Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new material preparation, and particularly relates to a novel modified biochar and its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] Biochar has a rich pore structure on its surface and is rich in oxygen-containing functional groups. It can effectively adsorb cationic heavy metals through adsorption mechanisms such as complexation, electrostatic adsorption, and cation exchange. Using biochar to adsorb heavy metals is a common method, but the adsorption performance of some biochars is limited, and due to their too small particle size and light density, they are in a suspended state and are not easily separated by centrifugation or filtration after adsorption. Usually, people modify biochar and improve its adsorption performance and increase its density by loading to enable rapid separation.

[0003] Cadmium is a common harmful metal element. In various industrial activities such as printing and dyeing, battery production, plastic processing, and chemical engineering, the inevitable discharge of cadmium-containing wastewater. Due to the high mobility and strong bioaccumulation of cadmium, it is easily accumulated in the ecosystem and poses a great threat to human life and health. Methods such as adsorption, chemical precipitation, ion exchange, and membrane separation are commonly used to remove cadmium from wastewater, and the adsorption method is widely used due to its flexibility, high removal rate, and low operating cost. Selecting a suitable adsorbent is the most important factor determining the adsorption efficiency.

[0004] In the prior art, CN119327857 A discloses a method for repairing cadmium-polluted soil by intercropping water spinach with marigold and applying a passivator. HAP-modified biochar prepared by reacting hydroxyapatite and biochar is used as a passivator. First, the passivator is added to cadmium-polluted soil, and the effective cadmium content in the soil treated with biochar and HAP-modified biochar alone is reduced by 34.52% - 40.13%.

[0005] It is of great significance to develop a modified biochar with high adsorption capacity for cadmium using common calcium-rich solid waste raw materials and crop biomass raw materials in life. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve at least one of the above problems, the present invention provides a novel modified biochar and its preparation method and application. This novel modified biochar not only has a simple synthesis method and saves heat energy, but also can effectively adsorb cadmium in water.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical means: The first aspect of the present invention provides a preparation method of a novel modified biochar, comprising the following steps: (1) Place the calcium-rich solid waste raw material in a crusher and crush it to a particle size less than 5 mm; (2) The crop straw powder is dried in an oven at 60 °C for 3 h and then sieved through a 60-mesh sieve. The sieved powder is placed in a ceramic crucible, tightly wrapped with tin foil, and then put into a muffle furnace for pyrolysis at 300 - 600 °C for 3 h. The product is taken out and placed in pure water, shaken at 30 °C and 200 r / min for 24 h, and then filtered and dried to obtain biochar with dissolved organic matter (DOM) removed. (3) The crushed calcium-rich solid waste raw material in (1) is fully mixed with the biochar with dissolved organic matter (DOM) removed, and pure water, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate are added to obtain the raw material before ball milling. (4) The raw material before ball milling is placed in a ball mill tank for ball milling treatment, and a mixed slurry is obtained after ball milling is completed. (5) The mixed slurry in (3) is transferred to a centrifuge tube for centrifugation. The solid precipitate is washed with pure water to remove excess phosphate, placed in an oven for drying, ground and sieved to obtain the novel modified biochar.

[0008] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the pyrolysis temperature is 600 °C.

[0009] In the embodiments of the present invention, the calcium carbonate-rich solid waste in step (1) includes but is not limited to solid wastes mainly composed of calcium carbonate such as oyster shells, shells, and eggshells.

[0010] In the embodiments of the present invention, the mixing mass ratio of the calcium-rich solid waste raw material to the biochar in step (3) is 1:(1 - 2), the calcium-phosphorus ratio is 1:(2.50 - 3.34), and the mass-volume ratio of the calcium-rich solid waste raw material to pure water is 1 g:(60 - 100) mL. Excess phosphate can ensure that calcium carbonate completely reacts to form brushite minerals attached to the surface of the biochar.

[0011] In the embodiments of the present invention, the conditions for the ball milling treatment in step (4) are ball milling at a rotation speed of 250 - 600 r / min for 6 - 12 h, and the mass ratio of the raw material before ball milling to the zirconia balls is 1:(10 - 15).

[0012] In the embodiments of the present invention, the crop straw in step (2) is selected from one or more mixtures of corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw, rapeseed straw, cotton straw, and sugarcane straw.

[0013] The present invention provides an application of a novel modified biochar in adsorbing heavy metal cadmium in water bodies.

[0014] In the embodiments of the present invention, the mass-volume ratio of the novel modified biochar to the heavy metal cadmium-polluted water body is 1:(1000 - 1500).

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pH value of the cadmium-polluted water body is 2 - 7; the adsorption time is 15 min - 24 h.

[0016] The present invention provides an application of a novel modified biochar in the remediation of cadmium-polluted soil.

[0017] In the embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of the novel modified biochar to the cadmium-polluted soil is (1 - 3):20, and it is cultured under greenhouse conditions for 30 - 60 d.

