[0002] With the continuous enhancement of people's and social environmental protection awareness and the increasingly strict environmental protection standards of enterprises, the effective treatment of three wastes has once again become a problem that each enterprise must face. Among them, the wastewater pollution problem in the chemical industry is the most serious. In recent years, each enterprise has optimized the wastewater discharge and recycling treatment mode, and the corresponding wastewater treatment process and supporting technology have made obvious progress. However, in the daily scientific experiments of petroleum and chemical research institutes, research-oriented colleges and universities and research sites of enterprises, the waste liquid containing chemical reagents is usually classified and recycled and directed to be treated, but the wastewater containing organic molecules such as hydrocarbons generated in the process of cleaning the experimental glassware and instrument equipment is inevitably discharged into the sewage pipe. This kind of wastewater has the characteristics of high organic matter concentration and difficult degradation compared with traditional industrial wastewater.

[0003] The prior art, Chinese patent CN109569596B discloses a catalyst for treating wastewater containing ammonia nitrogen and COD, which comprises platinum group noble metal, group IVA metal and oxide carrier, and is used at a reaction temperature of 260℃ and a pressure of 8.5MPa. However, this invention requires a certain temperature and pressure, which has excellent economy when discharging traditional industrial wastewater, but for wastewater with organic hydrocarbon as the main pollutant and intermittent discharge, the efficiency is low and the economic cost is high. Chinese patent CN102872884B discloses a water treatment catalyst, its production method and application, the raw materials include manganese dioxide, aluminum oxide, carbon dioxide, cobalt trioxide, carbon powder, etc. However, the catalyst has the problems of small specific surface area, low mechanical strength, easy ozone activation, low catalytic degradation efficiency, etc.
