Rather, these embodiments are provided so that a more thorough understanding of the invention will be achieved and that the full scope of the invention will be conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] 60 mg of bismuth nitrate, 30 mg of ferric nitrate, and 3 mL of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride were added to 60 mL of ethylene glycol and heated to react under the following conditions: reflux heating at 150 °C for 6 h. After cooling, the mixture was centrifuged, washed, and the resulting precipitate was dried. The obtained material was Fe-doped BiOCl, i.e., Fe-BiOCl.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Bismuth nitrate 100 mg, iron nitrate 50 mg and poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride 6 mL were added into ethylene glycol 100 mL to react under the following conditions: 200 °C reflux heating for 2 h; after cooling, centrifugation and washing were performed, and the obtained precipitate was dried to obtain the material Fe-doped BiOCl, i.e. Fe-BiOCl.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Bismuth nitrate 90 mg, iron nitrate 40 mg and poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride 5 mL were added into ethylene glycol 80 mL to react under the following conditions: 180 °C reflux heating for 4 h; after cooling, centrifugation and washing were performed, and the obtained precipitate was dried to obtain the material Fe-doped BiOCl, i.e. Fe-BiOCl.

[0038] Example 4

[0039] Bismuth nitrate 97 mg, iron nitrate 40 mg and poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride 4.8 mL were added into ethylene glycol 90 mL to react under the following conditions: 170 °C reflux heating for 4 h; after cooling, centrifugation and washing were performed, and the obtained precipitate was dried to obtain the material Fe-doped BiOCl, i.e. Fe-BiOCl, the scanning electron image of which is shown in Figure 1 , and Figure 1 a sheet-like folded structure can be seen.

[0040] The material prepared in Example 4 was used to perform the following experiments.

[0041] Microcystis aeruginosa (FACHB-905) was purchased and cultured in a constant temperature and light incubator, the culture temperature was 25±0.5 °C, and the light and dark time ratio was 15 h:9 h, and the culture was shaken 2-3 times a day. Three experimental groups were set up: 50 μL, 100 μL and 200 μL of 1 mg / mL Fe-BiOCl solution was added to 10 mL of Microcystis aeruginosa liquid, respectively, and the concentrations were 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL and 20 μg / mL, respectively, and the control group was blank algal liquid, and each group was repeated 3 times. The initial algal liquid algal cell density was about 5×10 6 million / mL, and the color change of the algal liquid was observed every 24 h during the experiment, and the OD680 value of the algal liquid of each group was measured.

[0042] The color changes of the algal liquid of the control group and each experimental group under different reaction times are shown in Figure 2 . The color of the algal liquid of the control group and each experimental group became darker with the increase of exposure time. Compared with the control group, the color of the algal liquid of each experimental group gradually became lighter with the increase of time. When the exposure time was the same, the color of the algal liquid gradually became lighter with the increase of the concentration of the material.

[0043] Microcystis aeruginosa can produce photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll A during photosynthesis, which can produce fluorescence signals. Confocal fluorescence microscopic imaging method was used to investigate the morphology of algal cells in the control group and the algal liquid treated with 20 μg / mL Fe-BiOCl for 5 days. The excitation wavelength was 405 nm, and the emission wavelength was 420-600 nm, as shown in Figure 3 . The control group algal liquid for 5 days is shown in FIGS. a-c. It was observed that the algal cell morphology was regular round, with cell wall, and some growing and differentiating algal cells and a small amount of dead cells, and the fluorescence signal was strong. In the 20 μg / mL Fe-BiOCl treated Microcystis aeruginosa, the algal cell wall was thin or not visible, the algal cell size was reduced, a large number of algal cells appeared incomplete, collapsed, shrunk, and the differentiated algal cells were less, and the fluorescence signal was weakened, indicating that the material had an inhibitory effect on Microcystis aeruginosa under visible light irradiation.

[0044] In order to investigate the effect of Fe-BiOCl on the structure of algal cells, the control group algal liquid and the algal liquid treated with 20 μg / mL Fe-BiOCl for 5 days were dried into powder under low temperature and vacuum, and the changes of functional groups were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, as shown in Figure 4 . In the control group, 3400 cm -1 belongs to γ-OH, 2930 cm -1 belongs to γ as C-H, 1650 cm -1 belongs to Amide I (γC=O), 1540 cm -1 belongs to Amide II (δN-H). In the experimental group, Amide II has a blue shift, indicating that Fe-BiOCl interacts with algal protein.

