[0082] The biochar used in each example was produced by carbonizing washed wheat straw at 500°C for 4 h under a nitrogen atmosphere;

[0083] Other raw materials are conventional commercially available products.

[0084] Example 1

[0085] Preparation of granular montmorillonite-loaded zero-valent nano-iron electrode materials:

[0086] Step 1: Take 600 ml of a mixed liquid with a FeSO4·7H2O concentration of 0.0167 mol / L, wherein the solvent used in the mixed liquid is a mixture of anhydrous ethanol and deionized water in a volume ratio of 3:1); add 5 g of a montmorillonite carrier (the montmorillonite carrier used is a mixture of commercially available montmorillonite and biochar, and the biochar doping ratio in the montmorillonite carrier is 5% wt) to the above mixed liquid, stir continuously for 3 hours, and then add 100 ml of a 0.35 mol / L NaBH4 solution at a rate of 25-35 drops / min in a three-necked flask continuously purged with nitrogen. After the addition is completed, react for 30 minutes to obtain a montmorillonite-supported nano-zero-valent iron material, recorded as MMT(5%C) / nZVI (powder);

[0087] Step 2: The prepared montmorillonite-supported nano-zero-valent iron material was dried in a vacuum drying oven at 80°C for 6 hours to obtain a dried montmorillonite-supported nano-zero-valent iron material. The dried montmorillonite-supported nano-zero-valent iron material was passed through a 75-mesh sieve and dry-mixed with pseudo-boehmite, where the pseudo-boehmite content was 15% by weight. After uniform mixing, 5.2 mL of deionized water was added until the mixture formed a clay-like consistency. The mixture was then repeatedly kneaded in a vacuum slurry mill for 10 minutes. The mixture was then extruded into strips using a simple plodder. The pellets were then formed into granules with a particle size of approximately 3-5 mm using a pelletizer. The granules were then calcined in a tube furnace at 450°C for 3 hours to form the resulting material, designated MMT(5%C) / nZVI.

[0088] Comparative Example 1

[0089] This embodiment provides a granular montmorillonite-loaded zero-valent nano-iron electrode material, the preparation method of which includes:

[0090] The preparation method of montmorillonite-loaded zero-valent nano-iron in step 1 is basically the same as that in the embodiment, except that the montmorillonite carrier is not doped with biochar, and the prepared material is recorded as MMT / nZVI.

[0091] Step 2: 2.5 g of the prepared MMT / nZVI was added to 2.5 mL of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), 29 mL of deionized water, 1 mL of iso-n-butanol, and 0.3 g of carbon black in a beaker and stirred. A small amount of ethanol was added during stirring and the mixture was sonicated for 30 minutes to achieve uniformity. Graphite felt (GF) was soaked in acetone for 4 hours, then rinsed with deionized water and dried at 105°C. GF was added to the mixture and sonicated for 30 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure uniform loading on both sides of the graphite felt electrode. The remaining mixed solution in the beaker was evenly applied to the electrode using a pipette. This entire process was performed under a nitrogen atmosphere. The loaded electrode was first dried in natural conditions for 2 hours, then in a vacuum drying oven for 24 hours. Subsequently, the sample was calcined in a tube furnace at 365°C for 60 minutes under nitrogen. This sample is designated as MMT / nZVI / GF.

[0092] Example 2-25

[0093] Examples 2-25 respectively provide a granular montmorillonite-loaded zero-valent nano-iron electrode material, and the preparation method thereof is basically the same as that of Example 1. The differences are shown in Table 1.

[0094] Table 1 Preparation conditions of Examples 1-25

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] Among them, the material obtained in Example 4 is recorded as MMT / nZVI.

[0098] The montmorillonite-loaded zero-valent nano-iron provided in each embodiment was characterized:

[0099] X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was used to observe the changes in elements in the material before and after loading. The MMT (5% C) / nZVI (powder) provided in Example 1 was used as a typical representative. Figure 1 It can be found that nano-zero-valent iron was successfully loaded onto the montmorillonite carrier (montmorillonite / biochar) without being oxidized. The morphologies of unloaded montmorillonite MMT, MMT (5% C) / nZVI (powder), and MMT / nZVI (powder) were observed and analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). MMT (5% C) / nZVI was also used as a typical representative. Figures 2-4It can be clearly observed that the montmorillonite without nano-zero-valent iron loading exhibits a distinct layered structure with uneven edges. The montmorillonite with or without biochar successfully loaded with nano-zero-valent iron. The biochar-doped nano-zero-valent iron is evenly distributed between the carrier layers and along the edges, indicating that the addition of biochar facilitates the dispersion of nZVI, resulting in a relatively uniform distribution on the carrier. A specific surface area analyzer was used to measure the pore parameters of MMT, MMT(5%C) / nZVI, and MMT / nZVI, again using MMT(5%C) / nZVI as a representative example (see Table 2).

