[0057] To further illustrate the present invention, the technical solutions provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0058] Example 1
[0059] Mg was prepared by supersaturated coprecipitation method 2+ -Al 3+ -NO 3- To treat LDHs, the steps are as follows: Weigh 15.36g of magnesium nitrate hexahydrate and 7.5g of aluminum nitrate nonahydrate and dissolve them in 50mL of ultrapure water. At this point, Mg... 2+ And Al 3+ The concentrations were 1.2M and 0.4M, with a molar ratio of 3:1. 25 mL of 30% ammonia solution was taken and diluted to 50 mL to obtain a 6M ammonia solution. Under continuous stirring, the nitrate solution was added dropwise to the 6M ammonia solution at a flow rate of approximately 10 drops / min, maintaining the pH of the reaction system above 10. After 1 hour, a white suspension was obtained and allowed to age at room temperature for 24 hours. Subsequently, it was centrifuged at 8000 rpm / min for 30 minutes, and the bottom precipitate was removed. After repeated washing with ultrapure water, it was dehydrated in a vacuum freeze dryer for three days. After complete drying, it was ground through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain LDHs, which were stored in a sealed bag for later use.
[0060] First, soil and groundwater contaminated with PFASs, petroleum hydrocarbons, and benzene compounds were artificially prepared. The specific method was as follows: For petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, 6.5g of petroleum was dissolved in n-hexane and sprayed evenly onto the soil surface while continuously stirring. All the petroleum was added to the soil, and stirring continued for 10–20 minutes to complete the preparation of the petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. After 24 hours, the soil organic matter or particles reached adsorption equilibrium with the petroleum hydrocarbons, simulating actual petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. The concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons in the contaminated soil was 8600 mg / kg.
[0061] Subsequently, PFASs-contaminated water was prepared using sterilized nutrient salt solution as a solvent to simulate groundwater pollution. The two PFASs used were PFOS and TFBA, and the concentrations of both PFOS and TFBA in the prepared PFAS-contaminated water were 10 ppm. In the prepared PFASs-contaminated water body, the content of each component in the nutrients was calculated based on 1 L of PFASs-contaminated water body. That is, the nutrients in 1 L of PFASs-contaminated water body are 17.698 g / L Na2HPO4·12H2O, 1 g / L NH4Cl, 3 g / L KH2PO4, 0.5 g / L NaCl, 1 mmol SO4 1 mL, 2.5 mL of trace element aqueous solution, and 1 mg / L resazurin, which were sterilized. Among them, the 2.5 mL trace element aqueous solution contains 20 mg / L NiCl2·6H2O, 23 mg / L MnCl2·2H2O, 31 mg / L H3BO3, 36 mg / L CoCl2·6H2O, 50 mg / L ZnCl2, 210 mg / L CuCl2·2H2O, 30 mg / L MnCl4·H2O, and 30 mg / L Na2Mo4·2H2O, with pH=7.0.
[0062] Petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and nutrient-rich PFAS-contaminated water were mixed in a 250mL anaerobic clamp-top flask, containing 30g of soil and 160mL of contaminated water. Benzene and ethylbenzene were added to bring the concentrations of benzene and ethylbenzene in the contaminated water to 100ppm and 1612.5ppm respectively, and the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons to 1612.5ppm respectively. The flask was immediately capped with a butyl rubber stopper and the aluminum cap was pressed firmly to complete the preparation of the contaminated system. Three replicates were configured for the remediation system.
[0063] The remediation system was placed at 28℃ and 180 rpm / min and shaken for 24 hours, during which time the pollutants reached equilibrium in the soil, water, and gas phases. Samples were taken after standing for 2–5 hours and recorded as day 0 of the remediation system. Sampling details were as follows: 10 mL of aqueous phase was used for petroleum hydrocarbon determination (analytical method reference HJ 894-2017), 2 mL of aqueous phase was used for benzene series compound determination (analytical method reference HJ 639-2012), and 2 mL of aqueous phase was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane for PFASs determination. Samples were taken at 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 days to measure the changes in the concentration of composite pollutants and characterize the remediation effect. At day 42, 10 mg of the LDHs prepared in this example was added, and samples were taken at 6 hours and 24 hours to measure the concentration of each pollutant. Finally, the remediation was completed at day 60, and the changes in the concentration of each pollutant were measured.
