Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment agents, and in particular to a water treatment agent that helps to improve descaling and deoxygenation, and a production process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials composed of metal ion clusters linked by multi-site organic ligands through coordination bonds. They possess high surface area, tunable pore structure, and excellent chemical stability. They are widely used in catalysis, sensing, separation, gas storage, and other fields.

[0003] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are typically prepared via solvothermal or hydrothermal methods. Metal salts and organic ligands are dissolved in a suitable solvent, added to a reactor, and reacted at a specific temperature and time. The resulting product is then filtered, washed, and dried. While MOFs hold great potential for removing various trace pollutants in wastewater treatment, they still have significant limitations in terms of scale removal and deoxygenation.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a water treatment agent and a production process thereof that helps to improve descaling and deoxygenation to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a water treatment agent and a production process thereof that helps to improve descaling and deoxygenation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A process for producing a water treatment agent that helps improve descaling and deoxygenation comprises the following steps: (1) Synthesis of metal-organic framework materials: Mix zinc sulfate heptahydrate, 2-methylimidazole and methanol solution, add them to the reactor, stir vigorously for 12-15 hours, centrifuge, wash with methanol solution, and dry in an oven at 50-55°C for 8-10 hours; (2) Preparation of hydrogel: Hemicellulose was cross-linked with PAM, and then borax was introduced and freeze-dried to obtain the hydrogel; (3) Add the metal organic framework material into DMSO solvent and fully disperse it, then add hydrogel with a mass of 0.8 to 1.1 times that of the metal organic framework material, heat it in a water bath at 38 to 42 ° C and stir it vigorously for 15 to 20 minutes to obtain a uniformly dispersed slurry; use a dropper to draw the slurry and drip it drop by drop into a container filled with deionized water to form spherical particles, let the spherical particles stand for 25 to 30 minutes, and then place them in a 50 to 55 ° C oven to dry for 8 to 10 hours to obtain a water treatment agent that helps improve scale removal and deoxygenation.

[0007] Furthermore, in step (1), the stirring speed is 800-1500 rpm.

[0008] Furthermore, in step (1), the mass ratio of zinc sulfate heptahydrate to 2-methylimidazole is 3.5-4.8:7.2-8.1.

[0009] Furthermore, step (2) is specifically as follows: adding hemicellulose to water to prepare a hemicellulose solution of 0.01~0.03 g / mL; adding PAM to water to prepare a PAM solution of 0.01~0.03 g / mL; adding borax to water to prepare a borax solution of 0.01~0.02 g / mL; then mixing the hemicellulose solution and the PAM solution in a mass ratio of 1:1~3, adding 1~2.2% of the mass of the mixed solution initiator and stirring evenly, placing it at 55~62°C to react for 1~1.5h; adding 8~12% of the mass of the mixed solution borax solution dropwise, stirring while dropping until the solution becomes viscous; finally placing it in a vacuum freeze dryer for freeze-drying to obtain a hydrogel.

[0010] Furthermore, in step (2), the freeze-drying treatment conditions are: vacuum degree <10Pa, -20°C, and freeze-drying for 12 to 15 hours.

[0011] Furthermore, ammonium persulfate is used as the initiator.

Performance testing demonstrates superior scale removal, oxygen removal, and reusability. This approach is widely applicable to wastewater treatment applications, enhancing both scale and oxygen removal. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
