Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention belongs to the technical field of environmental protection and in particular relates to a method of emergency remediating halogenated organic polluted site(s). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Much of the pollution sites in China are within urban areas, there are also a small portion of contaminated sites within ecologically sensitive areas. Since industry is the most major cause of the occurrence of contaminated sites, heavy pollution industry sites are the most dense areas of pollution sites or areas, such as petrochemicals, manufacturing, printing, landfills, filling stations, metal slag stockpiles, waste reclaiming sites and electronic waste disposal sites. Untimely remediation or treatment of pollution sites, it will potentially have a great impact on people's work, life, and will hinder the sustainable development of society, therefore pollution remediation is imminent. Main reason for formation of organic polluted sites is ability of organic matter polluting soil to enter soil of sites and generate corresponding pollution, and this part of organic pollutants are mainly halogenated organic pollutants. Haloorganics are often widely used in organic synthesis as starting materials, intermediates, solvents, etc., and are widely used in human production and life. Halogenated organic pollutants mainly include perfluorinated or partially fluorinated compounds (PFCs), chlorinated organics (COCs) and brominated organics (BOCs). Chlorophenol and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid pollutants are widely occurring, representative, recalcitrant organic pollutants, characteristics of strong persistence, remarkable biodegradability, bioaccumulation, high toxicity and ability to migrate over long distances. Once contaminated by the organic pollutants, it is very difficult to treat, and the targeted development of emergency remediation technology appears more urgent. Remediation techniques for traditionally contaminated sites are not mature and are generally performed by replacement, digging out contaminated soil, replacing it with clean soil, and it is not fundamental remediation. Currently, an emerging effective soil halo pollution technology is the electrokinetic remediation, which drives the enrichment of contaminants to the electrode region by combined electrochemical and electrokinetic actions (electroosmosis, electromigration and electrophoresis, etc.), so as to being treated or separated. It is suitable for remediating soil contaminated by halogenated organic, such as pentachlorophenol, and has the advantages of faster and lower cost of electric remediation, and is particularly suitable for remediation of a small range of viscous, diverse heavy metal contaminated soils and soluble organic contaminated soils. However, there are also drawbacks, such as requiring chemical solubilization for insoluble organic contaminants and being prone to secondary contamination. For above reasons, there is great need to seek new methods for efficient and large-scale removal of halogenated organic contaminants. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to overcome the problems described above, the present inventors have conducted a sharp investigation into methods for removing halogenated organic pollutants from halogenated organic polluted sites, and provide a method for emergency remediating halogenated organic contaminated sites, by constructing a microelectric field driven bioelectrochemical system of engineering bacteria and auxiliary agents.

Said copper zinc biochar of the copper zinc biochar electrode is produced by enriching copper, zinc in situ in watercanna, and then pyrolysizing, and efficient improvement of electron transfer capability. By staged replacement of electrodes, showering engineering bacteria and auxiliaries on site, the sintered iron-rich biochar produced by enriching iron in iris, as an aid mediates extracellular electron transport of engineering bacteria and promotes the process of reducing dehalogenation of persistent halogenated organic pollutants.
