Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of photocatalysts and microbial contaminated water treatment, in particular, to a supported photocatalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the traditional industrial water disinfection methods mainly include chlorine disinfection and ultraviolet disinfection. Although chlorine disinfection and ultraviolet disinfection can effectively kill pathogenic microorganisms, there are some unavoidable shortcomings. For example, chlorine or chlorine-containing oxidants will react with trace organic matter in water during disinfection, producing chlorinated disinfection by-products. These disinfection by-products are carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic and genotoxic, and have certain harmfulness to human health and receiving water bodies. Although the ultraviolet disinfection process overcomes the disadvantages of producing harmful by-products due to the addition of chemical reagents, it also has many problems in practical application. For example, high energy consumption, generation of ozone during sterilization process, etc. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) disinfection or Fenton system disinfection composed of H2O2 is a clean disinfection technology. During the disinfection process, H2O2 is decomposed into water and oxygen, without secondary pollution. However, the H2O2-based disinfection technology also has many challenges, such as the difficulty of cracking the highly symmetrical H2O2 molecule to produce active species, the high production of Fe sludge in the Fenton system, and the difficulty of storage and transportation of liquid H2O2. Therefore, developing new H2O2 disinfection technology to treat microbial contaminated water is an urgent problem to be solved at present.

[0003] Photocatalytic disinfection technology as a new, efficient, low-cost and environmentally friendly advanced oxidation technology has attracted widespread attention. In 1985, Matsunaga et al. first used a UVA band light source to kill microorganisms under TiO2 catalysis. Since then, various heterogeneous photocatalysts such as TiO2, WO3, CdS, g-C3N4 (CN) have been applied in water disinfection field, among which TiO2 and CN are the most common. CN has great potential in the development of energy-saving and environment-friendly materials due to its suitable visible light energy band, morphology plasticity and other characteristics. Although these photocatalytic materials have their own unique advantages, they also have the shortcomings of general photocatalytic disinfection materials, such as low visible light utilization efficiency, short active species life, slow speed, etc. Recently reported, the bimetallic Pd-Au supported on TiO2 as catalyst, in situ activation of H2 and O2 chemical reaction to inactivate bacteria in water, the disinfection efficiency is high and there is no chemical residue. The main mechanism of disinfection and sterilization of this technology is to form more mobile radical intermediates (HO·, HOO· / O2· -), the large amount of free radicals generated can be used for killing bacteria. In this process, the rate of direct formation of free radicals by H2 / O2 is much higher than the rate of decomposition of H2O2 to form free radicals. Therefore, the disinfection effect of in-situ catalysis of H2 / O2 is better than that of H2O2. Recent studies have initially explored the feasibility of efficient photocatalytic disinfection, but there are also deficiencies in the specific implementation process. For example, the in-situ activation of H2 chemical reaction uses exogenous H2 input, which has low utilization rate, high energy consumption and great safety hazards.

[0004] Photocatalytic in-situ generation and activation of H2O2 for treating microbial contaminated water has good application prospects, mainly because: on the one hand, there is no introduction of exogenous H2O2, overcoming the difficulties of storage and transportation, on the other hand, in-situ activation avoids the low efficiency caused by the migration process. After searching, Chinese patent No. ZL 201710636545.5, the patent name is: a preparation method and application of a visible light catalyst; the application prepared a visible light catalyst Au / Ag / g-C3N4 by modifying g-C3N4 with Au and Ag nanoparticles, and applied it to sterilization under visible light irradiation. Through the loading of Au and Ag nanoparticles on the surface of g-C3N4, the ability to absorb visible light is improved, so that the catalyst can produce good catalytic effect under the irradiation of sunlight, thereby reducing the consumption of energy and achieving good sterilization effect. However, the Au and Ag nanoparticles used in the application are expensive, resulting in high cost of photocatalytic sterilization.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new photocatalyst to solve the above problems of photocatalytic sterilization. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems of traditional disinfection technology, such as the generation of disinfection by-products causing secondary pollution, high energy consumption, high treatment cost, low photon utilization rate of photocatalyst, and poor effect, thereby providing a supported photocatalyst, a preparation method and application thereof. The supported photocatalyst contains a small amount of Pd element, which reduces the amount of noble metal and reduces the cost. At the same time, the sterilization effect of the supported photocatalyst is stable and can be recycled. Furthermore, the preparation method of the supported photocatalyst is simple, convenient, low-cost, green and environmentally friendly, and has a wide application prospect.

Every 30 min, 100 μL of the mixture was taken out, diluted a certain factor, and evenly spread onto LB solid medium. The culture dishes were then incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Colony counts were calculated, and the number of colonies in the culture dishes after each sterilization reaction was recorded. Specific results are shown below. Figure 10 As shown,

[0124] The photocatalysts are product B1 prepared in Example 1, product D1 prepared in Comparative Example 1, and product D2 prepared in Comparative Example 2, respectively.

[0125] Depend on Figure 10 The bactericidal effects of product B1 obtained in Example 1, product D1 obtained in Comparative Example 1, and product D2 obtained in Comparative Example 2 on Escherichia coli can be seen from the graphs. Pure CNT material D2 cannot effectively kill Escherichia coli. Compared with D2, the bactericidal effect of D1 is improved, but it is still not ideal. B1 can effectively remove Escherichia coli from the water. The bactericidal effect of B1 is significantly better than that of D1, indicating that single-atom Pd makes an outstanding contribution to the improvement of bactericidal efficiency.

Figure 13

[0136] By Figure 13 The sterilization effect diagram of the product B1 prepared in Example 1 on Escherichia coli under different conditions shows that under the condition of only air exposure and no visible light, the sterilization effect of B1 is very poor; under the condition of only light and no air exposure, the sterilization effect of B1 is greatly improved; under the condition of visible light and air exposure, the sterilization effect of B1 is the best, and it can be seen that light and air exposure are the necessary conditions for the activity of the catalyst to be improved.
