吸附EDTA活性炭的电化学再生(英文)

采用吸附饱和EDTA的活性炭作为三维电极反应器中的粒子电极,多次使用后采用电化学方法对其再生。通过对吸附饱和EDTA的活性炭和多次电解使用后的活性炭的红外光谱谱图的分析得出,EDTA被活性炭吸附后产生甘氨酸H2NCH2COOH,通过N—H键生成一种永久性占据活性炭活性点的非催化活性缔合物,导致其催化活性消失,降解效率下降。采用电解方法使活性炭再生,得出活性炭的最佳活化条件为:电流100～300mA,溶液电导率1.39mS/cm,pH值6.0～8.0,电解1h可以使活性炭恢复活性,电解后有机物的残余TOC浓度低于10mg/L(初始浓度为200mg/L)。

Regeneration of activated carbon adsorbed EDTA by electrochemical method

Activated carbon after saturated adsorption of EDTA was used as particle electrode in a three-dimensional electrode reactor to treat EDTA-containing wastewater. Electrochemical method was used to regenerate activated carbon after many times of electrolysis. Based on the analysis of infrared spectra of activated carbon after adsorption and repeated electrolysis, EDTA was degraded into glycine, and then non-catalytic activated associated complex was formed with N—H bond on the activated carbon. The catalytic ability of the activated carbon vanished and the EDTA degradation efficiency was dropped. Activated carbon could be effectively regenerated by electrochemical method in the three-dimensional reactor. Effects of electric current, conductivity and pH on activated carbon regeneration were investigated, and the optimum conditions were concluded as follows: 100–300 mA of current intensity, 1.39 mS/cm of electric conductivity, 60 min of electrolysis time and pH 6.0-8.0. Under the optimized conditions, the activity of the activated carbon can be recovered and the residual total organic carbon (TOC) was below 10 mg/L (the initial TOC was 200 mg/L) in the three-dimensional electrode reactor.
