Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of modified materials, and particularly to a surface-modified mesh, a preparation method and application thereof, an oil-containing sewage treatment device and a treatment method. Background Art

[0002] The treatment of oil-containing sewage is extremely difficult, with low efficiency and high cost. It is one of the industrial wastewaters that are difficult to treat nowadays. The existing oil-containing sewage treatment technologies have disadvantages such as long time, large equipment volume, fast equipment corrosion rate, and use of a large amount of chemical agents. Therefore, new technologies need to be developed for treatment.

[0003] The treatment of oil-containing sewage by membrane separation technology is based on the microporous sieving effect of the membrane and the special wetting performance of the membrane for separation. This method has the advantages of simplicity, high efficiency, flexible and simple operation, low environmental pollution, strong versatility, etc., and is an important future development direction of oil-water separation membranes. However, in the treatment of oil-containing sewage, especially in the separation of oil-water emulsions, there is a trade-off effect between flux and selectivity for traditional two-dimensional porous polymer separation membranes, making it difficult to have both high permeability and high selectivity. The flux decays relatively fast, the separation efficiency is not high, an external driving pressure is required, fouling is easy to occur, and the types of oil-containing sewage that can be treated are limited, etc. To overcome the deficiencies of traditional two-dimensional structure polymer membranes, some researchers use wire meshes, organic microfiltration membranes, etc. as substrates, and dip-coat or paint superhydrophilic substances on them to construct micro-nano structures to form meshes, which can effectively overcome the weaknesses of two-dimensional symmetric membranes such as low pressure resistance, fast flux decay, and low separation efficiency. However, the preparation methods of such meshes are complex, the service life is short, and the resistance to swelling and chemical agents is poor, and they cannot adapt to the separation of oil-water mixtures in complex chemical environments, making it difficult to achieve large-scale industrial applications.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an oil-water separation material with high separation efficiency, high flux, and low energy consumption. When using this material for oil-water separation, the operation is simple, the operating cost is low, no secondary pollution is caused, and the effluent index can be stably up to standard during long-term operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above problems existing in the prior art, and provide a surface-modified mesh, a preparation method and application thereof, an oil-containing sewage treatment device and a treatment method. The surface-modified mesh has the characteristics of high oil removal rate, high flux, and low energy consumption. When using this material for oil-water separation, the operation is simple, the energy consumption is low, the operating cost is low, no secondary pollution is caused, and the effluent index can be stably up to standard during long-term operation.

[0011] (3) Conducting a web-forming treatment on the surface-modified polypropylene fibers to obtain a surface-modified web having a three-dimensional network structure.

[0012] The third aspect of the present invention provides a surface-modified web prepared by the method as described above.

[0013] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides the application of the surface-modified web provided in the first aspect or the third aspect of the present invention in treating oily sewage.

[0014] The fifth aspect of the present invention provides a device for treating oily sewage. According to the flow direction of the material, the treatment device sequentially includes: a storage tank and an oil-water separator;

[0015] Among them, the storage tank is used for storing oily sewage; the oil-water separator is filled with the surface-modified web provided in the first aspect or the third aspect of the present invention for oil-water separation;

[0029] For example, the grammage of the web can be 150 - 650 g / m 2 (e.g., it can be 150 g / m 2 , 200 g / m 2 , 300 g / m 2 , 400 g / m 2 , 500 g / m 2 , 600 g / m 2 , 650 g / m 2 and values within the range formed by any two of the above values), the thickness can be 25 - 80 mm (e.g., it can be 25 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm and values within the range formed by any two of the above values), and the porosity can be 60 - 85 vol% (e.g., it can be 60 vol%, 65 vol%, 70 vol%, 75 vol%, 80 vol%, 82 vol%, 85 vol%). Applying the surface - modified web surface to oil - water separation can obtain a high oil - water separation efficiency, that is, it can achieve a high oil removal rate.

[0030] According to the present invention, in order to further improve the oil removal rate of the surface - modified web, preferably, the grammage of the surface - modified web is 200 - 500 g / m 2 , the thickness is 30 - 60 mm, and the porosity is 65 - 82 vol%.

