Furthermore, N,N-dimethylformamide in the catalyst acts as an organic solvent to promote the decomposition of macromolecular organic matter, while also serving as a carrier to enhance the dispersibility of other catalytic components. Cationic polyacrylamide, through its cationic properties, adsorbs negatively charged colloidal particles, forming a "bridging" effect to accelerate flocculation.

By catalytically decomposing organic matter such as o-benzenesulfinyl chloride using DFM, the COD removal rate is increased to 35%, while the decomposition products (such as benzenesulfonic acid derivatives) are reused as chemical intermediates, solving the problem of ash residue generated from organic matter incineration in existing technologies. The copper salt concentration and separation are completed in three stages: catalysis, distillation, and centrifugation, eliminating complex processes such as neutralization precipitation, electrodeposition, or multiple crystallization in traditional processes. This reduces equipment investment, is environmentally friendly, and has low processing costs.

The copper salt concentration and separation are completed in three stages: catalysis, distillation, and centrifugation, eliminating complex processes such as neutralization precipitation, electrodeposition, or multiple crystallization in traditional processes. This reduces equipment investment, is environmentally friendly, and has low processing costs.
[0047] The method provided by the present invention will be further explained and described below through optional embodiments.
[0048] In step S101, the copper sulfate wastewater is pretreated to obtain the target analyte with a molecular weight within a preset range.
[0049] In one optional embodiment, the copper sulfate wastewater is pretreated by: filtering the copper sulfate wastewater with an aluminum membrane with a diameter of 0.5 μm to 1 μm to retain organic matter with a molecular weight greater than 500 Da, thereby obtaining a target treated material with a molecular weight less than 500 Da and a molecular particle size of 100 μm > 10 μm.
[0050] For example, copper sulfate wastewater is filtered using aluminum membranes with diameters of 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, or 1 μm, etc., to retain organic matter with a molecular weight greater than 500 Da, resulting in a product with a molecular weight less than 500 Da and a particle size of 100 μm > 10 μm. For example, target treated products with molecular particle sizes of 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 55 μm, 60 μm, or 65 μm.
[0051] Step S102: Add a catalyst to the target material for reaction, wherein the molar ratio of the target material to the catalyst is 100:0.5 to 1. For example, the molar ratio of the target material to the catalyst can be 100:0.5, 100:0.6, 100:0.7, 100:0.8, 100:0.9, or 100:1.0, etc.
[0052] In step S103, the reactants of the catalytic reaction are subjected to vacuum distillation to obtain the distillate.
[0053] In one optional embodiment, the reactants of the catalytic reaction are distilled for 10 to 20 minutes under a vacuum of 0.15 MPa to 0.35 MPa and a vacuum of -0.086 MPa or higher, so that the temperature rises to 85° to 90°, and then cooled with water at -15° to 17°.
[0054] Furthermore, the reactants in the catalytic reaction can be distilled for 10, 15, or 20 minutes at steam pressures of 0.15 MPa, 0.16 MPa, 0.17 MPa, 0.18 MPa, 0.19 MPa, 0.20 MPa, 0.21 MPa, 0.22 MPa, 0.23 MPa, 0.24 MPa, 0.3 MPa, 0.32 MPa, 0.33 MPa, and 0.35 MPa, with a vacuum degree of -0.086 MPa, to raise the temperature to 85°C, 86°C, 87°C, 88°C, 89°C, and 90°C, and then cooled with water at temperatures of -15°C, -14°C, -13°C, -12°C, -11°C, -10°C, -7°C, -5°C, -1°C, 1°C, 5°C, 8°C, 9°C, 10°C, 14°C, 16°C, and 17°C.
[0055] Adjust the steam pressure to 0.18 MPa and perform vacuum distillation for 1.5 to 2 hours to obtain the distillate. For example, adjust the steam pressure to 0.18 MPa and perform vacuum distillation for 1.5 or 2 hours to obtain the distillate.
