Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically relating to a method for treating fumaric acid production wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Fumaric acid is the simplest unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and an important chemical organic raw material used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins, as an adhesive, and as a raw material for manufacturing fiberglass.
[0003] Fumaric acid is obtained through isomerization of maleic acid, a byproduct of phthalic anhydride production. The production of fumaric acid generates a large amount of acidic wastewater with a CODcr reaching 35,000 g / L, primarily composed of organic acids such as phthalic acid. Current technology uses activated carbon to adsorb phthalic acid from the wastewater to treat it.
[0004] However, due to the low adsorption efficiency of activated carbon, which means that phthalic acid is only physically adsorbed through activated carbon, the removal rate of phthalic acid is relatively low, resulting in poor wastewater treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems existing in the background technology, the present invention provides a method for treating fumaric acid production wastewater, which can effectively improve the adsorption / removal rate of o-phthalaldehyde.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for treating fumaric acid production wastewater includes the following steps: S1. Filter the wastewater to obtain pretreated wastewater; S2. The composite adsorbent is packed into a glass column to form a glass adsorption column; the composite adsorbent is obtained by cross-linking polymerization of magnesium ion modified activated carbon, styrene and divinylbenzene. S3. Load the pretreated wastewater obtained in S1 into a glass adsorption column and collect the effluent.
[0007] Furthermore, the preparation method of the composite adsorbent is as follows: A1. Place the flask in a water bath, add 0.21-0.25g of benzoyl peroxide and 100mL of deionized water to the flask, and stir to dissolve the flask while heating in the water bath to obtain the first reactant. 7.8-8.1g of styrene, 8.1-8.5g of divinylbenzene, 11.7-11.9g of toluene, 1.1-1.2g of Span-80, and 6.9-7.1g of magnesium ion-modified activated carbon were mixed and dispersed uniformly by ultrasonication to obtain a mixture. 0.11-0.13g of surface-modified magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with silane coupling agent were added to the mixture to obtain the second reactant. A2. Argon gas is introduced into the flask of A1 for protection, and the second reactant is added dropwise to the first reactant to obtain the third reactant. During the dropwise addition, the stirring speed and the amount of argon gas introduced are increased. A3. After heating the third reactant to 75°C, stop the argon gas flow and react at 75°C for 5-6 hours. Then, remove the flask from the water bath and allow it to cool naturally. After that, perform magnetic separation on the resulting suspension, wash it multiple times with anhydrous ethanol, and dry it in a constant temperature vacuum drying oven to obtain the composite adsorbent.
[0008] Furthermore, in A1, the temperature of the water bath is 50±2℃, and after the temperature of the first reactant is raised to 50±2℃, it is kept at a constant temperature for 15-20 minutes.
[0009] Furthermore, in A3, the drying temperature is 40-42℃ and the drying time is 24h.
[0010] Furthermore, the preparation process of the magnesium ion modified activated carbon is as follows: B1. The activated carbon is washed three times with distilled water to remove inorganic impurities on the surface, then washed with 0.1 mol / L nitric acid, followed by washing with 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide to remove organic impurities on the surface of the activated carbon, then washed with water until neutral, and then dried to obtain pretreated activated carbon. B2. After impregnating the pretreated activated carbon obtained in B1 in Mg(NO3)2 solution, filter it and dry it in a drying oven to obtain magnesium ion modified activated carbon.
[0011] Furthermore, in B1, the drying temperature is 98-100℃ and the drying time is 12h.
[0012] Furthermore, in B2, the concentration of the Mg(NO3)2 solution is 0.05 mol / L; the ratio of the mass of the pretreated activated carbon to the volume of the Mg(NO3)2 solution is 10 g : (120-150) mL.
[0013] Furthermore, in B2, the immersion time is 22-25 hours.
[0014] Furthermore, in B2, the drying temperature is 120-125℃, and the drying time is 10-14h.
[0015] This application has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, styrene and divinylbenzene monomers begin to polymerize under the action of an initiator (benzoyl peroxide). At this time, the magnesium ion-modified activated carbon added will be partially coated by the resin, forming a "semi-coated" structure. This structure retains the high specific surface area adsorption characteristics of activated carbon while enhancing mechanical strength through the resin layer, preventing pulverization and loss during use. This structure allows phthalic acid molecules to diffuse rapidly to the surface of activated carbon through macroporous channels. At the same time, the hydrophobic environment of the resin layer enhances the affinity for organic acids, thereby improving the adsorption rate.
[0016] 2. Toluene, acting as a porogen, volatilizes during polymerization, forming macroporous channels. At this stage, magnesium ion-modified activated carbon is added, and its own microporous-mesoporous structure can communicate with the macropores formed by resin curing, constructing a three-level pore system of "macropore-mesopore-micropore". This structure not only solves the problem of easy clogging of traditional microporous materials, but also significantly improves the mass transfer efficiency, enabling phthalic acid molecules to quickly reach the active sites, thereby increasing the adsorption rate and improving the removal rate of phthalaldehyde.
[0017] 3. Magnesium ion-modified activated carbon introduces oxygen-containing functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups through nitric acid oxidation and loads Mg. 2+ The formation of coordination centers allows for electrostatic attraction or complexation with the carboxyl groups of phthalic acid; while the ester / amide groups in the resin adsorb the benzene ring structure through π-π stacking. The combined effect of these two factors synergistically enhances the adsorption rate and improves the removal rate of phthalic acid. Attached Figure Description

[0049] Results Analysis: Combining the data in Table 1 and... Figures 1-2 Analysis of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4, specifically comparing Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 3, shows that cross-linking activated carbon and the resin of the present invention to prepare the adsorbent can improve the adsorption rate / removal rate of phthalic acid in the prepared adsorbent.
