Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of adsorption materials, and particularly relates to a magnetic modified rice husk biochar, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Methyl orange (MO) is a common and typical acidic anionic monoazo dye, which has the characteristics of high toxicity and difficult degradation, and is generally present in printing and dyeing wastewater. If the printing and dyeing wastewater containing MO is not properly treated, it will remain in the environment for a long time, bringing great harm to the growth of animals and plants and human health. Therefore, great attention should be paid to the pollution problem of MO, and effective pollution remediation technologies should be studied.

[0003] The adsorption method is simple to operate and has good economic benefits, and is the most commonly used method for removing dyes in water. As a typical biomass resource, the biochar produced by direct pyrolysis of rice husk can be used for the adsorption of fuels in printing and dyeing wastewater. It has low production cost and stable structure, but its adsorption capacity is limited, the adsorption rate is low and the separation is difficult; therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of adsorption material with a higher adsorption rate and easy separation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a magnetic modified rice husk biochar, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof, so as to solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A preparation method of a magnetic modified rice husk biochar, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step S1, adding sodium lignosulfonate to deionized water, stirring and dissolving, then adding rice husk biochar, stirring and impregnating at 25°C for 24 h, drying and then transferring it into a tubular furnace, and thermally decomposing at a constant temperature of 600°C for 2 h to obtain lignin modified biochar; by the impregnation method, an appropriate amount of lignin is impregnated into the primary pores of the rice husk biochar, and by occupying the larger pores, more micropores are created after pyrolysis to improve the adsorption rate;

[0008] Step S2: Place ultrapure water in a three-necked flask, stir while introducing nitrogen at room temperature to exhaust the air in the flask, then add lignin-modified biochar and stir to mix. Next, add ferric chloride hexahydrate and ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, and stir in a water bath until completely dissolved. Then, slowly and evenly add concentrated ammonia water, stir and react for 120 min under nitrogen protection. After the reaction, separate the solid with a magnet and vacuum dry at 80 °C for 24 h to obtain magnetically modified rice husk biochar. Adding an alkali to the iron salt solution provides an alkaline environment to generate nanoscale magnetite particles. By using the co-precipitation method to load nanoscale magnetite on the surface of lignin-modified biochar, it can not only prevent the aggregation of nanoscale magnetite, increase the surface adsorption sites and specific surface area of biochar, and improve its adsorption capacity for pollutants, but also increase the redox active sites on the biochar surface and improve its catalytic degradation performance for organic matter.

[0009] Further, the dosage ratio of sodium lignosulfonate, rice husk biochar, and deionized water is 1 g: 2 - 4 g: 100 mL. When the amount of sodium lignosulfonate is lower than that in this application, it can only fill some of the primary pores of rice husk biochar and cannot create smaller pores after pyrolysis, thus unable to play a role in modulating the pore size of biochar. When the amount of sodium lignosulfonate is higher than that in this application, it will not only enter the primary pores of rice husk biochar but also agglomerate and cover the outer surface of rice husk biochar, blocking the original pores and reducing the specific surface area of lignin-modified biochar, thereby affecting the adsorption rate of the final product.

[0010] Further, the rice husk biochar is prepared through the following steps:

[0011] Wash the rice husk raw material with clean water, place it in an oven at 80 °C and dry for 24 h, then crush and sieve it, and then transfer it to a tube furnace. Heat it to 600 °C under nitrogen protection and hold for 2 h to obtain rice husk biochar. Using rice husk as the raw material can realize the resource utilization of agricultural waste and reduce incineration pollution. There are no toxic reagents added during the preparation process, and the product can efficiently treat printing and dyeing wastewater, solving the problem of secondary pollution of traditional adsorbents, with significant environmental and social benefits.

[0012] Further, the pore size of the sieve is 50 - 70 mesh.

[0013] Further, the heating rate is 8 - 10 °C / min. Using gradient heating can ensure the stability of the pore structure of the raw material during carbonization.

[0014] Further, the drying treatment is to first evaporate the water in a water bath at 90 - 95 °C and then dry in an oven at 80 °C for 12 h. The two-stage drying of water bath evaporation and low-temperature drying can effectively avoid the collapse of the pore structure caused by sudden high-temperature changes.

[0015] Furthermore, the dosage ratio of the ultrapure water, lignin-modified biochar, ferric chloride hexahydrate, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, and concentrated ammonia water is 300 mL: 3 - 4 g: 5.4 g: 2.8 g: 30 mL. Generally speaking, increasing the content of iron oxide (magnetite) can provide more active adsorption sites, which is conducive to enhancing the adsorption capacity. However, limited by the specific surface area and pore structure of the biochar, an excessive loading amount often causes the agglomeration of iron oxide and the blockage of biochar pores, reducing the dispersion and accessibility of adsorption sites, and instead decreasing the adsorption rate of the biochar. In the present invention, the loading amount of magnetite in the magnetic modified rice husk biochar is controlled to be approximately 30%.

[0016] Furthermore, the volume fraction of the concentrated ammonia water is 25%.

[0017] A magnetic modified rice husk biochar is prepared by the above preparation method. The magnetic modified biochar has an extremely high specific surface area and a rich pore structure, which endows it with a strong adsorption capacity.

[0018] An application of the magnetic modified rice husk biochar in the adsorption treatment of methyl orange in printing and dyeing wastewater. Methyl orange molecules form electrostatic interactions or combine through hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, π-π interactions, etc. on the effective adsorption sites on the surface of the magnetic modified biochar, thereby adsorbing methyl orange molecules in the printing and dyeing wastewater.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0020] By precisely controlling the dosage ratio of lignin and rice husk biochar, the present invention enables sodium lignosulfonate to impregnate and fill the primary pores of the rice husk biochar, and then form a rich microporous structure through high-temperature pyrolysis, modulating the pore size of the rice husk biochar. At the same time, it can avoid the blockage of pores by excessive lignin, significantly improving the adsorption rate of the rice husk biochar for methyl orange. Through the specific ratio of lignin-modified biochar and iron salt, the present invention uses the coprecipitation method to achieve the uniform dispersion of nanoscale magnetite on the surface of the lignin-modified biochar. It can not only effectively prevent the agglomeration of nanoscale magnetite, but also form rich redox active adsorption sites on the surface of the lignin-modified biochar, which can catalyze the degradation of organic substances such as methyl orange, realizing the adsorption-catalysis synergistic effect, and further improving the adsorption performance of the lignin-modified biochar for methyl orange. In addition, the prepared magnetic modified rice husk biochar can be quickly separated and recovered by a magnet, reducing the energy consumption of traditional centrifugation or filtration and improving the treatment efficiency.

[0021] Through the multi-scale structure design and functional modification, the present invention breaks through the bottleneck of low adsorption rate and difficult recovery of traditional biochar, and has the characteristics of high-efficiency adsorption, catalytic degradation, and magnetic separation, providing an innovative solution for the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater.
