Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental functional materials and heavy metal wastewater treatment technology, specifically a method for preparing and applying a composite adsorbent based on iron and steel smelting dust. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, iron-based composite materials have attracted much attention due to their specific affinity for arsenic. However, existing iron-based materials suffer from problems such as uneven distribution of active sites, insufficient oxidation capacity for As(III), and difficulty in recycling powder materials. Iron and steel smelting dust is a major solid waste generated during iron and steel production, mainly including blast furnace dust, converter dust, and electric furnace dust, with a huge annual output. Taking blast furnace dust as an example, its main chemical composition is Fe2O3 30-45%, CaO 8-15%, SiO2 10-20%, Al2O3 2-5%, MgO 1-4%, and contains small amounts of MnO, ZnO, etc. Among these components, iron oxides are good adsorption carriers for arsenic, and calcium oxides can form insoluble precipitates with arsenic, possessing natural arsenic removal potential. However, raw iron and steel dust has defects such as low specific surface area and embedded active sites, limiting its direct application in the field of adsorption materials.
[0003] Currently, there are existing technologies that disclose the efficient removal of As(V) by iron-lanthanum compound adsorbents and the generation of oxygen vacancies and increased specific surface area by rare earth-doped porous spinel to enhance adsorption. However, these technologies still have limitations: iron-lanthanum compound adsorbents can only achieve the adsorption of single As(V), and do not utilize the electronic modulation effect of iron-lanthanum doping to achieve in-situ oxidation of As(III), nor do they combine with industrial solid waste to achieve resource utilization; although rare earth-doped spinel can generate oxygen vacancies through rare earth doping, the correlation mechanism between oxygen vacancies and the in-situ oxidation of highly toxic As(III) has not been elucidated. Oxygen vacancies are only used as a means to increase specific surface area and have not achieved targeted activation and utilization. Meanwhile, some researchers have attempted to modify metallurgical dust, but the following shortcomings remain: the modification process often results in the loss of natural active components in the dust; rare earth doping methods are mostly simple mixing and impregnation, resulting in poor loading uniformity, easy detachment of active components, and failure to achieve synergistic effects by combining multiple components in the dust; the lack of hierarchical regulation and directional activation design for oxygen vacancies makes it difficult to achieve the integrated in-situ oxidation of As(III) and efficient fixation of As(V). Furthermore, powder materials face challenges in practical applications, such as difficulty in recycling and the potential for secondary pollution.
[0004] Therefore, developing a composite adsorbent that uses iron and steel smelting dust as raw material, possesses both the ability to oxidize As(III) in situ and the ability to fix As(V) efficiently, and is easy to recycle, and its preparation method, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing and applying a composite adsorbent based on iron and steel smelting dust. The method involves retaining highly active components in the dust through a graded enrichment process, increasing surface defects and introducing functional groups under mild conditions through a low-temperature plasma activation process, and constructing a Fe-La-Mn ternary active center by combining it with Mn from the iron and steel smelting dust through a stepwise equal-volume iron-lanthanum impregnation doping process. This is followed by oxidative calcination to form a Fe2O3 / LaFeO3 / CaMnO3 multi-element heterojunction. Controllable introduction of oxygen vacancies is achieved through reduction treatment, endowing the material with oxidation capabilities and realizing the integrated removal of As(III) through in-situ oxidation and As(V) lattice fixation. Simultaneously, a spherical composite adsorbent based on iron and steel smelting dust with good mechanical strength is obtained through a molding and curing process.

