Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of zero-valent iron modification, and in particular to a modified zero-valent iron preparation for sterilization and algae removal in water and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Pathogenic bacteria and algae in water are common microbial pollutants in water bodies, which can cause serious health risks and ecological problems. The large-scale discharge of sewage from production, life, and medical treatment has led to the entry of many pathogenic microorganisms into the environment, seriously threatening public health safety. For example, diarrhea caused by pathogenic Escherichia coli causes a large number of deaths worldwide every year. Algal pollution leads to algal blooms, which can cause aquatic organisms to die due to lack of oxygen, causing black and smelly water bodies. Some algae release algal toxins, which seriously affect water quality safety. The elimination and removal of pathogenic bacteria and algae in water mostly adopts chemical methods, such as chlorine disinfection and copper reagent treatment, but chemical drugs may have toxic effects on water ecology, affect water quality, and easily develop drug resistance. In addition, harmful disinfection by-products may also be generated. Zero-valent iron is one of the hot materials that has attracted much attention in the current environmental field. It has high reducibility and a large specific surface area, and can be used as an adsorbent and reductant to remove harmful substances. Zero-valent iron has a significant killing effect on Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, algae, etc. Its mechanism mainly includes physical adsorption and redox reactions such as active oxygen inactivation. However, zero-valent iron is easily passivated during use and storage, forming a dense oxide shell on the surface, which reduces the adsorption active sites on the ZVI surface, hinders the outward transfer of iron core electrons, and reduces the generation of reactive oxygen species, resulting in a decrease in its adsorption, redox and other capabilities, limiting the disinfection effect. In addition, the reactive oxygen species generated by zero-valent iron have a short half-life, a small migration distance, a low steady-state concentration, and a low effective utilization rate of free radicals reacting with bacteria. These defects limit the large-scale application of ZVI in the removal of pathogenic microorganisms in water bodies. Therefore, it is necessary to select suitable modifiers to regulate the shell structure of ZVI and improve its reaction activity, while finding effective coupled adsorption-inactivation technology to sterilize at the zero-valent iron interface and enhance the ability of zero-valent iron to remove bacteria.
[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a modified zero-valent iron preparation for sterilization and algae removal in water and a preparation method thereof. By combining silicate-modified zero-valent iron with carbonate-modified zero-valent iron, the adsorption of bacteria and the production of reactive oxygen species are simultaneously improved, thereby achieving effective coupling of microbial adsorption on the zero-valent iron surface and in-situ oxidative inactivation, overcoming the defects of short lifespan and small migration distance of reactive oxygen species, and achieving efficient removal of water microorganisms.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0048] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0049] The term "biocide" is an agent that can remove bacteria and microorganisms from water.
[0050] Zero-valent iron has high reducibility and a large specific surface area. It can be used as an adsorbent and reductant to remove harmful substances. It has a significant killing effect on Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, algae, etc. Its mechanism mainly includes physical adsorption and redox reaction. However, zero-valent iron is easily passivated during use and storage, resulting in a decrease in its adsorption and reduction capabilities, which limits the disinfection effect.
[0051] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a modified zero-valent iron preparation for sterilization and algae removal in water, wherein the modified zero-valent iron preparation includes silicate-modified zero-valent iron and carbonate-modified zero-valent iron; the mass ratio of the silicate-modified zero-valent iron to the carbonate-modified zero-valent iron is 1:(0.8-1.2); in the silicate-modified zero-valent iron, the molar ratio of silicate to zero-valent iron is (3-8):100; in the carbonate-modified zero-valent iron, the molar ratio of carbonate to zero-valent iron is (3-8):100.
[0052] Silicate has a strong affinity with iron and is very easy to coordinate with iron and iron oxides. Silicate modification increases the specific surface area and active sites of zero-valent iron (ZVI), enriches the surface functional groups of ZVI, increases the adsorption sites, and enhances the adsorption between zero-valent iron and bacteria, thereby improving the activity of zero-valent iron in removing bacteria. Carbonate has a strong electron induction ability. Carbonate modification can improve the reduction activity of ZVI, promote iron-nuclear electron transfer, and is conducive to activating O2, producing more active oxygen species, and enhancing the bactericidal activity of zero-valent iron. In this way, based on the strong adsorption capacity of silicate-modified zero-valent iron and the excellent oxygen activation ability of carbonate-modified zero-valent iron, the two modified zero-valent irons are batch-made into composite fillers, which can effectively give play to the advantages of both, make up for the shortcomings of short migration distance and easy self-quenching of active oxygen species, and enhance the adsorption and inactivation coupling of modified zero-valent iron on microorganisms by mixing the two modified zero-valent iron fillers, providing a new option for solving water treatment contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms.

Figure 1 As shown, CO3 2- -ZVI bm 、SiO3 2- -ZVI bm and ZVI bm The comparison results show that silicate modification and carbonate modification do not change the original crystal structure of zero-valent iron, and the sample composition is still Fe 0 . Use infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to characterize the functional group information on the sample surface, such as Figure 2 Shown are Na2SiO3, SiO3 2- -ZVI bm and ZVI bm Compare the results, such as Figure 3 Shown are Na2CO3, CO32- -ZVI bm and ZVI bm The comparison results show that silicate and carbonate modify the surface of zero-valent iron, change the structure of the surface oxide layer of zero-valent iron, and regulate the composition and structure of the zero-valent iron shell.
