Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a bio-based green flocculant, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization, the discharge of various industrial wastewaters, especially papermaking wastewater, has been increasing year by year, posing a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Papermaking wastewater has a complex composition, mainly containing high concentrations of suspended solids, lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, resin, pigments, and various chemical additives. It is characterized by high chemical oxygen demand (COD), high color, and poor biodegradability. Direct discharge without effective treatment will lead to eutrophication of receiving water bodies, the death of aquatic organisms, and severe disruption of the aquatic ecological balance. Therefore, developing efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technologies has become a research hotspot in the current water treatment field.
[0003] Flocculation is widely used in papermaking wastewater treatment due to its advantages such as simple operation, high treatment efficiency, and relatively low cost. Flocculants, as the core of flocculation, directly determine the treatment effect. Traditional flocculants are mainly divided into inorganic flocculants, such as polyaluminum chloride and polyferric sulfate, and organic synthetic polymer flocculants, such as polyacrylamide. Although inorganic flocculants are inexpensive, they have problems such as large dosage, large amount of sludge production, and high levels of aluminum or iron ion residues in the treated water, which may cause secondary pollution to the environment and human health. Organic synthetic polymer flocculants have advantages such as fast flocculation speed and low dosage, but most are difficult to biodegrade, and their monomer residues, such as acrylamide monomer, often have neurotoxicity and teratogenicity, posing significant environmental safety risks.
[0004] In recent years, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the development of green chemistry, the development of environmentally friendly bio-based flocculants has become a research hotspot. Bio-based flocculants are mainly derived from natural polymers or their modified products, and have advantages such as wide availability of raw materials, biodegradability, and non-toxicity. However, single natural polymer flocculants often have disadvantages such as low molecular weight, low charge density, and unstable flocculation activity, which limit their practical application. By introducing synthetic polymer chains into the natural polymer backbone through chemical modification methods such as graft copolymerization, composite flocculants with both good flocculation performance and biodegradability can be obtained.
[0005] On the other hand, traditional flocculants are often difficult to separate and recover from water after application, which not only wastes resources but may also cause new environmental problems. In recent years, magnetic separation technology has attracted attention due to its advantages such as fast separation speed, simple operation, and no need for complex equipment. Introducing magnetic particles into flocculants to prepare magnetically responsive flocculants can achieve rapid separation and recycling of flocculants under the action of an external magnetic field, significantly reducing treatment costs and secondary pollution. However, most of the magnetic flocculants reported so far suffer from problems such as poor dispersion of magnetic particles, weak bonding with organic matrices, and complex preparation processes, which limit their large-scale application.
[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a bio-based green flocculant, its preparation method and application, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention provides a bio-based green flocculant, its preparation method, and its application. The prepared flocculant combines cationic monomers with magnetic microparticles through graft copolymerization, exhibiting both excellent flocculation and magnetic separation performance. It has high removal rates of turbidity, chemical oxygen demand, and color in papermaking wastewater, short magnetic separation time, and advantages such as environmental friendliness and recyclability. The preparation process is simple and suitable for industrial production.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: On the one hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing a bio-based green flocculant, comprising the following steps: mixing a first reactive monomer and a second reactive monomer at a dosage ratio of 5-8 g / mL, then adding deionized water at a volume of 30-50 times that of the second reactive monomer, mixing and stirring at a speed of 300-500 r / min for 20-30 min, then adding modified magnetic microparticles at a mass of 3-6% of the first reactive monomer, dispersing them evenly, and then introducing nitrogen gas into the mixture, adding a reaction promoter after 20-40 min, and then stirring and reacting in a water bath at 45-55℃ for 5-8 h; after the reaction is completed, filtering the reaction solution, washing the filter cake with acetone 3-5 times, transferring it to a vacuum drying device, vacuum drying at a temperature of 60-80℃, and then pulverizing it to obtain the final bio-based green flocculant.
