PG - 10279-10288 LID - 10.1021/acs.est.0c00826 [doi] AB - Dissolved silicate is an important background constituent of natural waters, but there is little clarity regarding the effect of silicate on the oxidizing capability of permanganate (Mn(VII)) and on its efficiency for remediation applications. In the present study, we found that dissolved silicate, metasilicate or disilicate (DS), could significantly promote the oxidation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) by Mn(VII), and the extent of the promoting effect was even more evident than that of pyrophosphate (PP). The experiments showed that, unlike PP, DS was not capable of coordinating with Mn(III) ions, and the promoting effect of DS was not due to the oxidizing capability of complexed Mn(III). Instead, DS ions, as a weak base, could combine with the hydroxyl groups of MnO(2) via hydrogen bonding to limit the growth of colloidal MnO(2) particles. The DS-stabilized colloidal MnO(2) particles, with hydrodynamic diameters less than 100 nm, could act as catalysts to enhance the oxidation of 2,4-DCP by Mn(VII). The best promoting effect of DS on the performance of Mn(VII) oxidant was achieved at the initial solution pH of 7, and the coexisting bicarbonate ions further improved the oxidation of 2,4-DCP in the Mn(VII)/DS system. Sand column experiments showed that the combined use of Mn(VII) and DS additive could mitigate the problem of permeability reduction of sand associated with the retention of MnO(2) particles. This study not only deepens our understanding on the role of dissolved silicate in a Mn(VII) oxidation process but also provides an effective and green method to enhance the oxidizing capacity of Mn(VII)-based treatment systems.
