    Abstract:

    The secondary effluent of the chemical industry park contains a variety of toxic pollutants, which still poses a great risk to the ecological environment. In this study, the microbubble O3/H2O2 process was established for advanced treatment of secondary effluent from a chemical industry park, and the operation parameters, pollutant degradation mechanism and toxicity evaluation were studied. The best operating parameters were pH 7.3, ozone dosage 60 mg/L, H2O2 initial dosage 114 mg/L, reaction time 15 min. Under this condition, the removal rates of COD and TOC were 47.41% and 46.61% respectively in microbubble O3/H2O2 process. The microbubble O3 can significantly improve the ozone utilization efficiency and shorten the reaction time. Compared with ordinary O3 aeration, the ozone utilization rate increased by 10% and the reaction time shortened by two thirds. The removal process of organics by microbubble O3/H2O2 process followed the apparent second-order reaction kinetics; the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology proved that hydroxyl radical (·OH) played a role in the degradation of organic substances, H2O2 promoted the formation of ·OH and microbubbles aeration promoted the production of more ·OH by O3/H2O2 through the process. Dissolved organic matter had the tendency of transforming macromolecular substances into small molecular substances in the process of advanced treatment. H2O2 can enhance the removal ability of ozone to hydrophobic neutral components and change the degradation path of ozone to pollutants. Compared with 100% luminescence inhibition rate of microbubble O3, the luminescence inhibition rate of microbubble O3/H2O2 was less than 20%, suggesting that the addition of H2O2 can effectively inhibit the increase of acute toxicity.
