Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of environmental engineering technology, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a high-efficiency composite deep defluorination agent. Background Art

[0002] Fluorine is a widely present element in nature, but excessive intake can pose serious risks to human health. Long-term consumption of high-fluoride water can lead to conditions such as dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis, and can even affect the nervous and immune systems. Currently, many regions around the world (such as China, India, and parts of Africa) are facing the problem of excessive fluoride in drinking water. Especially in areas with abundant groundwater resources, fluoride pollution has become an urgent public health issue. With advances in science and technology, the development of new fluoride removal materials (such as nanomaterials and biomaterials) and intelligent water treatment systems has brought new hope to the field of fluoride removal. In the future, fluoride removal technology will place greater emphasis on environmental protection and resource recycling, providing more reliable protection for global drinking water safety.

[0003] According to the announcement number, CN117258763B - A method for preparing a high-efficiency composite deep defluoridating agent, it is recorded that "desulfurized gypsum is used as raw material, first calcined at 500-600°C for 2-3 hours, and then the temperature is increased at a specific rate for secondary calcination. The calcined product is screened and compounded with a modified product of silicate cement and moss ash to obtain a finished product. The defluoridating agent of the present invention has good surface properties and adsorption activity, can effectively remove fluoride ions in the mixed system, and has the advantages of high removal rate and fast speed." Although it has a certain removal rate, it still cannot meet the defluoridation effect of complex water bodies. Not only that, the environmental protection issue of the defluoridating agent is also a link that needs attention.