[0016] This invention also provides an application of a composite adsorbent based on iron and steel smelting dust in the removal of arsenic from wastewater.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) This invention utilizes the multi-component properties of Fe-Mn-Ca in raw material steel smelting dust, and works synergistically with hierarchical enrichment, low-temperature plasma activation, iron-lanthanum gradient doping, and oxidation roasting-reduction treatment processes to form a quadruple mechanism of "oxygen vacancy hierarchical activation-Mn catalytic oxidation-Fe-La gradient adsorption-La-Ca lattice fixation". This achieves the beneficial effect of in-situ oxidation of As(III) and lattice-level multi-layer fixation of arsenic in an integrated manner. The specific mechanism is as follows: First, through a three-step physical separation process of "screening-gravity classification-magnetic separation", impurities are effectively removed and active components are enriched, avoiding the loss of active components during chemical treatment, thereby ensuring that the following mechanisms can work effectively; The plasma-coupled susceptibility-retention mechanism of iron-lanthanum doping involves etching nanoscale oriented mesopores / micropores on a dust surface using a low-temperature plasma activation process, introducing active functional groups. The hydroxyl groups on the pore surface are Fe. 3+ / La 3+ It provides dedicated coordination loading sites, increasing the exposure rate of active sites by over 80%. Simultaneously, the amplification of surface defects introduced by the iron-lanthanum ion plasma increases oxygen vacancy generation by over 30%, solving the problems of uneven loading and easy detachment of active components in existing rare earth doping methods. Employing a precise Fe-La ratio and a step-by-step impregnation process, it enables Fe... 3+ Underlying load, La 3+ Surface loading forms a Fe-La core-shell gradient distribution, preventing ion aggregation and increasing the exposure rate of active sites. It further combines with Mn in the dust to form Fe-La-Mn ternary active centers, realizing the entire process of As(III) oxidation → As(V) gradient adsorption → multi-layer lattice fixation, effectively improving adsorption selectivity. At the same time, iron lanthanum ions form coordination bonds with -COOH and -OH introduced by plasma, amplifying lattice defects on the dust surface, increasing the subsequent oxygen vacancy generation, forming a chain effect of "pore site creation - ion fixation - defect expansion", solving the problems of uneven loading and low oxygen vacancy generation in existing rare earth doping. The electron transfer enhancement mechanism of multi-component heterojunctions: Fe-La stepwise equal-volume impregnation process combined with Mn in dust to form Fe-La-Mn ternary active centers, which are then oxidized and calcined to form Fe2O3 / LaFeO3 / CaMnO3 multi-component heterojunctions. The band difference at the heterojunction interface promotes the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The separated electrons further replenish oxygen vacancies, enhancing the oxidation activity of oxygen vacancies. At the same time, holes can directly oxidize some As(III), realizing the dual oxidation of "oxygen vacancy oxidation + hole oxidation", further improving the oxidation efficiency of As(III).
[0018] La-Ca lattice coordination-regulated oxygen vacancy hierarchical generation-directional activation mechanism: Rare earth La 3+ With Ca in dust2+ Lattice coordination occurs, resulting in lattice distortion, which reduces the oxygen vacancy formation barrier by more than 40%. Combined with a two-stage heat treatment of oxidation and reduction at temperature gradients, the generation and directional activation of oxygen vacancies are achieved, increasing the oxidation efficiency of As(III) by more than 50%. Oxidation calcination generates shallow oxygen vacancies on the surface, while reduction treatment generates deep oxygen vacancies inside the lattice. The shallow oxygen vacancies act as electron enrichment centers, directly activating dissolved oxygen to generate superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals, providing an electron transfer pathway for the oxidation reaction of As(III)→As(V). The deep oxygen vacancies act as electron reserves / transfer channels, continuously replenishing electrons to the shallow oxygen vacancies, preventing rapid deactivation of oxygen vacancies due to electron consumption, and extending the stabilization time of oxygen vacancies to more than twice that of traditional methods. This achieves directional activation and long-term stability of As(III) oxidation by oxygen vacancies. The gradient synergistic mechanism of Fe-La-Mn ternary active centers: Mn in the dust acts as an oxidation auxiliary center. Its variable valence characteristic synergizes with shallow oxygen vacancies, receiving enriched electrons from these vacancies, accelerating the generation of free radicals and the oxidation rate of As(III), thus solving the problem of insufficient oxidation capacity in the pure iron-lanthanum system; Fe... 3+ As the main adsorption and fixation center for As(V), the inner lattice fixation of As(V) is achieved; La is used as the main adsorption and fixation center. 3+ As a surface trapping and electron modulation center for As(V), it interacts with Ca on the one hand. 2+ La-Ca coordination bonds are formed to construct an outer lattice "trapping network" to achieve secondary surface fixation of As(V). On the other hand, the bond length of Fe-O bonds is modulated through the lanthanide contraction effect to improve the adsorption efficiency, which is different from the single As(V) adsorption mechanism of existing pure iron lanthanum compounds. (2) This invention uses widely available iron and steel smelting dust as the main raw material, without the need to add additional oxidation catalysts or adsorbents, which greatly reduces the preparation cost. At the same time, it realizes the resource utilization and high-value utilization of bulk solid waste, which is in line with the circular economy concept of "treating waste with waste".
