AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing photocatalytic Fenton catalysts exhibit low mineralization rates of organic pollutants under low-intensity light conditions and suffer from decreased catalyst stability due to free radical attack.

Method used

By combining a photocatalyst with a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst using a specific structure, a photocatalytic self-Fenton catalytic system is formed. Through the in-situ activation of oxygen-centered organic free radicals (OCORs) fixed on the surface of the photocatalyst with hydrogen peroxide, a highly oxidizing hydroxyl radical is generated, which improves the mineralization rate of organic pollutants and maintains the stability of the catalyst under low light intensity.

Benefits of technology

It improves the mineralization rate of organic pollutants under low light intensity, achieves a photon utilization rate of 32% at 470nm, and maintains high efficiency and stability after 10 cycles of use, adapting to the efficient degradation of organic pollutants under complex environmental conditions.

Abstract

This invention discloses a method for mineralizing organic pollutants in surface water. The method involves mixing a photocatalyst, a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst, and organic pollutants, followed by illumination to achieve mineralization. The chemical structure of the photocatalyst is shown in Formula I, where n ≥ 1. This invention combines a photocatalyst with a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst to form a photocatalytic self-Fenton catalytic system. Selective degradation of pollutants and generation of hydrogen peroxide are achieved through oxygen-centered organic free radicals (OCORs) fixed on the surface of the photocatalyst. Under the action of the heterogeneous Fenton catalyst, hydrogen peroxide is activated in situ into highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals, thereby enabling interaction between different active species and effectively improving the mineralization rate of organic pollutants.
