In this study, FeO magnetic nanoparticles (FeO MNPs) were assessed for their ability to enhance the activity of persulfate (PS). Various controlling factors including PS dosages, initial pH, water-soil ratio, ratio of Fe, and FeO MNPs to PS were considered in both the Fe/PS system and the FeO MNPs/PS system. Results showed that the FeO MNP-activated PS system exhibited high processing efficiency owing to the gradual release of Fe. This process occurred in a wide pH range (5-11), attributed to the synergistic action of sulfate radicals (SO·) and hydroxyl radicals (OH·) under alkaline conditions, effectively mitigating soil acidification. The ratio of FeO MNPs to PS and water-soil ratio significantly influenced the degradation rate with the highest petroleum hydrocarbon degradation rate exceeding 80% (82.31%). This rate was 3.1% higher than that achieved by the Fe/PS system under specific conditions: PS dosage of 0.05 mol/L, FeO MNPs to PS ratio of 1:10, water-soil ratio of 2:1, and initial pH of 11. Meanwhile, oxidant consumption in the FeO MNPs/PS system was halved compared to the Fe/PS system due to the slow release of Fe and less ineffective consumption of SO·. Mechanistically, the possible degradation process was divided into three parts: the initial chain reaction, the proliferating chain reaction, and the terminating chain reaction. The introduction of FeO MNPs accelerated the degradation rate of pentadecane, heneicosane, eicosane, tritetracontane, and 9-methylnonadecane.
在本研究中,对FeO磁性纳米颗粒(FeO MNPs)增强过硫酸盐(PS)活性的能力进行了评估。在Fe/PS体系和FeO MNPs/PS体系中,考虑了各种控制因素,包括PS剂量、初始pH值、水土比、Fe以及FeO MNPs与PS的比例。结果表明,由于Fe的逐渐释放,FeO MNP活化的PS体系表现出较高的处理效率。该过程在较宽的pH范围(5-11)内发生,这归因于碱性条件下硫酸根自由基(SO·)和羟基自由基(OH·)的协同作用,有效减轻了土壤酸化。FeO MNPs与PS的比例以及水土比对降解速率有显著影响,最高石油烃降解率超过80%(82.31%)。该速率比在特定条件下Fe/PS体系的降解率高3.1%:PS剂量为0.05 mol/L,FeO MNPs与PS的比例为1:10,水土比为2:1,初始pH值为11。同时,由于Fe的缓慢释放以及SO·的无效消耗较少,FeO MNPs/PS体系中的氧化剂消耗量相比Fe/PS体系减半。从机理上讲,可能的降解过程分为三个部分:初始链反应、增殖链反应和终止链反应。FeO MNPs的引入加速了十五烷、二十一烷、二十烷、三十四烷和9-甲基十九烷的降解速率。
