Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater treatment method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tetracycline hydrochloride, as a widely used tetracycline antibiotic, is continuously used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, livestock breeding and medical treatment, resulting in a large amount of wastewater containing such substances entering the water environment. Such wastewater has the characteristics of complex composition, high chemical stability and poor biodegradability. If it is directly discharged without proper treatment, it will not only cause long-term potential risks to the aquatic ecosystem, but also induce the generation and spread of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment, posing a serious threat to public health. Although the traditional biological treatment method has a low cost, it has limited removal efficiency for tetracycline hydrochloride and other pollutants with strong biological inhibition, and it is difficult to achieve ideal purification effect. Although the physical adsorption method can achieve partial removal, it is essentially a phase transfer of pollutants and does not achieve complete degradation, and there are problems such as difficulty in regenerating adsorbents and high cost of subsequent disposal. Therefore, developing a new treatment technology that can efficiently and completely degrade tetracycline hydrochloride has become an important research direction in the field of environmental engineering.

[0003] In recent years, the advanced oxidation technology based on sulfate radicals has shown broad prospects in the field of treatment of refractory organic wastewater due to its strong oxidation ability, long action life and wide acid-base applicability. Compared with traditional hydroxyl radicals, sulfate radicals have higher reactivity and selectivity for organic matter containing unsaturated bonds and aromatic structures, and are particularly suitable for the degradation of antibiotic pollutants. At present, there are various activation methods of persulfate salt, including thermal activation, ultraviolet light activation, metal ion activation and carbon material activation. Among them, the homogeneous iron ion activation system is simple to operate, but has problems such as easy precipitation of iron ions under neutral conditions to form iron sludge, difficulty in recycling of catalysts, and increase of colority of effluent; the heterogeneous catalytic system can overcome some of the defects, but the commonly used artificial synthetic catalysts often have complex preparation process and high raw material cost, and some catalysts have metal dissolution, limiting their large-scale engineering application. In addition, the existing activation methods generally have common problems such as high energy consumption, low utilization rate of oxidants and unstable free radical yield, and it is urgent to develop more economical and efficient and environmentally friendly new ways of persulfate salt activation.

[0004] In view of the above technical bottleneck, researchers have begun to turn their attention to the solution of combining natural mineral materials with functional modification. Pyrite, as a kind of natural sulfide mineral with abundant reserves and low price, its surface is rich in active components which have good catalytic potential for persulfate, but natural pyrite has inherent defects such as limited specific surface area, insufficient exposure of active sites and slow reaction kinetics. Therefore, through reasonable structure design and component regulation, developing modified pyrite materials with high catalytic performance, and constructing a matching activation reaction system, become an effective way to break through the existing technical difficulties. The present invention is in this background, through innovative material modification process and reaction condition optimization, successfully developed a multi-level structure iron and iron sulfide composite carbon material and a high-efficiency treatment system based on direct current synergistic activation of potassium monopersulfate, which provides a new technical scheme for realizing low-cost, high-efficiency and no secondary pollution treatment of tetracycline hydrochloride wastewater. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater treatment method.

[0006] In the first aspect of the present application, a tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater treatment method is provided, comprising the following steps: S1, introducing the tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater to be treated into a reactor, adding a multi-level structure iron and iron sulfide composite carbon material, stirring, and adjusting the pH to 6.5-7.5 with dilute sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide solution; S2, adding potassium monopersulfate hydrogen salt to the tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater, starting the direct current system, and applying a current density of 15-25 mA / cm² through titanium-plated platinum electrode plates; S3, under the action of direct current and multi-level structure iron and iron sulfide composite carbon material, degradation reaction occurs at 30-45℃; S4, after the completion of the degradation reaction, the direct current system and the stirring device are turned off, the reaction mixture is left to stand, and the catalyst is recovered by separating the reaction mixture through an external magnetic field.

