Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of purification of organic pollutants in water bodies, and particularly to a submicron fly ash-based supported ozone catalyst and a preparation method thereof. Technical Background
[0002] With the acceleration of the social industrialization process, the water pollution problems caused by various industrial wastewaters discharged in industrial production (such as boiler wastewater, printing and papermaking wastewater, desulfurization wastewater, and pharmaceutical wastewater, etc.) have become increasingly prominent. According to relevant statistics, the annual discharge of harmful substances in the global water body has exceeded 2.5 million tons, among which the discharge of industrial production wastewater dominates, containing a large amount of organic matter, heavy metals, and micro-pollutants, posing a huge threat to the ecological environment and human health. Organic pollution not only reduces the availability of water resources but also exacerbates the burden on the natural environment of the pollution source, and most organic pollutants are toxic, and long-term accumulation will cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment. In view of the risks they may pose to the water ecological environment and human health, it is very urgent to develop efficient technologies for treating industrial wastewater.
[0003] Ozone technology decomposes harmful substances through catalytic oxidation to improve water quality and protect the environment. In industrial wastewater treatment, ozone technology can effectively remove harmful substances such as organic matter and heavy metals, and has attracted more and more attention due to its advantages of high efficiency, no secondary pollution, and non-toxicity. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on ozone (O 3 ) activation usually generate highly reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as ·OH, O 2 - · and 1 O 2 , which have been proven to be an effective and environmentally friendly method for removing refractory pollutants. Although O 3 has a high redox potential (E 0 = 2.07V), but independent O 3 shows strict selectivity and only attacks the nucleophilic sites of the aromatic ring. In order to improve the selectivity limitation of ozone, the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation process formed by combining ozone with a solid catalyst has attracted much attention recently. However, current ozone catalysts face challenges such as limited specific surface area, poor adsorption performance, and high preparation cost.
[0004] Fly ash (FA), as a product after the combustion of coal-fired boilers, has a spherical appearance, a smooth surface, and a porous structure. Its main components are SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3and MgO, etc., are alkaline. If fly ash is not properly treated, it will generate dust, pollute the atmosphere and water quality, and endanger human health. Due to its porous characteristics, fly ash exhibits excellent adsorption performance and is therefore widely used in the preparation of adsorbents and catalyst carriers. In practical applications, fly ash can improve its hydration ability through activation technology and be applied to fields such as chemical wastewater treatment, cement, and concrete production. Currently, fly ash carriers have problems such as a relatively low specific surface area (less than 50m 2 / g), insufficient loading rate of active components (generally less than 20%), and poor dispersion of active components due to low porosity. Moreover, a single-metal or dual-metal system (such as Mn / FA, Ce / FA) is generally adopted, resulting in limited catalytic efficiency and a TOC removal rate that is difficult to exceed 70%. Activation technologies can be divided into chemical activation, mechanical activation, mechanochemical activation, and physical and chemical activation. The main methods of mechanical activation are sorting and ball milling. Ball milling can enhance its chemical reactivity without changing the chemical composition of fly ash and affect the dispersion characteristics of fly ash, such as an increase in specific surface area, adjustment of particle size distribution, and changes in particle mineral composition, morphology, and shape. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a submicron fly ash-based Mn-Ce-Bi ternary composite ozone catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The present invention has good ozone catalytic performance, promotes the reaction of ozone to decompose organic pollutants in water through the ozone catalyst, thereby realizing the effective removal of organic pollutants in water bodies. The present invention is low in cost, provides a new idea for the comprehensive utilization of fly ash, and has good economic and environmental benefits.
[0006] To achieve the above invention object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] Co-wet grind fly ash and deionized water to initially obtain a micron-sized fly ash carrier; use the initially obtained micron-sized fly ash carrier and ZnCl 2 solution to co-wet grind to obtain a submicron-sized modified fly ash as the carrier; use metal oxides attached to the alkali-modified fly ash carrier by ultrasonic impregnation method as the active components.
[0008] In the present invention, the metal oxides include MnO 2 , Mn 2 O 3 , MnO, CeO 2 , Ce 2 O 3 , Bi 2 O 3 .
