Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drinking water pretreatment, and in particular to a method for removing COD from drinking water based on oxidative polymerization. Mn The method. Background Technology

[0002] Ensuring safe drinking water is crucial for maintaining human health and promoting social progress. However, the problem of drinking water pollution remains severe globally. Data from 2023 shows that approximately 2.2 billion people worldwide still lack access to safe drinking water. With accelerating modernization and continued population growth, the environmental pressure on water sources is significantly increasing. It has been reported that in 2023, the permanganate index (COD) in my country's surface water... Mn The exceedance rate was as high as 4.8%, which not only affects the quality of drinking water but also potentially endangers human health. To ensure drinking water safety, effective treatment and purification measures must be taken. This is not only a necessary means to protect public health but also an important measure to achieve sustainable development.

[0003] Currently, the core treatment processes for conventional drinking water in my country mainly include coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection units. However, the traditional coagulation process has limitations in COD control. Mn Its removal efficiency is limited, making it difficult to deal with COD. Mn The problem of excessive COD levels in drinking water necessitates the introduction of pretreatment processes. Mn The removal of pollutants is a common process. Permanganate (Mn(VII)) is a commonly used pre-oxidant with good oxidizing power over a wide pH range. Its reduction product, manganese dioxide, has adsorption and coagulation effects, enhancing pollutant removal. However, Mn(VII) has limited oxidizing power and is selective in oxidizing pollutants. Furthermore, its concentration must be limited to below 1.2 mg / L to avoid residual color. Therefore, to improve the oxidizing power of Mn(VII), many researchers have conducted studies on enhancing Mn(VII) in recent years. These enhanced Mn(VII) technologies include Lewis acid-catalyzed Mn(VII) oxidation, complexing agent-activated Mn(VII) oxidation, photoelectric activation of Mn(VII) oxidation, and reducing agent-activated Mn(VII) oxidation. However, while these enhanced Mn(VII) technologies can effectively degrade parent organic pollutants, they are difficult to mineralize them into carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, these enhanced Mn(VII) technologies are insufficient to address COD in water. Mn The problem of excessive levels of Mn(VII) is urgent. There is an urgent need to develop new Mn(VII) enhancement methods to improve COD levels in water. Mn The removal effect. Summary of the Invention
