Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental remediation, and specifically provides a method for removing phosphorus and heavy metal elements from phosphorus tailings and phosphogypsum using duckweed. Background Art
[0002] Phosphorus and heavy metal elements contained in phosphorus tailings, if not properly treated, will cause serious pollution to the surrounding soil and water environment, threatening ecological balance and human health. Traditional treatment methods often have problems such as high cost, complex treatment processes, and easy generation of secondary pollution. Currently, the methods for treating phosphorus and heavy metal elements in phosphorus tailings mainly include chemical precipitation method, ion exchange method, and adsorption method. The chemical precipitation method forms insoluble precipitates of phosphorus and heavy metals by adding chemical reagents. Although the treatment efficiency is relatively high, it will generate a large amount of sludge, and the subsequent sludge treatment cost is high, and there is also a risk of secondary pollution.
[0003] Generally, the traditional ion exchange method uses ion exchange resins to adsorb phosphorus and heavy metal ions, but it has strict requirements for operating conditions. Changes in temperature, pH value, etc. will affect the adsorption performance of the resin, and the resin regeneration process is complex and the cost is high. The adsorption method uses adsorption materials such as activated carbon and zeolite. Although it has a good adsorption effect on phosphorus and heavy metals, the cost of the adsorption materials is high, the adsorption capacity is limited, and the adsorbed materials are difficult to treat and regenerate, which limits its large-scale application. In recent years, the application of duckweed in the field of ecological remediation has become increasingly widespread. Research shows that duckweed has a high absorption capacity for nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in sewage and can effectively reduce the eutrophication degree of water bodies. As a common aquatic plant, duckweed has the characteristics of rapid growth, easy access, and strong absorption capacity for nutrients. However, there is currently no mature method for using duckweed to treat pollutants in phosphorus tailings.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for removing phosphorus and heavy metal elements from phosphorus tailings and phosphogypsum using duckweed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

The 90 mesh grinding particle size, 0.3 mol / L acid concentration, 200 r / min stirring speed, and 4-day pre-culture time comprehensively improve the pollutant dissolution efficiency and the adaptability of duckweed. The optimized light intensity of 5000 lx and the spectral ratio of red light:blue light = 3:1 in the photobioreactor significantly promote the photosynthesis of duckweed, and the biomass growth rate reaches 1.8 g / d. The pore structure of the biochar is better at 350 °C, with strong adsorption performance, while avoiding heavy metal volatilization, and the recovery rate is as high as 88.3%;
[0120] In summary, in the present invention, Example 1 is the best example.
[0121] Therefore, compared with the traditional chemical precipitation method that relies on chemical reagents and is prone to produce sludge and secondary pollution, and the ion exchange method and adsorption method that are difficult to be scaled up due to high material costs and complex regeneration, the present invention uses duckweed as a natural adsorption medium, without adding chemical reagents, avoiding sludge generation from the source. Duckweed grows rapidly and is easily obtained, greatly reducing the treatment cost. The biomass after enriching pollutants is converted into high-value products through low-temperature pyrolysis, realizing the resource utilization of pollutants and completely eliminating the risk of secondary pollution. At the same time, the intelligent monitoring and control technology simplifies the operation process and overcomes the defects of the traditional method that requires harsh operating conditions. The present invention takes ecological friendliness, low energy consumption, and high resource recovery rate as the core and solves the environmental pollution problem of phosphorus tailings.
