Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil heavy metal treatment, and particularly relates to a method for efficiently removing heavy metals from soil. Background Art

[0002] The heavy metal problem in soil is a complex environmental issue, involving the dual impacts of natural processes and human activities; among them, natural process factors include bedrock weathering, volcanic eruptions, sedimentation cycles, etc., and human activity factors include industrial emissions, agricultural inputs, mining, electronic waste, etc.

[0003] Especially heavy metals represented by mercury, lead, and cadmium are difficult to be naturally degraded after entering the soil. Long-term accumulation will lead to a decline in soil fertility, affect the activity of soil microorganisms, have an impact on the ecological environment, plant growth, and soil animals, and will also pose a potential threat to human health through the enrichment effect of the food chain. Therefore, the digestion project of soil heavy metals is an issue that the agricultural field has to face.

[0004] Currently, the main methods for digesting soil heavy metals are as follows: physical measures (soil replacement, electrokinetic remediation), chemical passivation (biochar modification, phosphate degradation), bioremediation (hyperaccumulator plants, microbial enhancement), combined remediation (plant-mycorrhiza combination, chemical-biological combination). With the progress of technology, in recent years, some advanced technologies such as nanomaterial remediation and gene editing have emerged. However, these technologies all have some defects more or less. For example, the physical measures take too long and have low efficiency, the chemical passivation has a high risk of drug residues, and the nanoremediation also has a risk of nanoparticle residues.

[0005] Based on supramolecular cage technology, the present application has developed a method for efficiently removing heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium from soil. The so-called supramolecular cage is a molecular aggregate formed by two or more molecules through non-covalent interactions (such as hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, etc.). The supramolecular cage has a unique cavity structure, which can enhance the affinity for specific molecules through dynamic changes and exhibit excellent recognition and encapsulation capabilities for specific guest molecules.

[0035] Heavy metals usually exist in the form of metal ions in the soil, and the acidic root ions in citric acid and tartaric acid will form complexes with metal cations, so that the dissolution rate of Hg 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ in the soil can reach more than 95%, providing a basic guarantee for the subsequent removal of heavy metal ions.

[0036] S3 - Preparation of supramolecular cage: Using cucurbit[8]uril as the main framework, grafting thiol, phosphate ester, carboxylic acid / amino high-affinity groups on its cage wall, and covalently connecting with Fe3O4@SiO2 to form a supramolecular cage complex; the specific preparation steps of this supramolecular cage complex are as follows:

[0039] Cucurbit[8]uril is a supramolecular compound, and its chemical structure is a hollow gourd-shaped structure composed of eight nitrogen-oxygen heterocyclic groups (C3H3NO). Due to its unique cavity structure, it can form stable host-guest complexes with compatible molecules, so it can be used for molecular recognition and separation.

[0040] 3-Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane is a sulfur-containing silane compound, which contains an active organic mercapto group (-SH) and three hydrolyzable methoxy groups (CH3O-), and each nitrogen-oxygen heterocycle couples an organic mercapto group (-SH), thus forming cucurbit[8]uril with 8 -SH groups.

[0041] DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide, which has good solubility for a variety of organic and inorganic compounds and is used here as the reaction solvent for cucurbit[8]uril and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane.

[0042] S32: Introduction of phosphate ester group

[0043] Couple thiolated cucurbit[8]uril with trichloroethyl phosphate under the catalysis of EDC / NHS, introducing 4 -PO4 groups into each cucurbit[8]uril; among them, EDC / NHS is a commonly used coupling method in the chemical field, which can separate the phosphate ion (-PO4) of trichloroethyl phosphate and couple it with thiolated cucurbit[8]uril. 3- 3-

[0044] S33: Carboxylic acid / amino bifunctionalization

[0045] Perform an anhydride reaction on the remaining hydroxyl groups (-OH) of thiolated cucurbit[8]uril with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid to form an EDTA-cucurbit[8]uril complex. Specifically, esters and amides can be generated during the anhydride reaction, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is connected to the hydroxyl group (-OH) of cucurbit[8]uril through an ester bond or an amide bond to form a stable covalent bond.

[0046] Since consuming 1 hydroxyl group (-OH) and removing 1 molecule of water (H2O) are required for each connection of 1 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid molecule, there are two reaction paths for the generated EDTA-cucurbit[8]uril complex:

[0047] (1) If 1 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid molecule is grafted onto each thiolated cucurbit[8]uril, the reaction equation is:

[0048] ‌C 48 H 48 N 32 O 16 + C 10 H 16 N2O8-H2O → C 58 H 62 N 34 O 23 ‌

[0049] (2) If 4 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid molecules are grafted (for example, modified at 4 hydroxyl sites of cucurbit[8]uril), the reaction equation is:

[0050] ‌C 48 H 48 N 32 O 16 + 4(C 10 H 16 N2O8)-4H2O → C 88 H 100 N 40 O 44 ​​

[0061] Citric acid and tartaric acid are added by spraying, so that they can penetrate more fully and evenly into the soil. Whether to sprinkle water is selected according to the soil humidity, and the water content of the soil is measured by a handheld soil moisture detector to ensure that the water content is 12%.

[0062] Heavy metals usually exist in the form of metal ions in the soil, and the acidic root ions in citric acid and tartaric acid will form complexes with metal cations, so that the dissolution rate of Hg 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ in the soil can reach more than 95%, providing a basic guarantee for the subsequent removal of heavy metal ions.

Due to its unique cavity structure, it can form stable host - guest complexes with compatible molecules, so it can be used for molecular recognition and separation.

[0067] 3 - Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane is a sulfur - containing silane compound, which contains an active organic mercapto group (-SH) and three hydrolyzable methoxy groups (CH3O-), and each nitrogen - oxygen heterocycle is coupled with an organic mercapto group (-SH) to form cucurbit[8]uril with 8 - SH groups.

[0068] DMF is N,N - dimethylformamide, which has good solubility for a variety of organic and inorganic compounds and is used as the reaction solvent for cucurbit[8]uril and 3 - mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane here.

[0069] S32: Introduction of phosphate ester groups

[0070] The thiolated cucurbit[8]uril is coupled with trichloroethyl phosphate under the catalysis of EDC / NHS, and 4 - PO4 are introduced into each cucurbit[8]uril 3-Group; among them, EDC / NHS is a commonly used coupling method in the chemical field, which can separate the phosphate ion (-PO4 3- ) of trichloroethyl phosphate and couple it with thiolated cucurbit[8]uril.

[0072] The remaining hydroxyl groups (-OH) of thiolated cucurbit[8]uril are subjected to an acid anhydride reaction with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid to form an EDTA-cucurbit[8]uril complex. Specifically, esters and amides can be generated during the acid anhydride reaction, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is connected to the hydroxyl group (-OH) of cucurbit[8]uril through an ester bond or an amide bond to form a stable covalent bond.

[0073] Since each time 1 molecule of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is connected, 1 hydroxyl group (-OH) needs to be consumed and 1 molecule of water (H2O) is removed, there are two reaction paths for the generated EDTA-cucurbit[8]uril complex:

[0074] (1) If each thiolated cucurbit[8]uril grafts 1 molecule of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, the reaction equation is:

[0075] ‌C 48 H 48 N 32 O 16 + C 10 H 16 N2O8-H2O → C 58 H 62 N 34 O 23 ‌
