Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and specifically to an activated carbon adsorbent for industrial sewage treatment and a preparation method thereof. Background Technique

[0002] The sewage treatment project is a key link in environmental protection; among them, industrial wastewater, due to its complex composition and high toxicity, poses a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Among them, electroplating wastewater, as typical industrial sewage, not only contains high concentrations of heavy metal ions (such as nickel, copper, zinc, chromium and other metal ions), but also often contains complexing agents such as cyanides and EDTA. These substances will form stable complexes with heavy metals, significantly reducing the removal efficiency of traditional adsorbents. For example, although common activated carbon has a certain adsorption capacity for single metal ions, in actual electroplating wastewater, cyanides and organic substances also compete for active sites, which will inhibit the removal rate of heavy metal ions such as chromium. In addition, the surface chemical properties of activated carbon are single, the adsorption capacity for specific pollutants (such as cyanides) is limited, and it is easy to be saturated in high-concentration wastewater, with poor regeneration performance, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high efficiency and economy in industrial wastewater treatment.

[0003] In summary, to solve the above problems, it is of practical value to prepare an activated carbon adsorbent for industrial sewage treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, the concentration of the sucrose solution is 0.1 - 0.15 g / L; the solute is sucrose and iron-based tannic acid with a mass ratio of 8 - 9:1 - 2, and the solution is deionized water.

[0010] Preferably, the preparation method of the iron-based tannic acid is as follows: 2.1.1) Add tannic acid into deionized water to obtain a solution with a concentration of 50 - 60 g / L; adjust the pH to 3 - 4, add the EDC-NHS crosslinking agent; add L-cysteine methyl ester hydrochloride, heat up to 60 - 65 °C and react for 2 - 3 hours; wash and dry to obtain mercapto-functionalized tannic acid; 2.1.2) Add the mercapto-functionalized tannic acid into deionized water, add ferric nitrate and copper nitrate, stir evenly, remove water to obtain iron-based tannic acid.

[0014] An activated carbon adsorbent prepared by a preparation method of an activated carbon adsorbent for industrial sewage treatment.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: Based on activated carbon, combined with organic adsorbents such as polyacrylamide and sodium alginate, a composite activated carbon adsorbent is formed, effectively improving the removal efficiency of pollutants such as metal ions in industrial sewage containing cyanide, etc.; it is not only applicable to cyanide-containing wastewater, but also can efficiently remove heavy metals such as nickel, copper, and zinc, and has broad industrial application prospects.

[0016] In the scheme, the use of modified activated carbon effectively improves the adsorption efficiency. Using coconut shell activated carbon as the basis, it is pre-treated with a phosphoric acid solution to obtain pre-treated activated carbon. In this process, without affecting the internal pores, the interfacial active groups are improved, providing a basis for the subsequent formation of hydrothermal carbon on its surface. Then, the pre-treated activated carbon is added to a sucrose solution for hydrothermal treatment, and then activated with potassium hydroxide to form hydrothermal carbon on the surface of the coconut shell activated carbon.

[0017] Among them, the treatment of loading hydrothermal carbon on the surface of activated carbon will affect the specific surface area of the original coconut shell activated carbon; however, after modification, it can effectively improve the acidic functional groups, increase the surface active sites, and effectively improve the application in actual industrial sewage. First, the hydrothermal carbon is composed of a sucrose solution of specific sucrose and iron-based tannic acid. Compared with a single sucrose aqueous solution, the introduction of iron-based tannic acid has the following advantages: First, it partially decomposes under hydrothermal conditions, and the released carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups can be grafted onto the surface of activated carbon, directly increasing the density of acidic functional groups (such as —COOH, —OH), enhancing the electrostatic adsorption or coordination ability for polar pollutants, and promoting the pollutant removal rate; Second, the coordination structure formed by iron ions and tannic acid may form tiny iron oxide nanoparticles during the hydrothermal process, which are loaded on the hydrothermal carbon layer, providing additional adsorption sites; and it contains sulfur elements, and the two can promote the removal of chromium and inhibit the influence of cyanide. Third, it can stabilize the intermediate product of sucrose carbonization, avoid the disordered carbon deposition generated by the single hydrothermal treatment of high-concentration sucrose, and inhibit the blockage of the original pores of coconut shell activated carbon. It should be noted that: the concentration of the sucrose solution and the introduction amount of iron-based tannic acid need to be limited, otherwise there will be an antagonistic effect.

[0018] Among them, potassium hydroxide activation can partially etch the hydrothermal carbon layer, reopen the covered micropores, alleviate the loss of specific surface area, selectively remove unstable oxygen-containing groups, and retain acidic groups such as carboxyl groups at the same time.

[0019] In the solution, natural polymer sodium alginate and modified polyacrylamide are further crosslinked, effectively improving the mechanical properties and stability of the activated carbon adsorbent, and further enhancing the selective adsorption ability for pollutants. At the same time, in the solution, polyacrylamide is further modified, and 4-mercapto-N,N,N-trimethylanilinium chloride and N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine are grafted onto its chain segment, effectively improving the adsorption efficiency. Among them, the sulfur-containing group has excellent high affinity for soft acid-type metals such as Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, etc., which can improve metal removal; while the betaine structure has a quaternary ammonium cation, which can adsorb anionic pollutants (such as cyanide CN⁻) through electrostatic interaction, effectively improving the inhibition of cyanide; at the same time, it can adapt to a wide range of pH environments and improve stability; the introduction of N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine, on the one hand, has an affinity with EDTA introduced in common electroplating wastewater, which can improve the influence of this substance on the metal ion removal rate; the grafting of the two chain segments can preferentially compete for the adsorption of metal ions, destroy the influence of substances such as cyanide complexes and EDTA, and thus synergistically improve the adsorption and removal of metal ions.

[0020] In addition, the crosslinking network of sodium alginate and modified polyacrylamide can inhibit the aggregation of activated carbon particles and maintain the mesoporous structure of the composite material; ensure the smooth diffusion channel of heavy metal ions. Therefore, the activated carbon adsorbent can achieve a triple synergistic mechanism of physical adsorption (activated carbon) + chemical chelation (PAM graft) + ion exchange (SA), enabling it to exhibit efficient and stable pollutant removal ability in complex industrial wastewater.
