AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for modifying attapulgite soil are ineffective in reducing ammonia nitrogen levels in water bodies, leading to eutrophication and threats to drinking water safety, and are also costly.
A modified attapulgite material with high adsorption capacity and stability was constructed by using an acid-salt activated attapulgite method, which involves co-precipitation of titanium and magnesium salts with attapulgite and mixing them with a differentiated stirring and shearing strategy. The modified attapulgite material was then constructed by using an atmospheric pressure aging process instead of a high-pressure hydrothermal equipment.
Highly efficient and low-cost attapulgite adsorbent material was prepared under normal pressure. It can maintain a removal rate of over 90% for low-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater and over 60% for high-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater within 60 minutes, exhibiting high adsorption capacity and stability.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of attapulgite technology, specifically to a method for preparing acid-salt activated attapulgite and its application in ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of industry and agriculture, the excessive use of chemical fertilizers, the discharge of aquatic wastewater, and the indiscriminate dumping of industrial wastewater have led to serious exceedances of ammonia nitrogen levels in water bodies. Eutrophication not only disrupts the aquatic ecological balance but also threatens human drinking water safety. However, the adsorption of nutrients by natural minerals, such as attapulgite, followed by slow release, can effectively reduce the content of nutrients in water bodies without causing new environmental pollution, thus demonstrating a certain degree of water body treatment effectiveness.
[0003] Existing methods for modifying or activating attapulgite mainly include thermal modification, acid modification, and alkali modification.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a method for preparing acid-salt activated attapulgite and its application in ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for preparing acid-salt activated attapulgite and its application in ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment. This method overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies, has a reasonable design, a compact structure, and solves existing problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for preparing acid-salt activated attapulgite, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0008] 1. Preparation of titanium salt solution, magnesium salt solution and acid-activated attapulgite slurry;
[0009] 2. Add titanium salt solution and magnesium salt solution simultaneously to acid-activated attapulgite slurry and disperse evenly to obtain a mixed slurry of titanium salt-magnesium salt-attapulgite;
[0010] In the mixed slurry of titanium salt, magnesium salt and attapulgite, the solid-liquid ratio of attapulgite is 1:8-1:12, and 0.03mol-0.06mol of titanium salt is added for every 100g of acid-activated attapulgite. The molar ratio of titanium salt to magnesium salt is 1:1.5-1:2.5.
[0011] 3. Add 1-2 mol / L NaOH solution dropwise to the titanium salt-magnesium salt-attapulgite mixed slurry prepared in step 2 above, while stirring, and adjust the pH to 9-10 to obtain a mixed slurry with load settling.
[0012] 4. Transfer the mixed slurry obtained in step 3 to 60℃ and let it stand for aging for 4-6 hours;
[0013] 5. The mixed slurry obtained after the reaction in step 4 is cooled, centrifuged, resuspended and washed, centrifuged again, dried and ground to obtain the finished product.
[0014] Furthermore, the titanium salt is TiOSO4.
[0015] Furthermore, the magnesium salt is MgCl2 or MgSO4.
[0016] Furthermore, for every 100g of acid-activated attapulgite, 0.04-0.05mol of titanium salt is added, and the molar ratio of TiOSO4 to MgCl2 is 1:2.0-1:2.5.
[0017] Furthermore, for every 100g of acid-activated attapulgite, 0.05mol of titanium salt is added, and the molar ratio of TiOSO4 to MgCl2 is 1:2.4.
[0018] Furthermore, in step 2, a low-speed stirring of 300-500 r / min is used for 1 hour, and the temperature is controlled at 60-70℃.
[0019] In step 3, the stirring speed is increased to 600-800 r / min, and the dropping speed is controlled at 2-5 drops / second.
[0020] Furthermore, in step 2, the acid-activated attapulgite is obtained by the following method:
[0021] S1. Add water to attapulgite to prepare a slurry with a mass concentration of 5%-10%. After stirring and dispersing, allow it to settle by gravity. Take the upper layer of slurry, dehydrate and dry it to obtain purified attapulgite.
[0022] S2. Add 2 mol / L-4 mol / L hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid to the attapulgite purified in step S1, with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10. Stir at 60-80℃ for 2-4 hours, let stand for 4-8 hours, remove the upper turbid liquid, and retain the bottom precipitate. The bottom precipitate is the acid-activated attapulgite.
