This invention discloses a
samarium-modified
biochar catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. The method includes the following steps: Step 1, cleaning,
drying, and
grinding *
Platycladus orientalis* leaves to obtain *
Platycladus orientalis* leaf
powder; Step 2, dissolving Sm(NO3)3·6H2O in deionized water to prepare a
samarium salt solution, adding the *
Platycladus orientalis* leaf
powder to the
samarium salt solution, stirring for 1 h, allowing it to stand and soak for 12 h, and then
drying to obtain a samarium-supported *Platycladus orientalis* leaf
powder precursor; Step 3, placing the samarium-supported *Platycladus orientalis* leaf powder precursor in a
tube furnace, heating it to 500-700℃ at a heating rate of 5℃ / min under a protective gas
atmosphere, pyrolyzing for 3-4 h, naturally cooling to
room temperature, and then washing,
drying,
grinding, and sieving to obtain the samarium-modified
biochar catalyst. The
biochar catalyst prepared by this invention can efficiently and stably activate
persulfate, thereby rapidly degrading
amoxicillin in
wastewater, and can be recycled multiple times. It has the advantages of low
metal leaching rate and wide availability of raw materials.
