Abstract
In view of the circulation cooling water (CCW) quality for refining and petrochemical enterprises, distillates obtained from shale gas produced water after alkali precipitation, filtration and multi-effect evaporation required further purification to remove NH3-N and COD. Illumination, adsorption, photocatalysis after adsorption equilibrium (AP) and integration of adsorption and photocatalysis (IOAP) were carried out to optimize the distillates treatment. AP and IOAP treatments were feasible for the simultaneous removal of NH3-N and COD from the target distillate, while IOAP treatment had much better adaptability and practicability due to its economic cost and easy operation. In IOAP, the removal rate of COD and NH3-N was high up to 59.0% and 88.9%, respectively, under Xenon lamp illumination (25 A) for 60 min with 10 g/L zeolite. The residual concentration of COD and NH3-N were 73.9 mg/L and 23.0 mg/L, respectively, which could well meet the CCW quality. Furthermore, the results of zeolites characterization (SEM-EDX, BET and FTIR) and kinetics analysis showed that the removal of COD in IOAP process mainly depended on the effect of photocatalysis excited by zeolite, while the removal of NH3-N was in virtue of the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and adsorption.
