Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of textile wastewater treatment technology, specifically, it relates to a method for efficient treatment and recovery of textile wastewater catalyzed by self-generated copper phthalocyanine. Background Technology

[0002] The textile industry is an important part of the national economy, but the wastewater treatment problem generated during its production process is becoming increasingly serious. This type of wastewater typically contains high concentrations of pollutants such as synthetic dyes, auxiliaries, and organometallic pigments, characterized by complex composition, high color intensity, high toxicity, and difficulty in degradation. Direct discharge will cause serious pollution to the aquatic environment. Among the many pollutants, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), as an important organometallic pigment, is widely used in the textile printing and dyeing industry due to its excellent stability and catalytic properties. However, traditional treatment methods often fail to address the recycling of this high-value-added material, resulting in significant resource waste.

[0003] Currently, the main technologies for treating textile wastewater fall into three categories: physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical methods, such as adsorption and membrane separation, are simple to operate, but they only achieve phase transfer of pollutants and cannot fundamentally solve the pollution problem. Advanced oxidation technologies in chemical methods have received widespread attention due to their high degradation efficiency, but they rely on the characteristics of strong oxidizing free radicals, which can destroy valuable recyclable substances such as CuPc in the wastewater while degrading pollutants. Biological methods have limitations such as long treatment cycles and low removal efficiency for recalcitrant organic matter. These traditional technologies generally share a common flaw: they focus too much on pollutant removal efficiency while neglecting the recovery and utilization of high-value-added components in the wastewater, leading to resource waste and increased risks of secondary pollution.

[0004] In practical engineering applications, existing technologies still face numerous challenges: on the one hand, the non-selective attack of strong oxidizing free radicals in traditional oxidation processes can lead to structural damage to valuable substances such as CuPc, rendering them unrecyclable; on the other hand, the introduction of external catalysts not only increases treatment costs but also presents technical difficulties for their recycling and reuse. Furthermore, the complex components in wastewater often significantly interfere with treatment effectiveness, and most processes have stringent requirements for operating conditions such as pH and temperature, limiting their applicability in practical wastewater treatment. These problems make it difficult to achieve the dual goals of "pollution control" and "resource recovery" in textile wastewater treatment, necessitating the development of a treatment technology to overcome this bottleneck. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for preparing aluminum titanate nanofibers.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for efficient treatment and recovery of textile wastewater catalyzed by self-generated copper phthalocyanine includes the following steps: A1. When the mixed dye wastewater containing copper phthalocyanine pigment and synthetic dyes is adjusted to a suitable reaction pH value (3.0-11.0), it exhibits good degradation and recovery performance within the pH range. A2. Add an oxidant to the mixed dye wastewater to carry out an oxidation reaction. Once the reaction is complete, the dye removal is finished. A3. Copper phthalocyanine can be recovered by centrifugation or filtration. The recovered copper phthalocyanine can be recycled after washing with deionized water.

[0007] Optionally, the concentration of copper phthalocyanine is 0.1-0.4 g / L.

[0008] Optionally, the synthetic dye is one or more of Rhodamine B, Crystal Violet, Methyl Orange, Reactive Black 5, Malachite Green, and Methylene Blue.

[0009] Optionally, the oxidant is one of persulfate and perdisulfate; wherein the concentration of persulfate is 0.5-3.0 mM and the concentration of perdisulfate is 0.1-1.0 mM.

[0010] Optionally, the oxidation reaction is carried out at a temperature of 20-30°C for a time of 20-40 minutes.

[0011] The wastewater treatment method of this invention is as follows: by using copper phthalocyanine in the wastewater as a catalyst, an oxidant is activated in situ to generate singlet oxygen, which is highly selective, mild, and efficient. 1 O2), and during the oxidation reaction, it selectively reacts with the dye in the wastewater to complete the dye removal; and because copper phthalocyanine has a stable structure, it can be separated by simple physical methods such as filtration or centrifugation.

[0012] This invention achieves efficient degradation of various synthetic dye pollutants and simultaneous high-purity recovery of CuPc catalyst while avoiding damage to the CuPc structure. It breaks through the technical bottleneck of traditional wastewater treatment that only focuses on pollutant removal and ignores the recovery of high-value-added resources. It has good environmental adaptability, system stability and engineering application potential.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: Advantage 1: Achieves selective and efficient degradation of pollutants This invention utilizes the existing copper phthalocyanine in-situ activated oxidant in wastewater to generate singlet oxygen with a mild oxidation potential and high selectivity, which can achieve broad-spectrum and efficient degradation and decolorization of a variety of synthetic dyes at room temperature and pressure with excellent efficiency. Advantage 2: Simultaneous high-purity recovery of catalyst resources The system of this invention avoids the destruction of CuPc structure by free radicals, and CuPc maintains structural stability during the reaction process. High-purity recovery can be achieved through simple physical means such as filtration. Advantage 3: Simple operation and mild reaction conditions No additional complex catalyst preparation and functional modification are required. The reaction can be carried out directly using CuPc naturally present in wastewater. The system reaction is mild (room temperature, normal pressure, no need for strict pH control), the treatment process is green and environmentally friendly, and it is easy to implement and scale up in engineering. Advantage 4: Strong environmental adaptability of the system This catalytic system can operate stably under a wide range of conditions from pH 3.0 to 11.0, and is effective against Cl. - NO3 - SO4 2- It exhibits good resistance to common anions and humic acid interference, and has good resistance to complex matrices, making it suitable for the treatment of actual dye wastewater from different sources and under different water quality conditions. Advantage 5: Reduces costs and improves economic efficiency and sustainability The "self-catalysis" strategy avoids the addition of precious metals or multi-step synthesis catalysts, improves resource utilization, reduces wastewater treatment costs, and conforms to the concept of green, low-carbon and sustainable development. Advantage 6: Overcoming the traditional technological limitations of "emphasizing degradation and neglecting recycling". This invention achieves the synergistic unity of "pollutant degradation" and "catalyst resource recovery" in the same reaction system for the first time, and constructs a new water treatment technology model that integrates pollution control and resource utilization, providing an innovative paradigm for solving the contradiction between the recovery of high-value-added components and pollution control in complex industrial wastewater. In summary, this invention not only improves the environmental performance and economic benefits of dye wastewater treatment, but also provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the resource-based treatment of industrial pigment / dye wastewater, and has broad application prospects and industrial promotion value.
