[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for purifying water contaminated with organic halogen compounds. [Prior Art] Currently, water is contaminated to some extent with organic halogen compounds, regardless of whether it is tap water or sewage. For example, in water supplies, water is sterilized using active chlorine compounds such as chlorine and hypochlorite. However, in the process, organic substances in the water are chlorinated by these active chlorine compounds, producing organic chlorine compounds such as trihalomethane.
Furthermore, sewage systems are also subject to inflows of trichrene and percrene, which are used in dry cleaning, as well as harmful halogen compounds generated from the incineration of municipal waste. Recent research has revealed that some of these organic halogen compounds are highly carcinogenic, which has become a serious social problem. Such organic halogen compounds in water are currently
Adsorption and removal is done using adsorbents such as activated carbon, but the amount of adsorption is limited and the regeneration process of the adsorbent is complicated, resulting in low removal rates and extremely high processing costs. ing. In the process of researching photochemistry, the present inventors discovered that trihalomethanes in water can be oxidized and decomposed by using ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 200 to 300 nm in combination with hydrogen peroxide, or by irradiating deep ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 200 nm or less. I found it. Although this method is an excellent purification method that can decompose trihalomethane into carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride, it is not an effective purification method for treating large amounts of water such as drinking water or incineration flue gas cleaning water. I can't say that. In addition, while researching the radiochemical reactions of aqueous solutions of various organic compounds, the present inventors found that when OH radicals and hydrated electrons generated by radiolysis of water act on various substances, OH radicals in particular are released from organic compounds. It was discovered that oxidative decomposition of organic compounds is promoted by abstracting hydrogen atoms, and hydrated electrons reductively decompose organic halogen compounds. This radiochemical method can also be applied to purify water containing organic halogen compounds, and has the potential to become a water purification method suitable for the nuclear age, but in order to put this method into practical use, a high-dose radiation source is required. There are issues such as the need for [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently decomposing organic halogen compounds in water into minerals with extremely simple processing. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention comprises a cathode made of lead, copper, or an alloy containing copper as a main component (hereinafter referred to as a specific metal material), and a current is passed between the electrodes to remove organic halogen compounds in water. This invention relates to a method for purifying water contaminated with organic halogen compounds, which is characterized by decomposing organic halogen compounds into minerals. [Operation] The principle of operation of the present invention is currently being studied in detail, but it is clear that the organic halogen compound in water is reductively decomposed and mineralized on the cathode surface, and that the decomposition rate of the organic halogen compound and the types of products are different. Considering that it differs depending on the material of the cathode material,
It is presumed that the specific metal material plays a catalytic role. Furthermore, it is not yet clear why the above-mentioned specific metal materials exhibit excellent decomposition efficiency of organic halogen compounds, but these metal materials have a large adsorption amount of organic halogen compounds and can easily transfer charge to organic halogen compounds. It is thought that this property plays an important role. [Example] In the present invention, the cathode is composed of the above-mentioned specific metal materials, but it is sufficient that these metal materials exist at least on the surface of the cathode, and the entire cathode is not necessarily made of the above-mentioned specific metal materials. There's no need.
Therefore, for example, a plastic plate may be coated with the metal material by plating or pasting metal foil, or a metal oxide or the like may be mixed with the specific metal material powder. It may also be molded. If it is inconvenient for the anode to be eluted into water as metal ions by oxidation, it is preferable to use a material that elutes in a small amount, such as platinum, stainless steel copper, carbon, or the like. The electrode used in the present invention can also be surface-treated by physical or chemical methods such as etching to improve power efficiency. The voltage and amount of current applied between the electrodes are not particularly limited, but are usually 0.5 to 1000 V, preferably 3 to 30 V.
0.1 to 1000 A/m 2 , preferably 1 to 1000 A/m 2 at a voltage of
Preferably it is carried out at a current density of 100 A/m 2 .
Further, the treatment time varies depending on the current density, the concentration of the organic halogen compound, etc., but is usually several seconds to several tens of hours. The purification method of the present invention may be a continuous method in which organic halogen compound-contaminated water is passed through a container such as a cell equipped with an electrode, or it may be a continuous method in which the electrode is immersed in the water to be treated accumulated in a wastewater reservoir or the like. The batch method may also be used. It may also be used in combination with conventionally used activated carbon treatment. According to the method of the present invention, various organic halogen compounds can be decomposed into minerals, but especially harmful chloroform, bromodichloromethane,
Effective for decomposing aliphatic or aromatic halogen compounds such as trichloroethane, trichrene, perchlorene, chlorobenzene, carbon tetrachloride, polychlorinated biphenyl, and pentachlorophenol. These organic halogen compounds are mineralized into harmless compounds by the method of the present invention. for example,
Chloroform is reductively converted to methane and hydrogen chloride, trichlene is converted to ethane and hydrogen chloride, carbon tetrachloride is converted to methane and hydrogen chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane is converted to ethane and hydrogen chloride, and monochlorobenzene is converted to benzene. and hydrogen chloride, and bromodichloromethane is converted to methane and hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide. When using the purification method of the present invention, a decomposition rate of about 70% or more, often in the 90% range, can be obtained, although it varies depending on the type of cathode material, type of organic halogen compound, concentration, current density, reaction time, etc. . Next, the method of the present invention will be explained based on Examples and Comparative Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. Example 1 Electrolysis using SUS-304 stainless steel as the material for the anode (plate area 52cm 2 ) and the metal materials shown in Table 1 as the material for the cathode (plate area 52cm 2 ) separated by a cation exchange membrane. chloroform in the cell
Add a chloroform aqueous solution containing 6mM concentration,
This is energized for 240 minutes in a closed circulation system (current density 5.77
×10 - 4 A/m 2 ), and the decomposition rate of chloroform per 432 coulombs was investigated. The results are shown in Table 1.
