The application discloses a method for removing odorants in water by using an
ozone /
potassium periodate homogeneous phase, which comprises adding
ozone (O3) and
potassium periodate (IO4 ‑ ) into water containing odorants; adjusting the pH value of the water to 6.0-8.0; and reacting for 3-10 minutes at 0-35 DEG C; wherein the
molar ratio of O3 to IO4 ‑ is 1:2-10:1, the
ozone dosage is 2.0-8.0 mg / L, and the
potassium periodate dosage is 3.0-15.0 mg / L. The method can generate high-activity free radicals (·OH, IO3·, etc.) by using a homogeneous phase catalytic
system, and thus realizes efficient degradation of the odorants.
