Ultraviolet (UV)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are increasingly used for the degradation of micropollutants in water and wastewater. This study reports a novel UVA/chlorine dioxide (ClO) AOP based on the photolysis of ClO using energy-efficient UV radiation sources in the UVA range (e.g., UVA-LEDs). At a ClO dosage of 74 μM (5.0 mg L as ClO) and a UV fluence at 47.5 mJ cm, the UVA/ClO AOP generated a spectrum of reactive species, including chlorine oxide radicals (ClO), chlorine atoms (Cl), hydroxyl radicals (HO), and ozone at a concentration of ∼10, ∼10, ∼10, and ∼10 M, respectively. A kinetic model to simulate the reactive species generation in the UVA/ClO AOP was established, validated against the experimental results, and used to predict the pseudo-first-order rate constants and relative contributions of different reactive species to the degradation of 19 micropollutants in the UVA/ClO AOP. Compared to the well-documented UVC/chlorine AOP, the UVA/ClO AOP produced similar levels of reactive species at similar oxidant dosages but was much less pH-dependent and required much lower energy input, with much lower formation of chloro-organic byproducts and marginal formation of chlorite and chlorate.
基于紫外线(UV)的高级氧化工艺(AOPs)越来越多地用于降解水和废水中的微污染物。本研究报道了一种新型的UVA/二氧化氯(ClO₂)AOP,该工艺基于使用UVA范围内的高能效紫外线辐射源(如UVA发光二极管)对ClO₂进行光解。在ClO₂投加量为74 μM(以ClO₂计为5.0 mg/L)且紫外线通量为47.5 mJ/cm²的条件下,UVA/ClO₂ AOP产生了一系列活性物种,包括氧化氯自由基(ClO₂•)、氯原子(Cl•)、羟基自由基(HO•)和臭氧,其浓度分别约为10⁻¹¹、10⁻¹²、10⁻¹³和10⁻¹⁴ M。建立了一个动力学模型来模拟UVA/ClO₂ AOP中活性物种的生成,通过实验结果进行了验证,并用于预测UVA/ClO₂ AOP中不同活性物种对19种微污染物降解的伪一级速率常数和相对贡献。与文献记载较多的UVC/氯AOP相比,UVA/ClO₂ AOP在相似的氧化剂投加量下产生了相似水平的活性物种,但对pH的依赖性小得多,所需的能量输入低得多,氯代有机副产物的生成量低得多,亚氯酸盐和氯酸盐的生成量微乎其微。
