Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectrocatalytic anode preparation, relates to treating antibiotic wastewater, and specifically relates to a method for treating antibiotic wastewater by utilizing a metal organic framework derivative-semiconductor hybrid photoelectrode. Background Art
[0002] Emerging contaminants, antibiotics, have attracted widespread attention for their potential negative impacts on human health and the risk of generating resistance genes in ecosystems. The low concentrations and high toxicity of antibiotics hinder their effective removal through traditional wastewater purification methods, such as coagulation, sedimentation, chlorination, disinfection, biodegradation, physical adsorption, and chemical oxidation. Furthermore, the accumulation of antibiotics often leads to ineffective degradation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop advanced and innovative strategies for the effective and rapid degradation of antibiotics in water.
[0003] The new photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) technology has been widely regarded as a green and efficient alternative to electrochemical assisted photocatalytic systems. In this technology, by applying a certain anode bias, photogenerated electrons move through the circuit to the counter electrode, resulting in a potential gradient inside the electrode, which effectively promotes the reaction between photogenerated electrons and holes (e - and h + ) separation. However, there are few reports on the practical application of photoelectrocatalysis technology. The key is that the electrode must meet the following conditions: (1) participate in the reaction in a non-powdered state to avoid difficulties in catalyst recovery; (2) excite the photosensitivity and optical response range of the electrode; (3) the catalyst must be stably bonded to the conductive substrate and the active component yield must be high.
[0004] For traditional photoelectrocatalytic electrodes, powdered materials are typically coated onto a conductive substrate. However, the coated powdered material is not firmly bonded to the substrate and easily falls off. Furthermore, coating the electrode reduces the mass transfer rate between the material and the conductive substrate. Therefore, it is necessary to find a substrate with a unique structure that effectively bonds with the catalytic material. In recent years, studies have shown that nanostructures can be grown in situ on three-dimensional substrates without affecting the catalytic performance of the photosensitizer while maintaining its stability and conductivity. As a semiconducting metal oxide, TiO2 is easily synthesized into shape-tunable TiO2-NTs. TiO2-NTs prepared by anodization can precisely control their structural parameters (pore size, wall thickness, and length) by adjusting the oxidation conditions. The ordered and tightly packed nanotubes provide a solid support structure to allow for the loading of specific electroactive materials and reduce light reflection losses caused by multiple radiation scatterers. However, due to the large band gap of TiO2, which results in low visible light utilization, it is not an ideal electrode substrate.
[0005] MOFs are a class of crystalline porous materials with periodic network structures formed by self-assembly of inorganic metal centers and organic ligands. Due to their porosity, large surface area, multiple metal sites, and semiconductor-like properties, MOFs exhibit excellent photosensitivity and visible light sensing performance. Currently, MOFs are rarely used in photoelectrocatalytic systems. Most MOF materials have poor photocatalytic activity and complex synthesis processes, and existing research is still limited to constructing photoanodes by coating powdered catalysts on conductive glass. Furthermore, research on in situ growth of MOFs onto substrates is limited, and existing MOF composite materials are primarily in powder form, making them difficult to recycle and prone to secondary pollution. These issues significantly limit their widespread application in the environment. Therefore, addressing the challenges and shortcomings of MOFs to develop a photoelectrocatalytic anode that is simple to synthesize, easy to operate, and exhibits excellent performance is crucial for the treatment of antibiotics in wastewater.

The reaction was carried out under visible light at a voltage of 2.0 V.
[0043] In this example, the photoelectrode ZrO2 / Ti is a hybrid semiconductor of a metal organic framework derivative. 3+ -TiO2 uses anatase TiO2-NTs as a conductive substrate, and the TiO2-NTs are loaded with a metal organic framework derivative ZrO2. After high-temperature carving and reduction by argon gas, ZrO2 and Ti 3+ -TiO2 is tightly combined to form an S-type heterojunction.

