Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of solid waste resource utilization and water pollution control, specifically to a gradient core-shell zero-valent iron porous ceramsite, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Arsenic-containing wastewater is a typical highly toxic industrial wastewater discharged from industries such as mining, smelting, and chemical processing. Among them, trivalent arsenic (As(III)) is about 60 times more toxic than pentavalent arsenic (As(V)) and has strong carcinogenicity, bioaccumulation, and mobility, posing a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. As(III) mainly exists in the form of neutral H3AsO3 in aqueous solution, which is difficult to remove directly by traditional adsorption methods. Therefore, achieving efficient oxidation and simultaneous fixation of As(III) is the core technical bottleneck of the deep treatment of arsenic-containing wastewater.

[0003] Among the relevant treatment technologies, chemical precipitation is prone to generating a large amount of arsenic-containing sludge, causing secondary pollution. Ion exchange resin is costly and difficult to regenerate. Membrane separation is prone to membrane fouling, leading to a decrease in treatment efficiency. Advanced oxidation-adsorption synergistic technology has become a research hotspot because it can simultaneously achieve As(III) oxidation and As(V) fixation. Among them, the zero-valent iron activated permonosulfate (PMS) system has attracted much attention due to its high oxidation efficiency and mild reaction conditions. However, this system generally suffers from problems such as easy agglomeration and deactivation of zero-valent iron, difficulty in separation and recovery after reaction, and high iron dissolution rate. There is an urgent need to develop new composite materials that combine efficient activation and stable loading functions.

[0004] The discharge of industrial solid wastes such as steel slag, red mud, fly ash, and municipal sludge remains at a high level, highlighting their environmental risks and utilization challenges. Steel slag, being hard, is prone to weathering and pulverization during open-air storage, and its heavy metal components may leach out with rainwater, polluting surrounding soil. Red mud is highly alkaline and has a high water content; large-scale storage not only occupies land resources but also poses a risk of dam failure, and its highly alkaline leachate can cause alkaline pollution of groundwater systems. While fly ash is currently used as an admixture in building materials, the overall utilization rate is less than 60%, and its added value is low; its fine particulate matter is easily dispersed, exacerbating air pollution. Municipal sludge is rich in organic matter and heavy metals; direct landfilling will produce highly polluted leachate, threatening groundwater safety; incineration poses a risk of releasing toxic gases such as dioxins.

[0005] Current industrial solid waste resource utilization technologies face systemic limitations: First, the resource utilization model is singular, mainly focusing on low-value utilization, lacking process design for multi-solid waste synergy, making it difficult to achieve component complementarity and maximize environmental benefits; second, pollution control throughout the entire process is lacking, especially during the drying and sintering stages, heavy metals are prone to volatilization into the atmosphere, and the products are prone to leaching excessive heavy metals in acidic and humid environments. Although existing pretreatment methods (such as single strong acid rinsing) can partially remove heavy metals, they severely damage the solid waste skeleton structure and lack subsequent stabilization measures, resulting in the continuous existence of pollution migration risks. The overall technical route is still out of touch with actual environmental needs such as water pollution control, restricting the dual improvement of resource utilization efficiency and ecological benefits.

[0006] Therefore, developing a multifunctional material that can achieve efficient synergy among multiple solid wastes, precise control of process pollution, and high added value is of great and urgent practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Another objective of this invention is to provide an application of gradient core-shell zero-valent iron porous ceramic particles in the adsorption of arsenic in water.

[0045] Mechanism of this invention: This invention achieves safe controlled release of heavy metals from solid waste through pretreatment removal, in-situ solidification, and high-temperature locking, and efficiently removes arsenic pollution from water using a gradient core-shell-zero-valent iron activation synergistic system. Citric acid-tartaric acid leaching and Fe-Mn biochar adsorption target and remove free heavy metals, while a phosphate-bentonite composite agent solidifies residual metals in situ (solidification rate ≥97%). High-temperature sintering then stably dissolves the heavy metals in the ceramic lattice, resulting in leaching concentrations far below national standards. Furthermore, by constructing a TiO2 inner layer / biochar-fly ash outer gradient shell and coating zero-valent iron with SiO2, a double barrier is formed, preventing the leaching of internal heavy metals and increasing the utilization rate of zero-valent iron to 90%. During arsenic removal, the protected zero-valent iron continuously activates PMS, oxidizing As(III) to As(V); the gradient shell enriches arsenic and PMS, and the Fe-O / Al-O groups on the ceramic surface fix As(V) through complexation; simultaneously, steel slag in the solid waste slowly releases OH-. - The pH of the system is automatically adjusted to a suitable range to synergistically ensure the activity and fixation effect of zero-valent iron, and finally form an integrated synergistic mechanism of controlled release-oxidation-adsorption-fixation, so as to simultaneously realize the safe resource utilization of solid waste and the deep purification of arsenic-containing wastewater.

[0046] This invention provides a gradient core-shell zero-valent iron porous ceramsite, its preparation method, and its application, which have the following beneficial effects: (1) This invention reduces the amount of heavy metals in solid waste at the source and permanently locks them in the ceramic lattice through a three-step pretreatment process of rinsing-adsorption-solidification combined with a pre-calcination-sintering process. The leaching concentration is far lower than the national standard, eliminating secondary pollution. The TiO2 / biochar-fly ash gradient shell and the SiO2 coating of zero-valent iron form a double barrier, effectively isolating the locked heavy metals from the external environment and the active sites of zero-valent iron. This not only prevents the leaching of heavy metals but also avoids the deactivation of the zero-valent iron catalyst, making the utilization rate of zero-valent iron exceed 90%, thus ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the material.

