Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of heavy metal removal, and in particular relates to a method for electrochemically generating in-situ Schreiberite and simultaneously removing Sb(III) and Sb(V). Background Art

[0002] Antimony (Sb) is a toxic metalloid pollutant from Group 15 of the periodic table. It is widely used in the manufacturing of textiles, flame retardants for plastics, ceramics, glassware, brake pads, and electronic components. Antimony is a metalloid that exists naturally in the forms of Sb(III) and Sb(V). my country has the world's largest antimony reserves and is the world's largest producer of antimony and its compounds. During the mining and smelting process, the dissolution, weathering, and oxidation of sulfur- and antimony-containing minerals generate large amounts of acid mine drainage (AMD) containing Sb(III) and its oxidation product, Sb(V).

[0003] In the existing technology, the antimony pollution treatment technology mainly relies on the adsorption method. However, the adsorption method has the problems of complex preparation method of adsorption materials, long hydrothermal reaction time, high cost, harsh reaction conditions, etc., which limit its application in the in-situ remediation of antimony pollution in AMD. Schmidt mineral is a secondary iron mineral naturally generated in AMD, with a large specific surface area and exchangeable sulfate, showing a strong fixation ability for oxygen-containing anions including Sb. In nature, light and microbial Fe(II) oxidation can promote the formation of Schmidt mineral, and fix pollutants such as Sb in the mineral structure or on the surface through co-precipitation and adsorption during the mineralization process, thereby reducing the mobility of pollutants. However, Schmidt mineral naturally formed in the AMD environment has problems such as low mineralization efficiency, resulting in incomplete removal of pollutants in the overlying water. In order to better utilize the advantage of Schmidt mineral being suitable for acidic environment, researchers have artificially synthesized Schmidt mineral as an adsorbent to treat acidic mine wastewater. Although it can play a considerable role in removing Sb, the addition of exogenous Schmidt mineral introduces new Fe and SO4 into the environment. 2- The pollution sources increase the difficulty of comprehensive environmental management in mining areas.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN202010142704.9 discloses a method for the rapid electrochemical deposition synthesis of Schroeder mineral. The synthesized Schroeder mineral has high specific surface area, uniform particle size, a typical sea urchin spherical microstructure, and abundant surface whiskers. However, this method solves the technical problem of obtaining Schroeder mineral with a high degree of crystallinity. The method is not very effective in fixing Sb during the mineralization process, resulting in a low removal rate.

[0005] In summary, utilizing the substances contained in AMD to increase the mineralization rate of Schroeder's mineralization can improve the Sb removal efficiency of overlying water while avoiding the introduction of new pollution sources. Therefore, developing a method for the controlled synthesis of Schroeder's mineralization is of great significance for the in-situ treatment of antimony contamination in acidic wastewater.
