Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental functional materials technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing and applying a nano-to-micron composite mineral for the deep treatment of organic and inorganic phosphorus in industrial wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Eutrophication is a serious global environmental problem, and excessive phosphorus levels are a key factor contributing to it. Reducing exogenous phosphorus input is crucial for curbing eutrophication in lakes and reservoirs. Exogenous phosphorus control technologies include coagulation and sedimentation, adsorption, biological treatment, and membrane treatment. Among these, adsorption has received widespread attention due to its simplicity, low cost, and high selectivity. However, organophosphates, especially organophosphates, are not only highly toxic but can also be converted into inorganic orthophosphates, posing a significant risk of eutrophication. Traditional methods often focus only on removing inorganic phosphorus such as orthophosphates, paying less attention to organophosphates. This results in traditional methods failing to effectively remove organophosphates when reducing exogenous phosphorus input, leaving behind a large source of inorganic phosphorus conversion and failing to fundamentally solve the problem of excessive phosphorus levels.
[0003] The complex components present in industrial wastewater, such as anions, cations, and humic acids, significantly interfere with traditional phosphorus removal materials, leading to a substantial decrease in their targeted phosphorus removal efficiency. Taking a typical rare-earth lanthanum composite bentonite material as an example, although this material has a high theoretical capacity for phosphorus adsorption, the high electron density anions (such as F⁻) in industrial wastewater compete with orthophosphate ions for active sites, resulting in a decline in phosphorus removal capacity. Furthermore, pressurized filtration processes are commonly used in industrial water treatment, and traditional materials, due to their high density, are prone to filter clogging and short-circuiting, leading to frequent material replacements and increased operating costs for enterprises. Current methods for preparing environmental functional materials often employ multi-element wet ball milling, ultrasonic treatment, and reduction calcination. While these methods can yield nanoscale or even sub-nanometer-scale active materials, they are susceptible to aggregation due to van der Waals forces and electrostatic interactions, resulting in reduced effective utilization of active sites.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to develop multi-metal-based composite sub-nano mineral materials that should possess the following characteristics: (1) low density to reduce filter load; (2) high density of surface active sites; and (3) enhanced material dispersibility and suppression of agglomeration through multi-metal synergy. Such materials are expected to improve phosphorus removal efficiency from industrial wastewater, achieve zero discharge of industrial wastewater, and reduce the operating costs of enterprises. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Rare earth minerals are metallic elements that are widely found in nature. They have a strong affinity for phosphates and have been extensively studied in the field of phosphorus removal due to their strong specific adsorption of phosphorus. The specific adsorption of phosphorus by rare earth minerals can form rare earth mineral-phosphate complexes, which still show high efficiency in removing phosphates even at trace levels.
[0006] Polyacrylonitrile (PA) fiber is a fibrous material with good tensile strength and toughness. During the spinning process, it undergoes chemical and physical treatment to form fibers with a fine structure. Compared to traditional steel bars or steel fibers, PA fibers have advantages such as light weight and corrosion resistance. They are chemically stable and exhibit high resistance to inorganic acids, bleaching powder, hydrogen peroxide, and common organic reagents. Furthermore, the nitrile groups abundant on the surface of PA fibers can generate carboxylic acids through hydrolysis and amines through reduction, thus leading to their wide application.
[0007] Furthermore, current research largely focuses on the removal of inorganic phosphorus such as orthophosphate, neglecting organic phosphorus components that can be converted into inorganic phosphorus such as phosphate, resulting in significant loopholes in phosphorus pollution control. In addition, phosphorus removal composite materials face multiple challenges in practical applications: on the one hand, they are susceptible to interference from other ions, affecting phosphorus removal efficiency; on the other hand, high-density phosphorus removal materials easily lead to filter clogging, increasing operation and maintenance costs; simultaneously, the materials themselves are prone to agglomeration, further reducing the utilization rate of active sites. These factors collectively limit the actual effectiveness of phosphorus removal technology and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of excessive phosphorus in industrial wastewater.
[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for preparing nano-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals for the deep treatment of organic and inorganic phosphorus in industrial wastewater. Using rare earth minerals and iron-containing nano-minerals as raw materials, the method employs a hydrogen reducing atmosphere for calcination. Using nano-zero-valent iron / rare earth composite minerals as the bulk nano-mineral material, and adding a grinding aid, the method utilizes a multi-element wet ball milling method to obtain sub-nanometer zero-valent composite minerals. Polyacrylonitrile fibers are used as a carrier to form sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth minerals and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron minerals with defective, weakly crystalline structures, generating reactive oxygen free radicals. Furthermore, polyacrylonitrile fibers can increase the number of active sites, reduce the density of the composite material, enhance its anti-interference ability in industrial wastewater, and enhance its catalytic hydrolysis ability for organophosphates. This allows for the simultaneous removal of both inorganic and organic phosphorus, fundamentally solving the pollution problem of excessive phosphorus and saving on the additional environmental remediation costs associated with removing organic phosphorus. The pressureless 3D milli- and sub-nano composite minerals prepared by this invention are rich in millimeter, nano, and sub-nano structure pores, which provide more active adsorption centers and interconnected pore structures for ion diffusion. They can also be used to catalyze the hydrolysis of organic phosphorus and simultaneously chelate and adsorb inorganic phosphorus through sub-nano zero-valent rare earth minerals and sub-nano zero-valent iron minerals, which is also a major feature of polyacrylonitrile fibers.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0010] A method for preparing milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals for the deep treatment of organic and inorganic phosphorus in industrial wastewater, comprising the following steps:
[0011] S1. The iron-containing nano-minerals, lanthanum-containing nano-minerals, cerium-containing nano-minerals, neodymium-containing nano-minerals, scandium-containing nano-minerals and yttrium-containing nano-minerals are crushed and sieved respectively, mixed in a certain weight ratio, and then calcined under a reducing atmosphere to obtain nano-zero-valent iron / rare earth composite minerals.
[0012] S2. Using nano-zero-valent iron / rare earth composite minerals as the bulk nano-minerals, wet ball milling is performed in a nano-sand mill with the addition of grinding balls and grinding aids to obtain liquid-phase ball milling products.
