Method for preparing composite modified polyurethane foam microorganism immobilization carrier
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polluted water treatment, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a composite modified polyurethane foam microorganism immobilized carrier.
Background
Microorganisms play an important role in the removal of pollutants, and thus biodegradation is considered to be a relatively efficient, economical and energy-efficient wastewater treatment technique. When sewage is treated by utilizing the microbial technology, microorganisms are generally directly inoculated in the sewage to be treated, and pollutants are removed through physiological activities such as absorption, transformation, metabolism and the like of the microorganisms. But because of environmental factors, easy loss and the like, the treatment effect of the direct adding mode is not very ideal. The microorganism immobilization technology can solve the above problems to some extent.
Compared with physical, chemical and traditional biological methods, the microbial immobilization technology has the advantages of economy, high efficiency, easily controlled reaction, high efficiency and high density of microorganisms and the like, thereby being a waste water treatment technology which is researched more at present. However, the microorganism immobilization carrier can inhibit the biological activity of cells and reduce the mass transfer rate of the system. Therefore, the key to the microbial immobilization technology is the properties of the immobilization support material employed. The ideal immobilized carrier material has the characteristics of no toxicity to microorganisms, good mass transfer performance, stable property, long service life, low price and the like.
The microbial immobilized carrier material adopted at present mainly comprises three types of organic polymer carriers, inorganic carriers and composite carriers. The natural polymer gel carrier is easy to be eroded by various ions in the process of treating wastewater, and can be gradually dissolved, so that the service life is shortened; the synthesized polymer gel carrier generally has higher strength, but has poorer mass transfer performance, and has influence on cell activity when cell fixation is carried out. The inorganic carrier has the defects of high density, limited microbial adsorption, easy shedding and the like. The optimization of the carrier process to facilitate the immobilization of microorganisms is an important direction for the development of microorganism immobilization technology in recent years. According to the performance characteristics of organic materials and inorganic materials, the two materials can be combined to form a composite carrier material, and the performance is complemented so as to improve the performance of the carrier material.

In step S1, 0.05 wt% to 0.50 wt% of the silicon-based mineral material slurry and 0.03 wt% to 0.50 wt% of the organic template aqueous solution are mixed according to the mass ratio of 1:2 to 1:6, and then stirred at 25 ℃ to 80 ℃ for 3h to 8h, filtered, vacuum-dried to constant weight, ground and sieved to obtain the silicon-based mineral modified material. Specifically, firstly, mixing a silicon-based mineral material with water to prepare a silicon-based mineral material slurry with a mass percentage of 0.05 wt% -0.50 wt% (preferably, 0.05 wt% -0.20 wt%), and mixing an organic template with water to prepare an organic template aqueous solution with a mass percentage of 0.03 wt% -0.50 wt% (preferably, 0.03 wt% -0.30 wt%), and mixing the two in proportion; and then stirring the obtained mixture at the temperature of 25-80 ℃ for 3-8 h, cooling to room temperature, performing suction filtration by using a third sand core funnel, performing vacuum drying at the temperature of 85-95 ℃ to constant weight, and grinding and sieving by using a 400-mesh sieve to obtain the silicon-based mineral modified material.
In one embodiment of the inventive concept, since the silicon-based mineral material is structurally such that trivalent aluminum is easily isomorphously replaced by divalent magnesium, each layer surface has a negative charge, and the excess negative charge is passed through the adsorbed cations (e.g., Na) between the layers+、K+、Ca2+Etc.) to be easily exchanged with inorganic or organic cations, both organic or biological cations can be introduced by ion exchange. According to the inventive concept of the present invention, the silicon-based mineral material may include at least one of sepiolite, attapulgite, zeolite, fumed silica, diatomaceous earth, and montmorillonite.
According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, the organic templating agent may include one of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, ethylenediamine, n-butylamine, and pyrrolidine, and particularly, the organic templating agent may include cetyltrimethylammonium bromide or cetyltrimethylammonium chloride.
