The invention relates to a preparation method of modified nanoscale zero-valent iron and application of the modified nanoscale zero-valent iron to
uranium removal in
uranium mining and
metallurgy wastewater, and belongs to the field of heavy
metal pollution remediation. According to the method, nano zero-valent iron is loaded on an amino modified
silicon-based material, so that the problems that traditional nano zero-valent iron is easy to oxidize and
agglomerate and poor in selectivity are solved. Wherein the modified nano zero-valent iron material comprises nano zero-valent iron and an amino modified
silicon-based carrier. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, soaking a
silicon-based material in absolute ethyl
alcohol, adding a modifier,
grafting to the silicon-based material, stirring, performing ultrasonic treatment, washing and
drying to obtain an amino-modified silicon-based material; s2, preparing a Fe < 3 + > solution, adding the amino-modified silicon-based material, stirring, performing ultrasonic treatment, washing, and performing
freeze drying to obtain a precursor; and S3, soaking the precursor obtained in the step S2 in a
solvent, dropwise adding a
reducing agent in an
inert gas
atmosphere, carrying out stirring reaction, separating particulate matters, washing, and carrying out
vacuum drying to obtain the modified nano zero-valent iron material. The prepared modified nano zero-valent iron material is good in stability, capable of efficiently treating
uranium mining and
metallurgy wastewater, simple in process and low in cost, and has industrial application potential.
