Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil-water separation and sewage treatment, and in particular to a surface hydrophobically modified SiO2 whisker with a high aspect ratio, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the methods used for oil-water separation mainly include gravity separation, filtration, membrane separation, electrical aggregation, adsorption, chemical demulsification and biological methods. Among them, chemical demulsification is the most widely used method at present. It mainly changes the interfacial properties of the emulsion system by adding demulsifiers, making it unstable from relatively stable, so as to achieve the purpose of demulsification. For the demulsification of O / W emulsions, cationic organic demulsifiers are usually used, and commonly used ones are polyacrylamide graft copolymers, quaternary ammonium salts, imines, etc. Among them, polyacrylamide flocculants have been widely used in industries such as petroleum industry, environmental protection and papermaking. However, the preparation process of its copolymer is complicated, which leads to increased production costs and limits its further application. Compared with traditional methods, the method of using modified whisker demulsification not only has the advantages of high separation efficiency, low environmental pollution and fast separation efficiency, but also has the advantages of good recyclability and stable use in extreme environments, and is expected to be widely used in the treatment of oil and water pollutants.

[0008] Step 3, the powder obtained in step 2 is kept at 850-1400° C. in an atmosphere furnace for 1.5-3 hours to obtain SiO2 whiskers with a high aspect ratio;

[0011] In the above technical solution, further, in the catalyst precursor solution, the total concentration of Fe salt and Co salt is 0.05wt% to 1wt%. When the added amount is greater than 1wt%, the excess Fe and Co nanoparticles will agglomerate after reduction, thereby affecting the activity of the catalyst.

[0012] In the above technical solution, further, the mass ratio of the Fe salt in the Fe salt solution to the Co salt in the Co salt solution is 1:1.

[0013] In the above technical solution, further, in step 1, the protective agent is any one of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0016] In the above technical solution, further, in step three, the mass fraction of stearic acid in the alcohol solution of stearic acid is 2wt% to 10wt%.

[0017] Another aspect of the present invention provides an application of the SiO2 whisker prepared by the above preparation method in oil-water separation.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. The present invention adopts an in-situ catalytic synthesis method to prepare SiO2 whiskers. The prepared SiO2 whiskers have demulsification ability and a high aspect ratio. The preparation method has high output and is suitable for industrial large-scale production.