[0007] The multi-level structure iron and ferrous sulfide composite carbon material and the direct current electric field exhibit a clever synergistic mechanism in the process of degrading tetracycline hydrochloride. When the multi-level structure iron and ferrous sulfide composite carbon material is dispersed in wastewater, the active sites of iron and ferrous sulfide on the surface of the material and the potassium peroxymonosulfate composite salt in the solution undergo electron transfer reactions, activate the potassium peroxymonosulfate composite salt to generate sulfate radicals with strong oxidizing ability, and the sulfate radicals can further react with water to generate hydroxyl radicals. At the same time, the introduction of the direct current electric field provides a continuous source of electrons for the system, not only accelerating the activation process of the potassium peroxymonosulfate composite salt, but more importantly, through electrochemical reduction, the trivalent iron active center generated on the surface of the material is continuously reduced to a more catalytically active divalent iron form, thereby realizing the self-regeneration and recycling of the catalyst, greatly improving the yield and reaction efficiency of the radicals. The active species such as sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals generated will preferentially attack the phenolic hydroxyl group, dimethylamino group and tetracene nucleus in the tetracycline hydrochloride molecule, which have high electron cloud density, through a series of radical chain reactions such as electron transfer, hydrogen atom abstraction and addition reaction, gradually destroying the aromatic ring structure and functional groups. As the reaction proceeds, the tetracene nucleus of tetracycline hydrochloride undergoes ring-opening cleavage to generate a series of intermediate products (including small molecule organic acids) with smaller molecular weights, which are further oxidized and decomposed, and finally mineralized into carbon dioxide, water and small molecule organic acids and inorganic ions. The entire degradation process can be efficiently carried out under near neutral conditions, the multi-level pore structure of the composite material provides an ideal place for the full contact of pollutant molecules and active sites, and the good conductivity of the carbon skeleton promotes the efficiency of interfacial electron transfer, and the synergistic effect of the direct current electric field further enhances the generation and catalytic cycle of radicals, and the three work together to achieve efficient, rapid and complete degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S1, the concentration of the multi-level structure iron and ferrous sulfide composite carbon material in the tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater is 0.3-0.5 g / L.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S2, the concentration of potassium peroxymonosulfate composite salt in the tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater is 3-6 mmol / L.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S3, the reaction time is 15-30 min.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S4, the reaction mixture is allowed to stand for 10-15 min.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the preparation step of the multi-level structure iron and ferrous sulfide composite carbon material comprises: A1, grinding pyrite and hematite into powder after crushing to obtain a mixture; drying orange peel at 78-82 DEG C and crushing to obtain orange peel powder; putting the orange peel powder, the mixture and sodium hydroxide into a ball mill to grind to obtain a mixture; A2, transferring the mixture into a crucible, placing it in a microwave muffle furnace, heating to 440-460 DEG C under nitrogen atmosphere, pyrolyzing to obtain a pyrolysis mixture; A3, cooling the pyrolysis mixture to room temperature, stirring and washing with hydrochloric acid solution; then washing with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol alternately, placing in a vacuum drying box and drying at 78-82 DEG C to obtain dried material; A4, dispersing the dried material in hydrogen peroxide solution, stirring under 38-42 DEG C water bath; then obtaining the oxidized solid material by suction filtration, washing the oxidized solid material with deionized water until neutral, and drying under vacuum at 58-62 DEG C.

[0013] In the present application, the preparation process of the multi-level structure iron and iron sulfide composite carbon material contains profound material science principles. When pyrite and hematite are mixed and ground in a specific ratio, the two iron-based minerals are uniformly dispersed and closely contacted at the microscale, laying a solid foundation for subsequent solid-phase reactions. The added orange peel biomass not only serves as a carbon source, but also converts into a carbon matrix with a seaweed-like multi-level pore structure during pyrolysis due to its abundant cellulose and hemicellulose structure. This unique structure greatly increases the specific surface area of the material. Sodium hydroxide plays multiple roles during ball milling and pyrolysis: on the one hand, it promotes the reconstruction of the mineral lattice, causing the displacement reaction between sulfur in pyrite and oxygen in hematite to form iron sulfide phases with more active sites; on the other hand, it generates local hot spot effects in the microwave field, accelerating the pyrolysis and carbonization process of the biomass. The rapid heating during the microwave pyrolysis stage causes the precursor mixture to undergo a dramatic phase transition process, with pyrite partially decomposing into zero-valent iron and ferrous sulfide with magnetism, and hematite being reduced to magnetite with stronger magnetism and catalytic activity; at the same time, the three-dimensional interconnected carbon network formed by the carbonization of orange peel biomass firmly anchors these iron-based active components (including zero-valent iron, magnetite, and ferrous sulfide, etc.) together, forming a stable and magnetically responsive composite structure. The subsequent acid washing process not only removes amorphous impurities and part of the soluble components from the surface of the material, but more importantly, it creates more mesopores and micropores on the carbon skeleton, further increasing the specific surface area and porosity of the material. The final hydrogen peroxide surface treatment significantly enhances the hydrophilicity and electronic conductivity of the material by introducing abundant oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the carbon material, enabling the final obtained composite material to simultaneously possess excellent catalytic activity, structural stability, and magnetic separation performance.