[0013] S3. Add polyacrylonitrile fiber to the liquid-phase ball milling product and ultrasonically treat it to obtain a slurry-type polyacrylonitrile sub-nanometer zero-valent composite mineral.
[0014] S4. Using 3D printing technology, slurry-type polyacrylonitrile sub-nanometer zero-valent composite minerals are printed into spherical, sheet, or block products. Then, a certain amount of cement is sprayed on their surface, and after natural curing for a period of time, pressureless 3D milli-sub-nanometer composite minerals are obtained.
[0015] The pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals prepared in this invention have high defect density and incomplete crystal structures in the sub-nano-scale iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium particles, resulting in higher adsorption energy and stronger reactivity. This makes the iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium sub-nano particles loaded in the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals more effective at catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphates. Moreover, unlike the adsorption of organophosphonates, the weakly crystalline iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium sub-nano particles in the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals, after catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphonates, produce orthophosphate, the hydrolysis product of which is fixed on the surface of the sub-nano particles of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals. Furthermore, the orthophosphate complexes with iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium to ultimately generate FePO4, LaPO4, CePO4, YPO4, NdPO4, and ScPO4. Meanwhile, the structural pores in the pressureless 3D milli-nano composite minerals facilitate the diffusion of organophosphonates to the interaction sites of iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium, providing spatial conditions for the catalytic hydrolysis and adsorption of organophosphonates.
[0016] The iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium in the pressureless 3D milli- to sub-nanometer composite minerals prepared in this invention are loaded onto millimeter-scale polyacrylonitrile fibers, facilitating morphology control through subsequent precipitation processes. The pore structure of the polyacrylonitrile fibers is unfavorable for the crystal growth of iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium, easily forming a weak crystalline structure with high defect density, thereby enhancing the catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphates into inorganic phosphorus. Furthermore, the pores of the polyacrylonitrile fibers facilitate the diffusion of organophosphates to the interaction sites of iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium, further enhancing the catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphates. Additionally, the accelerated crystal growth rate during preparation easily leads to the formation of small-sized, low-crystallinity, or amorphous iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium particles. In this case, the crystal structure is incomplete, with a high defect density, thus enhancing the catalytic hydrolysis ability of organophosphates.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S1 of the preparation method, the iron-containing nano-minerals are selected from limonite, goethite, pyrite, siderite, or hematite; the lanthanum-containing nano-minerals are selected from borosilicate lanthanum ore; the cerium-containing nano-minerals are selected from Nipei stone; the neodymium-containing nano-minerals are selected from neodymium Yellow River ore; the scandium-containing nano-minerals are selected from scandium phosphate; and the yttrium-containing nano-minerals are selected from yttrium silicate beryllium ore. The nano-minerals are crushed and passed through a 220-mesh sieve to obtain nano-mineral powder with a particle size less than 0.075 mm, and mixed in a mass ratio of 5-10:5-10:4-8:1-7:1-6:1-5. The mixture is then calcined in a reducing atmosphere of hydrogen or carbon monoxide at a temperature of 500-1000℃ for 2-5 hours.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S2 of the preparation method, grinding balls made of zirconium oxide (Mohs hardness grade: 6.5-8.5), silicon carbide (Mohs hardness grade: 9.5), and diamond (Mohs hardness grade: 10) with progressively increasing Mohs hardness are selected sequentially for three wet ball milling processes. The mass of the grinding balls added each time is 2-3 times the mass of the bulk nano-minerals. The grinding aid added before the first ball milling includes: 10-30 times the mass of the bulk nano-minerals of water, 0.01-0.03 times the mass of the bulk nano-minerals of dimethyl sulfoxide, and 0.01-0.03 times the mass of the bulk nano-minerals of diethylenetriamine. The first wet ball milling process using zirconia grinding balls with a particle size of 75-100μm takes 12-24 hours at a speed of 1000-2000 r / min. The second wet ball milling process using silicon carbide grinding balls with a particle size of 50-100nm takes 12-24 hours at a speed of 1000-2000 r / min. The third wet ball milling process using diamond grinding balls with a particle size of 5-10nm takes 12-24 hours at a speed of 1000-2000 r / min.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S3 of the preparation method, the mass ratio of the added polyacrylonitrile fiber to the liquid-phase ball milling product is 1:9-12. After the polyacrylonitrile fiber is pulverized, it is passed through a 220-mesh sieve to obtain powder with a particle size of less than 0.075 mm. After addition, it is subjected to ultrasonic treatment at 100-1000W for 12-24 hours to obtain a slurry-type polyacrylonitrile sub-nanometer zero-valent composite mineral. The ultrasonic process further breaks down the sub-nanometer zero-valent composite mineral and allows it to enter the pores of the millimeter-sized polyacrylonitrile fiber.
[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S4 of the preparation method, cement is sprayed on the surface of the 3D printed product according to the mass ratio of product to cement of 7:3, and then naturally cured for 10-30 days to obtain pressureless 3D milli-nano composite mineral.
[0021] Rare earth minerals exist primarily in the Earth's crust as nano-minerals. As fundamental building blocks of minerals, rare earth elements exist as ionic compounds within mineral lattices, forming essential components of nano-minerals. They also act as impurity elements, dispersing in rock-forming minerals and rare metal minerals through isomorphous substitution. The rare earth elements, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium, have high ionic charge density and readily hydrolyze to form hydroxide precipitates. The hydroxyl groups of alcohols can coordinate with metal ions, slowing the hydrolysis rate and improving the controllability of the reaction, thus forming a stable solution system. This creates conditions for iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium to enter the millimeter-scale pores of polyacrylonitrile fibers and form weakly crystalline structures with high defect density.
[0022] This invention uses iron-containing nano-minerals, polyacrylonitrile fibers, and rare earth nano-minerals as raw materials. Through hydrogen reduction roasting, multi-element wet ball milling, ultrasound, and 3D printing, a pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite mineral with a porous structure is synthesized. This achieves the loading of sub-nano zero-valent composite minerals. When the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals are added to water, the sub-nano zero-valent composite minerals on their surface and in the pores can quickly and specifically bind with organic and inorganic phosphorus in the water to form stable phosphate crystals. The composite minerals also protonate at low pH and adsorb and bind phosphorus ions by electrostatic force, exhibiting highly efficient phosphorus removal capabilities and resisting interference from different anions, cations, and humic acids.
