Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wastewater purification, in particular to a porous hydrotalcite ceramic membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Heavy metal and chloride wastewater is generally derived from metal smelting and processing, petroleum chemical industry, printing and dyeing, salt making, thermal power and other industries. Such wastewater not only corrodes equipment and causes safety hazards, but also pollutes surface water and groundwater. At the same time, heavy metals are an important and valuable resource, and have high value. Therefore, how to effectively treat heavy metal pollution in water bodies, protect human health and the ecological environment, and recycle and utilize heavy metals to alleviate the pressure on resources and the environment in China is an important issue that needs to be addressed at present.

[0003] Wastewater generated by different industries and different enterprises differs in heavy metal and chloride concentration, drainage volume, pH value and other aspects, and even differs greatly. Therefore, a single treatment mode (technology, parameters) cannot be universally applicable. Most single wastewater treatment technologies in China cannot independently achieve wastewater recycling or even meet the standards, and the cost is high, which cannot meet the demand for domestic wastewater treatment.

[0004] The most widely used heavy metal wastewater treatment technology in China at present is chemical precipitation, followed by chelating agent chelation. Chemical precipitation uses a variety of reagents, such as NaOH, CaO, and polymeric ferric sulfate. These reagents are usually inexpensive and have relatively low costs, with a treatment cost of about 6 yuan per ton of water, but further deep treatment is still needed. Chelating agent chelation is superior to chemical precipitation in terms of wastewater treatment effect, with the characteristics of less use, good heavy metal treatment effect, and less secondary pollution such as sediment, but the chelating agent used has a high price, so the overall popularity is lower than that of chemical precipitation. At the same time, whether it is chemical precipitation or chelating agent chelation, the separation of heavy metal ions from water requires long-time standing and precipitation, greatly increasing the time cost. Common chloride wastewater treatment technologies include chemical precipitation, evaporation concentration, membrane separation, adsorption, and electrolysis. However, chemical precipitation needs to improve the utilization efficiency of its reagents and reduce raw material consumption; evaporation concentration has high energy consumption; membrane separation and adsorption require high chloride ion concentration; and electrolysis produces chlorine gas, causing safety hazards. Finally, the current heavy industrial wastewater treatment of heavy metals and chlorides requires segmented treatment, increasing the industrial disposal cost. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a porous hydrotalcite ceramic membrane and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0006] A preparation method of a porous hydrotalcite ceramic membrane, the method comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) mix hydrotalcite powder with zirconium hydrogen phosphate to obtain a mixed powder, then dissolve a binder in water and mix the mixed powder to obtain a mixture;

[0008] (2) form the mixture obtained in step (1) by plastic compression, dry and then calcine, and then treat at 200-350 DEG C for 2-4 h in a water vapor concentration of 50-80% to form a final product.

[0009] In the technical scheme of the present application: the hydrotalcite is one of magnesium-aluminum hydrotalcite, zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite and copper-aluminum hydrotalcite; the binder is one of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).

[0010] In the technical scheme of the present application: the mass ratio of the binder, zirconium hydrogen phosphate and hydrotalcite powder in step (1) is (1.5-3):(30-40):100.

[0011] In the technical scheme of the present application: the calcination in step (2) is performed in air, the calcination temperature is 800-900 DEG C, and the calcination time is 8-16 h.

[0012] A porous hydrotalcite ceramic membrane is prepared by the above method.

[0013] In the technical scheme of the present application, the porous hydrotalcite ceramic membrane prepared by the above method is used for removing chlorine ions and heavy metals in heavy chemical industry wastewater.

[0014] The present application has the following advantages:

[0015] (1) The hydrotalcite has the function of adsorbing chlorine ions, and the modification of the hydrotalcite ceramic membrane by water vapor at high temperature makes the surface of the hydrotalcite ceramic membrane rich in hydroxyl groups, which can further improve the adsorption performance;

[0016] (2) After the hydrotalcite powder is prepared into a ceramic membrane, it can adsorb chlorine ions and filter flocculation and precipitation of heavy metals at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of removing chlorine ions and heavy metals at the same time;

[0017] (3) The flocculant can form a precipitate with heavy metals of high concentration, but the removal effect of trace heavy metal ions is not significant, and the addition of zirconium hydrogen phosphate in the hydrotalcite ceramic powder can adsorb heavy metal ions by using the interlayer spacing of zirconium hydrogen phosphate, so as to make the heavy metal emission meet the standard;

[0018] (4) The hydrotalcite ceramic membrane treated with the wastewater can remove the heavy metal flocculation precipitate by backwashing to realize the recycling of the heavy metal ions; then, the hydrotalcite ceramic membrane is calcined under the condition of rich water vapor to realize the removal of the adsorbed chloride ions in the hydrotalcite ceramic membrane, and the tail gas after calcination is introduced into water to obtain a low-concentration HCl solution. Thus, the chloride ions and the heavy metals are simultaneously removed and secondarily utilized, which has high economic and environmental benefits.

[0019] (5) The material has excellent reusability, low raw material price and simple preparation method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Comparative Example 1

[0031] Step one: 3 g of zirconium hydrogen phosphate and 10 g of magnesium-aluminum hydrotalcite powder were mixed uniformly, and then 0.15 g of PEO was completely dissolved in 3 mL of water, added to the mixed powder, stirred uniformly, and pressed into a shape (r = 2 cm, h = 0.3 cm) and dried at 80°C for 2 h.
