Method for removing hexavalent chromium from water bodies by sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron
The present invention relates to a method for removing hexavalent chromium from water bodies by sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron. The method comprising the steps: soaking zero-valent iron in a sodium oxalate solution for a period of time; and washing and drying to obtain the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron; and then treating water bodies with the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron to remove the heavy metal pollutant hexavalent chromium from the water bodies. Compared with other chemical or physical methods for treating the zero-valent iron, the processing technology of the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron is simple and easy to implement, and also has advantages of high efficiency, no pollution and environmental friendliness.
1. A method for removing hexavalent chromium from water bodies by sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron, comprising the steps of: soaking zero-valent iron in a sodium oxalate solution for a period of time; and washing and drying to obtain the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron; and then treating water bodies with the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron to remove the heavy metal pollutant hexavalent chromium from the water bodies.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sodium oxalate solution has a concentration of between 0.05 and 0.25 mol/L.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sodium oxalate solution has a concentration of between 0.1 and 0.2 mol/L.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the soaking time is between 0.5 and 2.0 h.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the soaking time is 1-2 h.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the zero-valent iron is micron-sized zero-valent iron.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the drying is vacuum drying, drying under an inert atmosphere or freeze drying.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hexavalent chromium in the hexavalent chromium polluted water bodies has a concentration of between 0.1 and 100 mg/L.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the use amount of the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron is 1 g/L-10 g/L.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein shaker shaking or mechanical stirring is performed during treating the water bodies with the sodium oxalate-modified zero-valent iron to remove the heavy metal pollutant hexavalent chromium from the water bodies.
