  • Patent number: 11850664
    Abstract: A silicified modified zero-valent iron, whose surface layer is a silicon-containing oxide layer formed by silicate, which is obtained by the following method: dissolved silicate and micron iron powder are used as raw materials and mixed in proportion, and ball milling under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain the silicified modified zero-valent iron. The invention also discloses the application of silicified modified zero-valent iron in repairing polluted water bodies. The invention uses green silicate as silicon source to carry out surface silicification modification of micron zero-valent iron, which has simple operation, low cost and is convenient for large-scale production. Moreover, the prepared silicified zero-valent iron has good dispersibility, high reduction activity and strong recycling performance, and can be used for the treatment of various polluted water bodies and soil.

  • Patent number: 11530145
    Abstract: The disclosure is a method for recovering groundwater contaminated with organic phenols. The method includes the step of injecting a remediation agent into the groundwater extracted from the stratum to be rehabilitated or ex-situ extracted, followed by the step of injecting manganese-based oxidant. By adding a suitable proportion of soluble silicon to the water to be treated as a remediation agent, the efficiency of manganese-based oxidant in the treatment of phenolic pollutants is enhanced based on interface properties and stability of various manganese oxides in the regulating and recovering process. The method for recovering groundwater contaminated with organic phenols provided by the disclosure has a simple process and is convenient to operate, the adopted chemicals are inexpensive and easy to obtain, cause little corrosion to the injection equipment, and has a wide range of applications in practice. The adopted oxidant will not produce halogenated toxic by-products during the treatment process.
