Description
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

1. Field of Invention


The present invention relates to a water treatment agent which removes contaminant through oxidation process.


2. Description of Related Arts


With rapid industrial and agriculture development, a large amount of toxic and hazardous organic pollutants which are difficult to degrade are discharged into the water system, thus causing serious pollution problems to the surface water source and the groundwater source and continuous deterioration of water quality. At present, chemical oxidants such as chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and potassium permanganate are utilized to remove organic pollutants in water through oxidation process. Ozone has high oxidation ability and high adaptability to water quality, but the investment cost and the operation cost are very high and the formation of bromate which is carcinogenic is problematic. Although hydrogen peroxide does not have high oxidation property by itself, hydroxyl radicals of strong oxidation property will be formed by reaction with ferrous ion under acid conditions. The resulting hydroxyl radical has very strong oxidation ability but the pH value of water subject to treatment has to be monitored and adjusted continuously during the reaction process, thus the process is too complicated and difficult to control. Chlorine dioxide has a very strong disinfection capability. However, the use of chlorine dioxide will lead to the formation of byproduct chlorite through reaction with organic substances in which chlorite has damaging effect to red blood cell and therefore the use of chlorine dioxide has safety hazards issues. Chlorine has certain level of oxidation capability in treating organic substances and has been used in pre-oxidation for water treatment for a long period of time. However, a series of halogenated by-products, which is hazardous to health, are formed through reactions between chlorine and different organic contaminants in water. Accordingly, the use of chlorine in pre-oxidation process of water treatment is restricted. Potassium permanganate has a relatively strong oxidizing ability on the removal of organic pollutants in water and does not produce toxic and hazardous by-products, however, organic substances have very high level of and therefore only organic substances with unsaturated functional group, such as olefin and phenolic compounds, can be oxidized and removed. The toxic and hazardous pollutants which is difficult to degrade has a very low reaction activity with potassium permanganate and therefore the removal rate is not high. Accordingly, further research and development on a water treatment agent which has strong oxidation capability and no production of toxic and hazardous by-products is required.


SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide water treatment agent for removing contaminants through oxidation with highly active manganese (V) intermediate which solves the problems of low oxidation ability and production of toxic and hazardous by-products of existing chemicals (such as chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and potassium permanganate) used in water treatment.


The water treatment agent for removing contaminants through oxidation with highly active manganese (V) intermediate according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of bivalent manganese ions, ligand and persulfate, wherein a molar ratio of the bivalent manganese ions, the ligand, and the persulfate is 1:(1-50):(1-1000). The bivalent manganese ions is obtained from at least one of the group consisting of manganese chloride, manganese sulfate and manganese nitrate.


The water treatment agent for removing contaminants through oxidation with highly active manganese (V) intermediate according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of permanganate, ligand and persulfate, wherein a molar ratio of the permanganate, the ligand, and the persulfate is 1:(1-50):(1-1000). The permanganate is potassium permanganate and/or sodium permanganate.


The water treatment agent for removing contaminants through oxidation with highly active manganese (V) intermediate according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of manganese dioxide, ligand and persulfate, wherein a molar ratio of the manganese dioxide, the ligand, and the persulfate is 1:(1-50):(1-1000).


In the water treatment agent for removing contaminants through oxidation with highly active manganese (V) intermediate according to the first, the second and the third preferred embodiment of the present invention, the persulfate is peroxomonosulfate (MHSO5, M=K, Na or NH4) and/or peroxodisulfate (A2S2O8, A=K, Na or NH4); the ligand is inorganic ligand, low molecular weight carboxylic acid, amino acid, aminoxatyl ligand, high molecular weight carboxylic acid or organic phosphonic acid.


ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECT

In the presence of ligand, the rapid and in situ reaction between bivalent manganese ions, permanganate or manganese dioxide and persulfate can result in the producing of highly active manganese (V) intermediate. The highly active manganese (V) intermediate produced from in situ reaction has strong oxidizing activity which is capable of removing the organic pollutants in water at a faster rate while no toxic and harmful by-products are produced.


The principle of highly active manganese (V) intermediate production is explained by using bivalent manganese ions, ligand and peroxomonosulfate as the example of illustration as follows:


In the presence of ligand (Ligand, L), peroxomonosulfate (HSO5) is catalyzed by Mn(II) to produce trivalent manganese (Mn(III)L) and sulfate radical (SO4), which is shown in Reaction (1); then the Mn(III)L from Reaction (I) reacts with peroxomonosulfate (HSO5) in which two-electron transfer process in oxygen is occurred, then highly active manganese (V) intermediate (Mn(V)L) and sulfate (SO4) are produced, which is shown in Reaction (2). The Mn(V)L can be reduced to Mn(III)L in the process of oxidation and degradation of organic substances, then the Mn(III)L can catalyze the peroxomonosulfate (HSO5) to produce Mn(V)L and SO4 and the reaction can be carried out continuously.





Mn(II)+HSO5+L→Mn(III)L+SO4  Reaction (1)





Mn(III)L+HSO5→Mn(V)L+SO42−  Reaction (2)
