Abstract

The presence of organic micropollutants in water sources worldwide has highlighted the need for effective oxidation methods suitable for various specialized conditions. This study is the first to elucidate the mechanisms driving enhanced pollutant removal using a periodate (PI, IO4)-mediated system under oxygen-limited conditions. A carbonaceous catalyst was employed to activate PI, exhibiting significantly improved micropollutant degradation (sulfadiazine, SDZ) in a deoxygenated environment, achieving a degradation rate seven times faster than under aerobic conditions. Fe(IV), O2•–, reactive intermediates, and electron transfer mechanisms were found to contribute to SDZ degradation, but they were not the factors behind the increased degradation efficiency under deoxygenated conditions. Crucially, the absence of oxygen enhanced degradation by eliminating competition with IO4 for electrons, strengthening PI adsorption, and stabilizing the Fe–O bond, which collectively promoted PI activation. Continuous bubbling further accelerated the degradation of SDZ throughout the experiment. Additionally, this system demonstrated broad-spectrum degradation capabilities, with the catalytic activity of CWBC (carbon-based catalyst prepared with coagulation waste) restored through simple methanol treatment and minimal interference from coexisting substances in water. Overall, this study advances the understanding of PI-based advanced oxidation processes under deoxygenated conditions, broadening their potential applications.

打破氧依赖:脱氧条件下高碘酸盐催化过程中微污染物降解的增强
世界各地水源中有机微污染物的存在突出了对适用于各种特殊条件的有效氧化方法的需求。这项研究首次阐明了在氧气限制条件下使用高碘酸盐(PI, IO4 -)介导的系统增强污染物去除的机制。采用碳质催化剂活化PI,在脱氧环境下对微污染物(磺胺嘧啶,SDZ)的降解效果显著提高,降解速度比好氧条件下快7倍。发现Fe(IV)、O2•-、反应中间体和电子传递机制有助于SDZ的降解,但它们不是脱氧条件下降解效率提高的因素。至关重要的是,缺氧通过消除与IO4 -的电子竞争、加强PI的吸附和稳定Fe-O键来增强降解,这些共同促进了PI的活化。在整个实验过程中,持续的鼓泡进一步加速了SDZ的降解。此外,该系统显示出广谱降解能力,通过简单的甲醇处理恢复CWBC(由混凝废物制备的碳基催化剂)的催化活性,并且水中共存物质的干扰最小。总的来说,本研究促进了对缺氧条件下基于pi的高级氧化工艺的理解,拓宽了其潜在的应用范围。