[0056] In step S104, the copper sulfate water content and hydrochloric acid content of the distillate are tested. When the hydrochloric acid content in the distillate is less than the first preset content and the copper sulfate water content is less than the second preset content, centrifugation is performed to obtain copper sulfate crystals.
[0057] In one optional embodiment, the first preset content is 15% to 18%, and the second preset content is 30% to 35%. For example, the first preset content can be 15%, 16%, 17%, or 18%, and the second preset content can be 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, or 35%.
[0058] For example, the catalyst may include 0.05 parts, 0.06 parts, 0.07 parts, 0.08 parts, 0.09 parts, or 0.1 parts by weight of N,N-dimethylformamide; 0.15 parts, 0.16 parts, 0.17 parts, 0.18 parts, 0.19 parts, or 0.2 parts by weight of cationic polyacrylamide; and 0.15 parts, 0.16 parts, 0.17 parts, 0.18 parts, 0.19 parts, or 0.2 parts by weight of Al2(OH). m [(SO4)3]n.
[0059] Preferably, the composition is N,N-dimethylformamide: cationic polyacrylamide: polyaluminum sulfate (Al2(OH)2) m (SO4)3]n)=1:3:4 (by mass ratio), and the total addition amount can be adjusted to 0.05:0.15:0.3 (by mass ratio) when the baseline of 100:0.5 is maintained.
[0060] In one optional embodiment, the step of adding a catalyst to the target material includes: adding N,N-dimethylformamide to the target material to degrade organic matter, reacting for 20-30 minutes, and adding cationic polyacrylamide when the reaction pH reaches 4-5; and adding a composite system of polyaluminum sulfate and cationic polyacrylamide to carry out a catalytic reaction.
[0061] First, N,N-dimethylformamide (DFM) (0.05%) is added to decompose organic matter, preferentially degrading macromolecular pollutants such as o-phenylenesulfinyl chloride through the π-π action of DFM. Then, a composite system of polyaluminum sulfate (0.2%) and CPAM (0.15%) is added, utilizing Al... 3+ The charge neutralization effect of Cu(OH)2 and the bridging effect of CPAM (with a molecular weight of 8-12 million) form flocs with a particle size of 50-200 nm, thereby improving the capture efficiency of Cu(OH)2 colloids.
[0062] In one optional embodiment, the molecular weight of the cationic polyacrylamide includes a first molecular weight gradient and a second molecular weight gradient, wherein the molecular weight of the first molecular weight gradient is smaller than that of the second molecular weight gradient; when the reaction pH reaches 4-5, the cationic polyacrylamide of the first molecular weight gradient is added; and a composite system of polyaluminum sulfate and cationic polyacrylamide of the second molecular weight gradient is added to carry out a catalytic reaction.
[0063] In one optional embodiment, the molecular weight of the first molecular weight gradient is 3-5 million, and the molecular weight of the second molecular weight gradient is 12-15 million. Exemplarily, the molecular weight of the first molecular weight gradient can be 3 million, 3.3 million, 3.6 million, 3.8 million, 4 million, 4.5 million, 4.8 million, or 5 million, etc., and the molecular weight of the second molecular weight gradient can be 12 million, 12.4 million, 13 million, 13.6 million, 14.4 million, 14.7 million, 14.8 million, or 15 million, etc.
[0064] In one alternative implementation, Al2(OH) m The particle size of [(SO4)3]n is 10nm to 50nm. For example, it can be 10nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 36nm, 40nm, 45nm or 50nm, etc.
[0065] In an optional embodiment, the catalyst further includes mesoporous silica with a pore size of 3 nm to 5 nm. By using mesoporous silica to support DFM, the molecular sieve effect is controlled, ensuring that the molecular weight of DFM (73.09 g / mol) matches the pore size of the support, thus preventing large organic molecules from clogging the active sites.
[0066] On the other hand, a copper sulfate wastewater treatment system is provided, wherein the copper sulfate wastewater treatment system uses any of the copper sulfate wastewater treatment methods described above for treatment.
