Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of environmental protection, in particular to a La-Ca-Fe@MOF core-shell composite adsorbent with a hierarchical mesopore-micropore structure, a low-temperature microwave-assisted preparation method thereof, and a wastewater phosphorus removal-phosphorus recovery-material regeneration integrated application process. In particular, it can be used as an environmental functional material and is suitable for water pollution control technology. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the prior art, La-Ca-Fe composite adsorbents are used for water phosphorus pollution control, and three major technical bottlenecks are often encountered: (1) The adsorption efficiency of traditional La-based adsorbents significantly decreases under neutral-alkaline conditions, and the adsorption capacity decreases by more than 40% when the solution pH is greater than 7, resulting in the need for pH adjustment before application of La-based adsorbents, otherwise the adsorption stability cannot be guaranteed.
[0003] (2) The regeneration energy consumption of saturated adsorbents is high, and traditional thermal regeneration requires heating the adsorbent at a temperature of more than 400℃, resulting in high energy consumption per unit of phosphorus recovery. If the thermal regeneration temperature is reduced, the adsorbent cannot be fully regenerated, and the saturated adsorption volume of the adsorbent is greatly reduced. At the same time, the purity of the phosphorus recovery product is low.
[0004] (3) There are problems such as slow adsorption kinetics and large mass transfer resistance in large-scale applications. In laboratory small-scale research, new adsorbents perform well, but in actual applications, they often cannot achieve ideal results.
[0005] Therefore, although the existing La-Ca-Fe composite material has certain phosphorus removal capacity, it lacks adaptability design for complex water quality conditions, and a sustainable "adsorption-regeneration-resource recovery" closed-loop system has not been established. The adsorption performance of oxygen vacancy-containing metal oxides in the composite material is significantly affected by pH, while the porous structure of the MOF material can regulate the diffusion path of the adsorbate.
[0006] The composite material prepared by traditional mechanical mixing method has problems such as weak interface bonding and insufficient exposure of active sites, and it is difficult to be used in the granulation and molding process of La-Ca-Fe composite material.
[0007] In addition, although the electrochemical regeneration technology can realize in-situ activation of the adsorbent, the existing system has defects such as high energy consumption (electric potential > 1.5V) and multiple side reactions. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to more clearly analyze and illustrate the La-Ca-Fe@MOF core-shell composite adsorbent of the present application, the following preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail. In order to better help the technical personnel understand the core idea and implementation method of the present application, some specific parameter preferred cases are also provided. These are the innovative content of the present application and should be included in the protection scope of the present application, and should not be regarded as ordinary technical knowledge in the art.
[0032] The La-Ca-Fe@MOF core-shell composite adsorbent of the present application is an adsorbent material with a core-shell structure. The inner core is a La-Ca-Fe ternary metal oxide. In some specific embodiments of the present application, the molar ratio of the three metal elements in the inner core can be La:Ca:Fe=1:2.5-3.5:3.5-5.0. The molar ratio here is calculated based on the atomic number of the three metal elements, and the corresponding weight used is slightly different for different salt raw materials. The calculation should be based on the atomic weight of the metal elements.
[0033] Preferably, the molar ratio of the three metal elements is La:Ca:Fe=1:3:4.
[0034] The shell of the La-Ca-Fe@MOF core-shell composite adsorbent of the present application is a ZIF-8 type MOF shell layer, and the MOF shell layer has a hierarchical pore network of mesopores and micropores. This unique pore network structure allows the La-Ca-Fe ternary metal oxide in the inner core to better selectively contact the target adsorbent, and the hierarchical pore structure can increase the adsorption rate by 1-2 orders of magnitude, which is particularly advantageous for dynamic adsorption in water. The hierarchical pore network of mesopores and micropores greatly increases the specific surface area, ensuring the capture ability of the target adsorbent. In addition, the hierarchical pore network of mesopores and micropores also forms a buffer zone, avoiding the breakage of the inner core ternary metal adsorbent when the adsorbent is put into water, and improving the service life of the material.
[0035] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the surface of the inner core has a 5-15 nm thick hydroxyapatite transition layer.
[0036] Hydroxyapatite is widely used in the field of biological medicine, and the application of the hydroxyapatite in the modification of the core-shell structure is innovative, the HAP is used as a transition layer to relieve the mismatching problem of the thermal expansion coefficient or elastic modulus between the core and the shell layer, and the interface stress is reduced, so that the composite adsorbent is less likely to be broken and invalid in the recycling process.
[0037] Preferably, the thickness of the hydroxyapatite transition layer is 5-10 nm. 2+ -PO4 3- The coordination bond enhances the core-shell binding force, and a double active center of 'oxygen vacancy-HAP' is constructed.
[0038] In some specific embodiments of the application, the shell is a MOF shell layer, and a sulfonic acid group is introduced into the MOF shell layer to construct a sulfonic acid group modified ZIF-8 type MOF shell layer. When the pH of the solution changes, the surface functional groups of the adsorbent will dissociate or protonate, resulting in a change in the surface charge property, thereby affecting the adsorption capacity for charged ions (such as phosphate). Under acidic conditions of pH < 6, the sulfonic acid group dissociates into -SO 3⁻ ⁻, and the positive charge of the inner core La 3 ⁺ and Fe 3 ⁺ is electrostatically attracted to strengthen the capture of H2PO 4⁻ ⁻; under alkaline conditions of pH > 7, the surface hydroxyl groups of the inner core metal oxide are deprotonated, and the MOF shell layer releases Zn 2 ⁺ to form Zn3(PO4)2 precipitate with PO4 3⁻ ⁻, realizing the dual-mechanism of 'electrostatic attraction + chemical precipitation' for phosphorus removal.
[0039] In addition, the change in pH will also change the existing form of phosphate in the solution, such as H2PO4 ⁻ ⁻, HPO4 2⁻ ⁻ and PO4 3⁻ ⁻, and the mesoporous and microporous MOF shell of the adsorbent can also assist the entry of phosphate into the interior of the adsorbent, so as to adapt to the adsorption requirements of different forms of phosphate.
[0040] In short, at low pH, the phosphorus element in the water body is mainly H2PO4⁻, which is captured by the composite adsorbent through inner sphere complexation (such as La-O-P bond) and electrostatic attraction; at high pH, the phosphorus element in the water body is mainly HPO4 2⁻ ⁻ and PO4 3⁻ ⁻, in addition to the complexation effect, the released Zn 2 ⁺ of the MOF can form a difficult-to-dissolve salt precipitate, thereby improving the removal efficiency.
[0041] Therefore, the application is a pH-responsive La-Ca-Fe@MOF core-shell composite adsorbent.
[0042] Preferably, the La-Ca-Fe@MOF core-shell composite adsorbent is a pH-responsive La-Ca-Fe@MOF core-shell composite adsorbent.
[0043] By introducing sulfonic acid groups (-SO3H) modification in the MOF shell layer, a pH-responsive site is realized, and the problem that the adsorption performance of traditional adsorbents is easily affected by changes in pH is overcome.

