Kaolin composite adsorption material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a water treatment agent and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a kaolin composite adsorption material for adsorbing PPCPs pollutants and a preparation method thereof.
Background
PPCPs are short for drugs and personal protective products, and are widely applied to human beings, livestock and fishes. The chemical components that make up PCCPs are about 3000 or more, and mainly include two major groups: one class is drugs, including antibiotics, analgesics, hormones, diuretics, analgesics, steroids, caffeine, etc.; another class is personal protection products including perfumes, hair sprays, cosmetics, and the like. Different types of PPCPs remained in the global environment at present mainly take antibiotics and pyrolytic analgesic drugs as the main components, and most of the PPCPs have low volatility or are not easy to degrade, so most of the PPCPs remain in the water environment and have large detection amount, and the PPCPs already pose threats to the health and ecological environment of human beings. China is the biggest active drug producing country in the world and is also the consuming country of the top 3 active drugs in the world. According to statistics, Chinese recovered 0.69 x 10 in 2007 year8m3The waste water is re-filled into the underground water,this is especially the case in northern regions where water is in short supply, however, large numbers of PPCPs are detected in these recovered waters.
The current PCCPs treatment technology mainly comprises a migration method, an adsorption method, a degradation method and the like. Wherein, the migration method mainly refers to the migration, filtration and solidification effects of natural environment and natural soil on PPCPs. However, the migration method has problems of limited migration and filtration effects through natural environments, low soil solidification efficiency, and the like. The degradation method mainly refers to advanced oxidation (H)2O2UV), adopts a material with stronger oxidation activity, and realizes the gradual decomposition and even complete degradation of the PPCPs under the high-energy radiation or excitation. The adoption of the advanced oxidation method for degrading PPCPs has important significance on the cyclic development of the ecological environment, however, the current research process is complex, and compared with the traditional solid phase adsorption method, the method has the characteristics of high energy consumption, high cost and the like, and the complete degradation of the PPCPs is difficult to realize, so that the application of the method is limited.
The adsorption method mainly means that natural clay minerals and some artificially synthesized functional adsorption materials are adopted to perform adsorption and solidification on PPCPs, and also can perform functional modification on some clay minerals with stronger adsorption performance so as to realize the effect of efficient solidification. Compared with a migration method, the solid-phase adsorption method has the advantage of high-efficiency solidification due to the adoption of a special adsorption structure and a functional adsorption group. In addition, advanced oxidative degradation technology is immature in research and development, high in cost and poor in applicability, solidification is an important premise for realizing complete degradation, and the solid phase adsorption method is still the most common PPCPs pollution treatment method at present. However, in various clay minerals, the treatment of PPCPs wastewater by kaolin still needs to be improved.
