Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a lignin-doped montmorillonite hydrogel, its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of functional materials. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen and phosphorus are essential elements for the survival of all living things in nature. However, the long-term discharge of various nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing wastewaters from industrial and agricultural production has caused severe eutrophication of natural water bodies, thereby seriously damaging aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, the efficient removal and recycling of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in water bodies has become crucial for solving the current problems of eutrophic water body management and the sustainable utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus resources. Similarly, with the widespread use of plastic products, microplastics are widely present in environmental media and organisms globally. They have wide sources, widespread distribution, complex environmental behavior, and potential ecotoxicological effects, posing a serious threat to ecosystems and human health. Therefore, achieving the efficient removal and recycling of microplastics in wastewater containing microplastics is of paramount importance.
[0003] Hydrogels are considered a potential candidate material for wastewater treatment, in addition to traditional adsorbents such as zeolites, clay minerals, synthetic resins, and activated carbon. Generally, hydrogels possess good hydrophilicity, a large specific surface area, and numerous porous structures and active adsorption groups or sites, ultimately leading to strong interactions between pollutant ions and these sites, thereby improving the removal efficiency of pollutants from wastewater. Natural polymers in biomass, such as lignin, cellulose, and chitosan, are widely used as raw materials for hydrogel preparation due to their abundance, environmental friendliness, and biodegradability, thus endowing hydrogels with favorable environmental properties.
[0004] Lignin, a major chemical component widely found in plants, is a three-dimensional network of natural polymers with an aromatic structure. Simultaneously, the lignin structure contains numerous active functional groups, such as carboxyl, phenolic, and aliphatic hydroxyl groups, making it easy to process into hydrogels or endowing lignin materials with limited adsorption capacity. Lignin is considered an ideal polymer for preparing hydrogels because utilizing hydrogels not only brings high value to lignin but also helps reduce costs and improve the mechanical properties of hydrogels. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that eutrophic wastewater often contains pollutants such as anions, cations, and microplastics. Lignin-doped hydrogel adsorbents containing only one type of ionic group cannot remove all pollutants, thus failing to meet practical application needs. Therefore, the preparation of multi-component lignin-doped montmorillonite hydrogels for the simultaneous recovery of nitrogen, phosphorus, and microplastics from wastewater is of great significance.
[0005] However, early methods for preparing amphoteric lignin-based hydrogels were complex, typically requiring two or more synthetic steps. First, water-soluble lignin derivatives were synthesized from lignin. Then, these lignin derivatives were modified to introduce different functional groups, resulting in the amphoteric lignin-based hydrogel. This complex synthetic process hindered the large-scale industrial application of amphoteric lignin-based hydrogels. Therefore, a simple and convenient synthetic method for preparing amphoteric lignin-based hydrogels was needed. This invention utilizes a one-step chemical modification process to prepare an environmentally friendly, efficient, stable, and economical lignin-doped montmorillonite hydrogel for the efficient removal of nitrogen and phosphorus ions and microplastics from water.
