Embodiment 1

[0023] Put 5.0 g of carbon nanotubes in a muffle furnace and burn at 300-350 °C for 1-1.5 h to remove amorphous carbon and graphite fragments attached to the surface of carbon nanotubes; after cooling to room temperature, add to 250 mL of 70 wt. % sodium hypochlorite solution, ultrasonically dispersed for 0.5-1 h, reflux reaction in a constant temperature water bath at 85 °C for 4-6 h to remove metal impurities contained in the carbon nanotubes, and finally washed to neutrality and vacuum-dried. Weigh 1.0 g of purified carbon nanotubes in a certain volume of 65.0-68.0% concentrated nitric acid solution, ultrasonically disperse for 0.5-1 h, then reflux in an oil bath at 110-140 °C for 8-12 h, wash with water and dry.

[0024] Disperse 100 mg of pretreated carbon nanotubes (denoted as MWNT-0) to 80 mL of a certain concentration (2 mmol L -1 , 4 mmol·L -1 , 10 mmol·L -1 ) in an aqueous solution of zirconium oxychloride, ultrasonically dispersed for 0.5-1 h, hydrothermally react...

Embodiment 2

[0027] The zirconia-modified carbon nanotube MWNT-Zr-10 (weighted average particle size: 4.91 nm) synthesized in Example 1 was used as an adsorbent to treat phosphate-containing water. Static adsorption was carried out in a 40 mL EPA bottle with tetrafluoroethylene gasket, the mass ratio of adsorbent to phosphate-containing water was 1:2000, pH=6.0±0.2, and the initial concentration of phosphate was 64.5 mg L -1 , the water does not contain NaCl and other coexisting anions, the adsorption temperature is 25°C, and the adsorption time is 24 h. After adsorption equilibrium, filter through a 45 μL aqueous filter head, and the phosphate concentration in the filtrate is measured at 700 nm by molybdenum blue colorimetry. The measured adsorption amount of phosphate (calculated as phosphorus, the same below) is 17.60 mg·g-1 , the adsorption capacity of phosphate after standardization by zirconia is 38.60 mg·g -1 ZrO 2 .

Embodiment 3

[0029] The operating conditions for adsorption removal are the same as in Example 2, the adsorbent is MWNT-Zr-4, its weighted average particle size is 3.74nm, and the phosphate adsorption capacity is 13.84 mg g -1 , the adsorption capacity of phosphate after standardization by zirconia is 54.06 mg·g -1 ZrO 2 .

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for adsorbing and removing phosphates from a water body by using zirconium oxide modified carbon nano tubes. The method comprises the following steps of: ultrasonically dispersing the pretreated carbon nano tubes into a zirconium oxide solution; modifying the carbon nano tubes with zirconium oxide by using a hydrothermal synthesis method to prepare the zirconium oxide modified carbon nano tubes; adding the zirconium oxide modified carbon nano tubes into a phosphorus water body, so as to adsorb and remove the phosphates from the water body. According to the method, the zirconium oxide modified carbon nano tube is used as an adsorbers for the first time and is applied to treatment of the phosphorus water body. The adsorber has a good effect of removing phosphates and is acid and alkali resistant; the adsorption time is short; the treatment condition is mild; and the treatment efficiency is high. The method creates good economical and environmental benefits when used for removing phosphates from a water body.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of synthesis of inorganic materials and water treatment, and relates to a method for removing phosphate in water by an adsorption method, in particular to a method for removing phosphate in water by using zirconia-modified carbon nanotubes as an adsorbent . Background technique [0002] Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient element required for the growth of aquatic organisms. When its content is excessive, it will cause eutrophication of water bodies. The main sources of phosphorus in water bodies are divided into point sources and non-point sources, among which point sources are mainly domestic sewage and industrial wastewater discharged in a concentrated manner, and urban rainfall runoff discharged through drainage pipes, etc.; non-point sources are mainly urban garbage dumped illegally and industrial waste water. Waste, farmland surface runoff, manure and flushing water discharged from livestock and poultry...
