The invention discloses a method for preparing multi-component organically-modified
bentonite-embedded nanoscale zero-valent iron. The method comprises the following steps that (1)
bentonite is preprocessed; (2) 20-50 g / L of
bentonite particles are added to 0.1 M of a FeCl3 solution, the bentonite particles and the solution are fully mixed and centrifuged, supernatant liquor is removed, and the process is repeated twice, so that Fe3+ saturated bentonite particles are obtained; (3) the Fe3+ saturated bentonite particles are added to deionized water, the pH is regulated to range from 2 to 3.5, NaBH4 is added to the mixture according to the
molar ratio, 25-35:1, of the NaBH4 to Fe3+ under the protection of
inert gas, the mixture reacts for 1-3 min at
room temperature, and then bentonite-embedded zero-valent iron is obtained through high-speed
centrifugation; (4) three organic cation modifying agents, namely HDTMA, TPMA and TMA are added to the deionized water mixed with the bentonite-embedded zero-valent iron, a replacement reaction is conducted for 15-30 min in an
oxygen-free environment, and then the multi-component organically-modified bentonite-embedded nanoscale zero-valent iron is obtained through high-speed
centrifugation. By means of the method, the clustering phenomenon of nanoscale iron in a complex heavy nonaqueous-phase environment can be relieved, and the surface hydrophobic performance is improved; through organic modification of the three components, adsorption of the bentonite and the reducing action of iron, the
environmental behavior and the form of the nanoscale iron are improved, and the degradation efficiency of the nanoscale iron is improved finally.