[0023] The pressureless 3D milli-nano composite mineral prepared by this invention can be used for the simultaneous removal of organic and inorganic phosphorus. After the pressureless 3D milli-nano composite mineral is added into the water, the iron, yttrium, neodymium, scandium, lanthanum, and cerium in its channels quickly combine with the organic and inorganic phosphorus in the industrial wastewater, forming a stable complex through specific binding. The amine groups on the surface will also be protonated at low pH and adsorb organic and inorganic phosphorus by electrostatic force, thus exhibiting a highly efficient and synergistic ability to remove organic and inorganic phosphorus.
[0024] The specific treatment process involves loading pressureless 3D milli-nano composite minerals into a small cup or pressureless filter bed that simultaneously removes organic and inorganic phosphorus. The concentration of organophosphonates in the water to be treated is 1-10 mg / L, and the concentration of inorganic phosphorus is 1-50 mg / L. Competing ions Cl... - NO3 - SO4 2- HCO3 - Cu 2+ The concentrations of humic acid and fulvic acid are controlled at 10-100 mg / L; the pH value is 2-10; the amount of pressureless 3D milli-nano composite minerals added is 0.05 g / L-25 kg / L; the water samples containing organic phosphate esters and inorganic phosphorus are treated under stirring conditions, and after treatment reaction for 10-600 min or hydraulic retention time of 1-10 h, the concentrations of organic phosphorus and inorganic phosphorus in the treated industrial wastewater are both less than 0.02 mg / L.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0026] 1. The pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral prepared by this invention is prepared by wet ball milling, which facilitates material synthesis. The obtained pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral has chelating ability, thus exhibiting high adsorption capacity and catalytic degradation ability for organic and inorganic phosphorus. The primary amines on the surface of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral are protonated under acidic conditions, exhibiting a positive charge state. They have electrostatic attraction ability for organic and inorganic phosphorus. The sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth minerals and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron minerals on its surface and in its pores can quickly and specifically bind with organic and inorganic phosphorus in water to form stable phosphate crystals. This composite mineral also protonates at low pH and adsorbs and binds phosphorus ions by electrostatic force, exhibiting a highly efficient ability to simultaneously remove organic and inorganic phosphorus.
[0027] 2. This invention utilizes iron-containing nano-minerals, lanthanum-containing nano-minerals, cerium-containing nano-minerals, neodymium-containing nano-minerals, scandium-containing nano-minerals, and yttrium-containing nano-minerals. These are crushed and passed through a 220-mesh sieve to obtain powders with a particle size less than 0.075 mm. The aforementioned nano-minerals are mixed in a specific mass and subjected to high-temperature reduction calcination in a hydrogen atmosphere. The C, CO, CH4, and H2 generated during thermal decomposition at high temperature can penetrate into the pores of the nano-mineral particles, increasing the reaction rate and degree. Ultimately, the rare earth nano-mineral powder and the iron-containing nano-mineral powder are completely transformed into nano-zero-valent iron composite minerals and nano-zero-valent rare earth composite minerals. The surface-adsorbed water, zeolite water, crystal water, and structural water in the iron-containing nano-minerals and nano-rare earth composite minerals also decompose and vaporize at high temperatures, forming nano-structured rare earth composite minerals and nano-structured zero-valent iron composite minerals. These are porous particulate materials, thus enabling the one-step preparation of nano-zero-valent rare earth composite minerals and nano-zero-valent iron composite minerals.
[0028] 3. Currently, the main method for deep treatment of wastewater containing organophosphorus and inorganic phosphorus is fixed column adsorption, which relies on external pressure to achieve a certain water throughput efficiency. The pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral prepared in this invention is rich in porous sub-nanometer zero-valent composite mineral structures and has a low density. It is not only suitable for fixed column adsorption but can also achieve high water flux and treatment efficiency under pressureless conditions. The pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral is composed of sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth composite minerals and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron composite minerals. This material has a sub-nanometer porous structure and high activity, and can be used as a catalyst and adsorbent for organophosphorus and inorganic phosphorus. It efficiently removes organophosphorus and inorganic phosphorus simultaneously. The method is simple, easy to operate, and low in cost. It is an environmentally friendly and green pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral that can effectively resist interference from anions, humic acid, fulvic acid, and cations in industrial wastewater, and efficiently removes organophosphorus and inorganic phosphorus simultaneously.
[0029] 4. The pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral prepared by this invention has a pore size of less than 1 nm. Besides its ability to adsorb inorganic phosphorus, it also exhibits the effect of catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphorus, simultaneously removing both inorganic and organic phosphorus. This is achieved by regulating the defect morphology of sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth minerals and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron minerals to catalytically hydrolyze organophosphorus, especially for organophosphonates, which can be removed simultaneously through catalytic hydrolysis. Simultaneously, the porous nanostructure of polyacrylonitrile fibers allows organophosphonates to diffuse to the activation sites of the sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth and iron minerals, enhancing the catalytic hydrolysis and adsorption of organophosphorus by these minerals. Polyacrylonitrile fibers not only catalyze the hydrolysis of organophosphonates but also adsorb and remove inorganic phosphorus present in industrial wastewater and generated during hydrolysis, resulting in a synergistic removal of both organic and inorganic phosphorus from industrial wastewater.
[0030] 5. XRD analysis of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals prepared in this invention shows that the modified rare earth elements and iron-containing phases have wide and mixed crystal forms, indicating a high defect density and incomplete crystal structure. These rare earth elements and iron phases, with their high defect density and weak crystal structure, are more easily removed by the catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphates. Furthermore, the sub-nanometer-sized zero-valent rare earth minerals and zero-valent iron particles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of polyacrylonitrile fibers, solving the problems of easy agglomeration and deactivation of sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth minerals and zero-valent iron minerals. Simultaneously, the loading of sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth minerals and zero-valent iron minerals can be controlled by adjusting the mass ratio of the sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth minerals and zero-valent iron to the polyacrylonitrile fibers, thereby increasing the number of active sites and improving the adsorption capacity and catalytic hydrolysis ability.

