The invention discloses a preparation method of a composite
heterojunction photocatalyst and an application thereof, and belongs to the field of
resource utilization and environment purification. Thecomposite
heterojunction photocatalyst comprises 5-30 parts of high-iron
red mud and 5-30 parts of a
reducing agent. The preparation method comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing the high-iron
red mud and the
reducing agent, and molding under the pressure of 0.5-3MPa; calcining the obtained mixture at the temperature of 200 to 400 DEG C; and finally, taking out the mixture,
grinding and sieving to obtain the photocatalyst. According to the method, Fe2O3 in the high-iron
red mud is partially converted into magnetic Fe3O4 in a
biomass pyrolysis mode, so that the catalyst has
magnetism and is convenient to recycle; in the calcining process,
silicon-aluminum minerals of the high-iron red mud are combined with Fe2O3 and TiO2, so that Fe2O3 and TiO2 generate heterojunctions; the
pyrolysis product carbon is combined with catalyst particles, so that the adsorption and
conductivity of the catalyst are improved; the degradation efficiency of the catalyst is favorably improved; accordingto the method, the low-molecular pollutants which are not thoroughly degraded can be adsorbed to the surface of the catalyst to be degraded again, secondary
pollution is prevented, the whole
degradation process is easy to operate, and the self-cleaning purpose is effectively achieved. The adopted raw materials are easily available and economically feasible.
