Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of heavy metal wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to the field of photocatalysts. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rapid industrialization has increased the discharge of heavy metal-containing wastewater, causing serious environmental problems. Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) has strong toxicity in mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, and its high mobility enables it to migrate to the biological chain and accumulate in the organism. It is often used in electroplating, leather tanning, paint production and textile industry, and the wastewater generated by these industries inevitably leads to its serious over-standard. The Environmental Protection Bureau of China stipulates that the Cr(VI) emission limits of agricultural water, drinking water and industrial wastewater in China are 0.1, 0.05 and 0.5 mg / L, respectively. The conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) is one of the key steps in the process of industrial wastewater treatment, because Cr(VI) has lower toxicity than Cr(III), including biological reduction, chemical precipitation and adsorption. But these methods have long processing time, high cost consumption and limited practical application for many chromium-containing industrial wastewater. For example, for chromium-containing acid mine wastewater, due to the large volume of water body, multiple pollution sources and dispersion, it is difficult to use the treatment methods for conventional industrial chromium-containing wastewater. Photocatalytic technology has the advantages of high efficiency, low energy consumption and mild reaction conditions in the removal of toxic heavy metal ions, because it utilizes renewable solar energy to realize the redox process of the system through light-responsive materials. However, light is basically simulated sunlight, visible light or ultraviolet light by photocatalytic equipment, which is not conducive to the removal of multi-source dispersed wastewater. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare photocatalysts with high photochemical response, and to use natural solar energy to drive the redox process to realize the reduction removal of Cr(VI).

[0003] In the process of treating industrial Cr(VI)-containing wastewater, inexpensive reagent materials and simple process operation are needed in the actual industrial water treatment. For example, the preparation method of the living bacteria composite biomaterial for repairing Cr(VI)-contaminated water body disclosed in Chinese patent application CN202211138658.X, the method for rapidly reducing hexavalent chromium ions based on oxalic acid strengthening disclosed in CN202010583807.8 and the method for removing hexavalent chromium and dye pollutants by in-situ synthesis of iron-based materials using plant polyphenols disclosed in CN201710104040.4 have high cost, slow reduction rate of Cr(VI) in chromium-containing industrial wastewater, long period and difficulty in realizing the application of large-scale industrial wastewater. Oxalic acid serves as an industrial cleaner, soil leaching agent, mordant and tanning agent in various processes due to its low cost and easy degradation of molecules. Importantly, the reduction of Cr(VI) by oxalic acid is thermodynamically feasible, but the reaction is very slow. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the complexity of Cr(IV) wastewater and the high cost of treatment process, the first object of the present application is to provide a Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 heterojunction material, which aims to provide a new material with special physicochemical structural characteristics and excellent Cr(IV) photocatalytic reduction activity and cycle stability.

[0058] (3) placing the dried precursor in step (2) in a corundum magnetic boat and calcining in a muffle furnace at high temperature, so as to obtain a Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 photocatalytic heterojunction;

[0059] Further, the acidophilic iron or iron-sulfur oxidizing bacteria in step (1) are one or more mixed strains selected from the group consisting of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans.

[0060] Further, the ferrous sulfate, sulfur powder, sodium tungstate and reagents used in the 9K salt ion culture medium in steps (1) and (2) are all analytically pure reagents.

[0061] Further, the bacterial suspension in step (2) is a liquid in which bacteria are dispersed in a dilute sulfuric acid solution, and the bacterial concentration is ensured to be 1x10 7 -1x10 8 cell / mL when the bacterial suspension is added to the synthesis system of schroeckingerite.

[0062] Further, the pH value of the acidic aqueous solution in step (2) is an acidic environment suitable for the survival of acidophilic iron and iron-sulfur oxidizing bacteria, and the pH value is between 1.5 and 2.8.

[0063] Further, the proportion of ferrous sulfate and sodium tungstate in step (2) can be adjusted as needed, for example, 7.5 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and 0.25 g of sodium tungstate can be added to 100 mL of the acidic aqueous solution.

[0064] Further, the high-temperature calcination condition in step (3) is that the holding temperature is 250-750 DEG C, further 300-700 DEG C, the temperature rising speed is 1-10 DEG C / min, and the calcination time is maintained at 1-3 hours.