[0009] Furthermore, the first reaction monomer is any one of acrylamide, methacrylamide, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and dimethylaminopropylacrylamide.
[0010] Furthermore, the second reaction monomer is any one of acryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride, dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride, methacryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride, and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate.
[0011] Furthermore, the reaction promoter is composed of an oxidant and a reducing agent, and the amount of the oxidant added is 0.05-0.1% of the mass of the first reaction monomer, and the amount of the reducing agent added is 2-5% of the mass of the first reaction monomer.
[0012] Furthermore, the oxidant is any one of potassium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide.
[0013] Furthermore, the reducing agent is any one of sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium thiosulfate.
[0014] Furthermore, the modified magnetic microparticles are prepared by the following method: magnetic microparticles are added to deionized water at a dosage ratio of 5-8 g / mL, ultrasonically dispersed for 20-30 min, and then cis-9-+octadecenoic acid (1-1.5 times the volume of deionized water) is slowly added to the resulting dispersion. After uniform dispersion, the temperature of the resulting mixed phase is raised to 55-65℃, and the mixture is kept at this temperature and shaken for 20-30 h. After the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is filtered, and the resulting filter cake is washed with acetone 3-5 times. Then, it is transferred to a vacuum drying device and vacuum dried at 60-80℃ for 20-30 h to obtain the modified magnetic microparticles.
[0015] Furthermore, the magnetic microparticles are prepared by the following method: ferric chloride, ferrous chloride, and deionized water are mixed and stirred evenly in a mass ratio of 6-10:2-5:80-120. Under nitrogen protection, the temperature of the resulting mixed solution is raised to 65-75°C and kept at this temperature for 30-50 minutes. Then, 20-30 wt% deionized water and 20-30% ammonia solution are added to the reaction solution, and the reaction is carried out at 65-75°C for 30-50 minutes. Next, the temperature of the reaction solution is raised to 85-95°C and kept at this temperature for 60-80 minutes. The reactants are then filtered, washed with deionized water, magnetically screened, and vacuum dried sequentially to obtain the magnetic microparticles.
[0016] On the other hand, the present invention provides a bio-based green flocculant, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0017] Thirdly, the application of the bio-based green flocculant prepared by this invention in the treatment of papermaking wastewater.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The bio-based green flocculant prepared by this invention has excellent flocculation performance. By copolymerizing the cationic second reactive monomer with the first reactive monomer, a high density of positively charged groups is introduced into the flocculant molecular chain. This enables the effective adsorption of suspended particles, colloidal substances, and dissolved organic matter in negatively charged papermaking wastewater through charge neutralization. At the same time, the bridging effect of the polymer chains aggregates fine flocs into large and dense flocs, significantly improving the removal efficiency of turbidity, color, and chemical oxygen demand.
[0019] 2. The flocculant of this invention also possesses highly efficient magnetic separation performance. By introducing cis-9-octadecenoic acid-modified magnetic microparticles in situ during the polymerization reaction, a strong bond between the magnetic microparticles and the polymer matrix is achieved. The carboxyl groups in the cis-9-octadecenoic acid molecule form coordination bonds with the iron atoms on the surface of the magnetic microparticles, while the long-chain alkyl groups and carbon-carbon double bonds can undergo hydrophobic interactions and copolymerization reactions with the polymer chains, thereby ensuring the uniform dispersion and stable anchoring of the magnetic microparticles in the flocculant. Under the action of an external magnetic field, this flocculant can be rapidly separated from the treated water, exhibiting high magnetic separation efficiency, significantly shortening the solid-liquid separation time, reducing treatment costs, and avoiding secondary pollution caused by flocculant residue.
[0020] 3. The flocculant of this invention exhibits excellent environmental friendliness and biodegradability. The selected first and second reactant monomers introduce biodegradable amide and ester bonds into the polymer backbone formed after polymerization, allowing for gradual degradation into smaller molecules by microorganisms in the natural environment. Simultaneously, the cis-9-octadecenoic acid on the surface of the modified magnetic microparticles is a natural fatty acid, and the magnetic microparticles themselves are iron(III) oxide, demonstrating good biocompatibility. The entire flocculant system avoids the use of toxic and harmful monomers, conforming to the principles of green chemistry.
