Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic material synthesis, and particularly relates to fly ash-based magnetic hectorite and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hectorite is a synthetic layered silicate material. Its unique nanostructure, high surface area, and adjustable surface charge make it a valuable resource for the treatment of heavy metal, dye, and antibiotic pollution. However, traditional hectorite preparation processes generally rely on chemical raw materials such as high-purity lithium salts, magnesium salts, and silicates. These processes are plagued by high raw material costs and complex synthesis routes (typically using hydrothermal synthesis, which results in low yields due to the low solid-to-liquid ratio per reactor, high wastewater discharge, and low synthesis efficiency). These factors contribute to high costs for large-scale production.

[0003] Fly ash is a solid waste generated by coal combustion in coal-fired power plants, smelting, chemical industries, and other industries. Its main components are SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, and a certain amount of unburned carbon particles. Currently, the global comprehensive utilization rate of fly ash is less than 30%. Existing reports indicate that large-scale fly ash accumulation not only leads to land occupation, but also creates dust pollution and the risk of heavy metal leaching. Traditionally, fly ash is mainly used in building materials (such as cement admixtures) or roadbed fill, but its added value is low and its chemical properties are not fully utilized. Therefore, how to achieve high-value-added utilization of fly ash and transform waste into valuable resources is a major challenge facing academia and industry. Fly ash is mostly in the form of micron-sized particles with a porous structure and high specific surface area (typically 200-400 m² / g), which makes it potentially valuable in the field of adsorption. However, the adsorption capacity of industrial fly ash is limited (typically less than 50 mg / g), and its adsorption capacity for divalent heavy metal ions (such as Pb) is limited. 2+ 、Cd 2+ ) has poor selectivity. In addition, direct use of fly ash in the adsorption field may cause secondary pollution due to alkaline leaching solution (pH>11), and the pH value of the wastewater needs to be additionally adjusted.

[0004] In recent years, with the advent of green chemistry, alternative synthesis processes for preparing industrial adsorption products using fly ash as a raw material have garnered widespread attention. However, fly ash contains a certain amount of mullite and quartz, which are not readily reactive, as well as a high concentration of Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ impurities, necessitating pretreatment. Developing an efficient pretreatment process is currently a key challenge in the comprehensive utilization of fly ash. Furthermore, the concept of magnetic adsorption materials has been proposed in recent years to improve the efficiency of adsorption products. Magnetic adsorption materials are chemically imbued with magnetic properties to enhance their separation and regeneration capabilities. However, the preparation of magnetic materials is plagued by self-aggregation of magnetic materials and the random distribution of functional groups (or defects) on the adsorption material's surface, making it difficult to ensure uniform and efficient loading of the magnetic material. Furthermore, due to the weak interaction between the magnetic material and the adsorption material, the magnetic material is prone to detachment during the regeneration and recycling of the adsorption material, severely reducing the regeneration performance of the magnetic adsorption material. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the challenges of preparing magnetic hectorite in existing technologies, the present invention provides a fly ash-based magnetic hectorite and a method for its preparation. This method uses fly ash-based mineral polymers, produced after fly ash depolymerization, as raw material. The residual surface defects in the polymer are used to immobilize magnetic materials, and microwave progressive irradiation is used to identify whether the magnetic materials are chemically loaded. Furthermore, the hectorite is prepared by leveraging the residual topological structure of the magnetic precursor. During this process, magnetic particles are incorporated into the resulting crystals as the raw material crystallizes, imparting magnetic properties.

[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0021] Furthermore, in step A2, the mass concentration of the ammonia water used is 25%; the mixture I and the ammonia solution are separated by a polytetrafluoroethylene mesh, that is, during the reaction, only the alkaline vapor formed by the heating of the ammonia water serves as the reaction medium.

[0022] Furthermore, in step A4, the freeze-drying conditions are: freezing temperature -80°C, and freeze-drying time is 1-3 days.

[0025] In step B5, aqueous ammonia is used with a mass concentration of 25%. Mixture III and the aqueous ammonia solution are separated by a polytetrafluoroethylene mesh, that is, the reaction in step B6 relies solely on the alkaline vapor formed by the heating of aqueous ammonia as the reaction medium.

[0026] Furthermore, in step B6, the irradiation cycle is specifically each cycle of 100W irradiation for 10s, 150W irradiation for 10s, 200W irradiation for 10s, 250W irradiation for 10s, 300W irradiation for 10s, and rest for 10s.

[0027] Furthermore, in step B1, the fly ash-based mineral polymer is prepared by the following method, specifically comprising:

[0028] C1. Mixing sodium hydroxide and fly ash in a mass ratio of 1:1.4, calcining in a muffle furnace at 720-900° C. for 2-4 hours, or calcining in a microwave muffle furnace at 720-900° C. for 0.5-1 hour; after calcination, removing from the muffle furnace, grinding into powder, and sieving through an 80-mesh sieve to obtain an alkali-fused powder;

[0038] 2. Regarding the process of obtaining fly ash geopolymer, the alkali melting process of fly ash can be treated not only with a muffle furnace, but also with a microwave muffle furnace, which can provide multiple solutions for industrial production.

[0039] 3. During the microwave acid leaching process, the fly ash powder after alkali melting is directly irradiated with microwaves. Due to the differences in the microwave response of chemical bonds between different elements, direct activation is achieved, resulting in consistent activation and rupture of chemical bonds. These ruptured chemical bonds can better bind firmly and uniformly to the magnetic particles through chemical interactions. This also allows Al2O3, Fe2O3, and other components to be separated from the acid vapor, facilitating the separation of fly ash components.

[0040] 4. In the process of preparing magnetic precursors, a solid-phase preparation method and a microwave progressive irradiation screening method are used to weaken the influence of the synthesis process on the magnetic properties of magnetic particles. At the same time, microwave irradiation technology is used to quickly identify the chemical loading behavior between magnetic particles and geopolymers.

[0041] 5. In the process of preparing magnetic hectorite, a solid-phase preparation method is combined with a freeze-drying process, which eliminates the inconveniences of hydrothermal synthesis of hectorite and can also fully reduce the loss of magnetic particles, thereby preparing magnetic hectorite with maximum efficiency.
