Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of organic-inorganic composite adsorption materials, and particularly relates to preparation and application of PEI modified nano-silicon oxide material. BACKGROUND
[0002] Dyes have been widely used by humans in various industries for more than a thousand years, and dye wastewater is the main source of industrial wastewater, which has attracted high attention from the society. The presence of dyes in water bodies may cause the oxygen content of the water bodies to decrease and the sunlight transmission to become poor, affecting the photosynthesis of aquatic organisms. In addition, most dyes are carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic to animals and humans, and a large number of reports have proved that various malignant tumors, reproductive system and central nervous system functional disorders, dermatitis, and asthma can be induced by dyes. In recent years, people have invented various methods for removing dyes, and the currently mature methods mainly include physical methods (filtration, adsorption, membrane separation), chemical methods (coagulation, oxidation), and biological methods (aerobic / anaerobic biological treatment, microbial degradation). Compared with other methods, the adsorption method has a long history, a wide source of materials, a high removal rate, and a renewable adsorbent. Common adsorbents include activated carbon, biomass, clay minerals, ion exchange resins, and metal organic frameworks. Nano-silicon oxide material is a new type of inorganic material developed gradually in the 1990s, and has a regular pore and adjustable pore size, and is widely used in the fields of catalysis, electrochemistry, and adsorption. Compared with other adsorbents, nano-silicon oxide has a larger specific surface area, a high adsorption capacity, and stable chemical properties, and is resistant to acid and alkali and high temperature. The surface of the nano-silicon oxide can be grafted with functional groups (such as thiol and amino groups) to optimize the adsorption activity and selectively adsorb polar dyes (such as acid and basic dyes).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In order to solve the problem of poor adsorption performance of existing adsorbents on acid blue A dye, the application provides a PEI modified magnetic nano silicon oxide material preparation and application. Among them, APTES is first grafted onto the magnetic nano silicon oxide, and then PEI is grafted onto the magnetic nano silicon oxide through Schiff base reaction of aldehyde group and amino group, so that the adsorption capacity of acid blue A dye is improved, and recycling can be used. The application will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are exemplary and are only used to explain the application and do not mean to limit the application. The test method is not specified in the following examples. Generally, the conventional conditions are used, and the instruments involved are commercially available products. Example 1 The Fe3O4@SiO2 material is prepared, and the specific steps are as follows: Fe3O4 1g is dispersed in a solution composed of 20ml water and 60ml ethanol, and ultrasonic dispersion is performed for 30min. Then ammonia water (1ml) is added dropwise while stirring, and stirring is continued for 30min. 5ml TEOS (tetraethyl orthosilicate) is added in batches, and stirring is continued at room temperature for 24h. After the reaction is completed, the sample is washed repeatedly with anhydrous ethanol and water for 3 times, and the remaining reactants are removed. The sample is dried at 60°C under vacuum for 12h. Fe3O4@SiO2 is obtained. The Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2 material is prepared, and the specific steps are as follows: Fe3O4@SiO2 1g is dispersed in 80ml anhydrous ethanol, 5ml APTES solution is added, and stirring reaction is performed at room temperature for 24h. Then the sample is washed repeatedly with anhydrous ethanol and water for 3 times, and dried at 60°C for 12h. The Fe3O4@SiO2-PEI material is prepared, and the specific steps are as follows: Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2 1g is suspended in 30ml water, the pH is adjusted to 8, and then 0.6g glutaraldehyde and 1g PEI are added into the suspension. Heating is performed at 40°C for 4h, and finally the sample is washed repeatedly with ethanol and water for 3 times, and dried at 40°C for 12h. The PEI modified magnetic nano silicon oxide material prepared in Example 1 is subjected to Fourier infrared characterization, and the results are shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1 The infrared characterization results of the PEI modified magnetic nano silicon oxide material are shown in the figure. As can be seen from the figure, Si-O-Si, C=N and NH2 are respectively located at 1095, 1610 and 3450cm (-1) , which indicates that PEI is successfully grafted onto the magnetic nano silicon oxide. Performance test The PEI modified magnetic nano-silicon oxide material prepared in Example 1 was used as an adsorbent to test the adsorption of acid blue A dye, and the specific operation steps were as follows: 1. Adsorption effect under different amounts: 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025, and 0.03 g of the obtained material were used to adsorb 100 ml of 20 mg / l acid blue A solution under the same pH and time, constant temperature oscillation, and adsorption. 2. Adsorption effect under different times: 100 ml of 20 mg / l acid blue A solution was adsorbed for 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 min under the same adsorbent dosage and pH. 3. Adsorption effect under different pH: 100 ml of 20 mg / l acid blue A solution with pH = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 was adsorbed under the same adsorbent dosage and adsorption time. Figure 2 The results reflect the different adsorption removal rates under different adsorbent dosages. Compared with Fe3O4@SiO2 material, Fe3O4@SiO2-PEI has a higher removal rate, with a maximum removal rate of 68%. Both materials reach adsorption equilibrium when the adsorbent dosage is 0.02 g. Figure 3 The results reflect the different adsorption removal rates under different adsorption times. Again, Fe3O4@SiO2-PEI has a higher removal rate, and both materials reach equilibrium at 60 min. Figure 4 The results reflect the adsorption efficiency under different pH. Both materials have the highest adsorption efficiency at pH = 4.