[0021] 4. This invention employs an aqueous free radical polymerization system, resulting in a lower reaction temperature, eliminating the need for high pressure or strong acid / alkali conditions, and thus offering low energy consumption and high safety. The redox initiation system effectively initiates the polymerization reaction at lower temperatures, avoiding side reactions and excessively broad molecular weight distributions that may occur with high-temperature polymerization. Each step is simple to operate, and all reagents used are common chemicals, which helps reduce production costs and enable large-scale production.
[0022] 5. The flocculant of this invention is recyclable and reusable, offering excellent economic benefits. Thanks to its superior magnetic response performance, the used flocculant can be efficiently recovered under the influence of a magnetic field. After simple regeneration, it can be reused for flocculation treatment of papermaking wastewater, significantly reducing the cost of flocculant use and demonstrating significant economic and environmental benefits.

[0036] Comparative Example: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that an equal amount of magnetic microparticles are used instead of modified magnetic microparticles in this comparative example.
[0037] Performance testing: The bio-based green flocculant samples prepared in Examples 1-3 and the comparative examples were tested as follows: 1. Flocculation performance test of papermaking wastewater treatment Wastewater source: Combined wastewater from a paper mill; water quality indicators are as follows: Turbidity: 850 NTU Chemical oxygen demand (COD): 1200 mg / L Color intensity: 320 times (dilution ratio method) pH value: 7.2 Test method: Take 500 mL of papermaking wastewater and add the bio-based green flocculant sample to be tested at a dosage of 20 mg / L. Stir rapidly at 200 rpm for 1 min on a six-stage stirrer, then slowly stir at 40 rpm for 10 min. After stirring, apply an external magnetic field (magnetic field strength 0.2 T) to the flocculation system containing magnetic particles for magnetic separation. The separation time is recorded as the time required for the flocs to be completely attracted to the magnetic source side. For the control group without magnetic particles, allow natural sedimentation for 30 min. Then, take the supernatant at 2 cm from the liquid surface and measure the turbidity, COD, and color to calculate the removal rate.
[0038] The turbidity removal rate (%) is calculated as follows: (Initial turbidity - Treated turbidity) / Initial turbidity × 100% COD removal rate / % = (Initial COD - Treated COD) / Initial COD × 100% Color removal rate / % = (Initial color - Processed color) / Initial color × 100% 2. Magnetic separation efficiency test Test method: After the flocculation reaction is completed, place the reaction container above a magnet with a magnetic field strength of 0.2T, let it stand for 5 minutes, take a water sample 1 cm away from the liquid surface, measure the concentration of suspended solids, and calculate the magnetic separation efficiency according to the following formula. Wherein, magnetic separation efficiency / % = (initial suspended solids concentration - suspended solids concentration after separation) / initial suspended solids concentration × 100% 3. Flocculant recovery rate and reuse performance test Test Method: After initial use, the bio-based green flocculant sample was collected under a magnetic field, washed three times with deionized water, and then vacuum-dried to constant weight at 60°C. The recovered flocculant was then reused for flocculation treatment of the same wastewater (dosage 20 mg / L), repeating the flocculation and magnetic separation operations. The recovery rate (recovered mass / dosage mass × 100%) and flocculation performance (turbidity removal rate) were recorded each time until the flocculation performance significantly decreased (turbidity removal rate below 80%).
[0039] 4. Observation of the dispersibility of magnetic particles Test method: The prepared bio-based green flocculant sample was prepared into a 0.1 wt% aqueous solution, dropped onto a copper grid, and after negative staining with phosphotungstic acid, the dispersion state of magnetic particles in the polymer matrix was observed under a transmission electron microscope (TEM, accelerating voltage 120 kV).
