Attapulgite-loaded zero-valent iron repair material and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an attapulgite-loaded zero-valent iron repair material. The attapulgite-loaded zero-valent iron repair material uses attapulgite as a carrier; zero-valent iron is of monodisperse spherical or ellipsoidal morphology; and the average particle size of the zero-valent iron is in a range of 50 to 150 nm. A preparation method for the attapulgite-loaded zero-valent iron repair material comprises the following steps: (1) successively adding a ferric salt or / and a ferrous salt and attapulgite into oxygen-free anoxic water and carrying out stirring under the protection of inert gas so as to obtain mixed liquid; and (2) adding a reducing agent into the mixed liquid and carrying out stirring and solid-liquid separation so as to obtain a solid, i.e., attapulgite-loaded zero-valent iron. The attapulgite-loaded zero-valent iron prepared in the invention can make full use of interlayer and surface space of attapulgite, has better dispersibility and stability and more uniform particle size distribution, is not prone to particle agglomeration and autoxidation and presents better suspensibility and stability in an aqueous solution; and when applied to pollutants, the attapulgite-loaded zero-valent iron has longer reaction time and better adsorption capability.

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, zero-valent iron still has many limitations in practical applications. For example, the large specific surface area of ​​zero-valent iron is easy to cause particle agglomeration reaction, and it is difficult to maintain a stable suspension state, which is not conducive to its full contact reaction with environmental pollutants, which is easy to cause The problem of low efficiency; when zero-valent iron is easily oxidized or even spontaneously combusted when exposed to the air, the surface oxide layer produced will reduce the activity of zero-valent iron particles and affect the treatment effect on pollutants
