Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of phenol removal of high-concentration phenol-containing wastewater, and particularly relates to molecularly imprinted composite hydrogel and application of the composite hydrogel in removing phenolic substances from the high-concentration phenol-containing wastewater.
Background
The phenol organic matters are main components of organic pollutants difficult to degrade in the semi-coke wastewater, have toxicity, bioaccumulation and semi-volatility, are harmful to the environment and human health, and inhibit biological activity, and are a difficulty in water pollution control. The principle of the adsorption method is that the adsorption of the adsorbent is utilized to adsorb organic pollutants in the wastewater on the surfaces of the pore channels of the adsorbent, and the adsorption method has the advantages of stable effect, simple process and no secondary pollution, but has the defects of small pore diameter of the adsorbent, easy occurrence of blockage phenomenon, high regeneration cost and the like; the membrane separation method mainly comprises a liquid membrane separation technology and a nanofiltration technology, has the advantages of no chemical reaction, no phase change, high separation efficiency, small volume, convenient operation, low energy consumption and the like, but also has the defects of difficult liquid membrane forming, complex process flow and difficult liquid membrane maintenance for a long time; the extraction method has the advantages that two phases are mutually soluble to a certain degree in the extraction process, so that the loss of an extractant and secondary pollution are easily caused; the biochemical treatment method is only suitable for low-concentration phenol-containing wastewater, but not for high-concentration phenol-containing wastewater, and valuable phenolic substances cannot be recovered. Therefore, the search for an adsorption material with the advantages of high treatment efficiency, low cost, low energy consumption and the like is the key of the efficiency and the environmental protection property for removing the phenolic substances in the high-concentration phenol-containing wastewater by an adsorption method.

In the application of the molecularly imprinted chitosan/titanium dioxide composite hydrogel in removing phenolic substances in high-concentration phenol-containing wastewater, the composite hydrogel after adsorbing the phenolic substances is preferably placed in a disodium hydrogen phosphate aqueous solution with the mass concentration of 2% -5%, the phenolic substances in the molecularly imprinted layer are eluted by a constant potential method, and then distilled water is added for washing and reusing.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
according to the invention, the molecularly imprinted chitosan/titanium dioxide composite hydrogel is prepared by a hydrothermal method, an assembly can be formed by the action of an amino group in chitosan and-OH on phenol in wastewater through a hydrogen bond, phenol is embedded into chitosan through the interaction of the hydrogen bond in the polymerization process and is attached to the surface of titanium dioxide nanoparticles to form molecularly imprinted nano microspheres, then template molecular phenol in the molecularly imprinted microspheres is eluted by a solvent, and the shape and size of a remained cavity are matched with that of a target molecular phenol, so that phenol substances are selectively removed in a targeted manner in the subsequent wastewater treatment, other impurities are rejected from entering the hydrogel, and the pore channel blockage of the hydrogel can be avoided. The adsorption and desorption tests are repeated for 7 times by using the adsorbing material, and the adsorption capacity of the adsorbing material on the phenolic substances is still 90 percent. The composite hydrogel has abundant chemical functional groups and hole structures, so that the adsorption performance, the mechanical property and the utilization rate of the traditional gel can be obviously improved, and the repeated use performance of the hydrogel can be effectively ensured. Therefore, the adsorbability and the regenerability of the molecularly imprinted chitosan/titanium dioxide composite hydrogel can meet the environmental protection requirement and the economic requirement of industrially removing phenolic substances in wastewater.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further described in detail with reference to the following figures and examples, but the scope of the invention is not limited to these examples.
Example 1
Adding 0.48g (3mmol) of chitosan and 0.066g (0.7mmol) of phenol into 12mL of isopropanol, and uniformly mixing and stirring to obtain a chitosan-phenol solution; adding 0.2g of titanium dioxide, 0.2g of ferric trichloride and 28.32g of hydrochloric acid with the mass concentration of 10% into 30g of deionized water, and uniformly mixing and stirring to obtain a titanium dioxide dispersion liquid; then the obtained chitosan-phenol solution and the titanium dioxide dispersion liquid are stirred and mixed evenly, 10mL of deionized water solution containing 0.035g of ascorbic acid is added, and the mixture is stirred and reacted for 6 hours in a constant temperature water bath at 60 ℃. Washing the product obtained by the reaction with distilled water, soaking the product in deionized water for 3 days, changing water every day to remove the unreacted gel part, then placing the hydrogel in a disodium hydrogen phosphate aqueous solution with the mass concentration of 2.7%, eluting the template molecule phenol in the molecular imprinting layer by using a potentiostatic method (working voltage of 1.5V), adding distilled water again for washing, and finally obtaining the molecularly imprinted chitosan/titanium dioxide composite hydrogel.
