Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and particularly relates to a chromium adsorbent and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Chromium occurs in nature in mainly trivalent and hexavalent forms. Among them, Cr (VI) has high oxidizing property and carcinogenicity, its compound can not be naturally degraded, and can be accumulated in the organism, and its toxicity is 100 times that of Cr (III). The migration and transformation modes of chromium in the water body mainly comprise hydrolysis, adsorption, precipitation, oxidation reduction and complexation. There are many methods for removing Cr (VI), including adsorption, chemical precipitation, ion exchange, biological methods, etc.
The adsorption method mainly utilizes insoluble solid materials with high specific surface area as an adsorbent, and utilizes the mechanisms of chemical adsorption, physical adsorption and the like to adsorb heavy metals in water on the surface of the adsorbent so as to achieve the aim of removing the heavy metals. The adsorption method is simple to operate, has little pollution, and most of the adsorbent can be reused. The adsorbents commonly used are mainly: activated carbon, sepiolite, alumina, some biological adsorbents and the like, but the concentration requirement of the activated carbon on Cr (VI) is usually more than 10mg/L, and the adsorption effect on low-concentration chromium is poor.
The inside structure of the ceramsite material is characterized by fine honeycomb micropores which are closed but not communicated. The ceramsite is formed by wrapping gas into the shell, so that the ceramsite has the characteristic of light weight. In addition, the ceramsite has huge specific surface area and good chemical and thermal stability. However, the production process of the ceramsite material is rough, and the pore channels contain a large amount of impurities, so that the combination of heavy metal ions and the ceramsite material is limited. In recent years, the research on ceramsite materials has attracted general attention, but the research on the application of ceramsite to adsorb heavy metal Cr is less.

(1) crushing ceramsite to 40-120 meshes, adding methanol, performing ultrasonic treatment for 5-15 min, standing, performing vacuum filtration, and drying at 60-120 ℃ for 2-3 h;
(2) adding an eluent with the concentration of 0.5-2 mol/L into the dried sample, carrying out ultrasonic treatment for 5-15 min, carrying out vacuum filtration after elution, and drying for 2-3h at the temperature of 60-120 ℃;
(3) and (3) placing the ceramsite treated in the step (2) into a muffle furnace, roasting for 2-3h at 400-600 ℃, taking out, and grinding to 40-120 meshes to obtain the modified ceramsite.
In the preparation method, the ceramsite in the step (1) is more than one of fly ash ceramsite, clay ceramsite, biological sludge ceramsite and garbage ceramsite.
In the preparation method, in the step (1), the mass-to-volume ratio of the ceramsite to the methanol is 1-5 g:10 mL.
In the preparation method, the eluent in the step (2) is HCl and HNO3Or H2SO4。
In the preparation method, the eluent in the step (2) is NaOH or Ca (OH)2Or Ba (OH)2。
In the preparation method, the mass-volume ratio of the ceramsite in the step (2) to the eluent is 1-5 g:5 mL.
An application of the chromium adsorbent in removing low-concentration Cr in wastewater.
Further, the concentration of Cr in the wastewater is 0.1-1 mg/L.
Further, Cr in the wastewater is hexavalent.