[0058] S1. Pyrite, borosilicate lanthanum ore, niobite, neodymium ore, scandium phosphate, and yttrium silicoery are crushed and passed through a 220-mesh sieve to obtain powder with a particle size of less than 0.075 mm.

[0080] Figure 1 The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral prepared in Example 1 shows that the phases of the sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth composite mineral and the sub-nanometer zero-valent iron composite mineral have wide and mixed crystal forms, indicating that they have high defect density and incomplete crystal structure. They belong to the rare earth elements and iron elements with weak crystal structure and high defect density. The rare earth elements and iron elements with defect structure are more easily removed by the catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphates.
[0081] Figure 2 SEM images of the pressureless 3D nano-to-sub-nano composite minerals prepared in Example 1; by Figure 2 The SEM images of (AB) show that its microstructure exhibits a stepped structure, a dense aggregate morphology, and stepped aggregate crystals at the edges. Further analysis at higher magnification... Figure 2 (CD) shows that there are a large number of sub-nano particles on its stepped microstructure. This is because these rare earth nanocomposite minerals and iron-containing nanominerals are formed into sub-nano zero-valent iron / rare earth composite mineral particles through hydrogen atmosphere reduction roasting, multi-element wet ball milling, ultrasound, and 3D printing. The wavy structure is the microstructure morphology of polyacrylonitrile fiber, indicating that the sub-nano zero-valent iron / rare earth composite mineral particles are successfully loaded in the pores of polyacrylonitrile fiber.
[0082] Figure 3 The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral prepared in Example 2 shows that the phases of the sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth composite mineral and the sub-nanometer zero-valent iron composite mineral have wide and mixed crystal forms, indicating that they have high defect density and incomplete crystal structure. They belong to the rare earth elements and iron elements with weak crystal structure and high defect density. The rare earth elements and iron elements with defect structure are more easily removed by the catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphates.
[0083] Figure 4 SEM image of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite mineral prepared in Example 2; by Figure 4 (AC) shows that its microstructure exhibits a plate-like morphology, which is characteristic of polyacrylonitrile fibers; Figure 4 (DE) Scattered plate-like and sheet-like microstructures can be observed. This is due to the reaction of nano-rare earth composite minerals and iron-containing nano-minerals in hydrogen reduction roasting, multi-element wet ball milling, ultrasonication, and crushing of polyacrylonitrile fibers. Figure 4 (FH) It can be seen that a large number of sub-nano zero-valent rare earth composite particles and sub-nano zero-valent iron composite particles are loaded on these sheet-like microstructures. The sub-nano zero-valent rare earth composite particles and sub-nano zero-valent iron composite particles are stacked together to form a sub-nano porous structure. It can be seen that polyacrylonitrile fiber can effectively prevent the agglomeration of sub-nano zero-valent rare earth particles and sub-nano zero-valent iron composite particles and improve the activity of pressureless 3D milli-sub-nano composite minerals.
[0084] Figure 5 The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral prepared in Example 3 shows that the phases of the sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth composite mineral and the sub-nanometer zero-valent iron composite mineral have wide and mixed crystal forms, indicating that they have high defect density and incomplete crystal structure.