[0014] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, in step A1, the mass ratio of pyrite, hematite, orange peel and sodium hydroxide is 3.5:1.5:5:0.12; the drying time is 12-14h at 78-82℃.

[0015] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, in step A2, the pyrolysis time is 8-10min.

[0016] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, in step A3, the concentration of hydrochloric acid solution is 0.08-0.12mol / L.

[0017] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, in step A4, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution is 0.04-0.06mol / L.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: (1) The tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater treatment method provided by the present application has excellent technical effects, and its primary advantage is that it realizes efficient and rapid degradation of target pollutants. Through the synergistic effect of the multi-level structure iron and iron sulfide composite carbon material and the direct current electric field, the potassium peroxymonosulfate composite salt is efficiently activated, generating a large number of active radical species with strong oxidizing ability. These radicals can rapidly attack the benzene ring structure, phenolic hydroxyl group and dimethylamino group and other characteristic functional groups in the tetracycline hydrochloride molecule, initiate ring-opening reaction and chain scission reaction, and finally decompose it into harmless substances such as small molecular organic acids, carbon dioxide and water. Experiments show that under near neutral conditions, the system can achieve very high pollutant removal rate in a short reaction time, and the total organic carbon removal rate is also significantly higher than that of traditional methods, indicating that deep mineralization of pollutants is achieved, rather than simple form transformation.

[0019] (2) In terms of catalyst performance and economy, the present application achieves multiple technical breakthroughs through ingenious material design. The multi-level structure composite material constructed by microwave co-pyrolysis of natural pyrite and hematite as iron source combined with waste orange peel biomass not only greatly improves the specific surface area and active site density, but also forms a stable iron-iron sulfide-carbon composite interface, greatly enhancing the electron transfer efficiency. The magnetic properties of the material itself allow for rapid separation and recovery through an external magnetic field after the reaction, and it can be reused multiple times without significant loss of catalytic activity after simple regeneration. Compared with expensive synthetic catalysts or homogeneous iron salts, the material has a wide range of raw material sources and low cost, and avoids the secondary pollution problem caused by a large amount of iron sludge produced by traditional Fenton process, truly realizing the concepts of "waste treatment with waste" and green recycling.

[0020] (3) Another significant technical effect of the present application is reflected in its wide operational adaptability and lower energy consumption requirements. The system can maintain excellent catalytic performance under neutral to weakly basic conditions, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional advanced oxidation techniques that require frequent adjustment of pH, reducing reagent consumption and operating costs. The introduction of the direct current system not only promotes the activation process of persulfate, but also continuously regenerates the active components on the catalyst surface through electrochemical action, forming an efficient catalytic-electrochemical synergistic mechanism, significantly improving the oxidant utilization efficiency and reaction rate. The entire treatment device has a simple structure, easy operation, and is easy to realize automated control and large-scale application, and has a broad application prospect in treating antibiotic-containing wastewater generated in the pharmaceutical, aquaculture and other industries, providing a practical technical solution to solve the current difficult problem of treating refractory organic wastewater.

The subsequent pyrolysis, acid washing, and oxidation treatment conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1. Tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater treatment: 1 L of tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater with an initial concentration of 50 mg / L is taken, 0.4 g of the comparative material is added, and the remaining treatment conditions are consistent with Example 1.

[0035] Comparative Example 2 The difference between the present comparative example and Example 1 is that the comparative material is prepared without adding orange peel: 3.5 g of pyrite and 1.5 g of hematite are ground into a 300-mesh powder, and 0.12 g of sodium hydroxide is directly ball-milled and mixed for 45 minutes. The subsequent pyrolysis, acid washing, and oxidation treatment conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1. Tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater treatment: 1 L of tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater with an initial concentration of 50 mg / L is taken, 0.4 g of the comparative material is added, and the remaining treatment conditions are consistent with Example 1.