[0046] (2) The electrode in step (1) was used as the anode and graphite was used as the counter electrode. Electrochemical anodic oxidation was performed in a mixed solution of 0.5 wt% sodium fluoride and 0.5 mol / L sodium sulfate (130 mL) at a constant voltage of 20 V for 5 h.
[0047] (3) The electrode in step (2) was placed in a crucible, and the temperature was raised to 450°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min and maintained for 3 h to obtain a conductive substrate containing anatase TiO2-NTs.
[0048] (4) Prepare 0.1 mol / L sodium sulfate solution, 1.0 mol / L ammonium sulfate solution, and 32 mmol / L zirconium chloride solution, use the electrode in step (3) as the working electrode, the platinum electrode as the counter electrode, and the Ag / AgCl electrode as the reference electrode, electrochemically reduce the solution at -1.3 V for 20 min, electrochemically reduce the solution at -1.5 V for 3 s in ammonium sulfate solution, and pulse electrodeposit the solution at 45°C for 5 min in zirconium chloride solution.
[0049] (5) Prepare a hydrothermal solution by mixing 0.6 g of 2-aminoterephthalic acid, 50 ml of NN-dimethylformamide, 0.27 mL of nitric acid, and 0.35 mL of hydrofluoric acid. Immerse the electrode obtained in step (4) in the solution and hydroheat at 160° C. for 24 h.
[0050] (6) The hydrothermal electrode obtained in step (5) was washed three times with anhydrous ethanol and ultrapure water, heated to 450°C at 5°C / min in an argon atmosphere, and calcined at high temperature for 2 h to obtain a photoelectrode of a metal organic framework derivative hybrid semiconductor, named ZrO2 / Ti 3+ -TiO2.

Figure 3 As shown in b, ZrO2 / Ti 3+ -TiO2 lattice oxygen peak area ratio NH2-UiO-66 / Ti 3+ -TiO2 is large, indicating that ZrO2 / Ti 3+ -TiO2 exposes more oxygen vacancies.
[0054] During the photoelectrocatalytic reaction, 2 mL of sample was taken at intervals (0 min, 3 min, 6 min, 9 min, 12 min, 15 min, and 18 min of catalysis) and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. The change in peak area at different degradation times was measured by high performance liquid chromatography to determine the concentration of tetracycline hydrochloride after degradation, thereby obtaining the degradation effect of the photoelectrode on tetracycline hydrochloride. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 shown.
[0055] Figure 4 This is a diagram showing the catalytic degradation effects of different prepared electrodes during the preparation of the photoelectrode of the metal organic framework derivative hybrid semiconductor in Example 1 of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown in a, about 13.51% degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride was observed on TiO2-NTs, which may be due to the presence of trace visible light and the oxidation effect of dissolved oxygen; ZrO2 / Ti 3+ -The degradation effect of TiO2 electrode on tetracycline hydrochloride reaches 100%.

[0058] The photoelectrode ZrO2 / Ti hybrid semiconductor of the metal organic framework derivative in Example 1 3+ -TiO2 was used as the anode, platinum sheet as the counter electrode, and Ag / AgCl electrode as the reference electrode. 100 mL of tetracycline hydrochloride wastewater containing sodium sulfate (the concentration of sodium sulfate in the wastewater was 0.5 mol / L, the concentration of antibiotics was 20 mg / L, and the pH was 5.0) was placed in the solution.

Figure 5 As shown in the figure, tetracycline hydrochloride in wastewater has the best degradation effect and the fastest degradation rate under photoelectrocatalytic conditions. It can be seen that the photoelectrode of metal organic framework derivative hybrid semiconductor has a synergistic effect on the utilization of light and electricity. The synergistic factor can be calculated by equation (1):
[0064]
[0065] Among them, k PEC , k PC and k EC represent the reaction rate constants of tetracycline hydrochloride degradation in the photoelectrocatalytic, photocatalytic and electrocatalytic processes, respectively.