The rare earth element and iron phase with defect structure is more easily removed by the catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphates.
[0085] Figure 6 This is a SEM image of the pressureless 3D nano-to-sub-nano composite mineral prepared in Example 3. Figure 6 (AC) reveals that its microstructure exhibits a dense, blocky aggregate morphology, and these blocky shapes are characteristic of polyacrylonitrile fibers; at higher magnification... Figure 6 As can be seen from the microstructure of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral, its dense blocky structure is loaded with a large number of sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth composite mineral particles and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron composite particles. Analysis suggests that the dense blocky structure is the morphology of polyacrylonitrile fibers, which can effectively prevent the agglomeration of sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth mineral particles and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron composite particles, thereby improving the activity of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral.
[0086] Figure 7 The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral prepared in Example 4 shows that the phases of the sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth composite mineral and the sub-nanometer zero-valent iron composite mineral have wide and mixed crystal forms, indicating that they have high defect density and incomplete crystal structure. They belong to the rare earth elements and iron elements with weak crystal structure and high defect density. The rare earth elements and iron elements with defect structure are more easily removed by the catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphates.
[0087] Figure 8 SEM image of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite mineral prepared in Example 4; by Figure 8 (AB) shows that the pressureless 3D milli-to-subnanometer composite mineral contains a large number of fine, flaky subnanometer zero-valent composite mineral particles; from Figure 8 C shows that these tiny, sheet-like morphologies stack together to form sub-nanostructured pores. Figure 8 As can be seen from D, these sheet-like morphologies are loaded with a large number of sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth particles and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron particles. Polyacrylonitrile fibers can effectively prevent the agglomeration of sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth particles and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron particles, thereby improving the activity of pressureless 3D milli-sub-nanometer composite minerals.
[0088] Figure 9 This is a SEM image of the pressureless 3D nano-to-subnano composite mineral prepared in Example 5. (Source: [Insert SEM image here]) Figure 9 The SEM images of (AB) reveal its microstructure, exhibiting a sub-nano porous, plate-like morphology with pore sizes <1 nm. Sub-nano zero-valent rare earth minerals and sub-nano zero-valent iron particles are distributed on the surface of the polyacrylonitrile fibers. The high porosity and sub-nano structure facilitate water permeability and the catalytic hydrolysis and adsorption of inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphate ions. Figure 9(CD) shows that the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals possess sub-nanometer particle size and intergranular porous structure. This indicates that pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals have been successfully synthesized by loading a mixture of goethite, lanthanum borosilicate, niobite, neodymium ore, scandium phosphate, and yttrium silicate iron / rare earth composite minerals into the pores of polyacrylonitrile fibers through reduction roasting, multi-element wet ball milling, water bath ultrasonication, and 3D printing techniques.
[0089] Figure 10 This is a SEM image of the pressureless 3D nano-to-sub-nano composite mineral prepared in Example 6. (Source: [Insert SEM image here]) Figure 10 (AB) shows that its microstructure exhibits sub-nano porous, plate-like morphology with pore sizes <1 nm. Sub-nano zero-valent rare earth composite minerals and sub-nano zero-valent iron composite minerals are loaded as sub-nano particles on the surface and within the internal pores of polyacrylonitrile fibers. The high porosity and sub-nano structure facilitate water permeability and promote the catalytic hydrolysis and adsorption of inorganic and organic phosphorus ions. From... Figure 10 CD reveals pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals with sub-nanometer porous structure characteristics. This indicates that pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals have been successfully synthesized by mixing limonite, lanthanum borosilicate, niobite, neodymium ore, scandium phosphate, and yttrium silicate, and then loading them into the pores of polyacrylonitrile fibers through reduction roasting, wet ball milling, water bath ultrasonication, and 3D printing technology.

