Synergy of sulfate radical-driven oxidation with dynamic in situ Fe(III) coagulation for enhanced NOM precursor removal
Removal of natural organic matter (NOM) by conventional coagulation is often limited. This study investigated Fe(II)-activated sulfate-based oxidations (Fe(II)@SBOs), including peroxymonosulfate and peroxydisulfate (Fe(II)@PMS and Fe(II)@PS), for enhanced removal of NOM-derived disinfection by-products (DBPs). We provided fresh evidence exploring the synergistic roles of in situ radical oxidation and swift coagulation in Fe(II)@SBOs. At pH 7 and a low molar dose of DOC:Oxidant: Fe of 1:0.5:0.5, Fe(II)@PMS and Fe(II)@PS achieved better removals in DOC (55–59 %), fluorophoric substances (64–71 %), and DBP precursors (59–71 %), outperforming traditional Fe(III) by approximately 20–30 % for all tested parameters. At a high dose of 1:2:2, both Fe(II)@SBO systems reduced 80–90 % DBP precursors, which mitigated the calculated cytotoxicity potency of treated water by 0.5 to 1 order of magnitude lower than untreated water. Radical identification confirmed that Fe(II)@PMS generated •OH and SO4•– radicals more effectively than Fe(II)@PS. These radicals oxidized NOM, transforming its carbon‑carbon structure from a low (i.e. CC/CH, CO) to a high degree of oxygenated carbonaceous groups (i.e. CO, OCO). They reduced DBP formation via structural alternation of the precursor rather than complete organic mitigation, as evidenced by their minor impact in scavenging experiments. Instead, the newly formed Fe(III) characterized by monomeric and polymeric iron, governed the NOM removal process as demonstrated by chelating experiments. In situ Fe(III) facilitated swift coagulation for better charge neutralization with oxidized NOM and ultimately produced more compact flocs with a OO structure. These characteristics were opposed to conventional Fe(III), which formed loose and elongated flocs. This study elaborates the synergistic roles of in situ oxidation and coagulation in Fe(II)@SBOs systems, offering promising alternatives to conventional coagulation for NOM-DBP mitigation.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