[0009] The present invention provides a submicron fly ash-based Mn-Ce-Bi ternary composite ozone catalyst and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following steps:
[0010] (1) placing a certain amount of dried raw fly ash in a ball mill, adding an appropriate amount of deionized water according to a predetermined solid-liquid ratio, and performing a wet ball milling process for 6 hours to grind the fly ash to a particle size that meets the requirements, thereby obtaining micron-grade fly ash, with a particle size distribution of more than 80% under a 2-micron sieve (the first product);
[0011] (2) Weigh 10 g of the first product and add 50 mL of ZnCl at different concentrations according to a certain solid-liquid ratio. 2 The ball milling was continued for 3 h in the solution. After the ball milling process was completed, the product was thoroughly rinsed five times with deionized water and then dried to finally obtain a submicron fly ash carrier with a particle size distribution of more than 90% under a 0.5 μm sieve (i.e., the second product);
[0012] (3) Weigh a certain amount of manganese nitrate Mn(NO 3 ) 2 ·4H 2 O, cerium nitrate Ce(NO 3 ) 3 6H 2 O. Bismuth nitrate Bi(NO 3 ) 3 ·5H 2 O, and adding deionized water and mixing thoroughly to prepare an active component precursor solution (the third product);
[0013] (4) adding the second product to the precursor solution (third product), stirring evenly, ultrasonically treating for 1 hour, and immersing at room temperature for 4 hours to obtain a fourth product;
[0014] (5) The fourth product was placed in a drying oven at 105°C and dried for 6 h. Finally, the dried sample was placed in a muffle furnace and calcined at different temperatures for 3 h to obtain the final product, Mn-Ce-Bi / FA ternary composite catalyst.
[0015] Preferably, in step (2), the modified solution ZnCl 2 The concentrations of ZnCl are 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, and 0.50 mol / L, respectively, and the solid-liquid ratio is 1:5; further preferably, ZnCl 2 The concentration is 0.25mol / L.
[0016] In the present invention, in step (3), the precursor solution is a solution of manganese nitrate, cerium nitrate, and bismuth nitrate, and the molar ratios of Mn:Ce:Bi are -1:1:1, 2:1:1, 3:1:1, and 2:2:1, respectively; further preferably, the molar ratio of Mn:Ce:Bi is 2:1:1.
[0017] In step (4), the Mn-Ce-Bi / FA composite ozone catalyst prepared by us is denoted as Mn-Ce-Bi(X) / FA, where X represents the mass fractions of Mn, Ce, and Bi in the catalyst, which are 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% respectively; in particular, when the mass fraction is 30%, the catalyst performance is better.
[0018] Preferably, in the said step (5), the calcination temperatures are 350, 450, 550, and 650 °C respectively; more preferably, the calcination temperature is 550 °C.
[0019] The beneficial effects brought by the present invention are as follows:
[0020] 1. The concept of the present invention is unique. Fly ash itself does not have ozone catalytic ability. Through the modification process, the mineral crystal phase of fly ash can be destroyed, thereby improving its loading capacity for active components, achieving the resource recycling effect of "treating waste with waste".
[0021] 2. The secondary wet ball milling technology is adopted to wet mill fly ash and deionized water together to destroy the physical structure of fly ash and open the internal pores, initially obtaining a micron-level fly ash carrier. Utilizing the pore-forming function of ZnCl 2 solution, the initially obtained micron-level fly ash carrier and ZnCl 2 solution are wet milled together, which can greatly improve the porosity of fly ash while significantly reducing the fineness of fly ash, further increasing the specific surface area and loading capacity of the modified fly ash, making it reach the sub-micron level (below 500 nm, attached Figure 1 ), achieving efficient loading of active components (attached Figure 2 ). Compared with using expensive carriers available on the current market, using modified fly ash as a carrier can significantly reduce the cost expenditure for catalyst preparation.
[0022] 3. The preparation method of the fly ash-based ozone catalyst adopted in the present invention is simple and feasible. The prepared Mn-Ce-Bi / FA fly ash-based ternary supported ozone catalyst can effectively promote the oxidation of organic pollutants in water by ozone, providing a feasible direction for the high-value utilization of fly ash, and at the same time promoting the development of economic and environmental-friendly ozone catalysts.
[0023] 4. The specific surface area of the catalyst prepared by the method of the present invention reaches 150 m 2 / g (BET test), and the loading rate of active components is increased to 30% - 40%; the TOC removal rate for simulated printing and dyeing wastewater reaches 92% (compared with 70% of traditional catalysts), and the efficiency still remains above 85% after 5 cycles.
