The invention belongs to the technical field of
raffinate acid purification, relates to an extraction agent for
raffinate acid purification and a preparation method thereof, and has the advantages that the composite extraction agent is synthesized by taking sulfonated
dopamine,
mesoporous silica, a hydroximic acid compound,
glutaraldehyde and the like as raw materials. The
mesoporous silica is used as a high-performance carrier, and a 2-5nm mesoporous structure of the
mesoporous silica provides abundant active sites and
mass transfer channels; based on the carrier, a
sulfonic acid group is introduced into
dopamine molecules through sulfonation modification, the material is endowed with excellent
ion exchange performance, and a stable complex is formed by
grafting a
functional monomer containing a hydroximido group and utilizing the bidentate
chelation of the hydroximido group and heavy
metal ions; finally,
glutaraldehyde is added to serve as a cross-linking agent, a three-dimensional
network structure is constructed through cross-linking, the structure can fix
sulfonic acid groups and hydroximido groups,
metal ion complexing sites can be further increased, the complexing capacity is enhanced, and finally synchronous and efficient extraction of the acid and the heavy
metal ions in the
raffinate acid is achieved.