[0018] Advantages of the present invention Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention prepares the original biochar by pyrolyzing agricultural and forestry solid wastes, uses ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate as phosphorus sources, and solid wastes such as shells as calcium sources, and combines deionized water to prepare the novel modified biochar by ball milling. This method simplifies the preparation process and reduces the preparation energy consumption. After the biochar removing dissolved organic matter is modified by ball milling, ball milling increases the specific surface area of the biochar, enriches the pore structure and surface charge, enhances physical adsorption and electrostatic adsorption. During the ball milling process, intermediate crystal CaHPO4·2H2O is formed on the surface and inside the pores of the biochar. The intermediate crystal CaHPO4·2H2O adheres to the surface of the biochar, increasing the adsorption sites; the intermediate crystal CaHPO4·2H2O can effectively adsorb cadmium ions through mechanisms such as coprecipitation. Due to the formation of the intermediate crystal CaHPO4·2H2O, the density of the biochar is changed, making it easy to centrifuge, which is conducive to the separation and recovery of the biochar.

[0019] Biochar itself, as a porous carbon material, has a large specific surface area, pore volume and rich functional groups, and has a large adsorption rate for heavy metal Cd; after the biochar is modified, a new intermediate crystal CaHPO4·2H2O is generated, effectively improving the adsorption efficiency of the biochar for cadmium, improving the surface charge distribution of the biochar, and being beneficial to the adsorption of Cd by the biochar; both the biochar and the CaHPO4·2H2O mineral are slightly alkaline, and the combination of the two can promote the conversion of free Cd ions into insoluble precipitates, thereby reducing the Cd content in the soil; the novel modified biochar can also reduce the mobility and availability of Cd ions in the environment through surface complexation.

[0077] It can be seen from Figure 5 that compared with biochar, the modified biochar has better resistance to pH environmental changes, and NDHBC has better effect than HBC; from Table 2, Figure 6 it can be seen that compared with biochar, the adsorption effect of the new modified biochar is significantly improved, and with the extension of the adsorption time, the adsorption performance of NDHBC is more stable.

[0079] (7)SEM-EDS analysis was carried out on the material prepared in Example 8 after adsorbing Cd, as Figure 7 shown below.

[0080] It can be seen from Figure 7 the upper left and upper right figures in that after the new modified biochar adsorbed Cd, the weight percentage of Cd increased significantly by 2.51%, indicating that Cd was successfully adsorbed on the biochar surface. It can be seen from Figure 7 the lower left figure in that a flower-like crystal structure appeared after the new modified biochar adsorbed Cd, Figure 7 and it can be seen from

[0081] the lower right figure in that the weight percentages of Cd, P, and O elements in this crystal are relatively large, being 29.82%, 6.41%, and 33.31% respectively, while the proportion of Ca element is relatively small, being 0.34%. It is because Ca on the intermediate crystal CaHPO4·2H2O is replaced by Cd atoms, resulting in the formation of the crystal. Figure 8 shown below.

[0082] It can be seen from Figure 8 that by comparing the XRD patterns of HBC6 / NDHBC6 before and after adsorbing Cd, it can be found that the peak intensity of CaHPO4·2H2O weakened, and there was Cd4P8O 12The generation of CaHPO₄·12H₂O crystals was demonstrated. After Cd was adsorbed by CaHPO₄·2H₂O, Ca ions were replaced, resulting in the formation of new crystals.

[0083] (9)The hydroxyapatite prepared in Comparative Example 3 after adsorbing Cd was analyzed by X-ray energy spectrometer (EDS), as Figure 9 shown.

[0084] Figure 9 Figure 9 is the surface element analysis of hydroxyapatite prepared by the ball milling method after adsorbing Cd. By comparison, it can be seen that the brushite in the novel modified biochar has significantly better Cd adsorption performance than hydroxyapatite. The proportion of Cd content on the mineral surface after the novel modified biochar adsorbed Cd is 29.92%, while the Cd content on the surface of hydroxyapatite prepared by the ball milling method is only 14.43% after adsorbing Cd.

[0085] Compare the Figure 9 results with Figure 7 the results in the lower right figure, and it shows that the adsorption of Cd by hydroxyapatite is weaker than that of the intermediate crystal CaHPO₄·2H₂O loaded in the novel modified biochar of this application. Compared with the biochar modified by hydroxyapatite loading, the biochar modified by CaHPO₄·2H₂O loading has better Cd adsorption performance.

[0086] (10)Soil culture experiments were carried out on the samples prepared in Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Example 2, Example 4, Example 7, and Example 8. The method is as follows: The soil sample without adding biochar was used as the control group, and the biochars prepared in Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Example 2, Example 4, Example 7, and Example 8 were added as the experimental groups.

[0087] Under the condition of 25 °C, in the experimental groups, 1 g of biochar material was weighed into a 50 mL centrifuge tube, and 10 g of cadmium-containing soil and 20 mL of pure water were added. The centrifuge tube was placed in a constant temperature oscillator and shaken at a speed of 200 r / min for 2 h and then taken out and placed in a constant temperature incubator for 60 days. The effective cadmium concentration was measured by ICP-MS. The results are as Figure 10 shown.

[0088] It can be Figure 10 seen that the results show that the novel modified biochar in the examples has a significant improvement effect on soil available cadmium. Compared with the CK control group, the soil available cadmium content in the HBC treatment group decreased by 29.09% - 34.81% mg / kg, while the NDHBC decreased by 54.03% - 55.06% mg / kg, and the NDHBC has the best effect.
