Description

By strengthening the method that the removal of micro substance pollutent is produced to tap water
The present invention relates to the method for the former water generates tap water from comprising the micro substance pollutent in first aspect.In second aspect, the present invention relates to produce for method according to a first aspect of the invention the equipment of tap water.
In the whole world, underground water is subject to unwanted material to pollute formation subject matter.The underground natural serious situation that can produce groundwater pollution that is configured in some zones, and carry out the place of industrialization farming once, occur that in water sterilant and their degradation production are common phenomena.
Exist the surpassing in 3,000,000 underground water wells of the world excessive arsenic and the risk of cancer increased in involved area and various other diseases and health problem to be associated, wherein Bangladesh is very important example.
In order to consider the unfavorable healthy effect of arsenic, WHO is reduced to 10 μ g/L by the suggestion limit of Arsenic in Drinking Water, and, in many industrialized countries, this limit is set to 5 μ g/L now.Yet, use existing methodical a large amount of waterworkss to fail there is shutdown or invested the option new and equipment for purifying costliness in accordance with this limit and they.Existed with rational cost arsenic content has been reduced to the challenge lower than 5g/l from the 20-35 μ mg/l level often run into.
Polluted by arsenic having in the waterworks of underground water of iron of low levels in reception is the problem of especially severe.In the waterworks with the water that is rich in iron cpd, this is more not serious because when water in a usual manner by oxidation, usually inflate while processing, arsenic usually with the iron cpd coprecipitation of oxidation, until iron precipitates in sand-bed filter or settling tank.Yet, if the iron level of water is not enough to guarantee the required coprecipitation of arsenic and other pollutents (comprising sterilant), can not remove arsenic by the conventional oxidation of water.
DE 197 45 664 A1 disclose the method for the treatment of the water containing arsenic, and wherein water flows through the reactor that is filled with the iron content particle, and described particle is by mixed sand and iron powder and do not comprising that the oxygen down-firing produces subsequently.In reactor, the dioxygen oxidation be dissolved in water is crossed by Tie Tong, generates Fe (III) ion, and described ion forms poorly soluble ferric arsenate together with As.Excessive Fe (III) ion precipitates with the ironic hydroxide form in conjunction with As by absorption.Therefore, when being bonded to particle, must from particle, be removed with suitable interval.When precipitation Fe (III) compound, Particle Phase ought promptly be used agglomerate and must be often exchanged.The manufacture of particle needs work and energy.In addition, if the underground water oxygen level of processing is low, method need to be before processing by other oxygen supply to reactor.In a word, known method is labour-intensive, complicated with expensive.

Hereinafter, illustrate preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to nonrestrictive figure.
Fig. 1 illustrates the embodiment of the equipment for carrying out method according to a first aspect of the invention.
Fig. 2 illustrates the embodiment of the closed container of equipment according to a second aspect of the invention, and described equipment is for carrying out method according to a first aspect of the invention.
With reference to figure 1, the major parts of the equipment of illustrating is referred to by following numeral: the 1st, and the pump for the top of raw water pump being delivered to equipment to closed container 2; The 3rd, iron-bearing materials; The 4th, the top of aerator; The 5th, the plenum chamber of described aerator; The 6th, collection container; The 7th, for water being led to the pump of sand-bed filter 8; The 9th, the outlet of pure drinking water; The 10th, for treated water is pumped to the pump of the top of equipment for re-treatment from collection container 6.
At Fig. 2, the major parts of the closed container of illustrating is referred to by following letter: A is the stainless cylinder of steel that forms the closed container as defined above; B is iron staff; C is the insulation leading-in end, and the electrical lead (not shown) prolongs to the outside of tank A and consequently via the variohm of the form with the potentiometer (not shown), latter's electric current is connected to iron staff B from the insulation leading-in end; D is for receiving the entrance of former water; E is the outlet that the water of Fu Tie leaves from closed container.
To provide now comprehensive description of the preferred embodiment of the method according to this invention.
Appropriate pending former water is led to the inside of stainless cylinder of steel A by entrance D to contact with iron staff B.Electrical lead attaches to the outside of stainless cylinder of steel, and, by potentiometer, attach to insulation leading-in end C, so that electric current connects iron staff and stainless cylinder of steel.Due to their different electrode potential, electric coupling is established and electric current will flow.Iron staff now as anode and stainless cylinder of steel as negative electrode, and pending water is because its specific conductivity is served as ionogen.Ionogen provides the ion that discharges from iron staff to the more material of inertia, the i.e. mode of the surface transport of stainless cylinder of steel.Simultaneously, exist the oxygen in water to be consumed according to following reaction:
2Fe 0+O 2+2H 2O→2Fe 2++4OH -
The ferrous iron formed in this mode can contribute to form again patina, this patina comprise with its bivalent form with and the iron of trivalent form:
10 (Fe 3 iIfe iII(OH) 8cl*2H 2o)+2Fe 2++ 7 (SO 4 2-or CO 3 2-)+O 2→ 7 (Fe 4 iIfe 2 iII(OH) 12(SO 4or CO 3)+2H 2o)+4H 2o+10Cl -
Patina is the transition compound, and it can only be maintained under low-down oxygen level.It is in conjunction with arsenic be for example also extremely effective aspect heavy metal in conjunction with other micro substance pollutents significantly.In underground water, arsenic is with arsenite (H 2as iIIo 3 -) and/or arsenate (HAs vo 4 2-) the form existence.In the ionic adsorption patina layer of arsenate-OH 2 +group, and obviously can not do like this before itself is oxidized to arsenate with the arsenic of arsenite form.Yet patina usually comprises anion, carbonate CO 3 2-, and evidence suggests that described carbonate ion can be exchanged by arsenite, arsenite is then by the Fe in the patina layer iIIthe catalyzed arsenate that is converted into of content.This can explain the very effective removal of the arsenic existed when using patina.
