Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of removal and solidification treatment of heavy metal ions, and in particular to sodium borohydride-modified coal gangue and application thereof in Cr(VI) sewage treatment. Background Art
[0002] Chromium salt is one of the main products of the inorganic chemical industry and is widely used in leather making, metallurgy, spices, dyes, wood preservation, ceramics, metal surface treatment, chemical reagents, medicine and military industry. As an important strategic resource for my country's economic development, the demand for chromium salt is huge, and about 10% of commodities are closely related to it. However, the natural release of chromium and its use in industrial applications have led to the aggravation of water pollution problems. Especially Cr(VI), which is difficult to degrade in water bodies, has extremely high fluidity, toxicity and carcinogenicity, and has long-term effects on aquatic organisms and human health, causing irreversible harm. Therefore, how to effectively remove Cr(VI) has become an environmental problem that needs to be solved urgently.
[0003] Solidification technology is currently an economical and effective method for treating heavy metal pollutants, with the advantages of short treatment time, low cost, good effect, and wide application range. However, cement, as the most commonly used solidifying agent, has certain limitations in solidifying chromium pollution. At the same time, the cement industry is facing pressure to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and urgently needs to find alternative materials for cement.
[0004] Gangue, as solid waste generated during coal mining, is rich in mineral components, among which the content of iron is relatively high. Since the iron minerals in gangue mainly exist in the form of iron oxide, these oxides have strong stability and are difficult to react or solidify effectively with chromium ions. Therefore, the iron element in gangue is not reducible enough, which limits its application effect in chromium pollution control. Trace iron elements and sulfide and other reducing components in gangue play a key role in the control process of Cr(VI). These reducing components can convert Cr(VI) into less toxic Cr(III) through chemical reduction reactions, thereby reducing the harm of chromium. Therefore, in order to improve the reaction activity of gangue in chromium ion solidification, it is first necessary to reduce the iron oxide in the gangue.
[0005] Although some studies have explored the resource utilization of coal gangue and heavy metal solidification technology, there is still a lack of systematic research on how to effectively improve the application effect of coal gangue in chromium ion solidification, especially to enhance the activity of coal gangue through chemical reduction. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of existing lithium recovery technology, the present invention proposes a sodium borohydride modified coal gangue and its application in the treatment of Cr(VI) wastewater. The modified coal gangue uses sodium borohydride as a reducing agent to reduce the iron element in the coal gangue to form metal sites with high reactivity, and then solidifies the chromium ions, which effectively improves the adsorption and reduction capabilities of the coal gangue and significantly improves its application effect in Cr(VI)-containing wastewater. In addition, the modified coal gangue can be reused, which reduces the cost of sewage treatment and has high economy and sustainability. This provides a new, efficient and economical material for the treatment of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater and has broad application prospects.

[0015] Furthermore, in the coal gangue material after the Cr(VI) immobilization treatment, chromium ions exist in a stable solid form and have high dissolution resistance and environmental stability.
[0016] Furthermore, the modified coal gangue has a Cr(VI) removal rate of up to 87%.

[0073] Comparative Example 1
[0074] In order to verify the effect of sodium borohydride modification treatment, a comparative experiment was conducted to treat the same Cr(VI) wastewater without using sodium borohydride to modify coal gangue.
[0075] Treatment process: The control group experiment used unmodified coal gangue powder, which was directly mixed with Cr(VI)-containing wastewater after grinding, screening and hydrochloric acid washing and stirred for 6 hours.
[0076] Comparison of results: Examples 1-5 optimize the curing effect by adjusting the grinding time, reaction time and ingredient ratio, while Examples 6-8 focus on the effect of reaction temperature on curing performance. The results show that these optimized conditions significantly improve the curing effect, which is better than Comparative Example 1. Example 1 achieves the highest Cr(VI) curing rate (87%). In Comparative Example 1, due to the lack of sufficient active metal sites on the surface of the gangue, its adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) ions is significantly lower than that of the modified gangue. In addition, the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) in Comparative Example 1 is low, and the concentration of Cr(VI) in the sewage has not been significantly reduced, with a removal rate of only 25%.
[0077] Specifically, as the grinding time increases, the gangue particles become more uniform and refined, thereby improving the reaction activity, but if the grinding time is too long, it may cause agglomeration between particles and reduce the curing effect. The increase in hydrochloric acid concentration and pickling time helps to remove impurities more thoroughly, but after exceeding a certain range (such as Example 5 and Example 8), the curing rate of Cr (VI) is not significantly improved. Higher hydrochloric acid concentrations and long-term pickling excessively deplete the active surface of gangue and reduce efficiency. The increase in reaction temperature (such as Example 6 and Example 7) enhances the adsorption and reduction ability of gangue to Cr (VI), but too high a temperature can lead to instability of certain structures.