[0023] S3. Wash the precipitate obtained in step S2 repeatedly with deionized water, centrifuge, discard the supernatant, and repeat this step until the supernatant pH is 6.5-7.
[0024] S4. Dry the precipitate obtained in step S3 at 105-110℃ and grind it to 200-400 mesh.
[0025] This invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned acid-activated attapulgite in ammonia nitrogen wastewater.
[0026] This invention provides a method for preparing acid-salt activated attapulgite and its application in ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment, which has the following beneficial effects: Utilizing the high specific surface area and magnesium-rich background of attapulgite, a "titanium-magnesium-attapulgite" activated structure is constructed by simultaneously adding titanium and magnesium sources for co-precipitation and using a differentiated stirring and shearing strategy (low-speed dispersion, high-speed precipitation). This method eliminates the need for expensive high-pressure hydrothermal equipment and uses an atmospheric pressure aging process to prepare a modified attapulgite adsorbent material with high adsorption capacity, high stability, and low cost. It can maintain a removal rate of over 90% for low-concentration ammonia nitrogen (5 mg / L) and a removal rate of over 60% for high-concentration ammonia nitrogen (50 mg / L) within 60 minutes. Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Raw material description:
[0030] 1. Attapulgite soil (i.e., original attapulgite soil), sourced from Xuyi, Jiangsu Province, with a particle size of 200 mesh and a specific surface area of 126.3 m². 2 / g, main oxide composition, by mass percentage: SiO2 58.2%, Al2O3 9.5%, Fe2O3 6.2%, Na2O 0.07%, K2O 1.12%, CaO 1.21%, MgO 11.0%, MnO 0.61%, TiO2 0.48%, loss on ignition: 11.2%.
[0031] 2. The titanium salt is TiOSO4.
[0032] 3. The magnesium salt is MgCl2·6H2O.
[0033] 4. The preparation method of acid-activated attapulgite is as follows:
[0034] S1. Add water to attapulgite to prepare a slurry with a mass concentration of 5%. After stirring and dispersing, allow it to settle by gravity for 6 hours. Take the upper slurry, centrifuge to dehydrate, and dry at 10000 r / min for 10 min at 105℃ to obtain purified attapulgite.
[0035] S2. Add 2 mol / L sulfuric acid to the attapulgite purified in step S1, with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10, that is, the mass ratio of the attapulgite purified in step 1 to the volume ratio of sulfuric acid is 1:10. Stir at 60°C for 3 hours, let stand for 8 hours, remove the upper turbid liquid, and retain the bottom precipitate. The bottom precipitate is the acid-activated attapulgite.
[0036] S3. Wash the precipitate obtained in step S2 repeatedly with deionized water, centrifuge, discard the supernatant, and repeat this step until the supernatant pH is 6.5-7.
[0037] S4. Dry the precipitate obtained in step S3 at 105-110℃ and grind it to 200 mesh. Coarse particles will lead to poor dispersibility of the subsequent suspension. Fine powder has a large specific surface area, but in the subsequent "hydrothermal reaction" step, excessively fine particles are prone to "agglomeration" and re-form into large particles, which will block the pores. Therefore, the particle size of attapulgite is selected to be 200-400 mesh.
[0038] A method for preparing acid-salt activated attapulgite includes the following steps:
[0039] 1. Preparation of titanium salt solution, magnesium salt solution and acid-activated attapulgite slurry;
[0040] To prepare the titanium salt solution, 0.05 mol TiOSO4 was dissolved in 50 ml of 1.0 mol / L dilute sulfuric acid and stirred until completely dissolved.

[0043] 2. The titanium salt solution and magnesium salt solution prepared in step 1 are simultaneously added to the acid-activated attapulgite slurry and dispersed evenly to obtain a mixed slurry of titanium salt, magnesium salt and attapulgite.
[0044] The stirring was carried out at a low speed of 300 r / min for 1 hour, and the temperature was controlled at 60℃.
[0045] In the titanium-magnesium-attapulgite mixed slurry, the solid-liquid ratio of attapulgite is 1:10 (the mass ratio of acid-activated attapulgite to the volume ratio of the mixed slurry is 1:10, and water can be added according to the mixing situation). For every 100g of acid-activated attapulgite, 0.05mol of titanium salt is added, and the molar ratio of titanium salt to magnesium salt is 1:2.4 (Ti... 4+ :Mg 2+ The molar ratio is 1:2.4).
