[0002] With the worsening of water pollution around the world, my country currently mainly uses biological methods and flocculation sedimentation methods to treat urban domestic sewage and industrial wastewater. The flocculation sedimentation method has been more widely used due to its advantages such as simple process, convenient operation and low energy consumption. Flocculants play a decisive role in the flocculation sedimentation method, and their quality will determine the effect after treatment. Therefore, the preparation of efficient and cheap flocculants has always been one of the research topics of scientific researchers.

After the reaction is completed, the mixture is distilled under reduced pressure, washed, and recrystallized to obtain a disilane gemini quaternary ammonium salt intermediate having the structural formula:

[0008] (3) Add tridecafluorooctanol, trans-1,4-dichloro-2-butene and a phase transfer catalyst to a toluene solvent, stir and mix evenly, then add a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, react at 40-45° C. for 20-35 hours, and after the reaction is completed, cool to room temperature, filter, separate the oil layer, wash, dry, and distill under reduced pressure to obtain trans-1,4-bis(tridecafluorooctyloxy)but-2-ene, whose structural formula is:

The quaternary ammonium salt contained therein contains a positive charge. When the quaternary ammonium salt is introduced into a flocculant and used, it is adsorbed on suspended particles with negative charges or water-soluble organic colloids containing anionic groups through electrostatic action. When the surface charge of the particles is neutralized to make them coagulate and unstable, the adsorption and bridging effect of its long chain is utilized to make the suspended particles coagulate and achieve the effect of flocculation and sedimentation. The siloxane structure contained therein is hydrolyzed to produce silanol groups that can be combined with inorganic substances to form chemical bonds and improve sedimentation efficiency. The cationic organic polymer flocculant prepared by the present invention contains a fluorine-containing hydrophobic group, and the hydrophobic association enhances the interaction between polymer molecular chains, thereby having a stronger adsorption and bridging effect and improving the flocculation effect. In addition, the introduction of the hydrophobic group can enhance the interaction between the polymer and the organic matter, reduce the hydrophilicity of the flocs, and accelerate the floc sedimentation speed. The flocculant prepared by the present invention has the advantages of simple preparation process of the flocculant, low cost, high flocculation efficiency, etc., and is convenient for realizing efficient and economical flocculation operation.

[0047] Comparative Example 1

[0048] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in step (4), methacryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride is used instead of the disilane gemini quaternary ammonium salt intermediate.

[0049] Comparative Example 2

[0050] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in step (4), trifluoroethyl methacrylate is used instead of trans-1,4-bis(tridecafluorooctyloxy)but-2-ene.

[0051] 3 g of diatomaceous earth was dispersed in 100 g of water, stirred and mixed for 10 min, a flocculant was added thereto, stirred and mixed for 10 min, the dosage of the flocculant was controlled to be 10 mg / L, and the mixture was allowed to stand for 30 min. The supernatant was taken out with a pipette at a distance of 20 mm from the liquid surface, and the transmittance of the supernatant was measured on a spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 590 nm; the Zeta potential of the diatomaceous earth suspension surface was measured using a nanoparticle surface potential analyzer.

[0052] Table 1:

[0053] Supernatant permeability (%) Zeta potential / mV Example 1 83.63 -2.45 Example 2 88.49 -1.05 Example 3 95.28 -0.52 Example 4 98.40 -0.08 Example 5 94.02 0.10 Comparative Example 1 74.25 -10.36 Comparative Example 2 67.48 -8.05

[0054] The greater the supernatant permeability, the better the flocculation effect. As can be seen from the table, the supernatant permeability of Examples 1-5 is greater than that of Comparative Example 1-2, and can reach a maximum of 98.40%. The closer the Zeta potential is to 0, the better the flocculation effect. The diatomite suspended particles are negatively charged, and the particles have a larger Zeta potential. The repulsive force between the charges prevents the suspended particles from approaching each other, and eliminating or reducing the Zeta potential can cause the particles to collide and aggregate and lose stability. Therefore, a cationic organic polymer flocculant is added thereto. Because it contains a positively charged quaternary ammonium group, it is adsorbed on the diatomite, which can change the surface charge of the diatomite, reduce the Zeta potential, and make the particles easy to approach and connect together to form flocs, thereby achieving a flocculation effect. The Zeta potential of Examples 1-5 is closer to 0. Therefore, the flocculant prepared by the present invention has a better flocculation effect.

[0055] The above description of the embodiments is to facilitate the understanding and application of the present invention by those skilled in the art. It is obvious that those familiar with the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative work. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments herein, and modifications made to the present invention by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present invention should be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