[0100] Table 2 Pore structure parameters of particle electrodes

[0101]

[0102] The electrochemical performance of the granular montmorillonite-loaded zero-valent nano-iron electrode material provided in each embodiment was tested:

[0103] Electrochemical performance tests were performed using cyclic voltammetry. The test methods included:

[0104] A platinum metal disk electrode was used as the working electrode, a platinum sheet was used as the auxiliary electrode, and a saturated calomel electrode was used as the reference electrode. The electrode materials provided in each embodiment were used as particle electrodes to form a three-dimensional electrode system (no third electrode in the two-dimensional system, and other conditions were the same as the three-dimensional electrode system). The electrode potential was set to -0.2 to 0.6 V, and scanned from -0.2 V to the negative potential direction at a certain scanning speed. After the corresponding potential reached 0.6 V, the scanning direction was changed, and the same speed was used to scan back to the initial potential of -0.2 V. The scanning rates were set to 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mV / s, respectively, and this scanning was repeated multiple times.

[0105] See also Figures 5-7 After adding the particle electrode, the peak value of the response current has obvious changes due to the different biochar doping ratios and the nano zero-valent iron loading. The current peak values ​​of different systems are linearly fitted at different scanning rates, and the size of the obtained k value can well represent the size of the electron mass transfer rate in the system. The electrode material provided by the embodiment of the present invention has relatively excellent electron mass transfer performance. Different charge transfer resistances are analyzed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, see Figure 8Taking Example 1 as a typical example, when the biochar doping amount is 3-7%, the system has a smaller solution charge and discharge resistance, which is more conducive to the reaction. A three-dimensional electrode system was constructed using the granular montmorillonite-loaded zero-valent nano-iron electrode material provided in each example as the granular electrode and a graphite plate as the cathode and anode. A two-dimensional electrode system was constructed using the MMT / nZVI / GF material prepared in Comparative Example 1 as the cathode and a graphite plate as the anode. The constructed three-dimensional system and two-dimensional system were respectively subjected to experiments on the removal of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin in water and the determination of the amount of iron leaching. The specific method for constructing the system and the specific steps of the experiment include:

[0106] Construction and experimental methods of three-dimensional electrode systems, including:

[0107] The experiment was carried out under the following conditions: a constant temperature magnetic stirrer was set at 400 r / min, room temperature was 25 ℃, a graphite plate (60 × 30 × 5 mm) was used as cathode and anode respectively, a spacing of 60 mm was set between the positive and negative electrodes, and the positive and negative electrodes were inserted 30 mm below the liquid level. A DC power supply was used to apply an applied voltage of 2 V, and the power supply was connected to the positive and negative electrodes with a red and black wire clamp. The electrolyte solution was 0.05 mol / L Na2SO4. In a 400 mL beaker, the basic control factors were kept constant, the initial pH value of the regulating solution was 3, 5 g / L of the material provided in each embodiment was added to the solution, 150 mL of a 10 mg / L ciprofloxacin aqueous solution was respectively added to the reaction system, and the concentration of ciprofloxacin was determined by spectrophotometry after 180 min. The iron ion leaching amount was determined by o-phenanthroline spectrophotometry. Each experiment was repeated twice.

[0108] The construction of the two-dimensional electrode system is similar to that of the three-dimensional electrode system, except that the MMT / nZVI / GF material prepared in Comparative Example 1 is used as the cathode, the graphite plate is used as the anode, and no other particulate materials are added to the electrolyte solution.

[0109] The three-dimensional system constructed with the materials provided in Example 1 is a typical example. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the electrode systems assembled by MMT (5% C) / nZVI and MMT / nZVI / GF have ideal removal effects on ciprofloxacin, but the iron ion leaching amount of MMT (5% C) / nZVI in the three-dimensional electrode system is significantly reduced, with the lowest being only 0.87 mg / L.

[0110] In summary, the electrode material prepared in the experimental example of the present invention has greater mechanical strength and good electrochemical properties. Compared with the nano-zero-valent iron-loaded composite cathode material, it can not only remove antibiotics in sewage equally effectively and achieve efficient degradation of pollutants, but also has less secondary pollution to the environment.

[0111] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative or illustrative of the principles of the present invention and do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications that fall within the scope and metes and bounds of the appended claims, or equivalents thereof.