[0045] In order to investigate the photocatalytic inhibition effect of visible light catalytic material Fe-BiOCl on Microcystis aeruginosa, the changes of OD680 value of algal liquid at different culture times were analyzed by enzyme marker, and the scanning range was 300-800 nm, as shown in Figure 5 . Three experimental groups were set: the concentration of Fe-BiOCl in the algal liquid was 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, and 20 μg / mL, respectively; three blank groups: the concentration of Fe-BiOCl in the BG-11 culture medium was 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, and 20 μg / mL, respectively; at the same time, the control group algal liquid did not add any material, and each group was repeated three times. Among them, the samples of the three experimental groups were diluted by one time of BG-11 culture medium due to the high OD680 value. The results showed that: Fe-BiOCl material had no interference with the absorption of algal liquid, the OD680 value of all samples increased after 5 days of reaction, the OD680 value of the three experimental groups was lower than that of the control group, among them, the OD680 value of the 20 μg / mL Fe-BiOCl experimental group was the highest, indicating that the material had the most obvious inhibitory effect on the algal liquid at this concentration.

[0046] Chlorophyll, lutein, carotenoid are photosynthetic pigments in Microcystis aeruginosa, and the corresponding OD values are 645 nm and 663 nm (chlorophyll), 454 nm (lutein), and 444 nm (carotenoid). The concentration level reflects the growth of algae, and further analysis can see the influence of Fe-BiOCl photocatalytic material on each photosynthetic pigment. The changes of OD values of each photosynthetic pigment in the algae liquid under different reaction times (0d, 1d, 2d, 3d, 5d, 7d) were analyzed by enzyme marker, as shown in Figure 6 Three experimental groups were set: the concentration of Fe-BiOCl in the algae liquid was 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, and 20 μg / mL respectively; three blank groups: the concentration of Fe-BiOCl in the BG-11 medium was 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, and 20 μg / mL respectively; and the control group was blank algae liquid, with each group repeated three times. The results showed that the OD values of each photosynthetic pigment in the algae liquid gradually increased with time; when the time was the same, the OD values of each photosynthetic pigment in the algae liquid gradually decreased with the increase of the concentration of the material; and when the reaction was for 7d, the inhibition of 20 μg / mL Fe-BiOCl on each photosynthetic pigment in the algae liquid was the most obvious.

[0047] On this basis, the algae inhibition rate of each experimental group was calculated, as shown in Figure 7 On the 7th day, the inhibition rate of 20 μg / mL Fe-BiOCl on the algae cells was the highest, and the best algae removal rate was about 18%.

[0048] In order to investigate the application of Fe-BiOCl to the actual sample of water affected by Microcystis aeruginosa, a lake water sample with vigorous growth of Microcystis aeruginosa in summer was collected and placed in a constant temperature and light incubator for continuous light, with shaking 2-3 times a day. Three experimental groups were set: 50 μL, 100 μL, and 200 μL of 1 mg / mL Fe-BiOCl solution were added to 10 mL of actual water sample respectively, with the concentrations being 5 μg / mL (marked as YHM1C1), 10 μg / mL (marked as YHM1C2), and 20 μg / mL (marked as YHM1C3) respectively, and the control group was without the addition of the material (marked as YH), with each group repeated three times. The color changes of the control group and the experimental groups were observed at 0h, 18h, 42h, 66h, 114h, and 162h. The color changes of the control group and each experimental group under different reaction times are shown in Figure 8 The color of the control group and each experimental group became darker with the increase of exposure time. Compared with the control group, the color of the actual sample in each experimental group gradually became lighter with the increase of time. When the exposure time was the same, the color of the actual sample gradually became lighter with the increase of the concentration of the material.

[0049] The material prepared in Example 4 is used in the above experiment process only, the material prepared in Examples 1-3 can also produce similar effects. And although the above experiment process only gives the treatment effect of higher concentration of Microcystis aeruginosa, but based on its treatment mechanism, it is expected that other blue-green algae, such as Anabaena, Oscillatoria, Nostoc, Chroococcus, and Nori, as well as green algae, diatoms, and other algae in freshwater bodies, can produce similar treatment effects.

[0050] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, not any form of limitation on the present application, and those skilled in the art can make some simple modifications, equivalent changes or modifications based on the above disclosed technical content, which are all within the protection scope of the present application.
