Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of environmental protection water treatment, and particularly relates to application of basic aluminum acetate in water treatment defluorination. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fluorine is one of the trace elements necessary for human body, and is closely related to human life activities. At a lower concentration, fluoride is beneficial to tooth development and treatment of osteoporosis, but long-term use can cause fluoride poisoning, kidney damage, and even cancer. Fluoride affecting human health mainly comes from drinking water and food in nature. The fluoride content in drinking water is mainly determined by the fluorine contained in the earth's crust, and is also affected by industrial wastewater discharge. Fluoride existing in drinking water is more likely to cause serious harm to humans than fluoride exposed alone. Therefore, defluorination of drinking water is the only feasible method to solve the problem of excessive fluoride in drinking water. At present, the defluorination methods of water body mainly include adsorption method, chemical precipitation method, ion exchange method, electric coagulation method, electrodialysis method, reverse osmosis method and membrane separation method, etc. Although these methods show good defluorination effect, they have problems such as high requirement for instruments, high detection cost, and limited scope of application in actual operation. Among various defluorination methods, the adsorption method is a more ideal and promising method than other technologies due to its convenient operation, low cost, and relative environmental friendliness. Therefore, it is of great significance to invent a new, simple, and efficient defluorination adsorbent.

[0003] The current maturely applied defluorination adsorbent is mainly active alumina, but this product has problems such as small specific surface area, low adsorption capacity (the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity is usually less than 10mg / g), only suitable for acidic range, poor recyclability, and high treatment cost. SUMMARY

[0004] Technical problems solved:

[0005] The technical problems solved by the present application can be divided into two aspects: 1) the deficiencies of traditional active alumina defluorination materials, such as low adsorption capacity and slow initial adsorption speed; and 2) overcoming the problems of new defluorination materials such as complex preparation process, high cost, potential toxic risk, and involving organic aluminum and high molecular template reagents. In view of the above technical problems, the application provides application of basic aluminum acetate in water treatment defluorination.

[0006] Technical scheme:

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme is as follows:

[0008] The application of basic aluminum acetate in water treatment defluorination specifically comprises the following steps:

[0009] First step: take 0.04g commercial basic aluminum acetate sample and place in a 50ml EP tube;

[0010] Second step: add 40ml, 10mg / L NaF solution to the above EP tube, mix well to prepare sample solution;

[0011] Third step: adjust the pH of the above sample solution to 3-6;

[0012] Fourth step: place the EP tube in a constant temperature shaking box and shake at room temperature for 20-24h.

[0013] Further, the preparation method of the 10mg / L NaF solution in the second step is to dissolve 2.21g NaF in 1000ml deionized water to prepare a 1g / L fluoride stock solution. The stock solution can be diluted to prepare a 10mg / L fluoride standard solution.

[0014] Further, the reagent for adjusting pH in the third step is 0.1mol / L NaOH and 0.1mol / L HNO3.

[0015] Further, the NaF is analytical grade.

[0016] Further, the concentration of fluoride ions measured after shaking for 20-24h is lower than 1.0mg / L.

[0017] The technical principle of the present application is that basic aluminum acetate is a white amorphous powder. It gradually loses the acetic acid smell and becomes alkaline when left for a long time or boiled in water. It is slightly soluble in alkali, difficult to dissolve in acid, insoluble in water, non-toxic, and prepared by the reaction of aluminum hydroxide and acetic acid. It is used as a mordant, printing agent and pharmaceutical industry, and there is no report of its use as a defluorination agent for water treatment. The principle of the above-mentioned basic aluminum acetate in the application of defluorination in water treatment is that in addition to the combination of aluminum in the reagent with fluorine, the carbonyl group of the acetic acid group can ion exchange with fluoride ions and produce C-F combination. When it is used for the removal of fluorine in water and wastewater, it has good effect, and the maximum adsorption capacity is as high as 27.7mg / g, which is significantly better than the traditional active alumina defluorination effect.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0020] 1.

[0021] 2. Compared with traditional aluminum oxide, the dosage is smaller, and the dosage of active aluminum oxide is 3-17 times more than that.

[0022] 3. The defluorination rate of the defluorination agent is more than 87% under the adsorption conditions of an initial fluorine ion concentration of 10 mg / L, an adsorbent dosage of 1 g / L and a pH of 5.

[0023] 4. The pH application range is wide, and the defluorination effect is significantly better than that of traditional active aluminum oxide.