[0036] Comparative Example 3 The difference between the present comparative example and Example 1 is that, in the preparation of the multi-level structure iron and iron sulfide composite carbon material, in step A1, no sodium hydroxide is added. Tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater treatment: 1 L of tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater with an initial concentration of 50 mg / L is taken, 0.4 g of the comparative material is added, and the remaining treatment conditions are consistent with Example 1.

[0037] According to the test specifications of national and industry standards, the water samples treated by the tetracycline hydrochloride-containing wastewater treatment method provided in the above examples and comparative examples are tested, and the test methods are as follows: 200 mL of the treated water sample is accurately measured, filtered through a 0.22 μm polyether sulfone filter membrane, and immediately detected. The tetracycline hydrochloride concentration detection uses a high-performance liquid chromatograph equipped with a C18 reverse-phase chromatographic column, the mobile phase is a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.01 mol / L oxalic acid solution at a volume ratio of 25:75, the flow rate is 1.0 mL / min, the column temperature is 35°C, the detection wavelength is 355 nm, the sample injection amount is 20 μL, and the peak area is quantified by external standard method.

[0038] The reaction rate constant is obtained by measuring the change in tetracycline hydrochloride concentration at different time points: samples are taken at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes after the start of the reaction, the tetracycline hydrochloride concentration is measured, and the slope of the linear fitting of ln(C0 / C t ) versus reaction time t is the reaction rate constant.

[0039] The total organic carbon content was determined using a total organic carbon analyzer by high-temperature catalytic combustion method. The water sample was first acidified to pH < 2 with phosphoric acid and then purged to remove inorganic carbon. Then, catalytic oxidation was carried out at 680°C, and the carbon dioxide concentration was detected by a nondispersive infrared detector.

[0040] The chemical oxygen demand was determined by a rapid digestion spectrophotometric method at a wavelength of 600 nm.

[0041] The catalyst stability test was performed by repeatedly using the multi-level structure iron and iron sulfide composite carbon material prepared in the examples and the comparative examples after washing with deionized water and vacuum drying at 80°C for 2h. The degradation rate was recorded after 5 times of repeated use under the same conditions. The iron ion concentration was determined by the o-phenanthroline spectrophotometric method at 510 nm. All tests were set up with three parallel samples.

[0043] Table 1 Performance test results

[0044] From the above, it can be seen that examples 1-3 effectively solve the technical bottleneck that the present application aims to break through compared to comparative examples 1-3.

[0045] In terms of pollutant degradation efficiency, the tetracycline hydrochloride removal rate of example 1 reached 97.5%, and the total organic carbon removal rate was 68.3%, which was significantly better than 68.3% and 42.1% of comparative example 1, proving that the complete component system can fully exert the synergistic catalytic effect; examples 2 and 3 maintained degradation rates of 92.1% and 95.8% respectively, forming an obvious technical gradient, while the degradation rates of comparative examples 2 and 3 dropped sharply to 59.7% and 52.4% due to the lack of orange peel carbon skeleton and the modification of sodium hydroxide, verifying the key role of the multi-level structure and surface functional groups of the material.

[0046] In terms of reaction kinetics performance, the reaction rate constant of example 1 reached 0.1386 min -1 , which was 6.8 times that of comparative example 3, confirming that the electron transfer efficiency of the composite material was significantly improved; the rate constants of examples 2 and 3 were 0.1053 min -1 and 0.1268 min -1 , respectively, which remained at a high level, while the rate constant of comparative example 1 was only 0.0362 min -1 due to the lack of hematite lattice synergistic effect, highlighting the importance of the double iron source design.

[0047] In terms of environmental friendliness, the iron ion dissolution concentration of Examples 1-3 is controlled in the range of 0.38-0.45 mg / L, which is much lower than 0.68 mg / L of Comparative Example 2 and 0.75 mg / L of Comparative Example 3, indicating that the surface carbon-coated structure effectively inhibits metal dissolution; Example 1 still maintains a degradation rate of 94.1% after 5 cycles, compared with 58.9% of Comparative Example 3, proving that the material has excellent structural stability.

[0048] Examples successfully solve the core problems of low catalyst efficiency, poor stability and easy secondary pollution in traditional processes by constructing iron-sulfur iron-carbon multi-level composite structure, realizing the unification of efficient and stable degradation and technical and economic efficiency.
