Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a hollow microsphere leaching material for heavy metal contaminated soil, its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of heavy metal contaminated soil remediation. Background Technology
[0002] Hollow microspheres, with their unique cavity structure, low density, high specific surface area, and good permeability, exhibit significant advantages in adsorption and separation. Hollow microspheres, in particular, constructed from self-assembled nanoparticles, not only retain the size effect of nanounits but also achieve easy separation through their micron-scale spherical structure, making them a hot research topic in heavy metal pollution remediation materials. Current technologies primarily employ hard template methods (such as polystyrene microspheres and silica spheres) or soft template methods (such as emulsion droplets and micelles) to construct hollow structures. Inorganic precursors are coated onto the template surface through a sol-gel process or hydrothermal reaction, followed by calcination or solvent dissolution to remove the template and obtain hollow microspheres. However, hard template methods are often cumbersome, and the template removal process may damage the shell structure; while soft template methods offer milder conditions, they are sensitive to synthesis conditions and struggle to precisely control the nanoparticle packing morphology and pore structure of the shell.

Then, under nitrogen protection, cuprous bromide, pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, anisole, styrene, and ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate were added and mixed. The mixture was then circulated through liquid nitrogen freezing-evacuation-thawing 1-3 times and then placed in a water bath for reaction. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was diluted with tetrahydrofuran and passed through a neutral alumina column. The filtrate was then added dropwise to methanol to precipitate the product. After filtration, the product was dried under vacuum to obtain PS-Br powder.
[0008] S2: The dried Shrek tube was evacuated and purged with nitrogen 1-3 times. Then, under nitrogen protection, PS-Br powder, cuprous bromide, pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, toluene, and tert-butyl acrylate were added and mixed. The mixture was then circulated through liquid nitrogen freezing-evacuation-thawing 1-3 times and then placed in a water bath for water bath reaction. After the reaction was completed, it was diluted with tetrahydrofuran and passed through a neutral alumina column.

[0009] S3: PS-b-PtBA powder and dichloromethane are mixed to form a mixture, then trifluoroacetic acid is added and stirred at room temperature. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is evaporated by rotary evaporation to obtain a block copolymer template.
[0010] S4: Weigh out the block copolymer template, ethylene glycol, and deionized water, mix them, and then stir them in a water bath at a constant temperature to form a micelle core solution.

The sample was then homogenized and aged at room temperature (25 °C) for 2 months. The leaching material, deionized water, and simulated contaminated soil were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:10:10 and shaken for 1 h using a constant temperature shaker (200 r / min). The supernatant was then filtered. The content of heavy metals in the supernatant was determined by ICP, and the elution rate of heavy metals was calculated. The elution rates of cadmium carbonate and arsenic sulfide were both higher than 90%.
[0029] Beneficial effects:
[0030] (1) To avoid the problem that commercial block copolymers rely on hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions in solution to form micelles, the size distribution and morphological stability of which are easily affected by external conditions such as temperature and concentration, and the lack of active sites on the micelle surface that specifically bind to inorganic precursors, this invention synthesizes polystyrene-polyacrylic acid (PS-b-PAA) block copolymer templates through atom transfer radical polymerization. The PAA blocks are rich in carboxyl groups, which can chemically bond with titanium and silicon sources through coordination or electrostatic interactions, thereby forming a strong organic-inorganic covalent interface on the micelle surface. The inorganic shell anchored by chemical bonds is not easy to peel off or collapse from the template surface during subsequent processing, ensuring the integrity and stability of the core-shell structure. In addition, the uniform combination of carboxyl groups and inorganic precursors enables the inorganic components to form a continuous and controllable coating layer on the micelle surface, avoiding the uneven coating or agglomeration caused by conventional physical adsorption, thereby providing a stable primary building block for obtaining hollow microspheres with regular morphology.
[0031] (2) To avoid the problem that direct hot air dehydration during spray drying can cause the capillary force generated by solvent evaporation to drive the nanoparticles to pack tightly, which can easily lead to particle densification or even spherical shrinkage and make it difficult to form a hollow cavity, this invention uses spray freeze-drying technology to construct a hollow structure through physical phase separation and sublimation mechanism. First, the core-shell structure micelle sol is atomized into micron-sized droplets and rapidly frozen under liquid nitrogen conditions, so that deionized water and ethylene glycol form solid ice crystals. Then, under vacuum freeze-drying conditions, the ice crystals directly sublimate and escape, leaving the space originally occupied by the ice crystals as macroporous channels, while the composite micelles are piled up at the ice crystal boundaries to form a loose micron-sized spherical skeleton. In addition, the particle size of the hollow microspheres can be controlled by controlling the diameter of the atomizing nozzle and the gas pressure. The freeze-drying process is carried out under low temperature vacuum, which can avoid the effect of liquid phase surface tension, so that the spherical shell structure formed by micelle stacking can be preserved in its original form.
[0032] (3) To avoid the problem that conventional hydrothermal crystallization often directly treats dense inorganic shells, with the reaction mainly occurring on the surface and making it difficult to form through-pores inside the shell, this invention performs hydrothermal treatment on the microsphere skeleton with the assistance of CTAB. In a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, an Oswald ripening process of dissolution-redeposition is initiated. Smaller, thermodynamically unstable inorganic nanoparticles gradually dissolve and recrystallize on the surface of larger particles. This process causes the micelle units that were originally physically stacked to be transformed into uniform nanoparticles connected by chemical bonds. The nanoparticles then aggregate and self-assemble. The CTAB is assembled into a robust shell framework. During this process, CTAB acts as a pore guiding agent and self-assembles into a micelle template during hydrothermal treatment. It is embedded in the inorganic framework and occupies the space at the nanoscale. After the reaction, CTAB is removed by centrifugation and washing, leaving mesopores in the gaps between the nanoparticles. The mesopores generated by CTAB and the macropores formed by freeze-drying in step (2) constitute a hierarchical pore structure. The mesopores provide adsorption sites with high specific surface area, while the macropores serve as fast channels for material transport. They have a significant synergistic effect on improving the adsorption rate and adsorption capacity of heavy metal ions.
[0033] (4) To avoid the problem that although conventional liquid phase etching can rapidly expand holes, the etching of nanoparticles by strong alkaline solutions is often anisotropic and difficult to control, which can easily cause local over-dissolution of the shell or even structural collapse, the present invention
[0034] Ethylenediamine vapor is used for gentle etching, followed by in-situ thiol functionalization, to achieve synergistic optimization of pore unblocking and active site introduction. Ethylenediamine vapor diffuses into the microsphere pores under high temperature and pressure to perform gentle chemical etching of SiO2-TiO2, unblocking potentially closed or narrow pores and exposing more active hydroxyl groups. After etching, the microspheres are transferred to a toluene solution containing MPTMS for reflux grafting. The highly reactive hydroxyl groups can undergo efficient condensation reactions with the methoxy groups of MPTMS to form stable Si-O-Si covalent bonds, ensuring that thiol functional groups are not only grafted on the outer surface of the microspheres but also uniformly distributed deep within the inner walls of the nanopores, improving the utilization rate of active sites and the accessibility to heavy metal ions.
[0035] Therefore, the heavy metal contaminated soil leaching material prepared by this invention has multiple advantages, such as high density of thiol complexation sites, rapid mass transfer characteristics of hierarchical channels, and chemical stability of composite oxide skeleton. In the application of heavy metal contaminated soil leaching, it exhibits large adsorption capacity, fast adsorption rate, and easy recycling and regeneration, and has strong application and promotion value.
