This invention discloses a method for removing
white phosphorus from soil. First, contaminated soil is mixed evenly with water, stirred, and then
nitric acid solution is added. After stirring, a
phosphorus removal agent is added, and stirring continues. The mixture is then filtered, freeze-dried, and the
phosphorus removal agent is removed using a magnetic
sieve to obtain treated soil. The
phosphorus removal agent contains nano-
ferric oxide, allowing it to separate from the soil via magnetic attraction after treating the
white phosphorus, reducing the difficulty of separation and enabling reuse. The soil is treated with
nitric acid, causing the
white phosphorus to react with the
nitric acid to produce
phosphate ions. The addition of the phosphorus removal agent releases
lanthanum carbonate from the surface.
Lanthanum has strong Lewis acidity and can form strong ligands with
phosphate, which has Lewis basicity, to adsorb
phosphate ions from the soil, thus forming a complex. Simultaneously, the
free amino groups on the
chitosan surface can adsorb metals, further completing the adsorption of the complex.
