Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of composite materials for environmental treatment, and in particular relates to an inorganic-organic hybrid amphoteric flocculant, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Flocculants are a widely used agent in the current field of wastewater treatment and water conservation and reuse engineering technology. Based on the charge of the functional groups in the flocculant structure, they are divided into anionic, cationic, and amphoteric flocculants. Amphoteric flocculants contain both anionic and cationic groups and are suitable for treating wastewater systems where positively and negatively charged pollutants coexist, and they have a wider applicable pH range. In actual application, when faced with complex wastewater systems, the use of amphoteric flocculants can effectively avoid the simultaneous addition of anionic and cationic flocculants, thereby improving treatment results and reducing treatment costs.
[0003] CN115785441A discloses an amphoteric flocculant for treating oilfield oily wastewater and its preparation method. The method comprises reacting methyl acrylate, a polyamine or diamine, a quaternary ammonium salt monomer, carbon disulfide, and a strong base. The methyl acrylate and the polyamine or diamine are first reacted to form a polyamide-amine. The polyamide-amine and the quaternary ammonium salt monomer are then subjected to a substitution reaction or Michael addition reaction to form a hyperbranched cationic polymer. Finally, an alkali solution and carbon disulfide are added dropwise to the resulting polymer solution to produce the amphoteric flocculant for treating oilfield oily wastewater. However, the flocculant contains only organic components and has limited electrical neutralization and precipitation trapping capabilities, thereby affecting the overall flocculation performance of the flocculant.
[0004] CN108864363A discloses an amphoteric flocculant and its preparation method. The method involves preparing an amphoteric polymer aqueous solution by solution polymerization using dimethyldiallylammonium chloride and sodium allylsulfonate as raw materials, sodium formate as a chain transfer agent, and potassium persulfate as an initiator. An acidity regulator is then added to obtain the amphoteric flocculant. This flocculant can be used to treat produced wastewater from polymer flooding in offshore oilfields, but its viscosity is relatively low, and its stability needs to be improved.

[0045] (2) The present invention separately prepares a polysilicic acid-based inorganic-organic hybrid flocculant and an inorganic-organic hybrid cationic flocculant, and then mixes the two in proportion to obtain an amphoteric flocculant. This effectively prevents the agglomeration of the inorganic components, achieving uniform recombination of the inorganic and organic components, and also avoids the problem of low molecular weight of the flocculant caused by copolymerization of anionic and cationic monomers.

[0046] (3) The amphoteric flocculant of the present invention is used for the simultaneous removal of positively and negatively charged suspended particles. Since it can capture both positively and negatively charged suspended matter at the same time, forming flocs with larger particle sizes, it can achieve rapid and efficient sedimentation of suspended particles, significantly reduce the turbidity of wastewater, reduce interference with subsequent membrane treatment, catalytic oxidation and other processes, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the entire water treatment process.
