    Abstract:

    To address the treatment dilemma of HMX production wastewater characterized by complex components, high toxicity and poor biodegradability, a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst Fe2.5Mo/AC loaded with Fe/Mo bimetals was prepared via the impregnation-high temperature carbonization method using chitosan-modified activated carbon (AC) as the carrier. The amino functional groups of chitosan were adopted to anchor metal active sites and inhibit the agglomeration of active components; meanwhile, Mo was introduced to construct a Fe-Mo bimetallic synergistic system, which accelerated the Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ redox cycle and improved the generation efficiency of ·OH. Results showed that a stable Fe-Mo-O/N composite structure was formed inside the catalyst with uniformly distributed active sites. Batch experimental results indicated that the catalytic system was applicable to a wide pH range of 2.09-7.15. The removal efficiencies of HMX and COD reached 83.1% and 44.5%, respectively, and the B/C ratio of wastewater was increased from 0.011 to 0.367, presenting an obvious improvement in biodegradability. The optimal reaction conditions were determined as catalyst dosage of 5 g·L-1, H2O2 concentration of 300 mM and reaction temperature of 25 ℃. Radical quenching experiments combined with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests verified that ·OH, 1O2 and ·O2- jointly participated in the degradation of HMX. After seven cycles of reuse, the HMX removal rate remained above 70% with extremely low metal leaching capacity. During 14 h continuous operation in the fixed bed reactor, the removal efficiencies of COD and HMX were stably maintained above 70% and 60%, respectively.
