Abstract
To improve the removal efficiency of dissolved organic matter in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent, electro-hybrid ozonation-coagulation (E-HOC) is proposed and the treatment characteristics and removal mechanism for WWTP effluent and ibuprofen (IBP) are investigated. The E-HOC process has a better removal effect on dissolved organic matter in WWTP effluent, achieving 46.4%, 20.0%, 19.4%, 36.1%, and 49.7% higher removal than EC, ozonation, pre-ozonation-EC, electrocoagulation-ozonation, and chemical coagulation, respectively. To determine the mechanism of the E-HOC process, quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) were conducted, which confirmed that metal coagulants can be used as a catalyst to effectively increase the generation of the hydroxyl radical (•OH). Synergistic effects between ozone and the coagulants (SOC) were also found to be involved. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) illustrated that the surface hydroxyl groups of the coagulant (hydrolyzed species produced by Al anode electrolysis) were the active sites for the generation of •OH in the SOC reaction. Based on a kinetics analysis of organic matter removal in the E-HOC system, SOC effects and ozonation played dominant roles in the E-HOC process. Additionally, the SOC created a new pathway for •OH formation.