[0154] Application Example 1
[0155] An example of the effect of static adsorption of organic and inorganic phosphorus in industrial wastewater is presented, with the following specific operating steps: A solution containing 1 mg / L of organic phosphate, 50 mg / L of inorganic phosphorus, and pH 7 was prepared. 0.3 g / L of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals prepared in Examples 1-6 and the composite nano-mineral materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-22 were added to the wastewater samples containing inorganic and organic phosphorus. The wastewater samples containing organic phosphate and inorganic phosphorus were treated under stirring conditions, and the removal rates of organic phosphate and inorganic phosphorus in the wastewater were measured after 1 hour of treatment.

[0158] Table 1 shows that Examples 1-6 achieved a 100% removal rate for inorganic phosphorus and organophosphates, demonstrating high removal efficiency. This is because the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals prepared in this invention possess high activity and strong surface effects, exhibiting excellent purification performance in industrial water treatment and showing broad application prospects. Polyacrylonitrile fibers can immobilize sub-nanometer zero-valent rare earth minerals and sub-nanometer zero-valent iron particles through the mesh confinement effect, and have a pre-concentration effect on charged pollutants through the Donnan membrane effect, making them an ideal carrier for preparing pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals. Pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nanometer composite minerals using polyacrylonitrile fibers as carriers are typically prepared by hydrogen reduction roasting, multi-element wet ball milling, water bath ultrasound, and 3D printing, effectively treating organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus in industrial wastewater.

