Background
A great amount of organic pollutants generated in the industrial production process seriously affect the living state and ecological environment of human beings, and become an increasingly serious social and economic problem, especially the treatment of organic wastewater which is difficult to biodegrade is more difficult, the ozone catalytic oxidation technology is to excite ozone to generate hydroxyl radicals, then carry out a series of free radical chain reactions with the organic pollutants to gradually degrade the organic pollutants into harmless organic matters with low molecular weight and finally to CO2、H2The technology of O and other mineral salts can effectively solve the problem of reducing COD of sewage difficult to biochemically.
The key to the treatment effect of the catalytic ozonation process is the reaction activity of the catalyst. The conventional catalyst is mainly prepared by active metal loaded on carriers of active carbon, ceramsite and alumina, and the single active carbon catalyst is easy to wear and has higher loss rate in the use process; the ceramsite catalyst has lower specific surface and low activity; the alumina catalyst has a single pore structure and is not suitable for treating complex-component pollutants. When the conventional catalyst is used for treating organic pollutants, the reaction rate is low due to poor adsorption effect on complex molecular components, the driving force is insufficient, and the removal effect of the pollutants at high concentration is difficult to achieve, so that the activity of treating the organic pollutants is influenced. It is necessary to develop new catalytic materials to improve the efficient adsorption of organic pollutants, improve the mass transfer rate of pollutants and the initial concentration of catalytic treatment reactants, and realize the in-situ and real-time catalytic degradation of pollutants.
