The chemical oxidation method has been used for the emergency treatment of formaldehyde polluted drinking water sources. The removing effects of five kinds of oxidants,including H_2O_2,NaClO,Ca(ClO)_2,KMnO_4 and K_2FeO_4,on formaldehyde wastewater,under the following reaction conditions,such as dosages with typical concentrations, pH value,reaction time,temperature,initial concentration of pollutants,etc.,as well as the optimal process conditions, have been investigated. The results show that H_2O_2,NaClO and Ca(ClO)_2 can be used as the best c...