[0047] (2) The gradient core-shell zero-valent iron porous ceramsite prepared by the present invention exhibits excellent deep purification capabilities in the treatment of arsenic-containing wastewater. In particular, it can maintain a high arsenic removal rate even under high arsenic concentration (e.g., 200 mg / L), demonstrating excellent pollutant tolerance and structural stability. This ceramsite material is not only suitable for upgrading conventional low-concentration arsenic-containing wastewater, but also effectively addresses high-concentration, highly toxic arsenic-containing wastewater generated by industries such as smelting, chemical, and mining, significantly broadening its industrial application scenarios. The present invention provides an efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly solution for the treatment of such difficult-to-treat wastewater, demonstrating outstanding technical competitiveness and practical engineering application potential.

[0048] (3) This invention achieves the unity of waste treatment and cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Using steel slag, red mud, fly ash, municipal sludge and rice husk as raw materials, it transforms them into high-value core-shell structure catalysts through an environmentally friendly biodegradable acid pretreatment process. This process not only avoids secondary pollution, but also turns low-value / negative-cost waste into resources, increasing the added value by more than 10 times. It provides an innovative path for the large-scale high-value utilization of solid waste that has both environmental and economic benefits. Detailed Implementation

[0114] The ceramsite materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 were used to remove arsenic from wastewater. The wastewater came from the sulfuric acid workshop of a zinc smelter in Southwest China, which produced a large amount of arsenic and other impurities after washing smelting flue gas. Ultrapure water was used to adjust the arsenic concentration to 50 mg / L. The main components and their concentrations in the wastewater are shown in Table 1. The specific application steps were as follows: the pH of the arsenic-containing wastewater with an arsenic concentration of 50 mg / L was adjusted to 3 ± 0.5; 2.0 g of ceramsite material was added to 50 mL of arsenic-containing wastewater; then 0.03 g of permonosulfate (PMS) was added; the mixture was stirred at 350 rpm for 24 h at room temperature and pressure. The concentration of metal ions in the filtrate after the reaction was completed was determined by ICP method.

[0115] Table 1 The concentration of metal ions in the filtrate after arsenic removal was determined by ICP method, as shown in Table 2.

[0116] Table 2 As shown in Tables 1-2, this invention uses four types of solid waste—steel slag, red mud, fly ash, and municipal sludge—as raw materials to establish a three-stage synergistic system: pretreatment targeted removal, in-situ solidification preparation, and calcination lattice locking. In the pretreatment stage, a combination of biodegradable acid stepwise rinsing and Fe-Mn modified biochar adsorption technology is employed: the citric acid-tartaric acid composite acid selectively dissolves free heavy metals, avoiding the damage to the solid waste matrix structure caused by traditional strong acids; the Fe-Mn modified biochar further removes residual heavy metals through complexation and electrostatic interaction, reducing the total heavy metal content in the solid waste to ≤10 mg / kg; in the raw material mixing stage, a phosphate-bentonite composite solidifying agent is introduced, whose layered structure enables physical encapsulation of heavy metals, achieving a better solidification effect. During pre-calcination, CO removes Cr... 6+ Reduced to easily curable Cr 3+ Subsequent high-temperature sintering causes SiO2 and Al2O3 in the solid waste to form a glassy melt, which stably dissolves the solidified heavy metals inside the crystal lattice. The final heavy metal leaching concentration of the ceramic particles is significantly lower than the national standard, completely avoiding the risk of secondary pollution.

[0117] This invention designs a TiO2 inner layer-biochar / fly ash outer layer gradient shell structure and modifies zero-valent iron with SiO2 coating to form a dual barrier and active protection mechanism. The arsenic removal performance of the prepared gradient core-shell zero-valent iron porous ceramsite depends on the synergistic effect of zero-valent iron and the gradient core-shell structure: zero-valent iron removes arsenic through Fe... 0 →Fe 2+ →Fe 3+ The valence cycle continuously activates persulfate (PMS), producing SO4• - •OH and 1 O2 efficiently oxidizes the difficult-to-adsorb As(III) into the easily adsorbed As(V); the outer biochar-fly ash shell can enrich As(V) and PMS, while the inner TiO2 shell assists in the adsorption of As(V). At the same time, the Al-O and Fe-O groups on the surface of the ceramsite matrix fix As(V) through electrostatic adsorption and complexation reactions (forming Fe-As-O and Al-As-O complexes); in addition, the CaO contained in the steel slag in the solid waste can slowly release OH-. - The system pH is automatically adjusted to a suitable range of 3-7 without the need for external acid, which avoids the leaching of heavy metals under acidic conditions and ensures the activation efficiency of PMS by zero-valent iron.

[0118] In contrast, the ceramsite without added zero-valent iron (Comparative Example 1) mainly relies on the physical adsorption of its porous structure and the weak hydroxyl exchange on the surface of Fe2O3 in red mud. Its affinity for As(III) is limited, its adsorption is highly reversible and has low selectivity, leading to a significant decrease in arsenic removal efficiency. The gradient core-shell structure zero-valent iron porous ceramsite prepared in this invention, compared to Comparative Example 1, achieves integrated synergistic removal of heavy metals through controlled release, oxidation, adsorption, and fixation. This provides an innovative solution for the deep purification of arsenic-containing wastewater and the high-value-added resource utilization of diverse solid wastes, with broad application prospects.

[0119] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
