Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental pollutant treatment technology, specifically to a modified activated carbon that promotes dioxin degradation, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Waste incineration is an important method for treating municipal solid waste, offering advantages such as volume reduction, harmlessness, and resource recovery. However, the incineration process easily generates persistent organic pollutants—dioxins (PCDD / Fs). Dioxins are highly toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative, and their emissions not only harm the ecological environment but also pose a serious threat to human health. To control dioxin emissions, flue gas purification systems typically employ activated carbon injection for adsorption. Activated carbon has a large specific surface area and abundant pore structure, effectively capturing organic pollutants such as dioxins. However, traditional activated carbon relies solely on physical adsorption, its function limited to transferring gaseous dioxins to the solid phase, ultimately forming "toxic activated carbon." This not only fails to achieve complete elimination of dioxins but also introduces secondary pollution and a burden on subsequent treatment.
[0003] While existing research has explored methods such as metal loading and surface functionalization to modify activated carbon and improve its dioxin removal efficiency, these methods largely focus on the adsorption stage and fail to substantially address the issues of dioxin's stable molecular structure and recalcitrant degradation. Currently, there is no effective technology for advanced oxidation treatment of activated carbon adsorbed with highly toxic dioxins using a liquid-phase system, thereby achieving dioxin degradation and activated carbon regeneration. Traditional activated carbon typically requires incineration or landfill disposal after use, increasing costs, wasting resources, and posing potential environmental risks.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a modified activated carbon that can efficiently adsorb dioxins during the purification of flue gas from waste incineration and promote the subsequent degradation of dioxins, thereby achieving the detoxification and recycling of activated carbon. This would overcome the limitations of traditional adsorption technology's "adsorption-pollution transfer" and truly solve the current problem of gas-solid phase dioxin control in waste incineration. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a modified activated carbon for promoting dioxin degradation, its preparation method, and its application.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0007] A method for preparing modified activated carbon that promotes dioxin degradation is provided, comprising the following specific steps:
[0008] S1: Pretreated activated carbon is obtained by immersing activated carbon powder in an ethanol aqueous solution, ultrasonic treatment, and then filtering off the surface free liquid.
[0009] The air bubbles in the activated carbon pores are first removed by using an ethanol-water solution and ultrasound, making it easier for the subsequent ferric nitrate solution to enter the mesoporous region of the activated carbon.
[0010] S2: Dissolve Fe(NO3)3·9H2O in an aqueous ethanol solution to obtain Fe(NO3)3 solution, then immerse the pretreated activated carbon in the Fe(NO3)3 solution and stir for 12~24h.
[0011] S3: After soaking, perform vacuum filtration, place the solid in urea aqueous solution, adjust the pH of the reaction system to 7~7.5 with HNO3 solution, and continue stirring for 2~4 hours.
[0012] When ferric nitrate is co-precipitated using urea solution, urea slowly releases OH- ions, allowing Fe... 3+ It can grow in a controlled manner, avoiding clogging of the pores and reducing the adsorption capacity of activated carbon.
[0013] S4: After the reaction is complete, the reaction system is subjected to ultrasonic vibration to remove the Fe(OH)x adhering to the outer surface or macropores of the activated carbon.
[0014] S5: After oscillation, solid-liquid separation is performed. The separated solid is then heat-treated to obtain modified activated carbon.
[0015] The specific method of heat treatment is as follows:
[0016] S51: Calcine the solid at 250~300℃ for 1~2 hours;
[0017] S52: Then, under a nitrogen atmosphere containing 5% H2, perform thermal reduction at 300~350℃ for 0.5~1h;
[0018] S53: After naturally cooling to 120℃, slowly passivate by introducing air for 0.5~1h.
[0019] Furthermore, the ethanol-water solution is prepared by mixing ethanol and water at a volume ratio of 3:1.
[0020] Furthermore, the concentration of Fe(NO3)3 in the Fe(NO3)3 solution is 3~5mM; the ratio of Fe(NO3)3 solution to activated carbon is 10~20mL / g.
[0021] Using a ferric nitrate solution with ethanol and water as solutes not only allows the ferric nitrate solution to enter the mesoporous region of activated carbon uniformly and rapidly, but also ensures that nitrate ions do not affect the subsequent adsorption and degradation of dioxins.
[0022] Furthermore, in step S2, during soaking, magnetic stirring is performed at 20~30℃ and the stirring speed is 100~200 rpm.
[0023] Furthermore, during the stirring and soaking process, ultrasonic vibration is performed for 1 to 2 minutes every 0.5 to 1 hour, with an ultrasonic frequency of 20 kHz and a power of 100 to 200 W.
[0024] Furthermore, the ultrasonic treatment in step S1 specifically involves: 500W~1000W power at 20kHz for 1~3 minutes.
