Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method and application of preparing a composite material for adsorbing methylene blue in dyeing and printing wastewater by modifying red mud, belonging to the field of solid waste resource utilization technology. Background Technology

[0002] Red mud, a major solid waste generated during alumina production, can be categorized into Bayer process red mud, sintering process red mud, and combined process red mud based on alumina quality and production technology. Red mud contains large amounts of metal oxides such as Fe2O3, Al2O3, and TiO2, making it a potential effective material for treating water pollutants. In 2022, China's alumina production increased to over 80 million tons, with red mud production exceeding 100 million tons and utilization reaching over 8 million tons, an increase of nearly 40% compared to 2021. Reports indicate that by 2025, the comprehensive utilization rate of newly generated major solid wastes should reach 60%. However, red mud, as one of the most difficult-to-treat major solid wastes, currently has a comprehensive utilization rate of only 7-8%, far lower than other major industrial solid wastes. Large amounts of red mud cannot be effectively recycled and are instead dumped, wasting land resources. If the comprehensive utilization rate of red mud cannot be significantly improved, it will have a significant impact on industry, hindering normal production. Furthermore, improperly treated red mud can cause serious pollution to soil, water resources, and the atmosphere. Therefore, improving its comprehensive utilization rate is key to solving the problem of large-scale red mud accumulation.

[0003] Dyeing and printing wastewater refers to the wastewater generated during the dyeing and printing processes in the dyeing and printing industry. It contains large amounts of organic dyes and other harmful substances, posing serious threats to the environment and human health. Organic dyes are organic compounds containing numerous benzene rings, phenolic hydroxyl groups, and amino groups, exhibiting strong toxicity and bioaccumulation. Their main hazards are as follows: First, organic dyes contain large amounts of benzene ring compounds and phenolic hydroxyl groups, which are highly toxic and carcinogenic, causing long-term harm to the environment and human health. Second, the discharge of organic dyes into dyeing and printing wastewater leads to changes in water color and increases in COD (chemical oxygen demand), affecting water transparency and quality, and causing water pollution. Therefore, effective measures are needed to mitigate the environmental pollution caused by dyeing and printing wastewater.

[0004] Treatment methods for dye wastewater include physical, chemical, and biological methods. Among these, biological methods are currently considered the most effective and environmentally friendly, encompassing traditional activated sludge processes, biofilm processes, and microbial combustion technologies. In recent years, research on biological methods has increasingly focused on the screening and improvement of microorganisms to enhance treatment efficiency and reduce costs. Chemical methods are also effective for dye wastewater treatment. These methods primarily decompose dye molecules through oxidation and reduction reactions, but they require significant energy and chemical consumption, and the resulting waste also necessitates treatment, leading to higher costs. In contrast, physical methods are simpler to operate, requiring less complex equipment and technology, and allowing for the selection of different physical treatment methods, such as filtration, sedimentation, and adsorption, depending on the specific circumstances. However, their treatment efficiency is lower, and they are typically used as supplementary methods to other treatment approaches. In conclusion, while dye wastewater treatment technologies have seen significant development and application, issues such as low efficiency and high costs persist. Therefore, continuous research and innovation are needed to improve treatment efficiency, reduce costs, minimize environmental impact, and achieve efficient treatment and resource utilization of dye wastewater.

[0005] For example, patent CN106669751A discloses a method for treating methylene blue dye wastewater, which requires acid-base modification of red mud, potentially generating secondary pollutants and harming the environment. Patent document CN113351173A discloses a humic acid-containing magnetic adsorbent material and its preparation method and application, using red mud or sludge as the iron source. The prepared adsorbent material exhibits excellent magnetic properties, strong chemical stability, and superior regeneration performance; however, the preparation process is cumbersome, requiring modification treatment under three different thermal environments, resulting in high energy consumption. Therefore, a method for preparing and applying a hydrothermal carbon-humic acid-red mud composite material has been developed. This method is not only simple but also avoids the use of oxidants or organic solvents, preventing secondary pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for preparing a novel composite material from red mud combined with sucrose and humic acid, and for adsorbing and treating methylene blue (MB) in dyeing and printing wastewater. The method employs hydrothermal synthesis, utilizing the abundant metal oxides in red mud and the hydrothermal carbon material formed by sucrose, along with humic acid for doping, followed by activation to enhance the active sites, thereby purifying the methylene blue in dyeing and printing wastewater.

[0007] To address the issue of low utilization rate of red mud, this invention uses red mud as raw material, adds sucrose and humic acid, and prepares a novel adsorbent through simple hydrothermal carbonization and activation. This adsorbent has better adsorption properties, effectively removing methylene blue from dyeing and printing wastewater, reducing red mud pollution, lowering environmental remediation costs, and realizing the resource utilization of red mud.

