    Abstract
  • In order to study the effect and its mechanism of phosphate removal by micron zero-valent iron (mZVI), some important water chemistry parameters which affected the removal efficiency of phosphate were investigated firstly. Then, the phosphate removal efficiency by mZVI and the dynamics distribution of phosphate in the corrosion products of mZVI including magnetic iron oxide and suspended iron oxide were studied, and the changes of physical and chemical parameters (pH, DO, ORP) during the reaction process were monitored and the reaction process in the system further analyzed. Finally, the reaction products were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and other characterization methods. The results showed that lower pH could significantly increase the reactivity of mZVI and accelerate the removal of phosphate. The increase of ionic intensity could accelerate the reaction rate of mZVI. AsO 4 3 - and SiO 3 2 - had a significantly inhibitory effect on the phosphate removal, while NO 3 - and CO 3 2 - were the opposite and SO 4 2 - had little effect on it. The content of the removed phosphate in the magnetic solid was equivalent to that in the suspended solid. SEM analysis of the reaction product showed that the morphology of the solid surface under the phosphate and non-phosphate conditions was different. XPS analysis indicated that Fe2+ and Fe3+ were mainly produced on the phosphate removal by mZVI. The 1,10-phenanthroline masking experiment evidenced that the combination of phosphate and Fe2+was the main way to remove phosphate by mZVI. The XRD results showed that phosphate precipitated with Fe2+ as H2FeP2O7, which proved that precipitation existed during phosphate removal by mZVI.
