Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to an oil removal filter material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Oily wastewater mainly originates from the petrochemical, coal chemical, machinery processing, and textile industries, and its oil content is highly emulsified and difficult to biodegrade. Semi-coke wastewater is primarily generated in the wet quenching unit of semi-coke cooling and the residual circulating ammonia water unit of coal gas purification. The pretreatment section for semi-coke wastewater is severely affected by emulsified oil clogging, significantly impacting effluent quality and project progress. Effective pretreatment technology to remove emulsified oil is crucial for achieving resource recovery and efficient treatment of semi-coke wastewater.
[0003] Emulsified oil has a particle size of 0.1-10 μm and can form a relatively stable dispersion with water. The oil-water interface is the reason for the stable existence of emulsified oil, and disrupting the oil-water interface film is the key to oil removal. Traditional pretreatment processes use quartz sand as filter media, which has a small specific surface area, low porosity, and disordered distribution and coupling of hydroxyl groups on the surface of quartz sand, resulting in low activity and severe caking of the filter media during use.
[0004] Seyyedali Mirshahghassemi et al. synthesized PVP-coated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles for adsorbing and removing oil from wastewater. They used a high-gradient magnetic separator composed of two NdFeB magnets to separate the oil-adsorbed Fe3O4 nanoparticles, achieving an oil removal rate of up to 95%. However, this process is cumbersome. First, the magnetic Fe3O4 needs to be added to the water sample and stirred for about 1 hour. Then, a peristaltic pump is used to extract the water sample. The water sample passes through the magnetic separator, causing the magnetic Fe3O4 in the sample to be adsorbed onto steel wool in the middle of the separator. The biggest drawback is that the steel wool needs to be removed and cleaned, which is quite difficult.
[0005] Patent CN 104998466 B proposes a lightweight filter medium, foam glass, for water treatment. By increasing the specific surface area and porosity of the glass filter media, it can effectively filter and retain suspended solids during water treatment and has a good turbidity removal effect. However, it has a poor demulsification and oil removal effect when treating oily wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Therefore, this invention provides an oil removal filter material, its preparation method, and its application. This oil removal filter material has a better demulsification and oil removal effect, improves the quality of effluent, and is not prone to clogging. Backwashing can be completed using clean water with a flow rate of 10-20 BV / h. At the same time, it uses waste glass and NdFeB waste as raw materials, which has the characteristics of low cost, economy, and environmental protection, conforms to the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection in today's society, and has broad application prospects.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions:
[0008] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing an oil-removing filter material, which uses waste glass particles and NdFeB waste particles as raw materials, and in the presence of a foaming agent, a foaming accelerator and a silane coupling agent, after drying, sintering and foaming, cooling to room temperature, and crushing to obtain the oil-removing filter material.
[0009] Oil droplets in oil-in-water (O / W) oily wastewater are mostly negatively charged and can be adsorbed by positively charged magnetic particles. The oil removal filter media of this invention uses inorganic crushed glass as a carrier and neodymium iron boron permanent magnets as the core material. The high magnetic properties of the neodymium iron boron permanent magnets result in a strong attraction between the magnets and the oil droplets, causing the magnetic particles to disrupt the stable interface of the emulsified oil in the aqueous phase. This allows the oil droplets to demulsify and coalesce on the magnetic particles, achieving oil-water separation.
[0010] Furthermore, by weight, the waste glass particles are 30-70 parts, the neodymium iron boron waste particles are 5-15 parts, the foaming agent is 0.5-13 parts, the foaming accelerator is 1-10 parts, and the silane coupling agent is 1-10 parts.
[0011] Furthermore, the foaming agent is selected from one or more of carbon black, silicon carbide, calcium carbonate, dolomite, phlogopite, graphite, and manganese dioxide.
[0012] Furthermore, the foaming accelerator is selected from one or more of sodium nitrate, soda ash, sodium fluorosilicate, sodium carbonate, and ethylenediamine salt.
[0013] Furthermore, the silane coupling agent is selected from one or more of vinylsilane, aminosilane, and methacryloxysilane.
[0014] Furthermore, the drying conditions are: temperature 150-200℃, time 1-3h;
[0015] The conditions for sintering and foaming are as follows: hold at 500-620℃ for 30-60 minutes, then increase to 1000-1500℃ at 20-30℃ / min for foaming, the foaming time is 0.5-2 hours, and after completion, hold at 1050-1110℃ for 3-5 hours.
[0016] The particle size of the oil removal filter media is 30-60 mm.
[0017] Furthermore, the method for preparing the waste glass particles is as follows: the waste glass is subjected to acid washing and alkali washing in sequence, and then crushed to obtain waste glass particles with a particle size of 1-10mm.
[0018] The pickling process includes: placing the waste glass in 1-3 mol / L hydrochloric acid, immersing it at 20-40℃ for 1-3 hours, and then rinsing it with water;
[0019] The alkaline washing process includes: placing the acid-washed waste glass in an alkaline soapy water solution with a concentration of 0.2%-0.5% and soaking it at 20-40℃ for 1-3 hours; washing it with water and then drying it at 105-110℃ for 2-3 hours.
[0020] Waste glass is an inorganic non-metallic material containing SiO2, sodium silicate, calcium silicate, etc., and its main component is silicate complex salt, which is an amorphous solid with an irregular structure. After acid washing and alkali washing, inorganic salts, minerals, metal fragments, fats and proteins can be removed from the surface of waste glass, which is beneficial to subsequent processing and the controllability of the final product.
[0021] Furthermore, the method for preparing the NdFeB waste particles is as follows: the NdFeB waste is subjected to acid washing and alkali washing in sequence, and then crushed to obtain NdFeB waste particles with a particle size of 1-10mm.
[0022] The pickling process includes: placing the NdFeB waste in 0.5-2 mol / L hydrochloric acid, soaking it at 20-40℃ for 1-2 hours, and then washing it with water;
[0023] The alkaline washing process includes: placing the acid-washed NdFeB waste in 1-3 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, soaking it at 60-70℃ for 1-3 hours, washing it with water, and then drying it at 105-110℃ for 2-3 hours.
[0024] Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) waste (permanent magnets) is rich in rare earth elements such as Nd, Pr, and Dy, with a rare earth element content of approximately 30% (of which neodymium accounts for about 90%, and the rest are praseodymium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, etc.), an iron content of about 65%, a boron content of about 1%, and trace elements such as aluminum and copper. After acid and alkali washing, the NdFeB waste can be cleaned of metal debris, surface oxides, fats, and proteins from its surface, which is beneficial for subsequent processing and the controllability of the final product.
[0025] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides an oil removal filter media made by the method described in any of the preceding claims.
[0026] According to a third aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the application of the oil-removing filter media as described above in the removal of emulsified oil from water.
[0027] The embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages:
[0028] The oil-removing filter media of this invention uses waste glass, neodymium iron boron waste, foaming agent, foaming accelerator, and silane coupling agent as raw materials. It is manufactured into foam glass oil-removing filter media through a low-temperature sintering-high-temperature foaming method. It possesses properties such as strong magnetism, high porosity, large specific surface area, and lightweight. It exhibits excellent oil adsorption and demulsification capabilities, causing oil droplets to rapidly coalesce. During use, it provides fast filtration speed and good oil removal effect. Furthermore, the filter media expansion rate during backwashing is approximately 50%, facilitating rapid and effective backwashing. Attached Figure Description