[0019] (3) The present invention uses cement clinker as a binder and obtains spherical particles with good mechanical strength (≥16N / particle) through a two-step curing process of "pre-curing-heat treatment". This makes it easy to pack into columns, recycle and regenerate, and facilitates industrial application. Detailed Implementation

[0047] The adsorbent prepared in Comparative Example 2 was applied to remove arsenic from arsenic-containing wastewater. The concentration of metal ions in the filtrate after arsenic removal was determined by ICP method, and the results are shown in Table 2.

The adsorbent prepared in this example can reduce the arsenic concentration in arsenic-containing wastewater with an initial concentration of 200 mg / L and a pH of 6 to 83.00 mg / L, with an arsenic removal rate of 58.50%.
[0048] The concentration of metal ions in the filtrate after arsenic removal was determined by ICP method, as shown in Table 2.
[0049] Table 2 The comparison revealed that the composite modified adsorbents prepared in Examples 1, 2, and 3 all exhibited significantly better adsorption performance for arsenic in wastewater than Comparative Examples 1 and 2.
[0050] In Comparative Example 1, the activated dust underwent oxidation-reduction heat treatment without the introduction of iron and lanthanum elements, resulting in extremely limited oxidation of As(III) and adsorption of As(V). Due to the lack of electronic modulation effect of iron and lanthanum, the formation energy barrier of oxygen vacancies on the iron oxide surface is high. Even after reduction treatment, the oxygen vacancy concentration remains low, making it difficult to effectively activate molecular oxygen to generate superoxide radicals. Therefore, the removal of As(III) in Comparative Example 1 is mainly based on physical adsorption, lacking oxidation capacity, which leads to a decrease in arsenic removal efficiency.
[0051] Comparative Example 2 underwent iron-lanthanum doping and oxidation calcination, but without reducing atmosphere treatment. The material surface was dominated by a complete lattice with extremely low oxygen vacancy concentration. In this structure, both Fe and La are in high valence states (Fe... 3+ La 3+ The lattice oxygen is arranged in a regular manner and lacks electron enrichment centers. Although the bimetallic sites still have a certain adsorption capacity for As(V), due to the lack of a molecular oxygen activation pathway driven by oxygen vacancies, the oxidation of As(III) by the material depends entirely on the natural oxidation of dissolved oxygen, which is extremely slow. Most of the As(III) is adsorbed in its original form, and the binding is not strong, making it easy to desorb. Therefore, the total arsenic removal rate of Comparative Example 2 is lower than that of Example 1 of this invention, and the adsorption stability is poor.
[0052] Therefore, this invention constructs a heterojunction interface through "iron-lanthanum doping," modulating the electronic structure and creating thermodynamic conditions for oxygen vacancy formation; and achieves controllable introduction of oxygen vacancies through "reduction treatment," endowing the material with the oxidation function of activated molecular oxygen. Both are indispensable: without iron-lanthanum doping, the oxygen vacancy formation energy barrier is high and the concentration is low; without reduction treatment, oxygen vacancies cannot be generated, and the material only has adsorption function without oxidation activity. It is precisely the synergistic coupling of "bimetallic heterojunction" and "lattice vacancies" that enables this invention to achieve integrated removal of As(III) through "in-situ oxidation-efficient adsorption-lattice solidification," with performance significantly superior to single modification strategies.
