FeCl3 and other reagents are used in water treatment in a chemical industry park, and the main components of sludge incineration ash are oxides of Fe and Si. As a solid waste, the traditional treatment method of stacking and landfill not only occupies land, causes waste and pollutes the environment, and therefore the recycling of sludge incineration ash has become the main research direction.
[0003] CN105858838A discloses a sludge incineration source flocculant and a preparation method thereof. The sludge incineration material is used as a raw material, hydrochloric acid is added for dissolution, aluminum-iron chloride solution and filter residue are obtained, the filter residue is mixed with caustic soda for calcination, the obtained calcination product is dissolved with water to obtain a sodium silicate aqueous solution, and the sodium silicate aqueous solution and the aluminum-iron chloride solution are mixed to prepare a polysilicate aluminum-iron flocculant. The preparation process of the flocculant is complex, and high-temperature calcination is required, which consumes a large amount of energy. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a composite flocculant prepared from sludge incineration ash, and a preparation method and application thereof, which is helpful for solid waste recycling and environmental pollution control.
[0005] The technical solution of the present application is a composite flocculant prepared from sludge incineration ash, which comprises the following raw materials by weight: sludge incineration ash hydrolyzed polymer 75-80%, acid agent 5-15%, and activating agent 5-15%; wherein the sludge incineration ash hydrolyzed polymer is obtained by treating sludge incineration ash through magnetic separation, fine grinding, acidification and oxidation, and then adjusting the alkalinity for hydrolysis and polymerization.
[0006] Further preferably, the sludge incineration ash hydrolyzed polymer is 80%, the acid agent is 15%, and the activating agent is 5%.
[0007] Further, the acid agent is mixed by tannic acid, sodium silicate and dodecyl dihydroxyethyl betaine according to a mass ratio of 20-30:55-65:5-20. The mass ratio of tannic acid, sodium silicate and dodecyl dihydroxyethyl betaine in the acid agent is preferably 30:60:10. The activating agent is mixed by sodium alginate, slag powder and petroleum coke desulfurization ash according to a mass ratio of 3-5:45-55:40-52; the mass ratio of sodium alginate, slag powder and petroleum coke desulfurization ash is preferably 5:55:40. The particle size range of the slag powder is 0.05-0.15mm, and the particle size range of the petroleum coke desulfurization ash is 2-4nm.
[0008] The application also relates to a preparation method of the composite flocculant, which comprises the following steps:
[0009] S1, drying sludge incineration ash, then performing magnetic separation to obtain iron-containing magnetic sludge incineration ash, crushing and grinding the iron-containing magnetic sludge incineration ash, adding acid liquid to dissolve, then adding an oxidizing agent to oxidize, adjusting the pH of the filtrate to 1-2 after filtration, performing hydrolysis polymerization, and drying to obtain sludge incineration ash hydrolysis polymer;
[0010] S2, uniformly mixing the sludge incineration ash hydrolysis polymer, the acid agent and the activating agent to obtain the composite flocculant.
[0011] Further, the mass content of iron oxide in the magnetic sludge incineration ash in S1 is above 80%; the acid liquid is hydrochloric acid, and the oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide, and NaHCO3 is used to adjust the pH.
[0012] Further, the base degree is controlled to be 65%-70% during the hydrolysis polymerization.
[0013] The application also relates to application of the composite flocculant in sewage treatment.
[0014] Since the sludge incineration ash contains a large amount of heavy metals, the magnetic separation equipment is used for screening before treatment, and only the sludge incineration ash containing magnetic substances is recycled, which helps to improve the purity and quality of the product in the later stage. Through the setting of the magnetic separation step, the efficiency and utilization rate of Fe extraction are higher when the acid liquid is dissolved in the later stage, there is no filter residue, and calcination is not needed, and direct hydrothermal polymerization can be performed.
[0015] The reaction formula related to the sludge incineration ash hydrolysis polymer of the application is as follows:
[0016]
[0017] The magnetic sludge incineration ash is treated by acidification, the iron-containing minerals are dissolved into the acid liquid to form iron salts, Fe 2+ is oxidized to Fe 3+ , and then the pH is adjusted to Fe 3+Hydrolysis generates ferric hydroxide ions, which are then polymerized to form highly polymerized ferric hydroxide.
[0018] The composite flocculant prepared in this invention uses hydrolyzed polymers from sludge incineration ash as the main component, and also includes an acid and an activator. The addition of the acid helps with flocculation and antibacterial activity. Tannic acid itself is a flocculant, and it can react with Ca2+ introduced into the water by the flocculant, as well as Ca2+ already present in the water. 2+ Mg 2+ The combination of these compounds can effectively reduce water hardness. Furthermore, the phenolic hydroxyl groups in tannic acid can bind with the Fe atoms in the hydrolyzed polymers of sludge incineration ash. 3+ Al 3+ Complexation is beneficial to the stability of flocculants, and the specific reactions are shown in formulas (5), (6), and (7). Simultaneously, the presence of weak acids such as tannic acid and dodecyl dihydroxyethyl betaine helps maintain the pH of the treated water. The activated silicic acid in sodium silicate helps form the three-dimensional gel structure of the composite flocculant, enabling the flocculant to maintain its colloidal structure and also giving it a loose network structure, effectively enhancing the flocculation effect.

[0020] RO - +M n →[ROM] n-1 (6)
[0021] M n+ +H2R→RM n-2 +2H + (7)
[0022] The composite flocculant provided by this invention contains an activator with a small particle size, which has high activity and adsorption performance. It can effectively adsorb particles in water and hydrate to form calcium silicate gel, thereby increasing the specific gravity, accelerating the sedimentation rate, and further improving the flocculation performance.
[0023] The flocculant provided by this invention can be used for wastewater treatment, with good removal rates of suspended solids and COD, meeting the "Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB 8978-1996). Moreover, it is low in cost and achieves the goal of environmental friendliness and waste-to-waste treatment. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with examples, but those skilled in the art will understand that the following examples are only for illustration of the present application and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present application.
[0029] The sludge incineration ash in the following examples and comparative examples was taken from a certain riverfront chemical industrial park, which was in the form of fine particles and red-brown in color. After drying, it was ground and sieved, and its main element composition and mineral composition were as shown in Table 1.
[0030] Table 1
[0031]
[0032] The XRD pattern of the above ground and sieved sludge incineration ash raw material is shown in Figure 1 From Figure 1 it can be seen that its main components are Fe2O3 and Fe3O 4。
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Preparation of sludge incineration ash hydrolyzed polymer
[0035] The sludge incineration ash was subjected to magnetic separation, ball milling and sieving, and 100 g of undersize was added to a 6.27 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution at a solid-liquid ratio of 3.45, and reacted in a water bath at 72°C for 71 min. Hydrogen peroxide was added to oxidize Fe 2+ to Fe 3+ , wherein the concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 2.75 mol / L, and then the filtrate was obtained after filtration. NaHCO3 was added to adjust the pH of the filtrate to 2, and hydrolysis and polymerization were carried out for 24 h to obtain a red-brown flocculant solution, which was dried to obtain a sludge incineration ash hydrolyzed polymer.
[0036] The XRD pattern of the polymer is shown in Figure 2 , the XPS pattern is shown in Figure 3 , and the optical microscope pattern and SEM pattern are shown in Figure 4 (a) and (b), respectively.
