Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic dye catalytic degradation technology, and in particular to a method for degrading wastewater containing Rhodamine B dye. Background Technology

[0002] Organic synthetic dyes are widely used in industries such as textiles due to their vibrant colors and low cost. However, the use of organic synthetic dyes generates large amounts of wastewater, ultimately causing water pollution. Because dye wastewater has high color intensity, strong stability, and certain toxicity and carcinogenicity, its treatment is significantly more difficult.

[0003] Amorphous alloys exist in a non-equilibrium state, and the activation energy required for chemical reactions is lower than that of traditional crystalline alloys, making them ideal catalysts. Iron-based amorphous alloys are widely used to degrade organic dyes via Fenton-like reactions, but traditional iron-based amorphous ribbons have the problem of large quantities required. Therefore, it is crucial to explore an amorphous alloy with high degradation efficiency.

[0004] Iron-based amorphous nanoparticles have a much larger specific surface area than traditional iron-based amorphous strips, thus exhibiting higher catalytic degradation efficiency. Furthermore, due to their excellent magnetic properties, the particles can be recovered by applying a magnetic field after the degradation reaction is complete. Therefore, providing iron-based amorphous particles for the catalytic degradation of organic dye wastewater is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for degrading wastewater containing Rhodamine B dye. By preparing Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles using a specific method and applying them to degrade Rhodamine B dye in wastewater, the degradation time of Rhodamine B dye is significantly shortened and the degradation rate of Rhodamine B dye is improved.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides a method for degrading wastewater containing Rhodamine B dye, comprising the following steps:

[0008] The pH of the Rhodamine B dye wastewater was adjusted to 2.5–3.5, Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles were added, the mixture was sonicated, and hydrogen peroxide was added to obtain the degraded wastewater.

[0009] Preferably, hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is used to adjust the pH of the Rhodamine B dye wastewater.

[0010] Preferably, the preparation method of the Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles is as follows: ferrous chloride or ferrous sulfate is mixed with sodium fluorosilicate, sodium borohydride is added under inert gas protection, the mixture is reacted, washed with water and / or anhydrous ethanol, and vacuum dried to obtain the Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles.

[0011] Preferably, the molar ratio of ferrous ions to silicon ions during mixing is 1:0.1 to 0.2; and the particle size of the Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles is 50 to 90 nm.

[0012] Preferably, the inert gas is nitrogen or argon; the molar concentration of sodium borohydride is 1-3 mol / L, and the molar ratio of sodium borohydride to ferrous chloride or ferrous sulfate is 1:0.1-0.3.

[0013] Preferably, the vacuum drying temperature is 50–60°C, and the vacuum drying time is 6–10 hours.

[0014] Preferably, the mass-volume concentration of Rhodamine B dye in the Rhodamine B dye wastewater is 10–50 mg / L.

[0015] Preferably, the mass-to-volume ratio of the Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles to the Rhodamine B dye wastewater is 5–20 mg: 1 L.

[0016] Preferably, the temperature of the ultrasound is 20-30°C, and the duration of the ultrasound is 2-10 minutes.

[0017] Preferably, the molar concentration of the hydrogen peroxide is 4 to 6 mmol / L.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0019] This invention prepares Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles via a chemical reduction method. This preparation method is simple to operate and has relatively low preparation cost. Compared with traditional Fe-Si-B amorphous strips, less Fe-Si-B is required for the degradation of organic dyes, thus solving the problem of large amounts of iron-based amorphous alloy catalysts in existing technologies. Furthermore, the prepared Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles can achieve a Rhodamine B degradation rate of over 99% in a short time, and the cost is low, showing potential application prospects in the field of organic dye wastewater degradation.

[0063] Comparative Example 1

[0064] The method described in Example 1 was used to degrade Rhodamine B dye in wastewater, except that "Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles" were replaced with "crystalline reduced iron powder (purchased from Shanghai Maclean Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.)".

[0065] Experimental Example 1

[0066] Rhodamine B dye in wastewater was degraded according to the methods described in Examples 1, 4 to 12, and Comparative Example 1. 2 mL of the degraded wastewater was collected at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes after the addition of hydrogen peroxide and stirring. The absorbance at 554 nm was measured using a visible light spectrophotometer. The concentration of the Rhodamine B solution was directly proportional to its absorbance at 554 nm, thus calculating the degradation rate of Rhodamine B at different time points. The formula for calculating the Rhodamine B degradation rate is: η = (C0 - C...) t ) / C0×100%, where η is the degradation rate, C0 is the initial concentration of Rhodamine B solution, and C t Let be the concentration of Rhodamine B solution at time t. The results are as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown.

[0067] The results showed that when the H2O2 concentration increased from 2.5 mmol / L to 5 mmol / L, the time required for the degradation of Rhodamine B decreased from 30 min to 15 min. However, when the initial H2O2 concentration increased to 10 mmol / L and 20 mmol / L, the degradation efficiency actually decreased; after 30 min of degradation, the degradation rates of Rhodamine B were 95.0% and 93.8%, respectively.

[0068] With increasing addition of Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles, the degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B significantly increased. At an addition concentration of 5 mg / L, Rhodamine B was degraded after 30 minutes; when the concentration increased to 20 mg / L, it was degraded in just 2 minutes.

[0069] When the stirring temperature was 25℃, Rhodamine B was degraded after 15 minutes, while when the stirring temperature was 70℃, Rhodamine B was degraded in only 2 minutes.

[0070] After 30 minutes of degradation of Rhodamine B using crystalline reduced iron powder, the degradation rate was 60.8%. However, when Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles were used, the degradation time was significantly shortened and the degradation rate was significantly improved. Therefore, the degradation efficiency of Fe-Si-B amorphous nanoparticles was significantly better than that of crystalline reduced iron powder.

[0071] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a method for degrading wastewater containing Rhodamine B dye. The method can achieve a degradation rate of over 99% for Rhodamine B dye in the wastewater, and the total degradation time is significantly shortened to about 20 minutes.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
