oxidation reaction system effectively promotes the removal of reduced phenolic pollutants through the polymerization reaction pathway. Compared to conventional degradation and mineralization pathways, the oxidant requirement for the polymerization reaction pathway is significantly reduced, allowing the small amount of oxidant generated in situ under photocatalysis to support the oxidation reaction, thus achieving effective coupling between the photocatalytic reaction and the advanced oxidation polymerization reaction.
[0009] (3) The obtained polymer products do not contain halogen heteroatoms, which facilitates subsequent resource utilization. On the one hand, during pyrolysis or incineration, toxic halogen compounds such as dioxins can be avoided from the source, making it more environmentally friendly; on the other hand, it also simplifies the chemical recycling process. The products will not produce corrosive hydrogen halides during degradation or depolymerization, thereby reducing equipment requirements and improving the purity of the recycled products.
[0010] (4) Both advanced reduction and advanced oxidation reactions occur within microchannels, offering significant advantages over conventional scale reactors. For advanced reduction reactions, the small size of microchannels allows light to easily penetrate the entire reaction system, avoiding the "dead zone" caused by excessive liquid layer thickness in conventional scale reactors, thus achieving uniform and efficient irradiation of reactants. Simultaneously, the absorption and shielding of incident light by water impurities can reduce reaction efficiency, but microreactors, due to their extremely short optical path length, significantly mitigate this effect, making them superior to conventional scale reactors. For photocatalytic advanced oxidation reactions, microchannels also enhance the irradiation effect. Furthermore, since photocatalytic advanced oxidation reactions occur on the catalyst surface, microchannels significantly shorten the diffusion distance from reactants to the catalyst surface. The limited channel size also inhibits catalyst particle aggregation and increases the solid-liquid interface, all of which contribute to the effectiveness of photocatalytic advanced oxidation reactions.
[0011] (5) Compared with individual advanced oxidation reactions and individual advanced reduction reactions, the use of a composite reaction system may lead to an increase in processing costs. To this end, the present invention selects an ultraviolet / sulfite advanced reduction reaction system and an ultraviolet photocatalytic advanced oxidation reaction system, so that the advanced reduction reaction and the advanced oxidation reaction are integrated in the same microchannel, which can be excited by the same ultraviolet light source, reducing equipment investment and energy consumption; and through catalyst structure design, it is ensured that the photocatalytic advanced oxidation reaction system effectively promotes the removal of phenolic pollutants after reduction through the polymerization reaction pathway using dissolved oxygen, reducing the consumption of oxidant; the reaction rate in the microchannel is higher than that in the conventional scale, and the fluid mixing is enhanced by the microchannel structure design, which further improves the reaction rate and shortens the reaction time; by reducing equipment investment and energy consumption, reducing oxidant consumption and shortening reaction time, the processing cost is controlled to the maximum extent.
[0012] (6) Based on the characteristics of advanced reduction and advanced oxidation reactions, the microchannel is divided into a reduction section and an oxidation section. After passing through the reduction section, the halogenated phenolic pollutants are mixed with the catalyst to avoid interference from the catalyst in the advanced reduction reaction and to ensure that the advanced reduction and advanced oxidation reactions proceed in steps. Special attention is paid to purging the feed into the reduction section with nitrogen to remove dissolved oxygen, so as to prevent dissolved oxygen from interfering with the reduction reaction. At the same time as introducing the catalyst in the oxidation section, abundant dissolved oxygen is introduced. On the one hand, this consumes the residual reducing agent sodium sulfite after the advanced reduction reaction, preventing the reducing environment containing sodium sulfite from interfering with the subsequent oxidation reaction. On the other hand, it provides raw materials for the in-situ generation of hydrogen peroxide. Attached Figure Description

[0060] Specifically, the inventors explain the inventive principle of this application as follows: This invention targets the structural characteristics of halogenated phenolic pollutants by coupling advanced reduction and advanced oxidation technologies. First, advanced reduction technology removes halogen atoms from the halogenated phenolic pollutants, converting them into phenolic pollutants. Then, in the advanced oxidation technology, a composite catalyst containing a photoresponsive catalytic active component and a metal oxyhalide component is employed. The two components in the catalyst work synergistically, allowing a small amount of oxidant generated in situ under photocatalysis to support the oxidation reaction. This ensures that the photocatalytic advanced oxidation reaction system effectively promotes the removal of reduced phenolic pollutants through polymerization, thus achieving effective coupling of photocatalysis and advanced oxidation polymerization.

[0063] The microreactor includes a microreactor chip (made of quartz), with a first liquid inlet, a second liquid inlet, a third liquid inlet, and a liquid outlet on its surface. The microreactor chip contains microchannels (100 μm high and 500 μm wide), each comprising a sequentially connected reduction section and an oxidation section (100 mm long in both sections).

The polymerization product was analyzed to be a halogen-free phenolic polymer, and the total organic carbon removal rate in water decreased by only 3% after the catalyst was reused 5 times.
[0080] Comparative Example 1: Individual Advanced Reduction Processing Experimental setup: The same system and parameters as in Example 1 were used, but only the advanced reduction reaction was carried out (i.e., only reactant one and reactant two were injected, and reactant three was only injected with pre-purged nitrogen-treated water without a catalyst). The products were collected directly after the reaction.
[0081] Results: The removal rate of 2,4-dichlorophenol reached 99.8%, and the dehalogenation rate (based on chlorine atoms) was 98.5%, but the total organic carbon removal rate was 5%, and the products were a large amount of phenolic pollutants such as phenol.
[0082] Comparative Example 2: Advanced Oxidation Treatment Alone Experimental setup: The same system and parameters as in Example 1 were used, but only the advanced oxidation reaction was carried out (i.e., reactant 2 was injected with pre-nitrogen-purged water that did not contain sodium sulfite).
[0083] Results: The removal rate of 2,4-dichlorophenol was 75.2%, the dehalogenation rate was 32.6%, and the total organic carbon removal rate was 18.5%. A large number of halogenated byproducts (such as chloroquinones) were generated, which were highly toxic.
[0084] Comparative Example 3: Using a single catalyst component Experimental setup: Same as in Example 1, but the catalyst uses only the photoresponsive catalytically active component (titanium dioxide, without metal oxyhalide components). Other parameters remain unchanged.
[0085] Results: The removal rate of 2,4-dichlorophenol was 99.8%, the dehalogenation rate was 98.5%, and the total organic carbon removal rate in water was 25.0%. The main products were small molecule degradation products, such as phenol and quinones.
[0086] Comparative Example 4: Conventional-scale reactor treatment Experimental setup: A sequential reduction-oxidation reaction was conducted using a conventional beaker reactor (liquid layer thickness 50 mm) with the same reactants and conditions (light source wavelength 365 nm, intensity 10 mW / cm²). Based on preliminary experiments, the optimal reaction time was determined to be 60 min.
[0087] Results: The removal rate of 2,4-dichlorophenol was 81.0%, the dehalogenation rate was 75.2%, and the total organic carbon removal rate in water was 54.8%. Due to unfavorable factors such as the light dead zone, uneven mixing, and catalyst agglomeration, the efficiency of both advanced reduction and advanced oxidation reactions was relatively low.
[0088] The above examples and comparative examples demonstrate that the system and method of the present invention can efficiently remove halogenated phenolic pollutants and inhibit the formation of halogenated byproducts, while the microreactor structure improves treatment efficiency and economy.
