Sumario:The existing methods for simultaneous treatment of wastewater containing high concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and boron are too cumbersome and require a relatively long treatment time. The traditional oxidation method is easy to cause a large amount of sludge and other secondary pollution. Therefore, in this research, the wastewater was oxidized by the self-synthesized manganese-iron oxide catalytic support. This oxidation and adsorption combined method significantly increased the efficiency of wastewater treatment, reduced the treatment time and the replacement frequency of consumables. The efficiency in degradation of high-concentration COD (25,250 mg/L) was more than 90%, which could be reached within 40 min, while that of boron (500 mg/L) could reach above 95% within 20 min. After optimization of the parameters (daily treatment capacity: 5CMD) was combined to treat high-concentration wastewater containing high concentrations of COD (14,700 mg/L) and boron (486 mg/L), with treatment efficiency approaching 100% within 20 min. As proved by the research results, after being treated by the new manganese-iron oxide catalytic support and activated carbon, the wastewater has reached the emission standard and can be discharged directly. This combined method provides a new way for the treatment of wastewater containing high concentrations of COD and boron.
