Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of simulation and calculation technology, and relates to a method for predicting the diffusion coefficient of metal ions, and more particularly to a method for predicting the diffusion coefficient of zinc ions in a hydrated calcium silicate solidified contaminated soil system. Background Technology

[0002] Heavy metal pollution in soil is characterized by its long-term nature, insidiousness, irreversibility, and incomplete decomposition, making remediation difficult and posing significant environmental risks. Furthermore, heavy metals can undergo metamorphic transformations within the soil environment through physicochemical reactions, remaining there for extended periods and proving difficult to remove. Cement-based materials are considered the most commonly used solidification materials for controlling the migration of heavy metal ions. During cement hydration, the pH of the solution changes, affecting the migration of metal ions. Therefore, pH changes are closely related to the diffusion performance of metal ions. Calcium silicate hydrate gel is the main product of Portland cement hydration. As the main component of the cement hydration gel phase, it exists as 1-100 nm gel particles, with pores between these particles providing channels for metal ion transport. Since the diffusion performance of heavy metal ions within these gel channels is a crucial parameter for evaluating the effectiveness of solidification materials in controlling pollutants, calculating and predicting the diffusion coefficient of metal ions is of significant research importance.

[0003] Currently, the diffusion coefficient of heavy metal ions is mainly determined by soil column tests, which are widely used because they can represent the migration characteristics of pollutants under diffusion-dominant conditions. However, soil column tests have disadvantages such as inconvenience, long testing cycles, cumbersome operation, susceptibility to secondary pollution, and susceptibility to human error.

[0004] Therefore, it is evident that providing a method for predicting the diffusion coefficient of heavy metal ions in hydrated calcium silicate solidified contaminated soil systems, simplifying the operation process, shortening the testing cycle, improving prediction accuracy, and avoiding secondary pollution has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art.

[0082] The technical solution of the present invention will be further illustrated below through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way.

[0083] Example 1

[0084] This embodiment provides a method for predicting the diffusion coefficient of zinc ions in a hydrated calcium silicate solidified contaminated soil system. The prediction method includes the following steps:

[0085] (1) Constructing a pore model of hydrated calcium silicate gel, specifically: obtaining... Based on the space group number and lattice parameters of the tobermorite crystal structure, a monoclinic unit cell with α = β = 90° and γ = 123.25° was constructed. After orthogonalizing the obtained monoclinic unit cell, it was then enlarged by 2, 3, and 1 times along the X, Y, and Z axes, respectively, to obtain... The supercell was then dissected along the 001 plane to obtain the following result: Figure 1 The aperture shown is The channel model, and the size of the simulation box of the channel model is...

[0086] (2) Construct zinc chloride solution models with three different pH values. Specifically, first construct a model with a size of... The simulation box was then randomly filled with 24 zinc ions, 57 chloride ions, 9 hydrogen ions, and 5000 water molecules to form a zinc chloride solution model with pH=1 and a concentration of 17010 mg / L (see [link to simulation box]). Figure 2 ); 24 zinc ions, 48 ​​chloride ions, and 5000 water molecules were randomly added to a simulation box of the same size to form a zinc chloride solution model with pH=7 and a concentration of 17010 mg / L (see Figure 3 ); In a simulation box of the same size as described above, 24 zinc ions, 48 ​​chloride ions, 9 sodium ions, 9 hydroxide ions, and 5000 water molecules were randomly added to form a zinc chloride solution model with pH=13 and a concentration of 17010 mg / L (see Figure 4 Since the above three solution models are completely identical except for pH, this embodiment only performs subsequent calculations for the solution model with pH=7; then, charges are assigned to zinc ions, chloride ions, calcium ions, sodium ions, hydrogen ions, and silicon atoms and oxygen atoms in the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron to maintain charge balance, and the total charge of the solution is 0 when the charge is balanced.

[0087] (3) Figure 5 As shown, the pore model obtained in step (1) and the solution model obtained in step (2) are assembled. A first graphene plate 2 is placed on the side of the solution model away from the tobermorite 1, and a second graphene plate (not shown in the figure) is placed in the middle of the solution model and the pore model. The solution model is relaxed for 500 ps under the NVT ensemble to form a stable molecular structure. After the relaxation is completed, the second graphene plate is removed to facilitate the diffusion of the solution into the pore.