[0067] A method for treating antibiotic wastewater using a metal organic framework derivative-semiconductor hybrid photoelectrode, specifically treating tetracycline hydrochloride in the wastewater through a photoelectrocatalytic reaction using a metal organic framework derivative hybrid semiconductor photoelectrode as an anode, comprising the following steps:
[0068] The photoelectrode ZrO2 / Ti hybrid semiconductor of the metal organic framework derivative in Example 1 3+-TiO2 was used as the anode, platinum as the counter electrode, and Ag / AgCl electrode as the reference electrode. 100 mL of tetracycline hydrochloride wastewater containing sodium sulfate (the concentration of sodium sulfate in the wastewater was 0.5 mol / L, the concentration of antibiotics was 20 mg / L, and the pH was 5.0) was placed in the solution. Photoelectrocatalysis was carried out at voltages of 1.0 V, 1.5 V, 2.0 V, and 2.5 V for 20 minutes to complete the catalytic treatment of tetracycline hydrochloride.
[0069] During the photoelectrocatalytic process, 2 mL of sample was taken at intervals (0 min, 3 min, 6 min, 9 min, 12 min, 15 min, and 18 min of catalysis) and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane.

[0071] Example 4
[0072] A method for treating antibiotic wastewater using a metal organic framework derivative-semiconductor hybrid photoelectrode, specifically treating tetracycline hydrochloride in the wastewater through a photoelectrocatalytic reaction using a metal organic framework derivative hybrid semiconductor photoelectrode as an anode, comprising the following steps:
[0073] The photoelectrode ZrO2 / Ti hybrid semiconductor of the metal organic framework derivative in Example 1 3+Using -TiO2 as the anode, a platinum sheet as the counter electrode, and an Ag / AgCl electrode as the reference electrode, they were placed in 100 mL of tetracycline hydrochloride wastewater containing sodium sulfate with pH values of 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, and 9.0 respectively (the concentration of sodium sulfate in this wastewater was 0.5 mol / L, and the concentration of the antibiotic was 20 mg / L) for a photoelectrocatalytic reaction for 20 minutes. The photoelectrocatalytic reaction was carried out under visible light irradiation and an applied voltage of 2.0 V to complete the catalytic treatment of tetracycline hydrochloride.
[0074] During the photoelectrocatalytic process, 2 mL of samples were taken at regular intervals (when the catalysis was carried out for 0 min, 3 min, 6 min, 9 min, 12 min, 15 min, and 18 min), and the samples were filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. The change in the peak area at different degradation times was measured by a high - performance liquid chromatograph to determine the concentration of tetracycline hydrochloride after degradation, so as to obtain the degradation effect of the photoelectrode of the metal - organic framework derivative hybrid semiconductor on tetracycline hydrochloride. The results are as Figure 7 shown.
[0075] Figure 7 This is the photoelectrode ZrO2 / Ti of the metal - organic framework derivative hybrid semiconductor in Example 4 of the present invention 3+ -TiO2's degradation effect diagram of tetracycline hydrochloride at different pH values. As Figure 7 shown, as the pH value increases, the degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride first increases and then decreases, reaching the maximum at pH = 5.0. That is, the catalytic activity of the photoelectrode shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of the pH value. This phenomenon can be explained as follows:
[0076] (1) The nature of the target pollutant. The dissociation constants (pKa: 3.32, 7.78, 9.58) of TC molecules determine their charged properties (cationic state at pH < 3.32; zwitterionic form: 3.32 < pH < 7.78; anionic species: pH > 7.78). Due to electrostatic interaction, the photoelectrode and TC molecules are effectively combined, which is beneficial to the catalytic effect.
[0077] (2) The presence of amino groups. When exposed to water, tetracycline hydrochloride has amino groups and shows basic characteristics. Therefore, it is more conducive to degrading pollutants under acidic conditions.
[0078] (3) The presence of hydrogen bonds. As Figure 3 shown, the photoelectrode has O - H bonds, and this polar group of O - H bonds is also beneficial to the absorption and catalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride molecules.
[0079] Figure 8 This is the photoelectrode ZrO2 / Ti of the metal - organic framework derivative hybrid semiconductor in Example 1 of the present invention 3+-TiO2 photocurrent decay curve and cycle effect diagram. Figure 8 As shown, the long-term photocurrent decay curve of the metal-organic framework-derived hybrid semiconductor photoelectrode shows no significant downward trend, indicating the electrode's excellent stability. Compared to powdered catalysts, the bulk electrode exhibits significantly improved recyclability, avoiding the problem of low recycling efficiency and demonstrating higher degradation reproducibility. After six cycles of operation, the degradation efficiency remained above 80%.
