The invention discloses a
manganese dioxide-magnetic
biochar composite catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) pyrolyzing
biomass under anaerobic or
oxygen-limited conditions to generate
biochar, washing with water and
alcohol for three times respectively,
drying,
grinding and sieving; 2) uniformly stirring a ferricsalt and a
ferrous salt in an
aqueous solution, then adding the prepared
biochar, and then adding an alkali liquor; under heating, conveying an obtained coprecipitate into ferroferric
oxide, and obtaining magnetic biochar; washing with watert for three times,
drying,
grinding and sieving; 3) adding the magnetic biochar into a
manganese salt solution, and uniformly stirring; then adding a
potassium permanganate solution, uniformly mixing and heating at a high temperature for a period of time. The method is simple in process, low in cost, and is capable of achieving large-scale industrial production. The prepared
manganese dioxide-magnetic biochar composite catalyst is excellent in catalytic performance, can be applied to degradation and removal of various pollutants, is easy to recycle, and is an
efficient catalyst.