[0031] According to the present invention, in order to further improve the surface - modification effect, make the surface - modified web have a higher oil removal rate, and further ensure long - term effectiveness, preferably, by weight, in the surface - modified web, the content ratio of polypropylene and surfactant is 100:1 - 30.

[0032] According to the present invention, in order to further improve the oil removal rate of the surface - modified web, preferably, according to the ASTM D1238 - 13 method, the melt index of the polypropylene at a temperature of 230 °C and a load weight of 2.16 kg is 100 - 1000 g / 10 min, more preferably 400 - 800 g / 10 min. The inventors of the present invention found in the research that polypropylene within this melt - index range has good fluidity, processability, and the mechanical properties of the prepared surface - modified web are good. It can obtain a good modification effect without significantly affecting the polypropylene matrix material, making the oil removal rate of the prepared surface - modified web higher.

Among them, by weight, the dosage ratio of polypropylene to antioxidant 1010 is 20-26:1; carry out melting at 183-187°C, then stir for 1.8-2.2 h under a nitrogen atmosphere, stop stirring and stand for degassing at 183-187°C for 1.3-1.6 h to obtain a spinning solution;

[0089] After filtering the spinning solution through a filter screen, it is fed into a screw extruder through a pipeline and extruded under the condition that the extrusion temperature is 168 - 173 °C; then it is spun through the spinneret of the spinning pack by a metering pump. The aperture of the spinneret is 0.3 - 0.8 mm and the temperature is 127 - 132 °C; then it forms primary fibers after being stretched by air flow. The temperature of the air flow is 138 - 142 °C and the spinning speed is 260 - 290 m / min; then the primary fibers are cooled by cooling air. The temperature of the cooling air is 9 - 11 °C, and polypropylene fibers are obtained.

[0090] The polypropylene fibers are soaked in ethanol for more than 12 hours, then washed 3 times with deionized water to remove the impurities adsorbed on the surface of the polypropylene fibers, and then placed in an oven for drying to remove the moisture adsorbed on the surface.

[0091] The dried polypropylene fibers are immersed in a surfactant solution for surface modification to obtain surface-modified polypropylene fibers. In the surfactant solution, the surfactant is dodecafluorocarbon alkyl succinate sulfonate and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The mass ratio of the polypropylene fibers to the surfactant is 100:11 - 18; the temperature of surface modification is 48 - 54 °C and the time of surface modification is 28 - 33 min.

[0092] Then the surface-modified polypropylene fibers are dried at 55 - 65 °C for more than 12 hours. The dried surface-modified polypropylene fibers are taken, carded into a web, needled, and heat-sealed and reinforced to obtain a surface-modified web with a three-dimensional network structure.

[0093] (2) The surface-modified web is layered and compacted and filled into the bed layer of the oil-water separator. The filling volume of the surface-modified web and the volume of the oil-water separator are in a ratio of 1:2.5 - 3.5;

[0094] (3) The oily sewage with a temperature of 40 - 60 °C in the storage tank is pumped into the sewage tank by a sewage pump;

[0095] (4) Open the flow regulating valve and the flow meter, and pump the liquid in the sewage tank into the oil-water separator through a feed pump. By adjusting the flow regulating valve, control the inlet water flow within 0.1 - 0.2 m 3 / h for the treatment of oily sewage. The separated oil phase enters the oil collecting tank through the oil phase outlet, and the water phase from which the oil phase has been removed enters the produced water tank through the water phase outlet.

[0108] The determination of the melt index of polypropylene is carried out by the method of ASTM D1238-13 at a temperature of 230 °C and a load weight of 2.16 kg.

[0109] The test method for the grammage is as follows: First, take a sample with a grammage tester, then weigh it with a balance, and divide the obtained gram number by the area to get the grammage (g / m 2 ).

[0110] The porosity is measured by the mercury intrusion method using an Autopore IV-9500 fully automatic mercury intrusion porosimeter.

[0111] The tensile strength is tested by a 3342 universal material testing machine of INSTRON Company, USA. The total length of the specimen is 40 mm, the test temperature is 25 °C, and the loading speed is 40 mm / min.

