Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater purification and treatment in environmental protection, and specifically relates to a method for removing algae based on a magnetic cellulose electrocoagulation system. Background Technology

[0002] Microcystis aeruginosa is a highly toxic algae that can have severe ecological consequences when it proliferates rapidly. Its growth reduces water transparency and negatively impacts photosynthesis in aquatic organisms. Furthermore, when Microcystis aeruginosa proliferates or decomposes in large quantities, it releases pollutants that pose a threat to human and animal health. Finally, an excessive presence of Microcystis aeruginosa can affect the odor and taste of water, leading to water quality deterioration.

[0003] Common methods for treating Microcystis aeruginosa include physical control, chemical control, and biological control. Chemical control is a frequently used method, involving the use of chemicals such as copper sulfate and chlorides to inhibit and eliminate algae growth in water. While widely used, this method has the drawback of potentially causing secondary pollution from residual chemicals, which can have harmful effects on humans and other organisms. To overcome the limitations of chemical algae removal, electrochemical methods have emerged as alternatives in recent years. This technology utilizes electrochemical reactions to generate strong oxidants, which not only eliminate Microcystis aeruginosa but also promote the partial decomposition of algal metabolites. Electrocoagulation is a method for treating pollutants in water based on electrochemical principles. It utilizes the potential and concentration differences between electrodes to cause pollutant molecules to aggregate onto the electrodes, where they are then agglomerated or oxidized into harmless substances. Compared to traditional chemical and physical treatment methods, electrocoagulation offers advantages such as high efficiency, environmental friendliness, wide applicability, and simple operation, showing significant effectiveness in degrading pollutants in water. However, current electrochemical algae removal technologies consume excessive energy, necessitating further research into the mechanisms of algae removal and how to reduce energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The Napier grass samples were collected from an experimental base. First, the collected Napier grass was thoroughly washed and then dried completely at 80℃. Subsequently, the dried sample was pulverized and sieved to a mesh size of 0.15 mm.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] The pretreatment of Napier grass, its cellulose extraction process, and the preparation process of magnetic cellulose materials are the same as in Example 1.

[0055] Magnetic cellulose solutions with concentrations of 0.02 g / L, 0.04 g / L, 0.06 g / L, and 0.08 g / L were prepared respectively.

Samples were taken at 5, 10, 15, 30, and 45 minutes after the start of the experiment; the test results are shown below. Figure 6 As shown.

[0058] The magnetic cellulose electrocoagulation material prepared above, with a concentration of 0.04 g / L, was added to 250 ml of the above-mentioned mixed aqueous solution of Microcystis aeruginosa electrolyte (3.7*10). 6 The algae were added to a solution containing 4.0 g / L Na₂SO₄ at a cell density of 100 cells / ml, and stirred at 700 rpm on a multi-stage digital display magnetic stirrer.

The test results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0059] Example 4

[0060] The pretreatment of Napier grass, its cellulose extraction process, and the preparation process of magnetic cellulose materials are the same as in Example 1.

[0061] The magnetic cellulose electrocoagulation material prepared above with a concentration of 0.04 g / L was added to 250 ml of the above-mentioned mixed aqueous solution of Microcystis aeruginosa electrolyte (3.7*10). 6 Algal cell density (cells / ml) and 4.0 g / L Na2SO4 were added and stirred at 700 rpm on a multi-stage digital display magnetic stirrer. A 0.45 A current was applied, and the pH was adjusted to 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Samples were taken and tested at 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, and 45 min after the start of the experiment. The test results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown.

[0062] Figure 1 Here are SEM images of magnetic cellulose before and after the reaction, from... Figure 1 As shown in a, 1b, and 1c, before the electrochemical reaction, the surface of the magnetic cellulose has a large number of relatively uniform Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Figure 1 As shown in d, 1b, and 1c, the surface of magnetic cellulose undergoes oxidation during operation in an electrochemical system, leading to changes in its pore structure. This change results in a surface transition from smooth to rough, providing a larger contact area and more adhesion sites, thereby increasing the rate of electrochemical reactions. Furthermore, the rough surface structure accommodates more active sites and a more complex interfacial arrangement, thus improving mass transfer efficiency. When magnetic cellulose is used as a three-dimensional particulate electrode in an electrochemical algae removal system, these modifications enhance its stability and durability.

