Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and relates to a porous adsorption material for treating acidic mine wastewater and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major source of environmental pollution generated during mining, mineral processing, and smelting. It occurs when sulfide minerals (such as pyrite) in the strata are exposed to air and water, undergoing oxidation and microbial action to produce sulfuric acid. This leads to a significant drop in the pH of the water (usually below 4) and the dissolution of large amounts of heavy metal ions (such as Fe). 2+ Fe 3+ Cu 2+ Zn 2+ Pb 2+ Cd 2+ Hg 2+ etc.) and sulfate ions (SO4) 2- If such wastewater is discharged directly, it will cause continuous pollution to surface water and groundwater, damage aquatic ecosystems, and may accumulate through the food chain, threatening human health.
[0003] Currently, the main treatment methods for acidic mine wastewater include neutralization, adsorption, chemical precipitation, biological methods, and constructed wetland technology. Among these, adsorption has become a research and application hotspot due to its advantages such as simple operation, wide applicability, relatively low cost, and low likelihood of secondary pollution. Bentonite, a natural layered silicate clay mineral, is mainly composed of montmorillonite. It possesses characteristics such as large specific surface area, strong ion exchange capacity, and good adsorption performance, and is considered to have broad application potential in wastewater treatment.
[0004] However, the direct use of natural bentonite in AMD treatment has significant limitations: firstly, its structure is unstable in strongly acidic environments, and the aluminum-oxygen octahedrons in its framework are easily destroyed by H+. + Erosion leads to structural damage and the leaching of aluminum ions, causing secondary pollution; secondly, although its interlayer domains possess cation exchange capacity, they are not conducive to Fe... 2+ / Fe 3+ The adsorption capacity of certain metal ions is limited, especially for SO4. 2- The adsorption capacity of anions is weaker and the selectivity is not high; in addition, its layered structure dominated by micropores restricts the diffusion efficiency of pollutant molecules and affects the overall adsorption kinetics performance.
[0005] Therefore, developing a novel bentonite-based porous adsorption material that combines strong acid stability, high adsorption capacity, and the ability to simultaneously remove anionic and cationic pollutants is of great significance for promoting the efficient and economical treatment of acidic mine wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of the existing technologies, this invention provides a porous adsorbent material for treating acidic mine wastewater and its preparation method. This porous adsorbent material uses acid-activated bentonite nanosheets as a framework, which are cross-linked with S-CDs (thiolized biomass carbon dots) and silane coupling agents through covalent and non-covalent bonds to form a "rigid-flexible" organic-inorganic hybrid three-dimensional network. Furthermore, multiple adsorption sites are introduced through in-situ polymerization of functional monomers, constructing a gel structure with hierarchical pores. This achieves structural stability in strongly acidic environments and enables the simultaneous and efficient adsorption of heavy metal cations and sulfate anions.
[0007] This invention provides a porous adsorbent material for treating acidic mine wastewater. The porous adsorbent material comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 55-80 parts modified bentonite, 10-20 parts carbon source, 1-4 parts L-cysteine, 5-21 parts GPTMS (γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyltrimethoxysilane), 10-35 parts DMC ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride), 5-21 parts DMA (dopamine methacrylamide), 2.5-10.5 parts pore-forming agent, and 0.5-2.1 parts ammonium persulfate.
[0008] Furthermore, the modified bentonite comprises the following raw materials: sodium bentonite and urea, wherein the mass ratio of sodium bentonite to urea is 7-12:1.
[0009] Furthermore, the preparation method of the modified bentonite includes the following steps:
[0010] S1: Weigh 65-90 parts of sodium-based bentonite, disperse it in deionized water, stir evenly to obtain a suspension;
[0011] S2: Weigh 8-12 parts of urea and slowly add it to the suspension at 70°C with continuous stirring. After the reaction is complete, centrifuge and wash to obtain the precipitate.
[0012] S3: The precipitate is dried at 60°C and ground to obtain modified bentonite.
[0013] Furthermore, the carbon source is selected from any one of citric acid, starch, and cellulose.
[0014] Furthermore, the pore-forming agent is selected from any one of PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), NaCl (sodium chloride), and PEG (polyethylene glycol).
[0015] This invention also provides a method for preparing porous adsorbent materials for treating acidic mine wastewater, specifically including the following steps:
[0016] Step 1: Weigh 55-80 parts of modified bentonite, disperse it in 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, centrifuge and wash until neutral, redisperse it in water to obtain bentonite nanosheet colloidal suspension;
[0017] Step 2: Weigh 10-20 parts of carbon source and 1-4 parts of L-cysteine, dissolve them in deionized water to obtain a mixed solution, transfer the mixed solution to a high-pressure hydrothermal reactor for hydrothermal reaction, and then perform dialysis to obtain an S-CDs aqueous solution.