[0164] The natural rare earth mineral samples shown in Table 3, limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber (Comparative Example 2), exhibited relatively low activity after air roasting, with low removal efficiency for inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphate esters. This is because most of the rare earth mineral elements, limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber, were oxidized after roasting, leading to a decrease in their activity.

[0167] The natural rare earth mineral samples shown in Table 4, limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber (Comparative Example 3), exhibited relatively low activity after nitrogen roasting, resulting in low removal efficiency for inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphate esters. This is because most rare earth mineral elements, limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber, are converted into elements with low activity after pyrolysis.

[0170] Table 5 shows that the natural rare earth mineral samples, limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber (Comparative Example 4), exhibited relatively low activity after hydrogen roasting, showing low removal efficiency for inorganic phosphorus and organophosphates. This is because most rare earth elements and iron elements, after hydrogen reduction roasting, formed nano-zero-valent rare earth composite minerals and nano-zero-valent iron composite materials. Compared to Comparative Example 1, their activity was significantly improved; however, they still exhibited low removal efficiency for inorganic phosphorus and organophosphates.

[0173] Table 6 shows that Comparative Examples 5, 6, and 7 exhibit low removal efficiencies for organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus. Although their activity is improved compared to single-component rare earth minerals, their treatment efficiency is limited. Comparative Examples 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 also show low removal efficiencies for organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus. Although they lack some key steps compared to Examples 1-6, preventing the formation of pressureless 3D nano-to-nano composite minerals, their treatment efficiency is limited. Comparative Example 13, prepared using a liquid-phase reduction method, is a nano-mineral composite material that is prone to agglomeration, resulting in low removal efficiency for organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus.
[0174] Application Example 2
[0175] An example of the effectiveness of static adsorption of organic and inorganic phosphorus in industrial wastewater is presented, with the specific operating steps as follows: A solution containing 2 mg / L of organic phosphate esters and 10 mg / L of inorganic phosphorus is prepared, along with a solution containing competing ions (Cl). - NO3 - SO4 2- HCO3 - Cu 2+A mixture of humic acid and fulvic acid was prepared, with each interfering ion concentration of 15 mg / L and pH 7. 0.1 g / L of the pressureless 3D nano-nano composite minerals prepared in Examples 1-6 and the composite nano-mineral materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-22 were added to a water sample containing organic phosphate esters and inorganic phosphorus industrial wastewater. The mixture was stirred and adsorbed at room temperature for 1 h. The supernatant was then taken to measure the concentrations of organic phosphate esters and inorganic phosphorus after the reaction, and the removal rate was calculated.

