Abstract:Chlorine concentration will decrease with the increase of UV dose due to photolysis during the application of medium pressure UV/chlorine advanced oxidation technology to remove micro-pollutants in water, which affects the treatment efficiency of the technology. By measuring the change of chlorine concentration under different medium pressure UV doses, the decomposition laws of chlorine were studied at different chlorine dosage, pH, temperature, humic acid and common anions. The results show that the decomposition of chlorine followed the first-order kinetics, and its decomposition rate constant (kobs) increased with the decrease of initial concentration of chlorine, while it increased with the increase of pH, humic acid concentration and temperature. Within a certain range, kobs presented a linear positive correlation with pH or humic acid concentration. The kobs was doubled when the temperature increased from 15 ℃ to 26 ℃, which was mainly due to the increase of decomposition rate of chlorine itself with the increase of temperature, not due to the increase of chlorine photolysis rate by UV. The main anions Cl?, ${\rm{NO}}_3^ - $, ${\rm{HCO}}_3^ - $, ${\rm{SO}}_4^{2 - }$ in water had little effect on the decomposition rate of chlorine. This study can provide data support and theoretical basis for the design of medium pressure ultraviolet/chlorine water treatment process, especially for the design of chlorine and ultraviolet dosages. Key words:medium pressure UV/ water treatment/ free chlorine/ kinetics.
