Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of water treatment, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a fly ash-based ceramic catalytic membrane and application of the fly ash-based ceramic catalytic membrane in catalytic water treatment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coal is the second largest source of fossil fuel in the world today. Although the world has set carbon emission standards to call for emission reduction, the combustion of fossil fuels is inevitable due to the increasing demand for energy. The coal combustion process (thermal power generation, coal gasification) produces a large amount of solid waste-fly ash (Al2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, CaO, MgO and SiO2) with complex components, and the resource utilization of fly ash has been an important issue to be solved in the fields of environmental engineering and material science.

[0003] The current mainstream disposal methods such as landfill and road construction not only occupy a large amount of land resources, but also are difficult to realize high value-added utilization of fly ash, resulting in resource waste. The preparation of ceramic membranes from fly ash is a feasible method for resource utilization of fly ash. However, the components of fly ash are significantly different in different regions due to the influence of coal sources, combustion conditions and other factors, and this complexity leads to difficulties in controlling the sintering temperature during the preparation of ceramic membranes. In addition, the traditional physical membrane separation has a trade-off relationship between "flux-removal efficiency", and at the same time, it also faces the problem of membrane pollution, which limits the further popularization and application of traditional membrane separation technology in the field of organic wastewater deep treatment.
