[0037] In the application, the precursors corresponding to the metal elements are preferably nitrate salts of the metal elements; the application preferably uses metal nitrates as combustion precursors, because nitrates have pure pyrolysis products at high temperatures, and nitrates generally have higher solubility than sulfates and hydrochlorides. In the application, the combustion-supporting agent preferably includes one or more of glycine, urea and citric acid, and is more preferably glycine. The application uses glycine as a combustion-supporting agent, which has the advantage of relatively pure combustion products. The application does not have special requirements for the amount of the combustion-supporting agent, which can be excessive relative to the metal elements. In the embodiments of the application, the molar ratio of the combustion-supporting agent to all the metal elements is preferably 3:1.

[0044] In the present application, the volatile organic solvent preferably includes ethanol; the present application utilizes washing to remove the surfactant, and can ensure that the residual amount of the volatile organic solvent is extremely low.

[0045] The present application utilizes soft-template surfactant-assisted ball milling, and utilizes the ball milling means to increase the specific surface area of the high-entropy oxides and mechanically activate the surface of the high-entropy oxides. The increase of the specific surface area can effectively expose the covered active sites, and the mechanical activation of the surface can effectively increase the migration ability of the lattice oxygen and promote the generation of oxygen vacancies, and thus improve the catalytic oxidation efficiency of the volatile organic pollutants in the flue gas.

[0087] Example 7 (high-entropy ball milling for 6h)

[0088] To improve the specific surface area of the high-entropy oxide, 15% of the sample powder by mass is added, and the solvent is n-heptane, and the solute is oleic acid, oleylamine, etc. mixed in a certain proportion to form a surfactant. When ball milling, the ball-to-material ratio is 10:1, that is, 1 g of high-entropy oxide powder is added to each ball milling tank, 10 g of grinding balls (3 large balls with a diameter of 12 mm, 5 medium balls with a diameter of 8 mm, and 10 small balls with a diameter of 6 mm), and 2 mL of n-heptane is added to completely dissolve 0.87 mL of oleic acid and 0.91 mL of oleylamine surfactant. After ball milling for 6h, a large amount of ethanol is added to the ball milling tank for washing, and the washed black suspension is transferred to a beaker. After standing for 30 min, the solution is layered, and the supernatant is poured out. Repeat this process 5-7 times until the supernatant is clear, not yellowish, and not acidic. At this point, the washing is complete, and the sample can be taken out directly.

[0089] The catalyst sample is placed in a reactor under the conditions of a reaction temperature of 200-450℃ and an airspeed of 30000h -1 The conditions are that 40 ppm o-xylene, 5 vol.% O2 and carrier gas N2 are passed through. The catalytic efficiency for o-xylene is 68.93% to 100%.

[0091] To increase the specific surface area of ​​the high-entropy oxide, a surfactant, comprising 15% by mass of the sample powder, was subsequently added. This surfactant consisted of n-heptane as the solvent and a mixture of oleic acid and oleylamine as the solutes. During ball milling, the ball-to-powder ratio was 10:1, meaning 1g of high-entropy oxide powder and 10g of grinding balls (3 large balls with a diameter of 12mm, 5 medium balls with a diameter of 8mm, and 10 small balls with a diameter of 6mm) were added to each milling jar. 2mL of n-heptane was added to completely dissolve 0.87mL of oleic acid and 0.91mL of oleylamine surfactant. After milling for 18 hours, a large amount of ethanol was added to the milling jar for rinsing, and the resulting black suspension was transferred to a beaker. The solution was allowed to stand for 30 minutes until it separated into layers, and the supernatant was poured off. This process was repeated 5–7 times until the supernatant was clear, not pale yellow, and not acidic at pH. The washing process was then complete, and the sample could be directly removed.

During ball milling, the ball-to-powder ratio was 10:1, meaning 1g of high-entropy oxide powder, 10g of grinding balls (3 large balls with a diameter of 12mm, 5 medium balls with a diameter of 8mm, and 10 small balls with a diameter of 6mm) were added to each milling jar. 2mL of n-heptane was added to completely dissolve 0.87mL of oleic acid and 0.91mL of oleylamine surfactant. After milling for 24 hours, a large amount of ethanol was added to the milling jar for rinsing, and the resulting black suspension was transferred to a beaker. The solution was allowed to stand for 30 minutes until it separated into layers, and the supernatant was poured off. This process was repeated 5–7 times until the poured-off supernatant was clear, not pale yellow, and had a non-acidic pH. The washing process was then complete, and the sample could be directly removed.

The experimental results show that the efficiency difference is not large when VOC, nitrogen oxide, Hg and joint removal are removed alone, and the efficiency decrease is controlled within 5%, and the joint removal of NO and VOC even appears a certain efficiency increase. It is shown that the present application can complete the joint removal of nitrogen oxide and mercury vapor without affecting the removal of volatile organic pollutants.
