Abstract:
The development of more efficient advanced oxidation systems for serving various advanced treatment of wastewater is quite necessary and urgent. In this study, a nano-zero valent iron/periodate (nZVI-BC/PI) advanced oxidation system has been constructed, achieving a rapid degradation of acetaminophen (ACT, 1 mg/L) within 1 min (100 % at pH = 11) at low temperature (5℃). This system shows a great degradation in a wide range of pH (1 ∼ 11), improving the pH limitation of PI oxidation system. During the reaction process, ·OH as the main active species collaborate with 1O2, Fe (IV), ·O2- and electron transfer to degrade ACT. In this system, iron ion leaching is low (0.019 mg/L), ACT was effectively degraded (74.36 %∼97.32 %) under different water, moreover, the material has an expected recyclability. The research provides a significant guidance for the advanced treatment of wastewater especially in cold regions.
