研究目的
Investigating the e?cient removal of hydrogen sul?de from water using a combination of UVC light and dissolved oxygen, focusing on complete oxidation to sulfate without producing elemental sulfur.
研究成果
The combination of UVC light and oxygen is highly effective for oxidizing hydrogen sul?de to sulfate in water, achieving up to 90% conversion in minutes with quantum efficiencies up to 70%. This method avoids the formation of elemental sulfur, eliminating the need for post-treatment filtration. The mechanism involves light absorption by HS- ions, leading to polysul?de formation and complete oxidation. This approach offers a chemical-free, efficient alternative for H2S removal in well-water treatment, with potential applications in improving water quality for agriculture and other uses.
研究不足
The process requires transparent water for effective light penetration; high turbidity or colored water may reduce efficiency. Oxygen concentration must be sufficient, especially for high H2S levels, necessitating bubbling in low-oxygen water. pH affects reaction rate, with optimal performance around neutral to basic conditions. The method may not be cost-effective for very large-scale applications without further optimization of light sources and oxygen supply.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A continuous ?ow aluminum reactor with UVC lamps was used to study the oxidation of H2S in water. The design included quartz sleeves for lamp placement and ba?es for homogeneous mixing. The method combined UVC light (254 nm) with dissolved oxygen for oxidation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Laboratory tests used H2S-enriched tap water (0-20 mg/L H2S) and natural well water from Tzofar220 well (12-20 mg/L H2S, pH 6.8-7.0, 38°C, low dissolved oxygen). Samples were prepared using sodium sul?de nonahydrate for H2S enrichment.
