Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water treatment technology, specifically relating to a conductive wood-based filter, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Water pollution is a pressing global environmental problem that urgently needs to be addressed. Common pollutants in water mainly include organic pollutants and heavy metal pollutants. Unlike organic pollutants, heavy metal pollutants cannot be degraded and can accumulate through the food chain, increasing in concentration by hundreds or even tens of thousands of times, ultimately posing a serious threat to human health. Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a heavy metal pollutant that can exist stably in the aquatic environment, is easily absorbed and accumulated by living organisms, and has very strong carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, classifying it as a Group 1 carcinogen. Chromium is widely used in industries such as electroplating, leather making, and mining, generating large amounts of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater. Furthermore, improper treatment of this industrial wastewater allows large amounts of Cr(VI)-containing pollutants to enter the aquatic environment, causing Cr(VI) pollution problems in natural water bodies and posing a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health.
[0003] Removing Cr(VI) from water has always been an important research direction in the field of environmental water treatment. Currently, the main method for removing Cr(VI) from water is to first reduce Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III), and then remove it through processes such as precipitation or adsorption. Studies have found that nano-zero-valent iron has excellent reducing and adsorption capabilities for Cr(VI), and due to its environmentally friendly characteristics, it shows broad research prospects in the field of Cr(VI) detoxification and removal.
[0004] However, nano-zero valent iron has the problems of easy particle agglomeration and high resistance to electron transfer during the reaction process; moreover, the powder material also faces the disadvantage of difficult recycling in practical applications; in addition, due to its small particle size and high reactivity, nano-zero valent iron is prone to react with water and oxygen, forming an iron oxide passivation layer on the particle surface, which hinders the electron transfer between zero valent iron particles and pollutants, causing its treatment performance to drop sharply. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a conductive wood-based filter, its preparation method, and its application. The conductive wood-based filter provided by this invention can avoid the problems of agglomeration of nano-zero valent iron and high electron transfer resistance, and can also effectively alleviate the oxidation and passivation of nano-zero valent iron, and is easy to recycle.

[0099] An electrochemical-assisted filtration system was constructed using a conductive balsa wood-based filter 3 as the cathode and a titanium mesh as the anode. Water containing Cr(VI) was then pumped through the conductive balsa wood-based filter under an applied electric field. The system treated an aqueous solution containing 20 ppm of Cr(VI) at an operating voltage of -1V and a flow rate of 2.0 mL / min. The overall treatment effect during the 4-hour operation is shown in Table 3.
[0100] Application Example 6
[0101] The steps are the same as in Application Example 5, except that the operating voltage is -2V.
[0102] Application Comparative Example 5
[0103] The steps are the same as in Application Example 5, except that no electric field is applied.
[0104] Application Comparative Example 6
[0105] The steps are the same as in Application Example 5, except that no electric field is applied and an unmodified multi-walled carbon nanotube and nano-zero valent iron balsa wood matrix is used as the cathode.
[0106] Table 3 shows the treatment effects of application examples 5-6 and comparative examples 5-6.

[0108] As can be seen from Table 3, under the condition of applying an electric field, the removal rate of 20 ppm Cr(VI) aqueous solution treated by the balsa wood-based filter of the present invention is greater than that without applying an electric field, with the highest removal rate reaching 99.7%. Under the condition of not applying an electric field, the removal rate of 20 ppm Cr(VI) aqueous solution treated by the balsa wood-based filter of the present invention is much greater than that of balsa wood matrix without modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes and nano-zero valent iron.
