Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically relating to a biochar packing material for wastewater treatment, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] As riparian runoff catchment areas and river water conveyance zones, the pollution status and environmental geochemical behavior of recalcitrant organic pollutants in riparian wetlands have become a significant environmental issue of great concern. Therefore, developing ecological restoration technologies for riparian natural wetlands to alleviate organic pollutant pollution is urgently needed. Currently, the remediation of organic pollution in riparian natural wetlands mainly relies on the following three types of technologies, which have the following shortcomings:

[0003] (1) Phytoremediation technology: pollutants are absorbed by wetland plants (such as cattails and reeds) or degraded by root microorganisms. However, the oxygen utilization rate of plants is extremely low and there is a lack of catalytic active sites, resulting in a removal rate of less than 50% for recalcitrant organic matter. In addition, the reaction between root exudates and pollutants is random and cannot target and activate oxidation reactions.

[0004] (2) Iron-loaded biochar remediation: Iron oxides were loaded onto the surface of biochar using an impregnation method, but the iron dispersion was poor, the loading was small, and it was prone to agglomeration and deactivation. More importantly, without the addition of an external oxidant, the ·OH yield was <1μM, which is far below the requirements of the Fenton-like reaction.

[0005] (3) Chemical enhancement remediation: Adding H2O2 or persulfate to activate Fenton-like reactions, but the agents will cause pH fluctuations, aquatic organism death, and damage the ecological balance of wetlands. Continuous drug application is difficult to implement in natural wetlands.

[0006] In summary, none of the above three types of technologies can simultaneously meet the requirements of natural wetland adaptability (zero chemical addition / no external energy supply) and pollutant targeted degradation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a biochar packing material for wastewater treatment, its preparation method, and its application, which solves the problem that existing wetland organic pollution remediation technologies cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of natural wetland adaptability and pollutant targeted degradation efficiency.

[0008] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] This invention discloses a method for preparing biochar packing material for wastewater treatment, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: After crushing the straw, add it to the phosphoric acid solution, stir thoroughly, carry out the hydrothermal reaction, wash until neutral, and dry to obtain the phosphate esterified carbon carrier;

[0011] Phosphate-esterified carbon support is carbonized under oxygen-limited conditions of 450-550 ℃ to form micro / mesoporous hierarchical porous biochar.

[0012] Step 2: The micro / mesoporous graded porous biochar is impregnated in a soluble ferric salt solution, subjected to ultrasonic-assisted loading, and then dried; subsequently, it is calcined at 450-550 °C to generate α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, thus obtaining biochar loaded with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles.

[0013] Step 3: Impregnate the biochar loaded with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with ascorbic acid-Fe 2+ After vacuum permeation treatment in the complex solution, reduction calcination is carried out at 300-350 °C to generate α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunction in situ, thus obtaining iron-based biochar.

[0014] Step 4: Add the iron-based biochar to a mixed solution of Ca(OH)2 and H2O2 to react, and generate a CaO2 layer in situ on the surface of the iron-based biochar to obtain a biochar packing material for wastewater treatment.

[0015] Furthermore, in step one, the oxygen-limiting condition is pyrolysis under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0016] Furthermore, in step two, the soluble ferric salt solution is either a ferric nitrate solution or a ferric chloride solution.

[0017] Furthermore, in step two, the concentration of the soluble ferric salt solution is 0.5-1.0 M;

[0018] During impregnation, the solid-liquid ratio of the micro / mesoporous graded porous biochar to the soluble ferric salt solution is 1g:10-20mL.

[0019] Furthermore, in step two, the power of the ultrasonic-assisted load is 30-60 kHz, and the duration is 20-50 min.

[0020] Furthermore, in step three, the ascorbic acid-Fe 2+ In the complex solution, ascorbic acid and Fe 2+ The molar ratio is 1.5-2.5:1.

[0021] Furthermore, in step three, the vacuum permeation process is as follows: the impregnated material is placed in a vacuum environment, the vacuum degree is maintained at -0.08 MPa for 20-60 minutes, and then the pressure is restored to normal.

[0022] Furthermore, in step four, the molar ratio of Ca(OH)2 to H2O2 in the mixed solution of Ca(OH)2 and H2O2 is 1-1.5:1.

