Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heavy metal complex wastewater treatment technology, specifically relating to a device and method for simultaneous recovery of heavy metals based on photo-Fenton cleavage and heavy metal recovery using iron-modified resin. Background Technology
[0002] Complexed heavy metals are a class of pollutants that are difficult to treat in industrial wastewater. They are mainly formed by metal ions and various chelating ligands. The functional groups of these ligands (such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, and thiol groups) form coordinate bonds with the metal ions through electron donor atoms (such as N, S, and O). For example, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is an organic chelating ligand with a strong ability to chelate heavy metals. Due to the strong coordination between heavy metals and organic ligands, traditional heavy metal wastewater treatment technologies (such as chemical precipitation, ion exchange, coprecipitation adsorption, electrolysis, redox, reverse osmosis, and membrane separation) are difficult to effectively remove them. Moreover, these methods have high investment costs, are cumbersome to operate and manage, cause secondary pollution, and are difficult to solve problems related to the reuse of metals and water resources.
[0003] Complex disruption is considered an important step in the effective removal of metal complexes. In recent years, many oxidation methods have been used to remove heavy metal complexes, including Fe(III) / ultraviolet irradiation (UV), photoelectrocatalysis, discharge plasma, Fenton reaction, and photocatalysis. However, these methods are difficult to apply in engineering for the following three reasons: (1) large consumption of oxidants and low utilization rate; (2) narrow pH range, easy generation of metal sludge, and difficulty in recovering heavy metals; (3) catalysts are not easy to form, lack immobilization processing capacity, and are difficult to meet the needs of large-scale application.
[0004] Photo-Fenton reaction can enhance the Fe(III) / Fe(II) cycle during the Fenton reaction and utilize photogenerated electrons and holes from the photocatalyst, as well as hydroxyl radicals (·OH) generated from the reaction of Fe(III) with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), thereby improving the complex-breaking efficiency of complexed heavy metals. However, photo-Fenton catalysis has low efficiency and stability, making it difficult to achieve effective recovery of heavy metal ions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a treatment technology that can simultaneously achieve complex-breaking and resource recovery of complexed heavy metals.
[0005] The emergence of fluidized bed Fenton or Fenton-like catalytic oxidation technology has provided a promising approach to solving problems such as high sludge content and difficulty in heavy metal recovery. However, currently, no reactor can simultaneously meet the requirements of breaking down complexed heavy metals and recovering them. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an apparatus and method for simultaneous photo-Fenton complex lysis and heavy metal recovery based on iron-modified resin. This invention first acidifies the wastewater containing heavy metal complexes, then pretreats it by mixing it with H2O2. Next, under light irradiation, iron-modified resin is used to simultaneously adsorb and recover heavy metal ions from the wastewater through photo-Fenton complex lysis. The treated effluent, after iron ion recovery by the resin, meets discharge standards. The iron-modified resin adsorbing heavy metal ions is then regenerated using a regenerated solution, recovering the heavy metal concentrate and desorption resin. The recovered desorption resin and iron-recovered resin are then regenerated in the presence of an iron ion supplement, and recycled for simultaneous photo-Fenton complex lysis and heavy metal recovery.

At the same time, it avoids the problem of large consumption of Fe(III) resources and generation of heavy metal sludge in traditional Fenton reaction.
[0038] (2) The ion exchange capacity of the iron-modified resin itself can efficiently adsorb and recover the heavy metal ions generated by the complex breaking, and the Fe(III) released into the tail water can be enriched and recovered through the iron recovery and iron-modified resin regeneration device, which further improves the purification effect of wastewater, realizes the deep treatment of wastewater and near-zero discharge of heavy metals, with a resin regeneration rate of >90% and a heavy metal recovery rate of >90%.

The iron ions in the tailwater are purified and recovered using macroporous cation exchange resin D001. The loading amount of macroporous cation exchange resin D001 is 1g / L. The treated effluent that meets the standards is discharged.
[0082] S5. Pump 5wt% dilute nitric acid from the regenerated liquid storage tank into the two-stage photo-Fenton reactor. The iron-modified resin that adsorbs heavy metal ions is backwashed with 5wt% dilute nitric acid to obtain a heavy metal concentrate and a desorption resin. Pump the obtained heavy metal concentrate into the heavy metal recovery concentrate storage tank and pump the desorption resin into the resin recovery device.
[0083] S6. The desorbed resin recovered in the resin recovery device is passed into the iron recovery and iron-modified resin regeneration device, and a 5 mg / L ferric nitrate solution from the iron agent storage tank is passed in. The desorbed resin and the iron-recovered resin obtained in step S4 are regenerated in the presence of iron ion supplement. The regenerated iron-modified resin is then recycled to the two-stage photo-Fenton reactor for photo-Fenton complex breaking and simultaneous recovery of heavy metals.
