Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid waste resource utilization technology, specifically involving a method for preparing supported nano-zero-valent iron using Anshan-type iron tailings. Background Technology

[0002] The large-scale stockpiling of Anshan-type iron ore tailings poses severe environmental pressure and safety hazards, and its high-value-added resource utilization remains a challenge in the field. On the other hand, nano-zero-valent iron, which holds great potential in water pollution control, is limited in practical application due to its inherent defects of easy agglomeration and oxidation. While existing loading technologies can partially alleviate this problem, the carriers used (such as activated carbon) are expensive and have limited functionality. It is worth noting that Anshan-type iron ore tailings are rich in components such as silica, making them ideal raw materials for preparing porous carriers, but existing technologies have not fully utilized this characteristic. Therefore, this invention aims to solve these two major challenges synergistically, providing a method for preparing low-cost, high-performance loaded nano-zero-valent iron from iron tailings, simultaneously achieving the dual goals of solid waste resource utilization and the development of new environmentally friendly materials.

[0003] CN 108911599B discloses a method for simultaneously preparing iron oxide and silica aerogel pads from iron tailings. The method uses iron tailings as raw material, which is successively ground, pulverized, and activated by high-temperature roasting. The activated iron tailings powder is mixed with hydrochloric acid and stirred to obtain filter residue and filtrate. The filter residue is mixed with sodium hydroxide particles, roasted, and then dissolved in water for heating and reaction. After passing through a cation exchange resin, the solution is adjusted to neutral with ammonia solution and then impregnated with glass fiber felt. The glass fiber felt is repeatedly squeezed to ensure uniform distribution of silica sol within it. After standing and gelling, a gel pad is obtained. This pad is then aged, subjected to solvent exchange, and surface modification to obtain a hydrophobic silica aerogel pad. The filtrate is adjusted to a slightly alkaline pH with ammonia, filtered after standing, and dried to obtain iron oxide nanoparticles. This method does not disclose the technical solution of using silica aerogel prepared from iron tailings as a carrier to load nano-zero valent iron, nor does it involve the method of using biomass extract as a green reducing agent to prepare nano-zero valent iron. It has the problems of insufficient depth of resource utilization of silicon and iron elements in iron tailings and failure to achieve the preparation of higher value-added nano-zero valent iron materials. Summary of the Invention

It provides a novel, high-value-added technological path for solid waste resource utilization. By using natural products extracted from coffee grounds, orange peels, etc., as reducing agents, it completely replaces the high-cost and toxic strong chemical reducing agents such as sodium borohydride used in traditional methods, eliminating the use of hazardous chemicals at the source and making the entire preparation process safer and more environmentally friendly.