[0023] The present invention also discloses a biochar packing material for wastewater treatment prepared by the above preparation method. The biochar packing material for wastewater treatment includes iron-based biochar and a CaO2 layer supported on the outer layer of the iron-based biochar. The iron-based biochar is biochar containing α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunctions.

[0024] This invention also discloses the application of the aforementioned biochar filler for sewage treatment as a pollutant treatment agent in the field of ecological restoration of riparian natural wetlands. Wetland plants are configured according to water depth gradients, and the biochar filler for sewage treatment is applied to the polluted wetland to degrade pollutants.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] This invention discloses a method for preparing biochar packing material for wastewater treatment. First, a combination of phosphate esterification pretreatment and oxygen-limited carbonization is used to induce esterification and cross-linking reactions between phosphoric acid and straw components. In the subsequent oxygen-limited carbonization, phosphoric acid plays an in-situ chemical activation role rather than physical mixing. The pores etched by phosphoric acid and its decomposition products extend from micropores to mesopores, forming a micro / mesoporous hierarchical porous structure. This provides a huge specific surface area and abundant anchoring points for the subsequent loading of active components. The hierarchical pores are like an efficient transportation network. Micropores use their high specific surface area to adsorb and enrich pollutants, while mesopores act as fast channels to promote mass transfer and provide a space for large-sized active nanoparticles (such as heterojunctions and CaO2), thus avoiding pore blockage. Then, after in-situ preparation of α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunctions using a stepwise calcination method, a built-in electric field is formed at the interface, which can greatly promote the directional migration of electrons from Fe3O4 to α-Fe2O3 and significantly improve the electron-hole pair separation efficiency. This allows the filler to generate more and more persistent strong oxidizing free radicals (such as ·OH or SO4·) when activating hydrogen peroxide or persulfate. - The catalytic activity is far higher than that of single iron oxides. Finally, an in-situ precipitation reaction is carried out between iron-based biochar and a Ca(OH)2 / H2O2 mixture to generate a uniform and robust CaO2 layer on the surface of the heterojunction. In summary, this invention, through a four-step continuous and precise chemical design, transforms biochar (adsorption and enrichment), iron heterojunction (highly efficient catalysis), and CaO2 layer (slow-release supply and pH adjustment) from a simple physical mixture into a tightly coupled, functionally synergistic organic whole. Ultimately, this results in the packing material exhibiting outstanding advantages such as high catalytic activity, good stability, wide applicability, and long service life.

[0027] This invention also discloses a biochar packing material for wastewater treatment. The biochar packing material comprises iron-based biochar and a CaO2 layer supported on the outer layer of the iron-based biochar. The iron-based biochar is biochar containing α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunctions. When the biochar packing material is applied to polluted wetlands, it achieves intelligent synergy of three major functions: the CaO2 layer slowly decomposes upon contact with water, continuously providing H2O2, overcoming the shortcomings of easily ineffective decomposition and low utilization rate of added H2O2; the decomposition process simultaneously releases OH-. - It can maintain a stable and suitable weakly alkaline environment for heterojunction catalytic reactions, avoiding the problem of narrow pH range in traditional Fenton reactions; the core heterojunction instantly activates the CaO2 layer to release H2O2, forming a highly efficient internal cycle of "on-demand production and use", which greatly improves the utilization rate of oxidant and the degradation rate of pollutants.

[0028] This invention also discloses the application of biochar filler for wastewater treatment as a pollutant treatment agent in the ecological restoration of riparian wetlands. Wetland plants are configured according to water depth gradients. After the biochar filler is applied to the polluted wetland, combined with plant gradient oxygen release technology, shallow roots secrete oxalic acid to activate CaO2 and target the release of H2O2; middle-layer root exudates maintain pH 4.5-6; and deep roots synergistically drive continuous Fe production through high oxygen release. 3+ / Fe 2+ ·OH is generated in a cycle. The plant roots, configured according to the water depth gradient, can secrete oxalic acid, dissolving iron oxides in the biochar filler and generating Fe in situ. 2+ At the same time, the roots release H2O2, forming a plant-driven Fenton-like reaction that can efficiently degrade organic pollutants without the need for external chemical reagents.

