The invention relates to a method for treating commercial
iron powder by
liquid oxygen at low temperature for enhancing
pollutant reductive removal ability. Because the commercial
iron powder is easily oxidized in the preparation and storage process, one layer of
iron oxide with nanometer thickness covers the surface, and then the reduction ability is greatly decreased. The method aims at solving the problem of poor activity of the commercial
iron powder by using the simple and easy method. The method comprises the following step of chilling the commercial iron
powder, so as to obtain the commercial iron
powder of which the
pollutant reductive removal ability is enhanced. The
oxide layer at the surface of the iron
powder is cracked by the chilling step, and the active zero-valence
ion at the interior (bottom layer) is exposed. Compared with other chemical or physical methods, the method for treating the commercial iron powder by the
liquid nitrogen at low temperature has the characteristics that the method is simple, the implementing is easy, the efficiency is high, the
pollution is avoided, the environment-friendly property is realized, the problem of
low activity of
pollutant in the existing commercial iron powder treatment process is solved, and the method is expected to be widely applied into the environment
pollution control aspect.