[0088] Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel is the main product of Portland cement hydration. As the main component of the cement hydration gel phase, it exists in the form of 1-100 nm gel particles. Experiments have shown that the pore size distribution of CSH gel is 0.5-10 nm. The pores between gel particles provide channels for the transport of ion solutions, and the hydrophilicity of the CSH gel surface provides the driving force for capillary transport. In this embodiment, the CSH gel pore model is formed by placing a CSH gel molecular model as a substrate in parallel, leaving transport channels in the middle. The pore diameter and length can be adjusted by translating and extending the CSH substrate.

[0089] (4) Apply a force to each atom in the molecular structure obtained in step (3). The force field describes the potential energy driving the atomic motion in the system. It is converted into the acceleration of each atom's motion through Newton's second law. Given the initial position and velocity, the coordinates of each atom at each time point can be calculated. The force field adopts an empirical force field, the basic form of which is shown in the following formula, including the bond energy, cross term energy and non-bond energy between atoms:

[0090] E total =E valence +E crossterm +E non-bond ;

[0091] E valence =E bond +E angle +E torsion ;

[0092] E non-bond =E vdw +E coulomb +E hbond ;

[0093] In the formula, E total E represents the total potential energy. valence E represents the bonding energy. crossterm E represents the energy of the cross term. non-bond E represents the nonbonded energy. bond E represents the bond stretching potential energy. angle E represents the potential energy of bond angle bending. torsion E represents the dihedral torsional potential energy. vdw E represents the van der Waals force. coulomb E represents the Coulomb electrostatic potential energy. hbond This indicates the hydrogen bond energy.

[0094] Then, given preset and boundary conditions, the Nose-Hoover isothermal calculation method is used to ensure the stability of the system during the simulation. The Verlet algorithm is used to calculate the atomic motion coordinate trajectories, specifically: establishing... Figure 5 The molecular dynamics model shown was used, and after applying force fields to each atom, simulations were performed in Materials Studio. The system temperature was set to 300 K, the system pressure to 1 atm, and the total time step to 1 fs. Periodic boundaries were set in the X, Y, and Z directions. The initial velocity of each atom was randomly generated based on the initial temperature. The Verlet algorithm was used to calculate the position of the atom at the next time step, with a long-range force cutoff radius of [missing value]. First, the structure was energy optimized by minimizing energy. Then, a barrier (i.e., a second graphene plate) was placed between the solution and the CSH substrate to temporarily prevent the solution from entering the pores. Simultaneously, under a canonical ensemble (NVT), the entire system was allowed to move for 500 ps to achieve equilibrium in each part of the structure. Finally, under the canonical ensemble, the barrier (i.e., the second graphene plate) was removed, and a 5 MPa thrust was applied to the graphene plate to allow the solution to enter the pores, moving for 600 ps. During the simulation, thermodynamic parameters such as temperature and pressure, as well as the dimensions of the simulation chamber, were output every 4 ps, along with the coordinates of all atoms, for a total of 151 frames of atomic coordinate output.

[0095] (5) First, calculate the mean square displacement of zinc ions transported in the pore model based on the atomic motion coordinate trajectories obtained in step (4) (see Figure 6 Then, the diffusion coefficient of zinc ions in the pore model was calculated according to Einstein's diffusion law (see...). Figure 7 ), which is the predicted value of the diffusion coefficient of zinc ions in the calcium silicate hydrate solidified contaminated soil system.

[0096] The formula for calculating the mean square displacement is:

[0097] MSD(t) = <|r i (t)-r i (0)| 2 >;

[0098] In the formula, r i (t) represents the position of atom i in the molecular model at time t, r i (0) represents the initial time i and the position of atom i, t represents time, and <> represents the average value.

[0099] The formula for calculating the diffusion coefficient is:

[0100]

[0101] In the formula, n represents the number of model dimensions, and n = 3.

[0102] To further investigate the specific effects of solution pH on metal ions in cement-based materials, this example measured the changes in mean square displacement and diffusion coefficient over time in solution environments with pH=1, pH=7, and pH=13. Figure 6 and 7 As shown, it can be seen that in the first 100 ps, ​​before the solution enters the pore, the diffusion coefficient decreases as the solution pH increases. After entering the pore, the diffusion coefficient of metal ions in solution pH=7 is higher than that in the other two cases.

[0103] Therefore, this invention predicts the diffusion coefficient of zinc ions in the calcium silicate hydrate solidified contaminated soil system through molecular dynamics simulation. This not only effectively solves the problems of inconvenient testing, long testing cycle, cumbersome operation, and easy secondary pollution in the prediction of the diffusion coefficient of heavy metal ions in the existing technology, but also realizes the visualization of the migration process at the molecular scale. The obtained data provides a reliable basis for the performance of cement-based materials in solidifying heavy metal ions.

[0104] The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
