Abstract:In this paper, the adsorption efficiency of the low bromide in the drinking water based on six kinds of activated carbon, Xingguang K02 activated carbon, Xingguang K04 activated carbon and TAC (Taixi Activated Carbon) activated carbon was investigated, and TAC with the best adsorption effect was selected. The effects of different activation modes, different adsorption time and PH values in drinking water on the efficiency of low bromide (7.50 μg/L) in the drinking water adsorbed by TAC (Taixi Activated Carbon) were discussed. Two activation methods, soaked by distilled water and by diluted hydrochloric acid, were used in the experiment. The pH values of drinking water were adjusted to 6.00, 7.00 and 7.68 levels and bromide was detected at different times. The efficiencies of bromide adsorbed by TAC were different under different conditions. It was demonstrated that when the pH of drinking water was adjusted to 6.00, TAC soaking by dilute hydrochloric acid was used as the activation method, the best effect of TAC adsorption bromide was 85.35 % in two hours, and the content of bromide is 1.10 μg/L. Even in the subsequent ozone sterilization phase, the bromide was all oxidized to bromate, and the final content of bromate was within 5 μg/L, which is far less than the prescribed limit of bromate in GB 5749-2006 and GB 8537-2018(10 μg/L). At the same time,TAC has little influence on the major elements of drinking water, such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, trace elements strontium and metasilicic acid (less than 10%).Therefore, in actual production, the pH value in drinking water can be first adjusted to 6.00, and the low bromine ion in drinking water could be removed by TAC pretreated with hydrochloric acid solution.