[0061] The ratio of 2-methylimidazole to zinc nitrate added to the second solvent is as follows: the molar ratio of 2-MI:Zn 2 ⁺ = 8-13:1, preferably 10:1. Zinc is calculated as zinc ions, and other zinc salts can be used instead of zinc nitrate. Zinc nitrate has the best stability and solubility, so it is usually selected.

Through precise control of energy input position by microwave, local activation is realized on the surface of the core, which promotes the heterogeneous directional growth of MOF crystals and constructs a controllable core-shell composite material. The obtained MOF shell usually retains microporous characteristics, so that the adsorption performance of the composite adsorbent is much better than that of conventional adsorbent materials.

[0112] Table 1: Adsorbent performance test results
[0113] As can be seen from the foregoing examples and comparative examples, the composite adsorbent material of the present application has the characteristic of wide pH adaptability, and the adsorption capacity of the traditional La-based adsorbent significantly decreases (decreases by more than 40% at pH>7) under alkaline conditions. The adsorption capacity of the composite adsorbent of each embodiment of the present application is ≥95mgP / g in the pH range of 3-11, and still maintains 87mgP / g at pH=9, which is suitable for different water quality conditions (such as domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, and natural water bodies).
[0114] The adsorbent of the present application can trigger the desorption behavior of the adsorbent (such as the competition of OH⁻ and PO4 3 ⁻ active sites under alkaline conditions) through pH change, combined with electrochemical regeneration technology, to realize low-energy in-situ activation, and the regeneration efficiency is >90%, and the energy consumption per cycle is only 0.12kWh / kg, solving the problem of difficult regeneration of traditional adsorbents.
[0115] As can be seen from the foregoing experimental records, the present application breaks through the performance bottleneck of traditional adsorbents through triple innovation of material design, preparation process and application mode, and constructs a phosphorus pollution control and resource recovery technology system with engineering application prospect. Compared with the prior art, the pH adaptability, regeneration energy consumption and resource recovery rate are significantly improved, the adsorbent is endowed with the sensing and feedback ability to the environmental pH, and it can automatically adjust the adsorption mechanism under different acid-base conditions, thereby improving the phosphorus removal efficiency, widening the application scenarios, breaking through the limitation of traditional adsorbent to pH conditions, and realizing the intelligent design and application of environmental functional materials.