[0008] A composite material for adsorbing methylene blue in dyeing and printing wastewater was prepared by combining red mud with sucrose and humic acid. The specific preparation steps are as follows:

[0009] (1) Dry the red mud in an oven to constant weight, grind the dried red mud and pass it through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain red mud powder for later use.

[0010] (2) The red mud powder from step (1) is roasted and activated to obtain magnetic red mud.

[0011] (3) Mix the magnetic red mud from step (2) with sucrose and humic acid and add deionized water (there are no special requirements for the amount of deionized water used as a solvent; just make sure that the magnetic red mud, sucrose and humic acid are fully mixed). After ultrasonic dispersion, place it in a constant temperature magnetic stirrer at room temperature.

[0012] (4) Place the mixture in step (3) into a reaction vessel for hydrothermal reaction. After the reaction is completed, cool it naturally to obtain a reaction solution. Filter, wash, dry and grind the reaction solution to obtain a hydrothermal carbon-humic acid red mud composite material.

[0013] Preferably, the drying temperature of the red mud in step (1) is 100~110℃.

[0014] Preferably, the calcination activation in step (2) is carried out under N2 atmosphere, with the temperature increased to 400-600℃ at a heating rate of 5℃ / min for 2 hours.

[0015] Preferably, the mass ratio of red mud, humic acid and sucrose in step (3) is 1:0.1~1:1~2.

[0016] Preferably, the ultrasonic dispersion time in step (3) is 10 to 30 minutes and the stirring time is 1 to 2 hours.

[0017] Preferably, the magnetic stirring speed in step (3) is 300-500 rpm.

[0018] Preferably, the hydrothermal reaction in step (4) is carried out at 140-220℃ for 8-16 hours.

[0019] Preferably, the drying in step (4) is carried out at 60-100°C for 12 hours; the washing in step (4) is carried out using deionized water until the washing liquid is clear.

[0020] The hydrothermal carbon-humic acid red mud composite material prepared by this invention can adsorb methylene blue in dyeing and printing wastewater. The process includes the following steps: adding the hydrothermal carbon-humic acid red mud composite material to wastewater containing methylene blue, with an addition amount of 0.1 g / L to 0.5 g / L and an adsorption time of 10 h to 12 h.

[0021] Beneficial effects of the present invention

[0022] (1) This invention utilizes red mud loaded with sucrose and humic acid carbon materials to adsorb and treat methylene blue in dyeing and printing wastewater. Compared with hydrothermal carbon adsorbent materials formed by red mud or sucrose alone, it has better pore structure and selectivity, which can improve the removal rate of methylene blue wastewater and provide a new method for the resource utilization of red mud.

[0023] (2) The preparation method of the present invention is simple, the material is magnetic and easy to recycle, the preparation process does not produce toxic and harmful by-products, it can be mass-produced and meets the requirements of environmental protection.

[0024] (3) The addition of humic acid in this invention promotes the formation of hydrothermal carbon, which enables sucrose humic acid to better modify the red mud and load it onto the red mud, thereby enhancing the surface area and active sites of the material and further improving the adsorption effect.

[0025] (4) The present invention utilizes the method of “using waste to treat waste”, which not only improves the utilization rate of red mud, but also reduces the process cost and reduces the pollution to the environment.

[0026] (5) The addition of renewable carbon precursor sucrose in this invention provides a richer carbon source, which improves the adsorption effect and has significant properties such as environmental protection, low cost and easy production.

[0027] (6) The preparation process of this invention only requires treatment in two thermal environments, which is relatively simple, saves energy, and does not affect the adsorption effect of hydrothermal carbon-humic acid red mud composite material on methylene blue. Attached Figure Description

[0089] Example 7

[0090] The effect of different mass ratios of red mud-modified novel composite materials on methylene blue removal rate.

[0091] The materials prepared using Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested. The application of the novel red mud-modified composite material in the adsorption of methylene blue in wastewater treatment specifically involves using the prepared composite material to treat methylene blue in wastewater, including the following steps:

[0092] 40 mg of the novel red mud-modified composite material was placed in 100 ml of a solution with a methylene blue concentration of 50 mg / L. The mixture was reacted for 10 h under light-protected conditions. The concentration of methylene blue in the solution was measured, and the removal efficiency of the novel red mud-modified composite material for methylene blue was calculated. The results are as follows: Figure 4 The graphs show the adsorption effect of different modified red mud composite materials on methylene blue, and Table 1 shows the effect of red mud modified new composite materials obtained from raw materials with different mass ratios on the methylene blue removal rate.

[0093] Table 1

[0094]

When sucrose and humic acid are added simultaneously, and the ratio of red mud, sucrose, and humic acid is 1:1:0.5, the removal rate reaches over 97%. This indicates that the novel red mud-modified composite material prepared by this invention can significantly reduce the concentration of methylene blue in water pollution and reduce environmental damage.