[0068] In the present application, the heavy metal wastewater treatment method for reducing Cr(VI) under the condition of natural sunlight by using biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 photocatalytic heterojunction mediated by oxalic acid takes the process of synthesizing schultenite by acidophilic iron and iron-sulfur-oxidizing bacteria as a template, introduces tungstic acid source into the system, prepares tungstate-doped schultenite precursor, and obtains biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 photocatalytic heterojunction by high-temperature calcination in a muffle furnace. A certain amount of biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 and oxalic acid are added into wastewater containing Cr(IV), and the process of reducing and removing Cr(VI) is realized under the condition of natural or simulated sunlight.

[0069] The following is a more specific scheme:

[0070] Example 1

[0071] The biogenic Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 photocatalytic heterojunction used in this embodiment is prepared by enriching and culturing Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in 9K medium with ferrous sulfate heptahydrate as metabolic energy in a constant temperature shaker at 30°C and 180 rap for five days, filtering the slag with qualitative filter paper to obtain a bacterial solution, and obtaining a bacterial suspension using a high-speed centrifuge.

After cooling to room temperature, biogenic Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4-0.1 (group A), Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4-0.25 (group B), Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 (group C) and Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4-0.75 (group D) were obtained respectively.

[0072] Comparative Example 1

The biological source Bio-Fe2O3 presents an irregular half-sphere structure with thorns; the transmission electron microscopy shows that the particle size of the biological source Bio-Fe2O3 is obviously larger than that of the biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 photocatalytic heterojunction, and the particle size is thicker.

[0078] In this embodiment, the biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 and Bio-Fe2O3 obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are subjected to X-ray crystal diffraction and Fourier infrared spectrum analysis, and the results are shown in Figure 2 The X-ray crystal diffraction results show that the biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 exists hematite and iron tungstate; and the biological source Bio-Fe2O3 only exists hematite. The Fourier infrared spectrum results show that the biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 exists symmetric and asymmetric vibration peaks of FeO6 central iron at 468 and 536 cm -1 , respectively; and the symmetric vibration peak of oxygen in Fe-O-W at 930 and 1120 cm -1 ; and the vibration peaks of oxygen in SO4 -1 at 620 and 1050 cm 2- . The biological source Bio-Fe2O3 only exists the symmetric and asymmetric vibration peaks of FeO6 central iron and the vibration peaks of oxygen in SO4 2- . The biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 exists two kinds of hematite and iron tungstate, and the phase presents a heterojunction structure.

[0079] Electrochemical impedance test:

[0080] In this embodiment, the biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 and Bio-Fe2O3 obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are subjected to electrochemical impedance analysis, and the results are shown in Figure 3 The slope of the line in the electrochemical impedance diagram can represent the resistance of the electronic transfer in the material, and the results show that the internal resistance of the biological source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 is obviously lower than that of Bio-Fe2O3.

[0081] Application Example 1

Figure 4 -b shows the comparison of the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) in wastewater by photocatalytic oxalic acid reduction mediated by various biogenic Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4. The system conditions are 20 mg / L Cr(VI), 0.3 g / L photocatalyst, 2.0 mM / L oxalic acid, pH=3.9, reaction time 60 minutes, and xenon lamp irradiation at 600 W / m 2 The results showed that the efficiency of the biogenic Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 photocatalytic heterojunction in catalyzing the oxalic acid reduction of Cr(VI) was significantly higher than that of Bio-Fe2O3. Moreover, among the Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 with different proportions of iron tungstate, the Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 prepared by calcining the precursor with 0.5g of sodium tungstate had the highest efficiency in the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI).