[0018] Step 3: Weigh out 5-21 parts of S-CDs aqueous solution and GPTMS, and add them to the bentonite nanosheet colloidal suspension under stirring conditions. Mix them evenly to obtain the primary hybrid gel.
[0019] Step 4: Weigh 10-35 parts of DMC, 5-21 parts of DMA, 2.5-10.5 parts of porogen, and 0.5-2.1 parts of ammonium persulfate, add them together to the nascent hybrid gel, mix them evenly, and carry out in-situ free radical polymerization under nitrogen protection to obtain crude adsorbent material.
[0020] Step 5: After washing, drying, crushing and sieving the crude adsorbent material, a porous adsorbent material for treating acidic mine wastewater is obtained.
[0021] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows:
[0022] The porous adsorbent material for treating acidic mine wastewater prepared in this invention achieves synergistic optimization of material structure and performance through an innovative "pre-intercalation-hybrid crosslinking-functional polymerization" preparation process. The components in the material exert multiple synergistic effects through precise design: the modified bentonite nanosheets formed after acid activation provide a stable framework structure and abundant active sites; the thiolized biomass carbon dots exhibit specific coordination with heavy metal ions through surface-modified thiol groups (-SH); and the quaternary ammonium salt groups in DMC efficiently capture SO4 through electrostatic interactions. 2- The catechol group in dopamine methacrylamide forms strong complexes with various metal ions, thus constructing a multi-mechanism synergistic adsorption system of "electrostatic adsorption-coordination bonding-specific binding".
[0023] This invention significantly improves the structural stability and adsorption performance of materials by constructing a "rigid-flexible" organic-inorganic hybrid three-dimensional network. Bentonite nanosheets provide a rigid framework, while silane coupling agent (GPTMS) and thiolized biomass carbon dots form a flexible interconnected network through covalent cross-linking. This unique structural design allows the material to maintain its structural integrity in a strongly acidic environment (pH < 4), effectively avoiding the structural collapse and aluminum ion dissolution problems of traditional bentonite materials.
[0024] Through the in-situ polymerization of functional monomers (DMC and DMA) and the synergistic effect of porogens, a hierarchical porous structure was successfully constructed in a hybrid network. Macropores provide rapid mass transfer channels, mesopores increase specific surface area, and micropores provide specific adsorption sites. This hierarchical porous structure significantly improves the diffusion rate and adsorption capacity of pollutants. Simultaneously, the interconnected channels formed by the porogen during polymerization provide abundant transport pathways for pollutant molecules, effectively improving adsorption kinetics.
[0025] The porous adsorption material for treating acidic mine wastewater provided by this invention employs multiple adsorption mechanisms and intelligent pore structure design, possessing outstanding advantages such as good acid stability, large adsorption capacity, and strong selectivity, and has broad application prospects and industrialization value.

[0080] Results Analysis
[0081] Figure 3 The results showed that the porous adsorbents prepared in Examples 1-3 exhibited excellent acid stability, with aluminum leaching amounts all below 8 mg / g in sulfuric acid solution at pH 2.0. In contrast, Comparative Example 1, without the addition of S-CDs aqueous solution and GPTMS, showed an aluminum leaching amount of 28.5 mg / g, while Comparative Example 2, without modified bentonite, showed a high aluminum leaching amount of 68.7 mg / g. This indicates that the porous adsorbents prepared in Examples 1-3, through urea pre-intercalation and the construction of an organic-inorganic hybrid three-dimensional network structure, effectively inhibited the erosion of the bentonite framework by strong acid, significantly improving the acid stability of the porous adsorbents prepared in Examples 1-3.
[0082] Figure 4 The results showed that Example 1 was effective against Cu 2+ Pb 2+ and SO4 2- The adsorption capacities reached 49.5 mg / g, 48.8 mg / g, and 185.5 mg / g, respectively, and their adsorption performance was significantly better than all comparative examples. Comparative Example 1, without the addition of S-CDs aqueous solution and GPTMS, had an adsorption capacity less than 50% of that of Example 1, demonstrating that multi-mechanism synergistic adsorption is key to achieving efficient adsorption. Comparative Example 3 (commercially available granular activated carbon) showed adsorption capacity of less than 50% of that of Example 1 for SO42-. 2- The extremely low adsorption capacity highlights the unique advantage of the porous adsorption material in the simultaneous removal of anions and cations.

This indicates that the specific strong coordination of the -SH groups of S-CDs with heavy metals in the porous adsorbent materials prepared in Examples 1-2, and the strong complexation of the catechol groups in DMA, together endow the materials with excellent selective adsorption capacity.