The feed pump is connected to the sewage inlet of the oil-water separator 7 through a pipeline, and is used for pumping the sewage in the sewage tank 3 into the oil-water separator 7 for treatment. The oil-water separator 7 is filled with a surface-modified mesh membrane to treat the oily sewage, that is, to separate the oil phase and the water phase. The oil-water separator includes an oil phase outlet and a water phase outlet. The oil phase outlet is connected to the oil collection tank 9 through a pipeline, and the water phase outlet is connected to the water production tank 8 through a pipeline.

[0120] After filtering the spinning solution through a filter screen, input it into a screw extruder through a pipeline for extrusion, and then spray it through the spinneret of the spinning component by a metering pump. Then, form a primary fiber after air stretching, and cool the primary fiber with cooling air to obtain polypropylene fibers with uniform thickness.

[0121] (3) Immerse the polypropylene fibers in ethanol for more than 12 hours, then wash them 3 times with deionized water to remove the impurities adsorbed on the surface of the polypropylene fibers. Then, place them in an oven at 70 °C for drying for more than 24 hours to remove the water adsorbed on the surface.

[0131] Among them, Comparative Example 1 was carried out according to the method of Example 5. The difference is that the polypropylene fibers were not immersed in the surfactant solution, that is, no surface modification was carried out, and the polypropylene fibers obtained by spinning were directly subjected to web-forming treatment; Comparative Example 2 was carried out according to the method of Example 5. The difference is that the surface-modified polypropylene fibers obtained after surface modification were not subjected to web-forming treatment. m(polypropylene resin: antioxidant) refers to the dosage ratio of the polypropylene and the antioxidant by weight.

[0132] Test Example

[0133] The modified meshes prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were taken, and their tensile strengths were measured respectively. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0134] The oily wastewater from a certain refinery was taken. After measurement, the pH of the wastewater was 7.5 and the oil content was 7386 mg / L.

[0135] The surface-modified meshes prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2, which had been used for more than 5 months before this test, were respectively used for treating oily sewage in the oily sewage treatment device as shown in Figure 1 shown.

[0136] The specific method is as follows:

[0137] (1) The products prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were respectively packed into the bed layer of the oil-water separator in a stratified and compacted manner.

[0138] (2) The oily sewage with a temperature of 40-60 °C in the storage tank was pumped into the sewage tank by a sewage pump;

[0139] (3) Open the flow regulating valve and the flowmeter, and pump the liquid in the sewage tank into the oil-water separator via the feed pump. By adjusting the flow regulating valve, control is such that, relative to the packing volume of 300 L of the modified mesh, the inlet speed of the oily sewage is 0.1 - 0.5 m 3 / h.

[0140] After stable operation, take the water in the water production tank, measure the oil content therein, and calculate the oil removal rate. The results are shown in Table 4. Among them, the packing ratio is the ratio of the packing volume of the surface-modified mesh to the volume of the oil-water separator, and the inlet speed is the inlet speed relative to the surface-modified mesh with a packing volume of 300 L.

[0141] Table 4

[0142]

[0143]

[0144] It can be seen from the above results that the mesh prepared by adopting the technical solution of the present invention can still obtain a relatively high oil removal rate during oil-water separation after running for 5 months. It can be seen that the mesh prepared by the technical solution of the present invention can maintain a high-efficiency oil removal function for a long time. Comparative Examples 1 - 2 do not adopt the technical solution of the present invention, and the effects are poor. Moreover, compared with the product of Comparative Example 1 without modification, the meshes prepared in Examples 1 - 10 have a higher tensile strength, that is, modification by the method of the present invention will not reduce the physical strength of the bulk polypropylene fiber.

[0145] In addition, when preparing the mesh by adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the preparation is simple and suitable for industrial promotion. And if the oil removal function of the mesh decreases after a long time of use, the mesh can be washed and then the above impregnation / drying method can be used again to restore its function, and the operation is also relatively simple. Moreover, when using the technical solution of the present invention for oil-water separation, the energy consumption is low, no waste residue is generated, no secondary pollution is caused, the treatment process is safe and explosion-proof, the separation speed is fast, the flux is relatively high, and water conduction and oil interception can be achieved with low energy consumption relying on the action of liquid column static pressure, etc.

[0146] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, including any other suitable combination of each technical feature. These simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the content disclosed by the present invention and fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