[0157] The biochar filler prepared in this embodiment for wastewater treatment was applied to an artificially polluted wetland simulating tetracycline and petroleum hydrocarbon combined pollution. The initial concentration of tetracycline was 80 mg / L, and the initial concentration of petroleum hydrocarbon was 500 mg / kg. The weight of the biochar filler added was 5% of the dry weight of the artificially polluted wetland substrate.

[0158] The specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size of the micro / mesoporous hierarchical porous biochar formed in step one of Examples 1 to 3 of this invention were analyzed using the N2 adsorption / desorption method. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the successful preparation of porous biochar has been confirmed.

[0159] Diffraction analysis was performed on the α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles generated in step two of Example 1 of this invention, and the results were as follows: Figure 2 The XRD pattern shown confirms the successful preparation of biochar loaded with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles.

[0160] Electron microscopy was performed on the α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles generated in step two of Example 3 of the present invention to obtain the following results: Figure 3 The SEM image shown.

[0161] To perform diffraction analysis on the α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunction generated in step three of Example 4 of the present invention, the following results were obtained: Figure 4 The XRD pattern shown confirms the successful loading of the α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunction.

[0162] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 Figure a in the figure is a SEM image of the α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunction of iron-based biochar in Example 1 of the present invention; Figure 5 Figure b in the figure is a SEM image of the α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunction of iron-based biochar in Example 2 of the present invention; Figure 5 Figure c in the figure is a SEM image of the α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunction of iron-based biochar in Example 4 of the present invention; Figure 5 Figure d in the figure is a SEM image of the α-Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunction of iron-based biochar in Example 5 of the present invention; Figure 5 Figure e in the image is a SEM image of the α-Fe₂O₃ / Fe₃O₄ heterojunction of iron-based biochar in Example 6 of this invention. From... Figure 5 Figures a through e show that the fillers prepared in each embodiment have a micron-sized (~2 μm) network pore structure, and the microporosity of Example 2 (with increased hydrothermal phosphoric acid concentration) is significantly improved compared to Example 1; the increased CaO2 coating in Example 4 results in more particles being loaded into the filler pores; and in Example 5, ascorbic acid-Fe 2+ A distinct heterojunction structure can be observed after the concentration of the complex is increased.

[0163] Figure 6 This paper examines the change in Fe(II) concentration over time in the reaction system when using the biochar packing materials prepared in Examples 1 to 8 of this invention for wastewater treatment. It can be seen that the Fe2O3 / Fe3O4 heterojunction in the biochar packing material continuously releases Fe(II). Fe(II) is continuously released in all examples, with maximum release concentrations of 9.52 mg / L, 10.62 mg / L, 10.71 mg / L, 8.90 mg / L, 8.43 mg / L, 7.48 mg / L, 9.23 mg / L, and 8.47 mg / L over 6 hours, respectively. This indicates that by controlling the composition of the packing material and the plant species, efficient and controllable release of Fe(II) can be achieved, providing a sufficient source of reduced iron for the subsequent self-Fenton reaction. The release rate and sustainability are significantly better than those of single iron materials.

[0164] Figure 7This study examines the change in H2O2 concentration over time in the reaction system when using the biochar packing materials prepared in Examples 1-8 of this invention for wastewater treatment. It shows that, under the regulation of plant root exudates, calcium peroxide is slowly released to produce H2O2. The H2O2 concentration in each example continuously increases, reaching a maximum of 9.86 mg / L, 10.24 mg / L, 11.49 mg / L, 8.20 mg / L, 7.81 mg / L, 6.72 mg / L, 7.54 mg / L, and 7.85 mg / L within 6 hours, respectively. These results confirm the effectiveness of the plant-packing material synergistic controlled release of H2O2 technology, demonstrating its ability to form a good match with the synchronously released Fe(II), thereby driving a highly efficient and continuous self-Fenton oxidation process. The amount and stability of H2O2 generated far exceed those of existing technologies that directly add exogenous H2O2.

[0165] Figure 8 When using the biochar packing material and plant oxygen release control technology prepared in Examples 1 to 8 of this invention for wastewater treatment, the amount of •OH generated was measured. It can be seen that the amount of •OH generated varies significantly with different plant configurations, and is 4.1 μM, 4.3 μM, 4.5 μM, 3.9 μM, 4.0 μM, 2.8 μM, 3.5 μM and 3.2 μM, respectively, all of which are higher than those of the prior art.

