Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of soil heavy metal remediation, in particular to a preparation method and application of a mechanically activated sepiolite material, and especially to a soil Cd pollution remediation technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] In-situ passivation remediation technology can be carried out under the premise of ensuring normal crop production, has little impact on the soil environment, has a wide range of applications, and shows certain advantages in the remediation of large-area Cd-contaminated soil. In-situ passivation refers to changing the physicochemical properties of soil or directly fixing heavy metals by adding safe and green passivation agents without changing the total amount of heavy metals in soil, so as to reduce the availability of heavy metals in soil to below the safety limit. Therefore, selecting appropriate passivation materials is the key to ensuring the effect of in-situ passivation remediation. Sepiolite is a natural layered chain fibrous porous magnesium silicate clay mineral. Compared with other clay minerals, sepiolite has a high specific surface area and physicochemical activity on the surface, and has the potential to fix heavy metals. At the same time, natural sepiolite contains sufficient CaCO3 and (CaMg (CO3)2), which has the potential to increase the pH value of soil, helps to increase the net negative charge of soil, promotes hydroxyl combination, and reduces the bioavailability of Cd in soil through precipitation. Therefore, sepiolite is considered to be a promising passivation agent in removing Cd.

[0003] However, natural sepiolite is currently mainly used in removing Cd, and is only crushed for use. The natural sepiolite in the prior art has low heavy metal affinity, unstable removal effect, relatively low adsorption performance, and low utilization rate of sepiolite. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method and application of a mechanically activated sepiolite material with stable Cd removal effect, relatively high adsorption performance, and high utilization rate of sepiolite.

[0005] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows:

[0009] S3, mechanical activation in a ball mill.

[0010] Preferably, S1 selects sepiolite raw ore as natural sepiolite with a mass content of 41%.

[0011] Preferably, the crushing treatment of S1 is that the sepiolite raw ore is crushed and coarsely ground to obtain powdery sepiolite; and the powdery sepiolite is passed through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain fine powder sepiolite.

[0012] Preferably, the acid of S2 is hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid or citric acid.

[0013] Preferably, the concentration of the dilute hydrochloric acid is 1 mol / L.

[0014] Preferably, in the mechanical activation process in the ball mill, the ball mill barrel is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material, the grinding balls are all made of zirconia material, the grinding balls are mixed materials of large, medium and small balls, the particle size ratio of the large, medium and small balls is about 2:2:3, the ball-to-material mass ratio is 10:1, the revolution speed of the ball mill is 320 r / min, and the rotation speed is 550 r / min; the mechanical activation is performed for 2 h to obtain the mechanically activated sepiolite.

[0015] Preferably, the diameters of the large, medium and small balls are 3 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm, respectively.

[0016] An application of a sepiolite material based on a mechanical activation technology is used for repairing Cd-polluted soil.

[0017] The beneficial technical effects brought by the present application are as follows:

[0018] (1) The present application aims at the problems of easy agglomeration, poor stability, low repair efficiency and long repair period of the existing natural sepiolite applied in heavy metal removal, and improves the affinity of the natural sepiolite to heavy metals and the high selectivity to Cd through the mechanical activation method, so that the heavy metal removal efficiency is greatly improved, and the repair period is shortened.

[0019] (2) The present application strengthens the Cd removal capacity of the natural sepiolite, and the preparation process is simple, the operation condition is mild, and no strong acid needs to be added in the preparation process, so that the present application is easier to realize.

[0020] (3) The present application has stable Cd removal effect, relatively high adsorption performance, and high utilization rate of sepiolite, and the mechanically activated sepiolite can be directly applied to the heavy metal-polluted soil, so that the repair efficiency and repair effect are better than those of the prior art.

[0030] 12, The natural sepiolite with a sepiolite content of 41% is selected in the application, is crushed and coarsely ground into sepiolite powder with a larger particle size; the sepiolite powder is passed through a 100-mesh screen to obtain fine powder sepiolite; the fine powder sepiolite is mixed with 1 mol / L dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl), phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and citric acid (C6H8O7) respectively according to a mass ratio (sepiolite: acid = 1:10), is uniformly stirred at room temperature by using a magnetic stirrer, and is intermittently supplemented with dilute hydrochloric acid under stirring conditions until the pH value of the mixed solution is stabilized at about 3. A circulating water type multi-purpose vacuum pump and a Buchner funnel are used for filtration to obtain a filter cake.

[0031] 13, 0.01 g of sepiolite treated by the three kinds of acids respectively, 20 mg·L -1Cd(II) solution 20 mL (the solid-liquid ratio of the material is 0.5 g / L), adjust the pH of the solution system to 7.0, the background electrolyte is 0.01 mol / L NaNO3, under the condition of 25°C and 200r / min continuous shaking. At the adsorption time of 0, 1, 5, 30, 150, 300 min, the supernatant is taken to determine the concentration difference of Cd solution before and after the adsorption of the material, and the material after the reaction is reserved to determine the adsorption capacity change of the material to Cd(II). Three repeated experiments are set. At the same time, a blank control without adding material is set. The adsorption kinetics of the experimental structure is analyzed. The analysis results are shown in Figure 2 It can be seen from Figure 2 that the adsorption capacity of the citric acid treated sepiolite to Cd is the largest, and the adsorption performance is the best.

[0032] (II) Mechanical activation treatment of sepiolite

The fine powder sepiolite is mechanically activated in the ball mill for 2h to obtain the mechanically activated sepiolite.

[0034] 22.

[0035] 23.