[0063] Figure 2 These are SEM images of algal cells in different systems from Example 1. Figure 2 As can be seen from a, the control group contained a large number of structurally intact algal cells, all of which exhibited high activity. For example... Figure 2 As shown in Figure b, when magnetic cellulose was used as the particulate electrode in the electrochemical system, a large number of algal cells were observed to be removed. The remaining algal cells showed wrinkled surfaces, indicating that their activity and overall cellular structure were damaged, or even completely lost. Therefore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis effectively revealed the removal effect of the three-dimensional electrochemical magnetic cellulose system on Microcystis aeruginosa. Figure 2 As shown in Figure c, a significant decrease in cell number was observed when an electric current was applied to the algal cells. This indicates that electrical stimulation damages the algal cell structure, thereby effectively achieving algae removal. The surviving algal cells had relatively smooth surfaces and showed signs of apoptosis.

[0064] Figure 3 These are XPS images of the magnetic fibers before and after the reaction, from... Figure 3It can be seen that Fe, O and C coexist after cellulose modification, and the elemental changes after the reaction are very small. Figure 3 As shown in Figure b, the peaks at 710.0 and 724.6 eV correspond to Fe(III)2p 3 / 2 and Fe(III)2p1 / 2, respectively, while the peaks at 708.5 eV and 722.5 eV correspond to Fe(II)2p 3 / 2 and Fe(II)2p1 / 2, respectively. These results are consistent with the Fe 2p XPS spectra of Fe3O4 reported elsewhere, indicating that Fe3O4 was successfully loaded after cellulose modification. Furthermore, Fe... 3+ / Fe 2+ The area ratio is approximately 0.5, which is consistent with the stoichiometry of Fe3O4 reported in the literature, irrefutably demonstrating the stability and near-complete retention of the supported material.

[0065] Figure 4 The graphs show the removal effects of different systems on Microcystis aeruginosa in Example 1. Figure 4 It was found that adding magnetic cellulose alone had a weak ability to remove algal cell density; the removal rate within 45 minutes was less than 10%. In contrast, electrolysis alone could remove some algal cells, with a removal rate of 45.2% after 45 minutes. Meanwhile, within the same time frame, the removal rates of cellulose and Fe3O4 particle electrodes were 44.3% and 66.1%, respectively, with the electrochemical system incorporating magnetic cellulose showing the best performance. The three-dimensional particle electrode using magnetic cellulose was able to completely remove algal cells within 45 minutes, highlighting the significantly improved removal efficiency of the electrochemical system for Microcystis aeruginosa.

[0066] Figure 5 The figures show the removal efficiency of chlorophyll a from Microcystis aeruginosa under different systems. When magnetic cellulose was used alone, the removal rate of chlorophyll a within 5 minutes was 14.2%, while the removal rates of electrolysis and electrolysis with magnetic fibers were 36.1% and 71.9%, respectively. The granular electrode system filled with magnetic cellulose showed the highest removal rate of chlorophyll a within 5 minutes, demonstrating a significant effect. Chlorophyll a was observed to be completely removed within 30 minutes, indicating that magnetic cellulose as a granular electrode is more effective than cellulose and Fe3O4. The results show that the three-dimensional electrochemical magnetic cellulose system extensively disrupts the algal cell membrane, causing chlorophyll a to leak from the cells into the solution, where it is subsequently decomposed through electrochemical oxidation. After electrolysis, some inactivated algal cells remained relatively intact, but the chlorophyll a within them had leaked into the solution through the damaged cell membrane and cell wall. Therefore, the removal rate of chlorophyll a was higher than that of algal cell density.

[0067] Figure 6 The graph shows the removal efficiency of different concentrations of magnetic cellulose for removing Microcystis aeruginosa in Example 2. Figure 6As shown, the system achieved the highest removal rate of *Microcystis aeruginosa* when the concentration of magnetic cellulose as the particulate electrode was 0.04 g / L. With increasing particulate electrode concentration, the three-dimensional electrochemical reaction region and active sites expanded, thereby improving mass transfer efficiency. However, when the amount of magnetic cellulose was excessive, the continuous increase in particulate electrode concentration eventually weakened the system's ability to remove algal cells. The electrode may be overloaded, resulting in side effects and thus affecting the removal efficiency of the three-dimensional electrochemical magnetic cellulose system for algal cells. Studies on chlorophyll a removal also showed that the removal effect was optimal when the magnetic cellulose concentration was 0.04 g / L.

