Description

Technical Field

[0002] In-situ chemical oxidation is one of the mainstream treatment methods for groundwater pollution control and has been successfully applied to the remediation of organic groundwater pollution. However, traditional in-situ oxidation technology lacks effective selectivity for pollutants and cannot deliver oxidants for a long time, resulting in poor stability of the remediation effect, reverse diffusion of agents, concentration tailing, and pollutant rebound during remediation. It faces the problem of rising remediation costs and declining remediation effects, which is easy to cause secondary pollution. In order to solve the problem of in-situ remediation, slow-release oxidation technology has received widespread attention from researchers at home and abroad. This technology uses special materials or devices to slowly release oxidants. It has the characteristics of controlling the release rate of active compounds, reducing the non-selective consumption of oxidants, and maintaining an oxidizing environment for a long time, making the remediation process more stable and lasting.

[0041] C. Weigh 2 kg of soluble starch and dissolve it in 50 L of distilled water, and continue to stir to ensure that the starch is evenly dispersed in the water; weigh 2 kg of polyvinyl alcohol and add it to the starch solution, stir in a water bath at 80° C. to evenly disperse the polyvinyl alcohol in the starch solution, then add 2 kg of ground modified diatomaceous earth, continue to stir to form a uniform turbid solution, add 2 L of glycerol, and continue to stir for 2 hours; then add 2 kg of sodium persulfate powder and continue to stir for 2 hours; finally, add 5 L of 0.2 M boric acid solution in batches, let it stand for 5-10 minutes, and obtain a colloidal diatomaceous earth composite gel, inject the colloidal substance into a mold, dry it, and store it in a desiccator for later use.

[0042] In actual remediation, paraffin slow-release materials are added to the polluted water, such as Figure 4 As shown, after the paraffin slow-release material is added to the water body, the oxidant is released very quickly and the maximum value can be reached in a very short time. However, the groundwater body is flowing and the oxidant release time is very short. Therefore, in order to achieve the repair effect during actual repair, it is necessary to frequently replenish the paraffin slow-release material. This method greatly increases the cost. This embodiment 1 is different. The oxidant is released very quickly, and the oxidant release time is significantly improved compared to the conventional paraffin slow-release material. Therefore, it can be seen from the comparison that the slow-release material of embodiment 1 prepared in this patent application has better performance than the existing slow-release materials such as paraffin.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] The preparation method of the diatomaceous earth sustained-release sodium persulfate gel composite material provided by the example of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0045] A. Pass the diatomaceous earth raw material through a 100-mesh sieve, then wash it with deionized water to remove impurities, and dry it at 45-50°C for later use.

[0046] B. Take 50 kg of dried diatomaceous earth, add an appropriate amount of 5% sodium hydroxide solution and stir at 100°C for 2 hours to form a uniform turbid liquid, then inject it into a mold and place it in a vacuum drying oven at 70°C for 24 hours to obtain hard modified diatomaceous earth, which is then ground for later use.

[0047] C.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the release time of Example 2 prepared in the present application is significantly improved when releasing the oxidant compared to conventional paraffin sustained-release materials. Therefore, it can be seen from the comparison that the sustained-release material of Example 2 prepared in the present patent application has better performance than existing sustained-release materials such as paraffin.

[0049] Embodiment 3:

[0050] The preparation method of the diatomaceous earth sustained-release sodium persulfate gel composite material provided by the example of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0051] A. Pass the diatomaceous earth raw material through a 100-mesh sieve, then wash it with deionized water to remove impurities, and dry it at 45-50°C for later use.

[0052] B. Take 50 kg of dried diatomaceous earth, add an appropriate amount of 5% sodium hydroxide solution and stir at 100°C for 2 hours to form a uniform turbid liquid, then inject it into a mold and place it in a vacuum drying oven at 70°C for 24 hours to obtain hard modified diatomaceous earth, which is then ground for later use.

[0053] C. Weigh 10 kg of soluble starch and dissolve it in 50 L of distilled water, and continue to stir to ensure that the starch is evenly dispersed in the water; weigh 5 kg of polyvinyl alcohol and add it to the starch solution, stir in a water bath at 80° C. to evenly disperse the polyvinyl alcohol in the starch solution, then add 5 kg of ground modified diatomaceous earth, continue to stir to form a uniform turbid solution, add 2 L of glycerol, and continue to stir for 2 hours; then add 2 kg of sodium persulfate powder, and continue to stir for 2 hours; finally, add 5 L of 0.2 M boric acid solution in succession, let it stand for 5-10 minutes, and a colloidal diatomaceous earth composite gel is obtained, and the colloidal substance is injected into a mold, dried, and stored in a desiccator for later use.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the release time of Example 3 prepared in the present application is greatly prolonged when releasing the oxidant compared to conventional paraffin sustained-release materials. Therefore, it can be seen from the comparison that the sustained-release material of Example 3 prepared in the present patent application has better performance than existing sustained-release materials such as paraffin.

[0055] Comparative Examples 1-3, such as Figure 4 As shown, although Example 1 releases the oxidant very quickly after being added to the water body and can reach the maximum value in a very short time, the duration cannot meet the demand. Example 2 is different. Although the speed of releasing the oxidant after being added to the water body is insufficient compared with Example 1, it can still meet the demand, and the duration is much better than Example 1. In addition, the release speed of Example 3 is very slow compared with Example 2, and the maximum value that can be reached is also lower than that of Example 2. Therefore, in comparison, the ratio described in Example 2 is the optimal solution.

[0056] In summary, the diatomaceous earth in the present invention has the characteristics of high surface area, and the diatomaceous earth after alkali modification can enhance its adsorption capacity, increase the loading amount of sodium persulfate, and can improve the mechanical strength of the gel material after being embedded, and increase the service life of the sustained-release material; and the present invention forms a gel coating by polyvinyl alcohol / starch, so as to realize the slow release of sodium persulfate; and the present invention uses polyvinyl alcohol and starch as gel materials and diatomaceous earth as a carrier, which is environmentally friendly and low in cost, and can be used as a filling material of a permeable reaction barrier, and is convenient to replace.