As can be seen from FIG. 1, the prepared composite hydrogel has uneven surface and numerous protrusions and ravines, and cylindrical protrusions with the diameter ranging from 30 nm to 50nm are distributed on the surface of the hydrogel, so that the specific surface area of the hydrogel is increased, and the hydrogel can adsorb phenol. The free nanoparticles present alone are not seen in the figure, indicating that the synthesized hydrogel has good stability. The hydrogel after adsorbing phenol has a more obvious difference from the hydrogel before adsorbing. The surface of the hydrogel after adsorbing the phenol becomes relatively smooth and has no obvious unevenness any more, because the hydrogel has better phenol adsorption capacity, so that the surface of the hydrogel becomes smooth.
Example 2
Application of molecularly imprinted chitosan/titanium dioxide composite hydrogel prepared in example 1 in treatment of high-concentration phenol-containing wastewater
1. Effect of temperature on phenol removal
6 parts of 100mL phenol standard solution (the content of phenol is 0.4g/L) is taken, 1.6g of composite hydrogel is added, the concentration of phenol is tested after adsorption for 2h at constant temperature of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 ℃, the removal rate of phenol is calculated, and the result is shown in figure 2. As can be seen from fig. 2: the suitable temperature for adsorbing phenol by the composite hydrogel is 30-35 ℃, and the removal rate of resorcinol at 35 ℃ is 95%. When the temperature is lower than 30 ℃, the removal rate of phenol is obviously reduced, and when the temperature is higher than 35 ℃, the removal rate is basically unchanged. This is because the number of active groups on the surface of the composite hydrogel is temperature dependent, and increasing the temperature increases the number of active groups on the surface, thereby increasing the adsorption effect. But when reaching a certain temperature, the surface active groups are saturated, and the adsorption reaches dynamic balance.
2. Effect of adsorption time on phenol removal
6 parts of 100mL phenol standard solution (the content of phenol is 0.4g/L) is taken, 1.6g of composite hydrogel is added, the phenol concentration is tested after 1.2, 1.7, 2.2, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.7h of constant temperature adsorption at 30 ℃, the phenol removal rate is calculated, and the result is shown in figure 3. As can be seen from fig. 3: the ideal adsorption time of the composite hydrogel for adsorbing phenol is 2.2-2.7 h, and the removal rate of resorcinol after 2.2h adsorption reaches 92%. After the adsorption time is longer than 2.7h, phenol is resolved, and the removal rate is reduced.
3. Influence of input amount of composite hydrogel on phenol removal rate
6 parts of 100mL phenol standard solution (the content of phenol is 0.4g/L) are respectively added with 0.3, 0.7, 1.1, 1.5, 1.8 and 2.1g of composite hydrogel, the mixture is adsorbed at the constant temperature of 30 ℃ for 2.7h, then the phenol concentration is tested by adopting a spectrophotometry method, and the phenol removal rate is calculated, and the result is shown in figure 4. As can be seen from fig. 4: when the amount of the composite hydrogel charged was 1.5, 1.8 and 2.1g, the removal rates of phenol were 93.3%, 93.4% and 93.5%, respectively. The input amount of the composite hydrogel is too low, the phenol removal effect is poor, and the phenol removal rate is improved along with the increase of the input amount of the composite hydrogel; however, when the amount of the phenol is increased to a certain amount, the adsorption tends to be balanced, and the phenol removal rate is not changed much by increasing the input amount. The test result shows that: the best molecular engrafted chitosan/titanium dioxide composite hydrogel input amount is 1.5g for 100mL of phenol standard solution.
4. Influence of composite hydrogel recycling times on phenol adsorption capacity
Taking 100mL of phenol standard solution (the content of phenol is 0.4g/L), adding 1.5g of composite hydrogel, adsorbing at 30 ℃ for 2.7h at constant temperature, airing the hydrogel adsorbing high-concentration phenol-containing wastewater at room temperature, placing the composite hydrogel in a disodium hydrogen phosphate aqueous solution with the mass concentration of 2.7%, and eluting phenol in a molecular imprinting layer by a potentiostatic method. The adsorption and desorption tests were repeated 7 times on the obtained composite hydrogel, and the adsorption amount of the composite hydrogel to phenol was measured, and the results are shown in fig. 5. As can be seen from fig. 5, the composite hydrogel had a small decrease in the amount of phenol adsorbed after being reused 7 times, and thus was recyclable. This is because the large amount of charged charges on the polymer chains can generate repulsive forces to the adsorbed species, thereby desorbing the phenol. Therefore, the composite hydrogel has good adsorption and desorption functions and can be repeatedly used.