[0025] Furthermore, in step S4, the ultrasonic oscillation frequency is selected as 20kHz, the power as 50~100W, and the ultrasonic oscillation time as 2~5min.
[0026] This invention also provides an application of the modified activated carbon described above, which promotes dioxin degradation, in the adsorption and degradation of dioxins during waste incineration. The modified activated carbon is ground and sieved to obtain iron-based activated carbon powder with a particle size of 10-30 μm. This iron-based activated carbon powder is then sprayed into the flue gas duct between a high-temperature metal bag filter and a low-temperature bag filter in a waste incineration flue gas purification system. The high-temperature metal bag filter is located in the flue gas section of the waste incineration flue gas purification system where the temperature is above 500°C, and the low-temperature bag filter is located in the flue gas section where the temperature is 140-160°C. The dosage of the iron-based activated carbon powder is 20-50 mg / Nm³. 3 .
[0027] After the flue gas from waste incineration is filtered by a high-temperature metal bag filter, a large amount of particulate matter is intercepted. Activated carbon is then injected into the subsequent flue section and captured by a low-temperature bag filter. Therefore, the collected solid particulate matter is mainly iron-based modified activated carbon enriched with highly toxic dioxins, so that the bag filter fly ash is mainly composed of highly toxic activated carbon, which facilitates subsequent targeted detoxification and activated carbon recycling.
[0028] Furthermore, the activated carbon powder containing dioxins is recycled. The specific recycling method is as follows:
[0029] A1: Mix the toxic activated carbon powder with water at a ratio of 10-20 g / L, and adjust the pH to 3.5-4.5 using a 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution.
[0030] A2: Add hydrogen peroxide to the mixture and stir to react. After adding hydrogen peroxide, the concentration of H2O2 in the reaction system is 50~100mM. Stir at 200~400rpm for 4~6h, and apply an ultrasonic pulse with a frequency of 20 kHz and a power of 500W for 1min every 19min during the stirring reaction.
[0031] Ultrasonic waves highly disperse the aggregated activated carbon. The combined effect of magnetic stirring and ultrasound enhances the homogeneity and mass transfer efficiency of the solution, facilitating the entry of H2O2 into the activated carbon pores to fully contact the active FeOx. Under the action of divalent Fe ions, hydroxyl radicals are generated, which rapidly degrade the dioxins adsorbed in the mesopores through advanced oxidation reactions. Furthermore, under the effect of ultrasonic cavitation, not only are additional hydroxyl radicals generated, but they are also further promoted to enter the micropores from the mesopores, where they undergo in-situ advanced oxidation degradation reactions with the dioxins adsorbed in the micropores. The dioxin degradation rate reaches over 90%.
[0032] A3: After the reaction, solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain detoxifying activated carbon. The detoxifying activated carbon is dried at 105℃ for 12h, and then thermally reduced at 300~350℃ for 0.5~1h under a nitrogen atmosphere containing 5% H2. The powder is ball-milled and sieved to obtain detoxifying activated carbon powder of 10~30μm. The detoxifying activated carbon powder is mixed with iron-based activated carbon powder at a mass ratio of 1:4 and then recycled.
[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0034] This invention, through precise control of preparation parameters, effectively preserves the microporous structure and total specific surface area of activated carbon, providing sufficient sites for efficient dioxin adsorption. The modified activated carbon prepared achieves a microporous specific surface area retention rate of over 85% and a total specific surface area retention rate of over 80%. The synergistic effect of micropores and mesopores allows gaseous dioxin molecules to first enter and be enriched in mesopores, and then be firmly captured by micropores. Simultaneously, the highly dispersed FeOx active sites on the mesopore walls further enhance the enrichment and immobilization effect of dioxins, thereby achieving efficient removal of gaseous dioxins from flues, reducing the frequency of activated carbon replenishment, and lowering operating costs.
[0035] More importantly, this invention achieves a closed-loop utilization of adsorption-degradation-regeneration for the first time: modified activated carbon adsorbed with highly toxic dioxins can efficiently degrade the adsorbed dioxins in situ in a liquid system via the Fenton method, ensuring the complete decomposition of toxic components; subsequently, heat treatment restores the pore structure and adsorption capacity of the activated carbon, realizing the recycling and regeneration of the material. Unlike traditional unmodified activated carbon, which can only achieve the physical transfer of dioxins, this process not only breaks through the limitation of traditional activated carbon "only adsorbing but not degrading," but also achieves the complete degradation of adsorbed dioxins and the recycling of activated carbon, significantly reducing the generation of hazardous waste, lowering the cost of solid waste disposal, and truly achieving the efficient removal of dioxins, with outstanding environmental and economic benefits.
