Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental functional material preparation and water treatment technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a modified lignin / waste clay co-pyrolysis adsorbent and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Bisphenol A (BPA), one of the world's most produced chemicals, is widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Due to its endocrine-disrupting effects and ecotoxicity, BPA has been listed as a priority pollutant for control. BPA is widely detected in aquatic environments, and conventional water treatment processes struggle to completely remove it. Therefore, developing efficient and economical BPA removal technologies is of significant environmental importance.

[0003] Adsorption methods are widely used due to their advantages such as simple operation, low cost, and no secondary pollution. Biochar adsorbents have attracted attention due to their large specific surface area, rich functional groups, and wide availability of raw materials. However, traditional biochar has limited adsorption capacity for BPA and its raw material cost is relatively high. On the other hand, lignin, as a major byproduct of the papermaking industry, has a huge annual output but low utilization rate; waste bleaching clay is a solid waste generated during oil refining, containing a large amount of residual organic matter and abundant inorganic mineral components. Co-pyrolyzing lignin and waste bleaching clay to produce clay-based biochar materials is an effective way to realize the resource utilization of waste.

[0004] Furthermore, the adsorption capacity and selectivity of existing adsorbents for BPA still need improvement, and the regeneration and resource recovery issues after adsorption saturation also urgently need to be addressed. Common adsorbents used for adsorbing bisphenol A (BPA) include carbon-based materials, natural minerals, polymers, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Natural minerals and polymers have drawbacks such as uneven pore size distribution and limited adsorption capacity; the preparation process of MOFs is relatively complex and the synthesis cost is relatively high. Carbon-based materials, on the other hand, present problems such as separation difficulties and the risk of secondary pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a novel adsorbent to address the problem of BPA pollution in aquatic environments. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In step (2), the mass-volume ratio of clay-based biochar to iron salt solution is 0.05-0.5:1, with units of g / mL.

[0013] In step (2), the immersion reaction is carried out at room temperature for 12-24 hours.

[0014] The drying temperature in step (2) is 100-110℃ and the drying time is 10-14h.

[0015] The pyrolysis described in step (2) is performed in a tube furnace at 600-700℃ for 2-3 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0018] In step (3), the oxidation modification temperature is room temperature and the oxidation modification time is 2-8h.

[0019] In step (3), the drying temperature is 80-105℃ and the drying time is 10-14h.

[0020] The modified lignin / waste clay co-pyrolysis adsorbent prepared in step (3) has a surface carboxyl content of 0.20-0.35 mmol / g, a phenolic hydroxyl content of 0.70-1.00 mmol / g, and a mesoporous and macroporous pore volume of 60-68 cm³. 3 / g, the content of carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups was determined by Boehm titration, and the pore volume was determined by nitrogen adsorption-desorption characterization.

Moreover, the porous structure formed during the initial carbonization process is conducive to improving the subsequent impregnation modification effect. Through the combined modification of iron loading and nitric acid oxidation, the content of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the adsorbent is significantly increased. Nitric acid treatment also optimizes the pore structure and constructs a mesoporous-macroporous hierarchical pore structure, which is conducive to the diffusion and adsorption of BPA molecules.

[0029] (2) In the preparation method of the modified lignin / waste clay co-pyrolysis adsorbent described in this invention, the Fe3O4 introduced by iron loading is the core active site for electron transfer, and the nitric acid oxidation increases the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface. The synergistic effect of the two significantly improves the adsorption performance. The adsorption capacity of Fe / Ads-1N modified with 1 mol / L nitric acid for BPA reached 47.5 mg / g (Example 1), which is higher than that of the original clay-based biochar (4.9 mg / g, Comparative Example 1) and the iron-loaded adsorbent without nitric acid modification (27.2 mg / g, Comparative Example 2).

[0030] (3) The modified lignin / waste clay co-pyrolysis adsorbent described in this invention is used for the adsorption of bisphenol A. The adsorption process follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and a Langmuir isotherm model, and belongs to endothermic spontaneous monolayer chemical adsorption (ΔH > 0, ΔG < 0).

[0031] (4) The application of the modified lignin / waste clay co-pyrolysis adsorbent described in this invention also provides a pyrolysis regeneration method for the adsorbent after adsorption saturation.

Subsequently, the saturated iron-supported adsorbent was regenerated by pyrolysis in the same manner as in Example 1. The test showed that the phenol content in the liquid phase product was 85.8%, CH4 was recovered in the gas phase product, and the CH4 content in the gas phase product was 74.3%. The solid phase was the regenerated modified lignin / waste clay co-pyrolysis adsorbent, which can be recycled. After three cycles, the adsorption capacity was 16.4 mg / g, with a retention rate of 60.3%. The phenol content in the liquid phase product was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the CH4 content in the gas phase product was determined by a portable gas chromatograph.

[0099] Comparative Example 3 The adsorbent prepared in Comparative Example 3 differs from that in Example 1 in that step (1) of Example 1 is omitted (2), and step (3) is directly performed, i.e., the prepared clay-based biochar is directly subjected to nitric acid oxidation in step (3). The resulting adsorbent has a surface carboxyl content of 0.16 mmol / g, a phenolic hydroxyl content of 0.55 mmol / g, and a mesopore and macropore volume of 18 cm³. 3 / g. The content of carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups was determined by Boehm titration, and the pore volume was characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The prepared adsorbent was then applied under the same conditions as in Example 1. The adsorbent showed an adsorption capacity of 15.3 mg / g for bisphenol A in water, with a BPA removal rate of approximately 30.6%. Subsequently, the saturated nitric acid oxidative adsorbent was regenerated by pyrolysis in the same manner as in Example 1. The liquid phase product contained 82.1% phenol, and CH4 was recovered from the gas phase product, with a CH4 content of 71.5%. The solid phase was the regenerated modified lignin / waste clay co-pyrolysis adsorbent, which can be recycled. After three cycles, the adsorption capacity was 6.5 mg / g, with a retention rate of 42.5%. The phenol content in the liquid phase product was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the CH4 content in the gas phase product was determined by a portable gas chromatograph.
