Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of green preparation and application of zeolite molecular sieve, and particularly relates to a green preparation method of high-performance shaped sodalite and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sodalite, the framework type code of which is SOD according to the International Zeolite Association. The chemical formula of sodalite is 4Na2O·3Al2O3·6SiO2, the atomic ratio of silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al) is 1:1, and the content of sodium (Na) ion is high. Through ion exchange and electrostatic effect, sodalite has high industrial application prospect in adsorption dehydration and adsorption of metal ions. At present, the methods for preparing sodalite at home and abroad are divided into three types: 1, a method using chemical reagents as raw materials; 2, a method using natural minerals and sub-molten salt activation; and 3, a method using natural minerals and mechanical activation. In the method 1, the chemical reagents used are derived from natural minerals, and the overall preparation steps are more, the energy consumption and cost are high. The method 2 uses natural minerals, which can reduce the industrial production steps from natural minerals to chemical reagents to sodalite, but the sub-molten salt activation method uses more solid alkali, the cost is higher, and the secondary pollution of waste alkali to the environment is larger. The method 3 uses mechanical activation of natural minerals, which can appropriately reduce the amount of alkali used, reduce the cost of alkali use and the secondary pollution to the environment, but it is necessary to preheat and activate the natural minerals at high temperature; in addition, the intermediate after activation and molding needs to be heat treated, and finally needs to be hydrothermally crystallized in a high-concentration alkali solution, which has high energy consumption, high total amount of solid alkali, and large secondary pollution to the environment. The sodalite prepared by the above-mentioned three methods still needs to be shaped before it can be applied in industry, and even because of the low mechanical strength, it cannot be well applied in industry. Therefore, it is of great significance in industry to seek a green method for preparing high-performance shaped sodalite with low energy consumption, low material consumption and small secondary pollution to the environment.

[0003] N-methyl pyrrolidone can dissolve organic matter, so it is widely used as a cleaning agent in the electronics and battery industries. However, N-methyl pyrrolidone is also water-soluble, which can easily introduce water during the cleaning process, affecting the quality of electronic and battery products. Using high-performance shaped faujasite to adsorb N-methyl pyrrolidone before or after use (cleaning) can not only reduce water content, but also reduce metal ion content. When the heavy metal ion content of water (including domestic water, domestic sewage, industrial wastewater) is high, it cannot be directly used or discharged. The content of heavy metal ions in water can be reduced by chemical precipitation method, but when the content is reduced to a certain extent, the effect of chemical precipitation method is reduced, the cost is increased, and the secondary pollution to the environment is increased. At this time, using high-performance shaped faujasite for adsorption can further reduce the content of heavy metal ions, and even completely remove the heavy metal ions in water, ensuring human health, and also being beneficial to the recycling of industrial wastewater and the recovery of valuable heavy metal ions. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a green preparation method of high-performance shaped faujasite and its application in adsorbing water and metal ions.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] (3) crystallize, filter, wash, then cut and crush the shaped mixture to obtain high-performance shaped faujasite with different shape requirements.

[0010] Further, the natural mineral in step (1) is diatomite or kaolin.

[0011] Further, the solid alkali in step (1) is sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate.

[0012] Further, the mass ratio of solid alkali to natural mineral in step (1) is 0.001:1-1.500:1.

[0013] Further, the amount of deionized water added in step (1) is 5-50% of the total mass of natural minerals and solid alkali.

[0014] Further, the crystallization in step (3) is hydrothermal crystallization or thermal activation crystallization. o The hydrothermal crystallization process is as follows: the shaped mixture is dried at 40-160 o C for 0.1-4 h, and then the mixture is transferred to a hydrothermal kettle, sodium hydroxide solution is added, and hydrothermal reaction is performed at 60-170 o C for 0.1-6 h; the thermal activation crystallization process is as follows: the shaped mixture is heated at 40-160

[0015] The mass ratio of the sodium hydroxide solution to the mixture is 0.5:1-6:1, and the content of the alkali in the alkali solution is 0-12 mol / L.

[0016] Further, the number of times of suction filtration in step (3) is 1-6, and the mass ratio of the deionized water used for suction filtration to the product after crystallization is 1:1-600:1.

[0017] The high-performance shaped offretite can be used for adsorbing water or adsorbing metal ions.

[0018] The adsorption of water includes using the shaped offretite as a drying agent to reduce the humidity in a specific environment such as the interior of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, so as to ensure the stable and long-term normal operation of the instrument. The adsorption of water also includes using the shaped offretite to adsorb water in an organic substance, and the organic substance includes N-methyl pyrrolidone and the like.

[0019] The adsorption of metal ions includes using the shaped offretite to adsorb Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ and the like in N-methyl pyrrolidone, or adsorbing Co 2+ , Mn 2+ and the like in industrial wastewater, domestic sewage or domestic water. The industrial wastewater includes refined wastewater, oxidation mother liquor and oxidation residue (after treatment) generated in the production of purified terephthalic acid.

[0020] Compared with the existing preparation technology of shaped offretite, the green preparation method provided by the present application does not need the step of preheating and activating or sub-molten salt activating the natural mineral, the crystallization step is simple, the amount of alkali used is small, and it is a green preparation method with low energy consumption and low material consumption. The shaped offretite prepared has the characteristics of high mechanical strength, high water absorption rate and high maximum adsorption capacity of metal ions, can be used for adsorbing water and adsorbing metal ions, and is a material with excellent performance.

The simulated wastewater was flowed through the particles in the dynamic adsorption bed at a rate of 5 BV / h. The breakthrough point was set at Co. 2+ and Mn 2+ The concentration was 2 mg / L, which was used to determine the penetration treatment quality of S3 particles on simulated wastewater.
