Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sludge pollution remediation technology, specifically relating to a leaching agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With economic and social development, river water pollution is intensifying. Bottom sediment, as a crucial component of water bodies, contains a large concentration of pollutants, making it a major endogenous source of pollution for rivers and lakes. Disturbance of the water overlying the bottom sediment can lead to the secondary release of pollutants, resulting in repeated water pollution and even endangering terrestrial life and human health.
[0003] Heavy metal contamination is one of the most serious problems in sediment pollution, and there are two main remediation methods: solidification / stabilization and chemical leaching. Solidification / stabilization still has problems such as incomplete removal of heavy metals, requiring long-term monitoring. Leaching technology, on the other hand, is simple to implement, has high removal efficiency, and can achieve permanent removal of heavy metals. The key to leaching technology is the selection of the leaching agent. Currently, the most commonly used leaching agents include EDTA, EDDS, and organic acids, but all of these generate large amounts of leaching wastewater containing leaching agent-heavy metal compounds, increasing leaching costs and limiting the development of leaching technology. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a rinsing agent, its preparation method and application. The prepared rinsing agent can greatly reduce the treatment cost of rinsing waste liquid while efficiently removing heavy metals.
[0005] This invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, a method for preparing a rinsing agent is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0007] A methanol solution of potassium methoxide was added to molten trimethylolpropane, stirred and then vacuumed. Glycidyl monomer was then added dropwise. After the reaction was complete, methanol was added and the mixture was dried to obtain hyperbranched polyglycerol ether.
[0008] Carbonyl imidazole (CDI) was added to a solution of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) containing saturated fatty acids and stirred until homogeneous. The mixture was then added dropwise to a solution of hyperbranched polyglycerol ether in DMF. The reaction was carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere and heated. The product was then post-treated to obtain a thermosensitive hyperbranched polyglycidyl ether eluent.
[0009] Furthermore, the trimethylolpropane is heated to 70-75°C in an oil bath to melt, and a methanol solution of potassium methoxide is added under a nitrogen atmosphere and stirred for 0.5-1 h.
[0010] Furthermore, the molar ratio of trimethylolpropane to glycidyl monomer is 1:1 to 1:21. By adjusting the above ratio, hyperbranched polyglycidyl ethers of different generations can be synthesized.
[0011] Furthermore, the concentration of potassium methoxide in the methanol solution of potassium methoxide is 0.31 mol / L.
[0012] Furthermore, the glycidyl monomer is added dropwise over 5 to 12 hours, and the reaction continues for another 5 to 12 hours after the addition is complete. After the reaction is complete, methanol is added, and the mixture is passed through a cation exchange resin, evaporated at 60 to 70°C, and then vacuum dried for 24 hours.
[0013] Furthermore, the saturated fatty acid includes one of caprylic acid and capric acid.
[0014] Furthermore, the molar mass of the saturated fatty acid is 14% to 17% of the molar mass of the hyperbranched polyglycerol ether end group, and the molar mass of the added CDI is 1.5 times the molar mass of the carboxyl group in the saturated fatty acid.
[0015] Furthermore, under ice bath conditions, CDI was added to the DMF solution of saturated fatty acids until it was completely dissolved. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1–2 hours until homogeneous. Then, it was added dropwise to the DMF solution of hyperbranched polyglycerol ether. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the oil bath was heated to 45–55°C and the reaction was carried out for 5–12 hours.
[0016] Furthermore, the post-treatment of the reaction product includes: cooling to room temperature, diluting with anhydrous methanol, dialyzing with methanol through a cellulose dialysis membrane for 1-2 days, removing methanol by rotary evaporation, and vacuum drying for 24 hours.
[0017] In a second aspect, a rinsing agent prepared by the method described in the first aspect is provided.
[0018] Thirdly, an application of the leaching agent described in the second aspect is provided for the remediation of heavy metal contamination in sludge, the method comprising:
[0019] Remove impurities from the sludge, grind it, sieve it, air dry it naturally, add a leaching agent solution, mix it evenly, shake it, centrifuge it, and the supernatant obtained is the leaching waste liquid, and the lower solid is the leached sludge.
[0020] The leaching waste liquid was heated in a water bath until the leaching agent underwent a phase change. Then, it was centrifuged and filtered to obtain a precipitate of leaching agent-heavy metal complex.
[0021] The precipitate of the eluent-heavy metal complex was acid-washed to remove the heavy metals from the surface of the eluent, resulting in a recyclable eluent, and the heavy metals were collected.
[0022] Furthermore, the concentration of the rinsing agent solution is 5–20 mmol / L, and the liquid-to-solid ratio of the rinsing agent solution to the air-dried sludge is 10:1–20:1.
[0023] Furthermore, the temperature of the rinsing waste liquid heated in the water bath is 40-60°C, and the time is 5-10 minutes.
[0024] Furthermore, the acid used for acid washing of the leaching agent-heavy metal complex precipitate is hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0026] This invention uses trimethylolpropane as the core and glycidyl ether as the monomer to synthesize hyperbranched polyglycerol ether, and then adds saturated fatty acids for end-group modification to prepare thermosensitive hyperbranched polyglycidyl ether. The hyperbranched polyglycerol ether has a three-dimensional spatial structure with numerous pores that can fully encapsulate heavy metal ions. Furthermore, the hyperbranched polymer contains abundant end-group groups, which can chelate and complex with different heavy metal ions, resulting in a high removal rate of heavy metals. In addition, the thermosensitive polymer has excellent applications in aqueous solution separation due to its temperature-sensitive properties. When used to wash sludge, the resulting leaching wastewater containing thermosensitive hyperbranched polymer and heavy metals can be precipitated from the aqueous solution by simply increasing the temperature, achieving solid-liquid separation. Therefore, the leaching agent prepared by this invention can significantly reduce the treatment cost of leaching wastewater while efficiently removing heavy metals. Detailed Implementation
