溴酸根在颗粒活性炭上的还原

小试研究了溶液中溴酸根在颗粒活性炭上还原与溴离子生成的过程,考察pH、离子强度、温度和初始浓度对该过程的影响.结果表明,活性炭对溴酸根的去除性能与表面碱性官能团有一定相关性.其它阴离子对吸附/还原过程有阻碍作用,实验中影响顺序为ＮＯ^-₃>SO^２－₄ > Cl^-.溴酸根的吸附与溴离子的生成可分别用拟二级速率方程和粒子内扩散模型进行模拟,绝大部分相关系数在0.97以上.低pH和低离子强度有利于溴酸根的吸附与还原.15～42℃范围内吸附与还原速率随温度提高先降低后升高.实验中活性炭对溴酸根的最大吸附容量可达到769.23 μmol/g（98.4 mg/g）,但反应较慢且易受干扰.推测活性炭表面微孔部分对溴酸根的吸附也受到溴离子释放的阻碍.

Bromate Reduction by Granular Activated Carbon

Batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the kinetics of reducing bromate to bromide by granular activated carbon. Solution conditions were studied in details, such as pH, ionic strength, temperature and initial bromate concentration. The results showed the removal capacity of GAC was positively relevant to surface basic functional groups. The whole process was inhibited by other anions in solution and the inhibition sequence was NO3(-) > SO4(2-) > Cl(-). Pseudo-second order rate equation and intraparticle diffusion model were applied to fit the process of bromate reduction and the process of bromide formation, respectively, with regression coefficients higher than 0.97 at most cases. Bromate removal was found to be favored under conditions with low pH value and low ionic strength. Both sorption rate of bromate and formation rate of bromide were decreased, and then increased along with the increase of temperature during 15-42 degree C. In this experiment, the maximum adsorption capacity of GAC is 769.23 micromol/g (98.4 mg/g), whereas the sorption process is slow and easily influenced. It is concluded that the sorption of bromate by the micropore portion of GAC was influenced by the release of bromide.