[0046] 3. Add 1 mol / L NaOH solution dropwise to the titanium salt-magnesium salt-attapulgite mixed slurry prepared in step 2 above, while stirring, and adjust the pH to 9-10 to obtain a mixed slurry with load settling.
[0047] Compared to step 2, step 3 increases the stirring speed to 600 r / min and controls the dropping speed at 2 drops / second to effectively disperse the settled particles and distribute them evenly.
[0048] 4. Transfer the mixed slurry obtained in step 3 to 60℃ and let it stand for 5 hours to age;
[0049] Compared to high-temperature aging at 120-150℃, the former has lower crystallinity, maintains effective dispersion, has a larger specific surface area, and richer pores, making it more suitable for ammonia nitrogen adsorption applications in wastewater.
[0050] 5. After the reaction in step 4, the mixed slurry with load sedimentation is cooled to room temperature, centrifuged at 5000 r / min for 5 min, deionized water is added to the precipitate in the centrifuge tube, and the precipitate is shaken and dispersed to resuspend. The centrifugation-resuspending and washing process is repeated 3-4 times, centrifuged at 5000 r / min for 5 min, and vacuum dried at 90℃ for 8-12 hours (to prevent thermal sintering and deactivation caused by excessive drying temperature). The mixture is then ground to obtain the finished product.

[0154] Application instructions:
[0155] To simulate ammonia nitrogen wastewater, NH4Cl was dissolved in deionized water to prepare simulated ammonia nitrogen wastewater at concentrations of 5 mg / L and 50 mg / L.
[0156] Take the activated attapulgite product obtained in the above examples / comparative examples, with a particle size of 200 mesh and a mass of 1g, add it to 100ml of simulated ammonia nitrogen wastewater, stir magnetically at 200r / min for 60min, let it stand for 30min, take the supernatant, and measure the ammonia nitrogen concentration using the salicylic acid spectrophotometric method.
[0157] The ammonia nitrogen removal rate is calculated as follows: R = [(C0 - Ce) / C0] × 100%;
[0158] R: Ammonia nitrogen removal rate;
[0159] C0: Initial ammonia nitrogen concentration in the simulated ammonia nitrogen wastewater, in mg / L;
[0160] Ce: The concentration of ammonia nitrogen in simulated ammonia nitrogen wastewater after adsorption by activated attapulgite, in mg / L.
[0161] Adsorption equilibrium time: For the adsorption of simulated ammonia nitrogen wastewater with a concentration of 50 g / L, a set of time gradient experiments were conducted. The absorbance was measured every 5 minutes. When the concentration change at adjacent time points was no longer significant, this time was called the "adsorption equilibrium time".
[0162] The results of the ammonia nitrogen removal rate and equilibrium time tests are shown in the table below.
[0163] Serial Number <![CDATA[Titanium-magnesium molar ratio (Ti 4 ⁺:Mg²⁺)]]> Ammonia nitrogen removal rate (%) in simulated wastewater at a concentration of 5 g / L Ammonia nitrogen removal rate (%) in simulated wastewater at a concentration of 50 g / L Adsorption equilibrium time (min) 1 1:1.2 88.5 52.0 85 2 1:1.5 92.0 63.5 59 3 1:1.8 94.5 73.0 45 4 1:2.0 96.2 80.5 38 5 1:2.2 97.7 86.9 34 6 1:2.4 99.6 88.0 30 7 1:2.5 97.5 86.5 33 8 1:3.0 91.0 76.5 100 9 Single titanium salt 75.0 38.6 60 10 Single magnesium salt 95.7 68.2 120
[0164] Attapulgite activated with acid and salt, at a titanium-magnesium molar ratio of 1:1.5–1:2.5, can maintain a removal rate of over 90% for low-concentration ammonia nitrogen (5 mg / L) and over 60% for high-concentration ammonia nitrogen (50 mg / L) within 60 minutes. The optimal effect is achieved at a titanium-magnesium molar ratio of 1:2.4, with a removal rate of 99.6% for low-concentration ammonia nitrogen (5 mg / L) and 88% for high-concentration ammonia nitrogen (50 mg / L). This demonstrates that the modified process successfully prepared an adsorbent material with highly active sites and a good pore structure, showing great application potential in the field of ammonia nitrogen treatment.