Due to the galvanic etching of the iron in closed container under subatmospheric oxygen condition, patina effectively maintained and can or be not intended to be exposed to oxygen in any interruption of water supply after more easily recover.
Because the oxygen of the natural horizontal in pending water is because the galvanic etching of iron staff is reduced, microaerophilic iron oxidisability bacterium is mainly the microbial film of gallionella ferruginea, and the growth on iron also is promoted.Described material has proved very useful removing aspect the pollutent micro substance, because it makes the Fe oxide precipitation with the form of ferrihydrite, ferrihydrite is the nanoporous hydrated iron oxyhydroxide mineral that present the large surface-area of hundreds of square metre every gram.Except its high surface-to-volume ratio rate, ferrihydrite also has highdensity local defect, for example dangling bonds and room, and they all give the ability of chemical substance (comprising arsenic) important on many environment of absorption that ferrihydrite is high.
By both, all depend on close to the patina containing the existence at oxygen-anoxic interface of iron-bearing materials and the biomembranous compound action of microaerophilic iron oxidisability bacterium, if do not shielded continuously than galvanic etching and iron-enrichment in case be exposed to the oxygen of atmospheric level, realize in the method more effectively removing the micro substance pollutent from water.Due to this shielding, galvanic etching, produce reaction of oxygen consumption, allows to contribute to produce and maintain required precipitous oxygen gradient at the iron staff near surface.
In principle, sizable surface-area of iron-bearing materials is expected, in order to be provided for the sufficient broad regions of ferrous release, foundation and micro-housing (housing) of having a liking for oxygen iron oxidisability bacterium of patina.On the other hand, when the large cathode area observed with respect to annode area, the erosion rate of the anode of per unit area will be the highest.Therefore balance must be broken.
In the present embodiment, the levels of precision that galvanic etching and iron are discharged in water is regulated by means of potentiometer, and potentiometer is inserted into by the outside by stainless cylinder of steel A and is connected in the electrical connection that the wire of insulation leading-in end C provides.Potentiometer is controlled by electric motor, and electric motor receives according to the signal that enters the flow of the water in tank.In view of the required quality of final tap water, electric motor can also be set to the pollutent of the different concns in pending water is reacted.
The top that water leads to aerator 4 from tank A by outlet E arranges apertured pipe to be received in.By gravity, water passes through described gap and arrives the top of plenum chamber 5 as drop.At them, descend by during the plenum chamber process, droplet collision, on mutual many netted tube element layers that replace with 90 ° of layouts, makes drop be divided into droplet.The formation of drop causes the larger drip gauge area basically with respect to droplet size, makes the oxygen concentration strengthened can occur.The stacking height of tube element layer is adjusted so that initial liquid drop is separated into few 50-60 doubly and preferably 60-80 times when descending by inflation unit, in this case, guarantees the gratifying oxygen saturation up to 95%.Selectively, water can conventional equipment for example splasher, drip matrix, stepwise aerator in or by being blown into air or oxygen, be inflated.
Water drop through inflation is drawn towards collection container 6, sedimentation together with the micro substance pollutent of the iron cpd of oxidation in collection container 6 and common precipitation.The material of sedimentation can be as required by rinsing from collection container and remove gently.In addition, by means of pump 7, water is supplied to sand-bed filter 8, with the further precipitation that realizes iron and micro substance the reduction of guaranteeing the arsenic of coprecipitation, and finally from exporting 9 discharge tap water.Yet in other cases, it will be enough separating in collection container, make and can save sand filtration.
Arsenic in final tap water product and the concentration of other micro substances are by periodic monitoring, and, when increasing to the limit of regulation, potentiometer is transferred to and allows increase galvanic etching and iron to be discharged in water.At its life period, the iron staff erosion that is corroded continuously, make the surface that can be used for Iron Release will reduce when some points.In order to compensate this point and to guarantee the even release of iron, potentiometer is by periodic adjustment.When iron staff finally is consumed, it is replaced by new iron staff.
Embodiment
Equipment according to the present invention is mounted and receives the former water that presents high-caliber arsenic (19 μ g/L).Use is hung the iron staff enter stainless cylinder of steel as iron-bearing materials from the insulation leading-in end, and described stainless cylinder of steel serves as the material with electrode potential more negative than iron.
