The application discloses low-cost sulfidized nano zero-valent iron synthesized by using
pyrite as
raw material and application thereof. The low-cost sulfidized nano zero-valent iron is obtained by using cheap
pyrite powder as
raw material, adding a small amount of
anhydrous FeCl3, and through ball milling,
drying and
hydrogen reduction. The
pyrite powder to which a small amount of
anhydrous FeCl3 is added is ball milled by using zirconia ball milling beads which are easy to clean but not easy to be polluted, and then the sulfidized nano zero-valent iron is prepared after
drying and reduction. By adjusting parameters such as ball
powder ratio, FeCl3 addition amount, heating rate and
holding time, the low-cost sulfidized nano zero-valent iron with a particle size of 200-300 nm, zero-valent
iron content accounting for more than 90% of total
iron content and preparation cost being 11% of that of a laboratory liquid-
phase synthesis method is prepared. The material can effectively degrade
trichloroethylene (TCE) and
florfenicol (FF), has a small
hydrogen production amount and a
high electron efficiency. The preparation method is simple and easy to operate, has a low cost and has a large-scale production prospect, the degradation performance of pollutants is close to that of the laboratory-prepared sulfidized nano zero-valent iron, and far exceeds that of nano zero-valent iron, and therefore the material has a prospect of being applied to actual
groundwater pollution remediation.
