Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and particularly relates to a mineral composite fluorine removal material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fluoride pollution of water has been recognized as one of the most serious problems worldwide. The industrial wastewater discharge standard of China requires that the mass concentration of fluoride therein is below 10 mg / L. According to the regulation of the World Health Organization, the concentration of fluoride in drinking water exceeding 1.5 mg / L will cause harm to human health, and long-term drinking of high-fluoride water will cause dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis. In view of the toxic effect of fluoride on human health, it is very urgent to find an effective and reliable technology to remove excessive fluoride in water environment. There are various technologies for removing fluoride in water environment, and the commonly used ones are precipitation method, membrane method and adsorption method. Compared with the precipitation method and the membrane method, the adsorption method has been proved to be a practical method for removing excessive fluoride in drinking water, because it has the advantages of low cost, easy operation, high removal rate and reusable adsorbent. However, the selection of adsorbent in the adsorption method is a key problem.

[0003] Magnesium oxide has good electrostatic attraction, is a suitable adsorbent for anions, and is cheap, environmentally friendly, non-toxic, has the least impact on the environment, and has low solubility.

Artificial zeolite is composed of silicates and aluminates, has a porous structure and a highly regular crystal structure, has a large specific surface area, and has good adsorption performance. The magnesium oxide is loaded on the zeolite to combine the advantages of the two materials and synthesize a new material with better adsorption performance. However, the system is not mature at present, and relevant studies show that the property of the zeolite loaded with magnesium oxide is unstable, and a large amount of magnesium ions will seep out during the fluorine removal process, which brings new problems to water treatment.

[0057] To better illustrate the performance and defluorination effect of the mineral composite defluorination material prepared in this invention, the applicant conducted the following research:

[0058] 1. Microscopic morphology characterization of mineral composite defluorination materials

[0059] Characterization of mineral composite defluorination materials: including SEM, TEM, XRD, and BET to characterize the morphology and crystal phase of the materials.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the addition of zeolite forms smaller, porous magnesium oxide particles, which is more conducive to the adsorbent's absorption of F. - The adsorption occurs. The adsorbent after adsorption exhibits a sheet-like morphology.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, Zeo 20 The peaks of the MgO material are in the same position as those of MgO, indicating that the main component of the composite material is MgO. However, the peaks of the material are all wider than those of MgO, and the peaks of MgO become lower and lower as the zeolite content increases, which may be due to the addition of zeolite.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the average specific surface area of ​​MgO is 32.07 m². 2 / g, with an average pore size of 31.76nm, Zeo 20 The average specific surface area of ​​the MgO material is 45.44 m². 2 / g, with an average pore size of 26.00nm. The addition of zeolite can give the material a higher specific surface area and a smaller pore size, which is beneficial for the material to react with F. - Adsorption. It should be noted that the specific surface area and pore size of zeolite cannot be measured.

[0063] 2. Adsorption performance test of mineral composite defluorination materials

[0064] Adsorption experiment: The fluoride ion adsorption effect of the synthesized composite mineral was determined. 1 g / L of the composite mineral was added to a 100 mg / L fluoride solution and stirred for 12 hours to reach adsorption equilibrium. After centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was collected, and the fluoride concentration in the liquid was measured using a fluoride electrode. - Concentration, based on the F concentration in the solution before and after adsorption. - The concentration difference was used to calculate the effect of the composite mineral on F. - The adsorption capacity was determined. The effects of adsorbent mass, ionic strength, adsorption time, impurity ion concentration (NaCl), and pH on the adsorption effect were measured.

[0065] Mg 2+ Exudation test: using MgO and Zeo 20 -MgO and two other materials adsorb F in the solution - F - The concentration of the adsorbent was 1 g / L and the concentration of the adsorbent was 100 ppm. Samples were taken at adsorption times of 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, and 6 h, and filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane. The Mg content in the solution was then measured. 2+ The concentration.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in the MgO of Comparative Example 1 and the MgO of Examples 1-5, Zeo 20 -MgO materials have the best defluorination effect.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, Zeo 20 -MgO materials have a higher adsorption capacity than MgO and Zeolite, and the adsorption capacity for F increases with increasing adsorbent mass. - The adsorption capacity also increases accordingly.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that with F - With increasing concentration, the adsorbent's effect on F - The adsorption capacity of Zeo also increases accordingly, and 20 - The adsorption capacity of MgO material is higher than that of MgO and Zeolite.

[0069] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, Zeo 20- The MgO material has the fastest fluorine adsorption rate in the first 60 minutes of adsorption, and the rate slows down but still shows an upward trend. The adsorption rate reaches more than 90% at 360 minutes, while the adsorption amount of MgO shows a downward trend after 180 minutes.

[0070] like Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the NaCl concentration has little effect on the fluoride absorption of the adsorbent, indicating that the mineral composite fluoride removal material has salt resistance.

[0071] like Figure 10 As shown, Zeo 20 - The adsorption capacity of the MgO material was higher than that of the control group. Under strongly acidic conditions (pH=3), the adsorption effect of the adsorbent was the best, with an adsorption rate of 96.71%. Under strongly alkaline conditions (pH=11), the effect was the worst. Even at pH=9, the adsorption rate reached more than 90%.

[0072] like Figure 11 As shown in the figure, from the O1s spectrum, the bond energies of Mg-O and Mg-OH before adsorption are 530 eV and 532 eV, respectively, with little difference in their contents. However, the adsorbed F... - The peak is located around 532 eV, and the peak at 530 eV disappears, containing only Mg-OH. These results indicate that during adsorption, MgO reacts with water to form Mg(OH)2, and then Mg(OH)2 reacts with F... - Further reactions.

[0073] like Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the adsorption of F - The appearance of peak 3693 in the complex later confirmed that the formation of -OH favors F - Adsorption.

[0074] like Figure 13 As shown in the figure, the adsorption of F - The appearance of peak 3693 in the complex later confirmed that the formation of -OH favors F - Adsorption.

[0075] like Figure 14 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that with the increase of adsorption time, Zeo 20 -MgO material Mg 2+ The leaching rate is much lower than that of MgO materials. Within 2-5 hours of adsorption, Zeo 20 -MgO material Mg 2+ The exudate concentration is no higher than 0.7 mg / L.

[0076] 3. Antibacterial properties of mineral composite defluorination materials

[0077] Antibacterial test: The antibacterial properties of magnesium oxide-zeolite composites were evaluated using the plate coating method.

[0078] like Figure 14 and 15 As shown, it can be seen from Zeo 20 -MgO materials showed good antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
