Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of adsorption material technology, specifically a coupled adsorption material containing zeolite and biochar, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Ammonia nitrogen is a key pollutant inducing eutrophication in water bodies, and is widely found in domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, and livestock and poultry breeding wastewater. Adsorption methods, due to their simplicity and recyclable materials, have significant engineering application value in the advanced treatment of ammonia nitrogen. Natural zeolites rely on exchangeable cations (Na+) within their framework. + Ca 2+ K + ) and NH4 + Ion exchange enables selective retention; the surface of biochar is rich in oxygen-containing functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, which can remove NH4 through surface complexation and electrostatic adsorption. + Combining the two components allows for a synergistic effect of both mechanisms, resulting in superior ammonia nitrogen removal compared to a single component. Saturated composite materials typically require high-temperature thermal regeneration (>200℃) for NH4 desorption. + To restore adsorption capacity.
[0003] However, zeolites are long-range ordered inorganic aluminosilicate crystals with a linear thermal expansion coefficient ranging from (1 to 10) × 10⁻⁶. - 6 K -1 The range; biochar is a porous amorphous carbon framework, and its coefficient of thermal expansion and degree of anisotropy differ significantly from zeolite. When the two are coupled through physical mixing, the interfacial bonding relies solely on van der Waals forces and mechanical interlocking, resulting in limited bonding strength. During high-temperature regeneration, the two phases experience uncoordinated thermal strain due to the mismatch in their coefficients of thermal expansion, leading to the accumulation of periodic thermal stress at the interface. With repeated regeneration cycles, this stress continues to accumulate and extend towards the bonding layer, ultimately triggering the initiation, propagation, and even macroscopic cracking and peeling of the interfacial microcracks. The structural integrity of the composite material is irreversibly damaged, and NH4... + The adsorption capacity decreases continuously with the number of cycles. Summary of the Invention

M22. Add the pre-treated coconut shell biochar to a 0.2 mol / L zirconium oxychloride solution, stir and impregnate to obtain coconut shell biochar suspension A; M23. While stirring, sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise to coconut shell biochar suspension A to adjust the pH of the system; stirring was continued, the mixture was filtered and separated, and washed with deionized water to obtain the coconut shell biochar precursor. M24. The coconut shell biochar precursor was dispersed in a 0.5 mol / L phosphoric acid solution, stirred and reacted, filtered, washed with deionized water, and dried to obtain the dried product. M25. The dried product was placed in a 0.5 mol / L phosphoric acid solution, hydrothermally treated, naturally cooled, filtered, washed with deionized water, and dried to obtain modified coconut shell biochar.
[0009] Further, the coconut shell biochar is 60-80 mesh; the solid-liquid ratio of the pretreated coconut shell biochar to 1 mol / L nitric acid solution is 1:20; the solid-liquid ratio of the oxidized pretreated coconut shell biochar to 0.2 mol / L zirconium oxychloride solution is 1:20; the solid-liquid ratio of the coconut shell biochar precursor to 0.5 mol / L phosphoric acid solution is 1:20; the unit of the solid-liquid ratio is g / mL.
[0010] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a coupled adsorption material containing zeolite and biochar, used in the aforementioned coupled adsorption material containing zeolite and biochar, comprising the following steps: M1. Add 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to a mixed solution of ethanol and water, adjust the pH with glacial acetic acid, and hydrolyze to obtain a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane hydrolysate; M2.

[0012] Based on the same inventive concept, the third invention also provides an application of a coupled adsorption material containing zeolite and biochar or a preparation method in the high-temperature thermal regeneration cycle treatment of ammonia nitrogen wastewater.
[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. From the perspective of adsorption performance, modified zeolite, after pretreatment with hydrochloric acid to remove surface impurities and treatment with ammonium oxalate to remove Ca2+ occupying exchange sites in the pores, exhibits the following effects: 2+After three steps of treatment—calcination to activate the pores and sodium chloride solution exchange—the framework ion exchange sites are fully exposed and uniformly converted to Na+. + Type, for NH4 + The selective retention capacity is enhanced. Modified coconut shell biochar, after nitric acid oxidation to increase surface oxygen-containing functional groups and loading with zirconium phosphate, exhibits enhanced surface complexation and electrostatic adsorption, further enhanced by the addition of P-OH and NH4 groups on the zirconium phosphate surface. + H + / NH4 + Ion exchange and adsorption mechanisms have evolved from single-surface complexation to a multi-mechanism synergistic process. After two-phase coupling, three mechanisms emerge—modified zeolite framework Na… + / NH4 + Ion exchange, oxygen-containing functional group surface complexation and electrostatic adsorption, zirconium phosphate H + / NH4 + Ion exchange – working synergistically on the same material, it has a better ammonia nitrogen removal capacity than any single component.
[0014] 2. From the perspective of structural stability, after the coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane hydrolyzes, its silanol groups covalently condense with the modified zeolite surface. The terminal amino groups and zirconium phosphate P-OH form a strong interfacial bond through hydrogen bonding and acid-base interactions. Heat treatment further promotes interfacial densification. This bonding layer upgrades the two-phase connection method from simple physical mixing via van der Waals forces and mechanical interlocking to interfacial bonding with higher bonding strength. This effectively buffers the interfacial thermal stress caused by the mismatch in the thermal expansion coefficients of the two phases during high-temperature regeneration, inhibits the initiation and propagation of microcracks, ensures the structural integrity and adsorption capacity stability of the material after multiple regeneration cycles, and extends the material's service life.

High-temperature regeneration cycle test After conducting the first adsorption test (same as the initial adsorption performance test) on Examples 1-3, Comparative Examples 8, and Comparative Examples 11, the removal rate was measured. The adsorbent material was gently rinsed three times with deionized water (to remove surface residue), dried at 105℃, calcined at 250℃ for 2 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere (heating rate 5℃ / min), and then allowed to cool naturally. Adsorption tests were then performed again under the same conditions to obtain… Repeat 5 times and calculate the regeneration efficiency each time. ;in This refers to the initial adsorption removal rate. The removal rate is the value after the nth regeneration.

After five high-temperature regenerations at 250℃, the regeneration efficiency of Examples 1-3 remained high, while the regeneration efficiency of Comparative Examples 8 and 11 decreased significantly, with Comparative Example 8 showing a more severe decrease; this proves that the modification treatment and the silane coupling agent interfacial bonding layer together ensure the high-temperature cycling stability of the material, and neither can be omitted.
