Phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high polymer materials, in particular to a phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The environmental effect caused by the rapid advance of industrialization gradually draws wide attention, and especially, the discharge of industrial wastewater has great influence on the daily life of people, and the characteristics of easy loss and easy diffusion make the treatment of industrial wastewater particularly difficult.
The types of industrial wastewater are many, and the industrial wastewater can be divided into inorganic wastewater (such as electroplating wastewater) and organic wastewater (such as food processing wastewater) according to the chemical properties of main pollutants contained in the industrial wastewater; according to products and processing objects of industrial enterprises, the waste water can be divided into paper-making waste water, textile waste water, tanning waste water, pesticide waste water, metallurgical waste water, oil refining waste water and the like; according to the main components of the pollutants, the pollutants can be divided into acidic wastewater, alkaline wastewater, phenol-containing wastewater, chromium-containing wastewater, radioactive wastewater and the like.
At present, the treatment methods for different waste water are very different, for example, the inorganic waste water is treated mainly by technologies of chemical precipitation and then step-by-step separation, and the organic waste water is treated by a Fenton oxidation method. Aiming at different types of wastewater, the treatment methods are different and have certain limitations, such as higher operation cost, longer treatment time limit, high requirement on wastewater treatment equipment and high maintenance cost in the wastewater treatment process.
Therefore, in order to meet the requirement of green sustainable development, a wastewater treatment method with simple process and low cost needs to be developed. The absorption treatment of the waste water becomes a more common treatment technology at present, and the simple operation process and the low cost investment thereof make the waste water more than two choices of the current waste water treatment technology. The adsorption treatment by activated carbon is common, but the activated carbon is a solid hazardous waste due to toxic and harmful substances contained in the wastewater after the adsorption treatment, so that the possibility of regeneration and use of the activated carbon is low, and the activated carbon is an irrecoverable method to some extent. Therefore, the development of new green and renewable wastewater adsorbing materials is also an urgent need.
Vinylphosphonic acid polymers, because of their hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, are useful as mediators of cell adhesion and proliferation, as described in CN110693724B, which describes the use of polyvinylphosphonic acid in a dental mineralization fluid. In addition, the vinylphosphonic acid polymer has great development prospect in proton exchange membrane fuel cells due to the excellent proton conductivity of the vinylphosphonic acid polymer. For example, patent No. CN103346341A describes the use of polyvinylphosphonic acid to prepare an acid-base composite high-temperature proton exchange membrane. Polyvinyl phosphonic acid polymers are described in patent publication No. CN100350664C as being particularly suitable for use in PEM fuel cells as polymer electrolyte membranes. Patent publication No. CN100448086C describes the use of graft polymers based on vinylphosphonic acid for fuel cell separators. In addition, patent No. CN101770187A describes that polyvinylphosphonic acid can be used as a plate finishing agent for lithography, and patent No. CN102186892A describes that polyvinylphosphonic acid can be used for exploration and production of oil and gas. Although there are many reports on the application of polyvinylphosphonic acid, vinylphosphonic acid copolymers and their application in the field of water treatment have been reported.

Adopt above-mentioned technical scheme to have following beneficial effect:
1. the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel prepared by the invention contains a large amount of-COOH, -NH2And functional groups such as-OH and the like form chemical adsorption with metal ions or organic molecules through chelation, and the high moisture retention and high water absorption of the functional groups are also beneficial to improving the capability of the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel for adsorbing heavy metal ions and organic pollutants. The excellent solubility of ethanol and the generation of free H when ethanol is used to treat the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel adsorbed with organic pollutants during desorption+Can carry out ion exchange with organic pollutants adsorbed on the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel, thereby further promoting the desorption reaction and realizing the regeneration and the use of the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel; when the disodium EDTA is used for treating the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel adsorbed with the metal ions, the disodium EDTA is a typical chelating agent and has stronger coordination capacity with the metal ions, so that the disodium EDTA can be easily replaced with the heavy metal ions on the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel, and the regeneration and the use of the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel are realized.

According to the preparation method of the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel, the phosphonic acid olefin compound and other acrylate compounds or acrylamide compounds or vinyl azole compounds are added and can be directly mixed for polymerization reaction, and sodium hydroxide is not needed for neutralizing acidic monomers to adjust the pH value. The polymerization can be carried out in a stepwise manner by the stepwise addition of the initiator.
3. The preparation method of the phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel controls the temperature of the monomer solution to be 60-80 ℃, and adds the initiator solution in a dropwise manner. Under the temperature condition, the initiator can be stably and gradually decomposed to generate active free radicals, and if the temperature is too low, the activity of the initiator is reduced, and the rate of initiating polymerization reaction is slowed down; if the temperature is too high, the activity of the initiator is increased, and the polymerization rate is easily increased during the initiation of polymerization reaction, thereby causing implosion. The initiator solution is dripped into the polymerization system in a dripping mode, so that the stable cracking of initiator molecules can be further ensured, the stable proceeding of polymerization reaction is ensured, the phenomena of implosion and agglomeration in the polymerization process are avoided, and the uniformity of a polymer network structure can also be ensured.
4. The phosphorus-containing polymer hydrogel needs to adjust the temperature of the wastewater to 20-30 ℃ (room temperature) and the pH to 4-8 in the process of treating the wastewater. The temperature of the treated wastewater is adjusted to be 20-30 ℃, namely the cost burden caused by temperature rise or temperature reduction in the wastewater treatment process is favorably reduced under the normal temperature condition, the adsorption activity of the polymer hydrogel is best at the normal temperature, if the temperature is too low, the pollutant adsorption rate is slowed down, and if the temperature is too high, partial analysis of adsorbed pollutant molecules is caused, so that the effective adsorption rate of the polymer hydrogel is reduced. Under neutral or off-neutral conditions, the cost input and further environmental pollution caused by pH adjustment can also be reduced. More importantly, in a strong acid environment, excessive H is contained in the solution+Protonating the functional groups such as carboxyl, amino and the like in the polymer hydrogel, thereby weakening the electrostatic attraction and the chelating capacity between the functional groups and metal ions or pollutant molecules, and excessive H+Hydronium ions can be formed, and competitive adsorption can be easily formed between the hydronium ions and pollutant molecules in the adsorption process, so that the adsorption effect of the polymer hydrogel is reduced; in strong alkaline environment, metal ions are easy to be in contact with OH in solution—Hydrolysis occursIn use, hydroxide is formed, thereby reducing the effective adsorption of metal ions by the polymer hydrogel.