[0084] The concentrations of heavy metals (C1, mg / L) and total volume (V1, L) in the effluent from the two-stage photo-Fenton reactor were measured, as were the concentrations of heavy metals (C2, mg / L) and total volume (V2, L) in the effluent from the heavy metal recovery and concentration unit. The iron content (η1, %) in the iron-modified resin before reaction and the iron content (η2, %) in the regenerated iron-modified resin were also measured. The initial concentration of the heavy metal complex wastewater was C0 (mg / L), and the treatment volume was V0 (L). The heavy metal removal rate, heavy metal recovery efficiency, and resin regeneration efficiency were calculated using the following formulas, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0085]
[0086] Table 1
[0087]
[0088] Comparative Example 1
[0089] This comparative example is roughly the same as Example 1, except that in S3: the heavy metal complex wastewater pretreated with H2O2 is pumped into a two-stage photo-Fenton reactor and 8 mg / L of ferric nitrate is added. Macroporous cation exchange resin D001 is selected to replace the iron-modified resin and its dosage is fixed at 1 g / L. Under air-gas mixing conditions and simulated sunlight, 3.5 L of heavy metal complex wastewater is continuously treated by photo-Fenton complex breaking and simultaneous adsorption and recovery of heavy metal ions within 2 hours.
[0090] The calculation methods for heavy metal removal rate, heavy metal recovery efficiency and resin regeneration efficiency are the same as in Example 1, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0091] Table 2
[0092]
[0093] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, in Example 1, iron-modified macroporous cation exchange resin D001 with an iron content of 8 wt% was selected as the reaction material. Photo-Fenton complex lysis and simultaneous adsorption and recovery of heavy metal ions were carried out under simulated sunlight conditions. Since Fe exists in different spin states in the iron-modified resin, it can generate ·OH through the free radical pathway and non-free radical pathways. 1 O2 oxidizes organic ligands, thereby breaking down heavy metal complexes. In the iron-modified resin, Fe(III) is reduced to Fe(II), which further activates H2O2 to generate ·OH and... 1 O2 is used to generate Fe(III), which, under light irradiation, can be reduced to Fe(II) and continue to participate in the generation of ROS, achieving an efficient Fe(III) / Fe(II) cycle and improving the utilization rate of iron ions. The free heavy metal ions released after complex disruption are then captured by the resin carrier through ion exchange, achieving efficient removal of heavy metal complexes while recovering heavy metal resources. The method of this invention achieves a heavy metal removal rate >95% for four types of heavy metal complex wastewater, and a heavy metal recovery rate >90% after desorption with dilute nitric acid. Furthermore, the desorbed resin can regain an iron content of 8 wt% after ion exchange adsorption treatment in the presence of ferric nitrate supplement, with a regeneration efficiency >90%. Comparative Example 1 used 8 mg / L of ferric nitrate and macroporous cation exchange resin D001 instead of iron-modified resin for photo-Fenton complex cleavage and simultaneous adsorption and recovery of heavy metal ions. Compared with Example 1, the synergistic effect of free iron ions and resin resulted in a heavy metal removal rate of <50% for the four heavy metal complex wastewaters, but the heavy metal recovery rate and resin regeneration efficiency were both >90%. This is because the high concentration of Fe(II) in the homogeneous system catalyzes the rapid generation of fast ·OH and OH- from H2O2. - This leads to an increase in the solution pH, causing Fe(II) and Fe(III) to form hydroxide precipitates, affecting catalytic activity and complex-breaking performance, and generating a large amount of heavy metal sludge. Therefore, the method of this invention not only satisfies the need for complex breaking in heavy metal wastewater, but also simultaneously achieves the recovery of heavy metals from the wastewater and the regeneration of the resin.
[0094] Comparative Example 2
[0095] This comparative example is largely the same as Example 1, except for S3: the heavy metal complex wastewater pretreated with H2O2 is pumped into a two-stage photo-Fenton reactor. Iron-modified macroporous cation exchange resin D001 with an iron content of 8wt% is selected as the iron-modified resin, and its dosage is fixed at 1g / L. Under simulated sunlight, 3.5L of heavy metal complex wastewater is continuously treated by photo-Fenton complex breaking and simultaneous adsorption and recovery of heavy metal ions under simulated sunlight for 2 hours without the use of an air mixing device.
[0096] The calculation methods for heavy metal removal rate, heavy metal recovery efficiency and resin regeneration efficiency are the same as in Example 1, and the results are shown in Table 3.
[0097] Table 3
[0098]
[0099] The results in Tables 1 and 3 show that, compared to Example 1, without the use of an air mixing device, using iron-modified macroporous cation exchange resin with an iron content of 8 wt% as the reaction material, and conducting simultaneous adsorption and recovery of heavy metal ions under simulated sunlight conditions, the heavy metal removal rate of the four heavy metal complex wastewaters was all <55%, and the heavy metal recovery rate and resin regeneration efficiency were both <65%. This is because the lack of air mixing operation led to severe accumulation of the iron-modified resin in the photo-Fenton reactor, preventing effective dispersion in the solution. This problem directly resulted in a decrease in the light utilization rate of the iron-modified resin and affected the sufficient contact between the iron-modified resin and the wastewater, making it difficult to effectively adsorb and decomplex the heavy metal ions, ultimately leading to a low heavy metal removal rate. Furthermore, when the regenerated liquid was pumped into the two-stage photo-Fenton reactor, the lack of an air mixing device prevented sufficient contact between the regenerated liquid and the iron-modified resin, making it difficult to effectively desorb the heavy metal ions adsorbed by the resin and further affecting the effective regeneration of the iron-modified resin.