[0178] Table 7 lists the presence of interfering ions Cl. - NO3 - SO4 2- HCO3 - Cu 2+ Humic acid and fulvic acid had no effect on the adsorption performance of the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals prepared in Examples 1-6. These results indicate that the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals still exhibit strong adsorption performance in the presence of competing ions. Under the same initial conditions, the pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals have a relatively high adsorption capacity.

This indicates that the natural rare earth minerals, polyacrylonitrile fibers, and limonite, without modification, have low activity and cannot resist interference from different types of ions in water.

[0193] Table 12 shows that Comparative Examples 5, 6, and 7 exhibited low removal efficiencies for organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus in the presence of interfering ions. Although their activity was improved compared to single-component rare earth nanominerals, limonite, or polyacrylonitrile fibers, their treatment efficiency was limited. Comparative Examples 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 also showed low removal efficiencies for organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus. Although they lacked some key steps compared to Examples 1-6, preventing the formation of pressureless 3D milli-to-sub-nano composite minerals, their treatment efficiency was limited and they could not resist interference from different types of ions in the water. Comparative Example 13, a composite material prepared by liquid-phase reduction, was prone to agglomeration, resulting in low removal efficiency for organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus and an inability to resist interference from different types of ions in the water.
[0194] Application Example 3
[0195] The solution contains 2 mg / L of organic phosphate ester and 1 mg / L of inorganic phosphorus, wherein Cl... - NO3 - SO4 2- HCO3 - Cu 2+ The concentrations of competing ions, namely humic acid and fulvic acid, were controlled at 60 mg / L, and the pH was 7 for industrial wastewater. The pressureless 3D nano-nano composite minerals prepared in Examples 1-6 and the composite nano-mineral materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-22 were used as filter media, with each filter media weighing 10 kg. These media were loaded into plexiglass filter columns (cylindrical in shape; height 100 cm; inner diameter 5 cm; outer diameter 7 cm). The plexiglass filter columns were not sealed, and the flow rate was controlled by adjusting the liquid level of the mixed solution. The industrial wastewater flowed entirely by gravity. A dynamic adsorption experiment was conducted with a hydraulic retention time of 4 hours. The experiment ran for 10 days, and water samples were taken daily to measure the concentrations of organic phosphates and inorganic phosphorus in the effluent. The average removal rate over the 10-day experiment was calculated.

[0204] The natural rare earth mineral samples shown in Table 15, limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber (Comparative Example 2), exhibited relatively low activity after air roasting, with a low average removal rate for inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphate esters. This is because most of the rare earth elements, limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber, were oxidized after roasting.

[0207] The natural rare earth mineral samples shown in Table 16, limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber (Comparative Example 3), exhibited relatively low activity after nitrogen roasting, with low average removal efficiency for inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphate esters. This is because most rare earth elements, iron elements and polyacrylonitrile fiber become less active after pyrolysis.

[0210] The natural rare earth nanomineral samples shown in Table 17, including limonite and polyacrylonitrile fiber (Comparative Example 4), exhibited relatively low activity and low average removal efficiency for inorganic phosphorus and organophosphates after hydrogen calcination. This is because most rare earth elements, limonite, and polyacrylonitrile fiber, after hydrogen reduction calcination, formed nano-zero-valent rare earth minerals, nano-zero-valent iron composite minerals, and porous carbon composite materials. Relatively speaking, their activity was significantly improved, but their average removal rate remained limited.

[0213] Table 18 shows that Comparative Examples 5, 6, and 7 had low average removal rates of organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus. Although their activity was improved compared to single-component rare earth nanominerals, limonite, and polyacrylonitrile fibers, their average removal rates were limited. Comparative Examples 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 also had low average removal rates of organophosphates and inorganic phosphorus. Although they lacked some key steps compared to Examples 1-6, preventing the formation of pressureless 3D nano-nano composite minerals, their treatment efficiency was limited. Comparative Example 13, a composite material prepared by liquid-phase reduction, was prone to agglomeration, resulting in a low average removal rate of organophosphates and inorganic phosphates.