The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 -a shows the reductive removal effect of Cr(VI) in wastewater by bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 under five cycles. The system conditions are 20 mg / L Cr(VI), 0.3 g / L photocatalyst, 2.0 mM / L oxalic acid, pH = 3.9, each reaction time is 60 minutes, and the xenon lamp is irradiated at 600 W / m 2 The light irradiation intensity can effectively and thoroughly remove Cr(VI) under multiple cycle conditions; Figure 5 -b shows the Cr(VI) reduction effect of bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 in deionized water, ultrapure water, tap water, lake water and river water. The system conditions are 20 mg / L Cr(VI), 0.3 g / L photocatalyst, 2.0 mM / L oxalic acid, pH = 3.9, reaction time 60 minutes, xenon lamp irradiation 600 W / m 2The light irradiation intensity and water quality system conditions have interference on the reduction efficiency of chromium, especially the Xiangjiang River water containing more organic matter and the tap water containing high salt, but the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) can be improved after the treatment time is prolonged; Figure 5 - c shows the reduction effect evaluation of Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 of biological origin on Cr(VI) under the interference of various cations at 2 and 10 mM / L, including Mn 2+ , Fe 3+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , Co 2+ and NH4 + , the system conditions are 20 mg / L Cr(VI), 0.3 g / L photocatalyst, 2.0 mM / L oxalic acid, pH = 3.9, the reaction time is 60 minutes, and the xenon lamp irradiation intensity is 600 W / m 2 The results show that the various cations have little interference on the reduction efficiency of chromium at low concentration, and Cu ions have obvious inhibitory effect at high concentration; Figure 5 - d shows the reduction effect evaluation of Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 of biological origin on Cr(VI) under the interference of various anions at 2 and 10 mM / L, including HCO3 - , NO3 - , H2PO4 - , SO4 2- and Cl - , the system conditions are 20 mg / L Cr(VI), 0.3 g / L photocatalyst, 2.0 mM / L oxalic acid, pH = 3.9, the reaction time is 60 minutes, and the xenon lamp irradiation intensity is 600 W / m 2 The results show that NO3 - , SO4 2- and Cl - have no interference on the reduction of Cr(VI), H2PO4 - has little interference, and with the increase of the concentration, the influence on the reduction of Cr(IV) is greater, and HCO3 - has great influence on the reduction of Cr(VI), because it affects the pH of the system solution and inhibits the reduction process of Cr(IV).

[0085] Application Example 3

[0086] This example is to evaluate the performance of bio-source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 and Bio-Fe2O3 obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 in reducing Cr(VI) mediated by bio-source Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 and Bio-Fe2O3 under natural sunlight intensity conditions, including Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4+ oxalic acid+ sunlight, Bio-Fe2O3+ oxalic acid+ sunlight, Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4+ oxalic acid+ darkness and Bio-Fe2O3+ oxalic acid+ darkness systems, with the conditions of 20 mg / L Cr(VI), 0.3 g / L photocatalyst, 2.0 mM / L oxalic acid, pH = 3.9, and reaction time of 60 minutes.

[0089] In addition, according to the method of Group D of Application Example 1, each component of this example is used as a photocatalyst to test Cr(VI), and the result is shown in Figure 9 , which shows that good catalytic effect can also be obtained.

[0095] Example 4

[0096] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the calcination temperature is changed, which is 300, 400, 500, 600, 700℃, respectively, and the materials prepared are named as Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4-300, Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4-400, Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4-500, Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4 (i.e. Example 1), Bio-Fe2O3 / FeWO4-700, respectively.

[0097] According to the method of Group D of Application Example 1, each component of the present example is used as a photocatalyst to test Cr(VI), and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 10 ; it shows that similar photocatalytic effects can be obtained.

[0098] Comparative Example 2

[0099] Compared with Group C of Example 1, the only difference is that the same weight of PVA is used to replace sodium tungstate in it, and other operations and parameters are the same as in Example 1. The difference in the preparation process of PVA-doped schiillerite is that 15g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and 2g of PVA powder are added to 200ml of pH=2 sulfuric acid aqueous solution, and the solution is cultured at 1.0*10 7 cell / ml of Af bacteria for 3 days, and then the material is calcined at 700℃ in an inert gas for 2 hours to obtain the material, which is marked as C-Sch-PVA.

[0100] According to the method of Group D of Application Example 1, each component of the present example is used as a photocatalyst to test Cr(VI), and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 11 It can be seen from the comparison of the cycle performance that C-Sch-PVA shows poor Cr(VI) reduction effect after the second cycle.

[0101] Comparative Example 3

[0102] The difference from Example 1 is that the W-doped scheelite obtained in Group C is not calcined, but directly used as a photocatalyst, and each component of this example is used as a photocatalyst according to the method of Group D of Application Example 1, and a Cr(VI) test is performed, and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 12 As such, it can be seen that the non-calcined Cr treatment capacity is not ideal.