[0068] Figure 7 The graph shows the removal efficiency of Microcystis aeruginosa at different current densities in Example 3. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the three-dimensional electrochemical magnetic cellulose system is significantly affected when the current density is too low. In this case, the removal rate of algal cells is approximately 10% within 45 minutes. Insufficient current density hinders the stimulating effect of the electrochemical system on algal cells, thus failing to fully utilize the synergistic effect between the particulate electrode and the electrode plate. With increasing current density, the removal efficiency of algal cells gradually improves. This improvement is mainly due to the increased driving force for repolarization of the particulate electrode as the current intensity increases. At a current density of 21 mA / cm², the removal efficiency is significantly improved. 2 At a specific current density, the removal effect is optimal, with a removal rate as high as 45.2% within 5 minutes. However, as the current density increases, the removal capacity of the algal cells decreases. This decrease may be due to the potentially adverse effects of excessively high current density on the algal cells. Only 21 mA / cm²... 2 and 35mA / cm 2 A current density of 21 mA / cm² is required to completely degrade algal cells within 45 minutes. Considering removal efficiency and energy consumption, this is necessary. 2 The current density is best suited for this system.

[0069] Figure 8 This is a graph showing the removal efficiency of Microcystis aeruginosa under different pH conditions in Example 4. Figure 8 It was found that the optimal pH for removing algal cells within 10 minutes was pH=7, with a removal rate of 45.2%. Algal cells could be completely removed within 45 minutes, with significantly better removal efficiency under acidic conditions than under alkaline conditions. Under acidic conditions, electrolytes can reduce the electrostatic repulsion between cyanobacterial cells, promoting algal floc sedimentation. However, compared to neutral conditions, the surface of magnetic materials becomes acidified under acidic conditions, leading to changes in surface charge. Under acidic conditions, the surface charge of magnetic materials is mostly positive, while most pollutants are negatively charged. Therefore, the interaction between the two is weakened, which may be a potential reason why magnetic materials have a superior algae removal ability under neutral conditions.

[0070] Figure 9 This is a staining image of algal cells under a confocal microscope. Observation results show that the control group... Figure 9 The presence of very little green fluorescence in chlorophyll a indicates that most algal cells are active. After 5 minutes of system operation, green fluorescence appears, indicating that some algal cells have undergone apoptosis. After 10 minutes, a large number of cells emit yellow fluorescence, while the red fluorescence gradually decreases, indicating cell death, but chlorophyll a and cell structure remain intact. Subsequently, the red fluorescence gradually weakens, and after 15 minutes, the nucleic acids of most dead algal cells are significantly stained with green fluorescence. In summary, these results demonstrate that the three-dimensional electrochemical magnetic cellulose system can effectively remove Microcystis aeruginosa from water.

[0071] Figure 10 The three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum of extracellular organic compounds is shown by... Figure 10 Initially, distinct peaks A (dissolved microbial metabolites) and B (aromatic proteins) were observed, indicating that the algal cells were active and undergoing normal physiological metabolism. After 5 minutes of operation of the three-dimensional electrochemical magnetic cellulose system, peak B almost disappeared, while peaks C and D appeared, indicating the large-scale production of humic acid and fulleric acid, representing algal cell apoptosis. With continued system operation, the amount of dissolved microbial metabolites gradually decreased, while the content of humic acid and fulleric acid showed a trend of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing again, indicating that the system has the ability to induce algal cell apoptosis and degrade humic acid and fulleric acid. After 45 minutes, the peak values ​​of A, C, and D decreased significantly, indicating a large amount of organic matter degradation within the system.

[0072] Figure 11 The images show the characterization of magnetic cellulose, including infrared spectroscopy, XRD, magnetic testing, and cycling tests. These tests demonstrate the successful preparation of magnetic cellulose and its good recyclability and reusability.

[0073] Figure 12 This is a pathway diagram of *Microcystis aeruginosa* degrading algal cells in a magnetic cellulose electrocoagulation system; by Figure 12 It is known that magnetic cellulose and algal cells can aggregate together under the action of electric current, thereby achieving electrocoagulation and algae removal; in addition, magnetic cellulose particles are both catalysts and electron donors, not only forming ·OH by decomposing hydrogen peroxide, but also generating ·OH on the anode surface through the electrochemical oxidation of water; O2· - O2 can be generated through the reaction of H2O2 with ·OH, or by reducing O2 using magnetic cellulose particle electrodes.

Furthermore, the active species HO2· and O2· - It also helps produce singlet oxygen. 1O2. In summary, ·OH and 1 O2 had a significant impact on the oxidation system studied.