[0166] Figure 9 The pollutant removal rates obtained when using the biochar packing material for wastewater treatment prepared in Examples 1 to 8 of this invention and the plant oxygen release control technology for wastewater treatment are shown to be 98.2%, 96.5%, 97.9%, 95.7%, 94.3%, 89.6%, 93.1% and 91.4%, respectively, all of which are higher than the prior art.

[0167] Figure 10 The cost of using the biochar packing material and plant oxygen release control technology prepared in Examples 1 to 8 of this invention for wastewater treatment is shown to be 3.38 yuan / ton of water, 3.42 yuan / ton of water, 3.15 yuan / ton of water, 3.51 yuan / ton of water, 3.28 yuan / ton of water, 3.87 yuan / ton of water, 3.33 yuan / ton of water and 2.95 yuan / ton of water, respectively. Among them, Example 8 underwent a simulation experiment for 180 days, indicating that the system has long-term stability.

[0168] This invention achieves precise control of the material structure from macroscopic pores to microscopic interfaces through a progressive design: preparation of porous biochar, preparation of biochar loaded with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, in-situ generation of heterojunctions, and coating with a calcium peroxide (CaO2) layer. This not only greatly enhances catalytic activity but also achieves long-term stable pH regulation by leveraging the slow-release properties of CaO2. This results in a significant synergistic effect among adsorption, catalysis, and pH regulation, ultimately yielding a composite filler with high activity, strong stability, and long service life. This effectively overcomes the technical bottlenecks of existing technologies, such as single-function active components, uneven mixing, and easy deactivation.

[0169] This invention presents a three-tiered technology system based on phosphoric acid-activated directional pore formation, stepwise heterostructure preparation, and controlled oxygen release from plants. This system not only eliminates the need for external chemical reagents but also allows for plant selection based on water depth gradients. The plant roots secrete oxalic acid, dissolving soil iron oxides and generating Fe in situ. 2+ Simultaneously, the roots release H2O2, forming a plant-driven Fenton-like reaction. The periodic alternation of wet and dry conditions can drive continuous Fe production through redox oscillations. 3+ / Fe 2+ The process involves cycling to generate ·OH, which promotes the efficient degradation of organic pollutants. It is not a simple superposition of multiple steps, but a progressive and synergistic organic whole. Through precise design of chemical reaction pathways, a novel filler with a unique core-shell structure and multiple synergistic effects has been controllably prepared at the molecular and nanoscale.

[0170] In wetland systems, vegetation is a crucial driver of reactive oxygen species production. The cumulative concentration of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) varies significantly in soils planted with different types of vegetation, primarily due to bio-induced generation mediated by the Fenton system. Addressing the three major technical bottlenecks in the remediation of organic pollution in riparian wetlands—low iron cycling efficiency, low H2O2 supply rate, and poor material-plant synergy—this invention innovatively designs the following:

[0171] By constructing a tightly coupled α-Fe₂O₃ / Fe₃O₄ heterojunction structure on the surface of functionalized biochar, the Fe content in the matrix material is increased. 2+ Regeneration rate and in-situ H2O2 generation efficiency.

[0172] By placing biochar packing material in wetlands, the acidic substances secreted by plant roots trigger the dissolution of the CaO2 layer and release H2O2. At the same time, the root exudates help maintain the pH of the rhizosphere microenvironment between 4.5 and 6.0, thereby optimizing the iron cycling efficiency.

[0173] By constructing a hierarchical pore structure of micropores and mesopores to promote root penetration and introducing phosphate esterification groups to enhance hydrophilicity and avoid root avoidance effects, the phosphoric acid pretreatment step in the preparation process is equivalent to acid washing and ash removal, effectively removing ash and plant growth inhibitors such as phenols from the biomass raw materials, thereby promoting root colonization and increasing plant biomass. Through a three-level synergistic approach of accelerating iron cycling with heterojunction electron bridges, controlling the release of root exudates at thresholds, and designing an ecologically adapted carrier, the project overcomes the contradictions of "mass transfer-reaction-ecology" in natural wetlands, achieving the goal of efficiently degrading antibiotic pollutants within 14 days.

[0174] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the specific implementation of the present invention.
