The invention relates to the technical field of
wastewater treatment, in particular to a
quartz sand-based PMS catalyst and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that pretreated
quartz sand is put into an alkaline solution of
dopamine hydrochloride, stirring reaction is conducted for 10-16 h at the
room temperature, the
quartz sand is separated, washing and
drying are conducted with water and ethyl
alcohol respectively, and quartz sand wrapped with a polydopamine layer is obtained; dissolving
divalent manganese salt and
cobalt salt in water to obtain a first solution, and dissolving 2-methylimidazole in water to obtain a second solution; and immersing the quartz sand wrapped by the polydopamine layer into a
mixed solution of the first solution and the second solution, carrying out stirring reaction at
room temperature, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, washing a
solid phase with water and
ethanol respectively, and
drying to obtain the quartz sand-based PMS catalyst. The catalyst disclosed by the invention has good separation,
recovery and reutilization characteristics, and the
catalytic efficiency is promoted by utilizing polydopamine, so that the degradation speed of PMS on organic matters in
wastewater is greatly improved.
