Description

A desulfurization wastewater heavy metal ion adsorbent and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power plant wastewater treatment, in particular to a desulfurization wastewater heavy metal ion adsorbent and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Coal-fired power plants inevitably generate various types of wastewater during power generation. For example, desulfurization wastewater often contains heavy metal ion pollutants such as lead, chromium, cadmium, copper, zinc, manganese, and mercury. Currently, national environmental protection standards for coal-fired power plant wastewater discharge are becoming increasingly stringent. Meeting these standards requires significant energy and material resources to maintain equipment operation, impacting the economic profitability of the power plants themselves. Therefore, the cost-effective treatment of power plant wastewater is of great significance.

[0003] Current methods for treating heavy metal-contaminated water include physical enrichment and precipitation, ion exchange, electrochemical methods, adsorption, and bioremediation. Adsorption, which utilizes porous adsorbents to absorb one or more pollutants from wastewater, recovers or removes them, thereby purifying the wastewater. Adsorption has attracted significant attention due to its ease of operation, recyclability, and minimal pollution. However, adsorption methods are generally subject to issues such as high operating costs, slow adsorption rates, and limited effectiveness.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a desulfurization wastewater heavy metal ion adsorbent and its preparation method and application. The desulfurization wastewater heavy metal ion adsorbent has a fast adsorption speed, can quickly separate heavy metal ion pollutants from water, and has a high adsorption rate for heavy metal ions.

[0007] The present invention provides a method for preparing a heavy metal ion adsorbent for desulfurization wastewater, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1: mixing gluconic acid, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and aminoglycoside antibiotics to prepare a mixed solution;

[0009] S2: adding β-cyclodextrin to the mixed solution and stirring until it becomes viscous to obtain a mixed viscous substance;

[0010] S3: heating, baking, washing and drying the mixed viscous material to obtain a desulfurization wastewater heavy metal ion adsorbent.

[0011] Specifically, in step S1, the mass content of gluconic acid in the mixed solution is 2-50%, preferably 20-40%; the mass content of sodium dihydrogen phosphate in the mixed solution is 1-5%, preferably 1-3%; the mass content of aminoglycoside antibiotics in the mixed solution is 1-20%, preferably 10-15%; that is, the mass ratio of gluconic acid, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, and aminoglycoside antibiotics is (2-50): (1-5): (1-20), preferably (20-40): (1-3): (10-15). In addition, the mixture is mixed under stirring at a speed of 150-250 r / min and a stirring time of 5-15 minutes.

[0012] In step S2, the mass ratio of gluconic acid to β-cyclodextrin is (2-50):(120-180), preferably (20-40):(120-150).

[0013] In step S3, the heating temperature is 70-90°C and the heating time is 5-7h. The heating process promotes the esterification reaction between the hydroxyl group of β-cyclodextrin and the carboxyl group of gluconic acid; the baking temperature is 170-190°C and the baking time is 8-12min. The baking process ensures that the amidation reaction between the ester group and the amino group proceeds smoothly; washing can be done with deionized water; the drying temperature can be 30-50°C and the drying time is 10-15h.

[0014] Gluconic acid, derived from the oxidation of glucose, is a cheap, readily available, renewable resource rich in carboxyl groups that can chelate metal ions. Gentamicin, a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by microorganisms, exhibits excellent thermal stability and is a renewable resource rich in amino groups that can coordinate and chelate metal ions. β-cyclodextrin, rich in hydroxyl groups, has excellent adsorption and encapsulation properties for many organic molecules and inorganic heavy metals. It is a safe, non-toxic, biodegradable, and highly reusable raw material.

[0015] The materials used in the present invention are all natural biological products, which are low-priced and renewable, and can adsorb major pollutants in water bodies. In particular, the above-mentioned preparation method connects hydroxyl and carboxyl groups through an esterification reaction, and then connects amino groups through an amidation reaction, forming a three-functional group linkage to promote the adsorption of heavy metal ions. The adsorption speed is fast, and heavy metal ion pollutants can be quickly separated from water bodies. It is suitable for high and low concentration heavy metal ion wastewater.

[0016] The present invention also provides a desulfurization wastewater heavy metal ion adsorbent, which is prepared according to the above preparation method.

[0017] The present invention also provides the use of the above-mentioned desulfurization wastewater heavy metal ion adsorbent in removing heavy metals in desulfurization wastewater.

[0018] Specifically, the dosage of heavy metal ion adsorbent for desulfurization wastewater is 1-3 g / L. In addition, the adsorbent that adsorbs heavy metal ions and other pollutants can be desorbed and regenerated using dilute acid (e.g., 0.01-0.1 mol / L dilute sulfuric acid), or directly calcined at above 300°C to recover heavy metal ions.

[0019] The present invention uses gluconic acid, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, aminoglycoside antibiotics, and beta-cyclodextrin as raw materials. The main functional materials are all natural renewable products, easily biodegradable, environmentally friendly and easy to handle. The main functional groups are hydroxyl, carboxyl and amino groups. The hydroxyl and carboxyl groups are connected by esterification reaction, and then the amino groups are connected by amidation reaction, forming a three-functional group linkage to promote the adsorption of heavy metal ions. The adsorption speed is fast, and heavy metal ion pollutants can be quickly separated from the water body. It is suitable for various types of acidic and alkaline pH value wastewater, and realizes broad-spectrum adsorption to remove various heavy metal ions in desulfurization wastewater. The whole process is green and environmentally friendly, and there is no secondary pollution in adsorbent adsorption and post-treatment. The purification mode cost is extremely low and the application is not limited by scenarios. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
