Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of biomass materials and water pollution control technology, and in particular to a method for preparing flower-shaped biochar balls and lignin-based carbon dots from waste distiller's grains at multiple scales and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Baijiu (Chinese white liquor) is an alcoholic beverage made primarily from grains, using daqu (large koji), xiaoqu (small koji), bran koji, and yeast as saccharification and fermentation agents. The process involves cooking, saccharification, fermentation, and distillation. Distiller's grains (or lees) are the main waste product in baijiu production, with a ratio of approximately 1:3 between baijiu production and lees production. This vast quantity of lees is difficult to utilize, partly due to its high moisture and acidity, making it difficult to preserve, and partly due to its high rice husk content (approximately 75%), resulting in a high fiber content. Directly discarding lees not only severely pollutes the environment but also wastes a significant amount of resources. Research on the reuse of lees is of great importance, enabling not only the rational use of resources but also the green production of traditional baijiu, responding to the national call for sustainable development. Because lees contain abundant cellulose, lignin, and protein, and are widely available and inexpensive, they represent an ideal biomass resource for development. Effective development and utilization of lees, improving resource utilization rates, can not only reduce and prevent environmental pollution from waste lees but also bring significant economic benefits. In recent years, research on distillers' grains has mainly focused on their application in animal feed, anaerobic digestion technology, cellulose fermentation in distillers' grains to produce ethanol fuel, and extraction of high-value functional substances from distillers' grains. However, the amount of distillers' grains consumed in these applications accounts for only a small portion of the annual amount of distillers' grains waste. A large amount of distillers' grains waste still urgently needs to be treated. Therefore, it is still necessary to further develop new technologies for the utilization of distillers' grains, increase the utilization rate of distillers' grains waste, and alleviate the environmental pollution caused by distillers' grains.

[0003] Water bodies contain various organic pollutants and inorganic heavy metals from agriculture, industrial production, and other real-world environments. Water pollution caused by heavy metals and emerging organic pollutants has become one of the world's largest environmental challenges. In recent years, persulfate advanced oxidation technology has made significant progress in treating recalcitrant organic wastewater, offering advantages such as a wide pH range, strong oxidation capacity, and long half-life. While homogeneous persulfate systems using transition metal ions as catalysts have advantages such as high activation efficiency and low catalyst dosage, they also suffer from disadvantages such as difficult catalyst recovery, significant influence from solution pH, and the potential for secondary pollution. Therefore, there is a need to develop new heterogeneous catalytic systems based on catalyst activation. Rapid detection of heavy metal content in water bodies is of great importance. Conventional detection methods, such as flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), suffer from cumbersome procedures, low sensitivity, or the need for expensive instruments. Carbon dot-based fluorescence analysis technology for detecting heavy metal ions has proven to be an effective method. Compared to traditional organic molecules as carbon sources for synthesizing carbon dots, biomass carbon sources have many advantages such as being environmentally friendly, low-cost, and biocompatible, attracting increasing attention.

[0015] According to the above scheme, in step (3), the solid-liquid mass ratio of the lees powder and the acetone aqueous solution is 1:100. Magnetic stirring is used, and after stirring for 3-5 hours, the solid and liquid are separated by centrifugation at 8000-10000 rpm. The acetone aqueous solution is made by mixing acetone and water in a volume ratio of (1-3):1. Vacuum rotary evaporation is used for concentration, and the evaporation temperature is 50℃.

[0016] According to the above scheme, in step (4), the hydrothermal reaction conditions are 160-200℃ for 6-8 hours; dialysis is performed using a 1000Da molecular weight dialysis membrane for 24-48 hours.

[0017] According to the above scheme, in step (5), the hydrothermal reaction conditions are 220-250℃ for 2-6 hours; the concentration of cellulose carbohydrates is 40g / L; and vacuum freeze drying is used for 24-36 hours.

[0018] According to the above scheme, in step (6), the mass ratio of hydrothermal carbon balls, melamine, cobalt acetate hexahydrate and potassium bicarbonate is 1:0.5:3:6; the pyrolysis temperature is 500-800℃, the pyrolysis time is 1-2h; and the temperature is increased to the pyrolysis temperature at a heating rate of 5℃ / min.

[0019] This invention also claims protection for the flower-shaped biochar ball catalyst and lignin-based carbon dot solution prepared by the above method using waste distiller's grains at multiple scales.

[0020] The above-described method describes the application of the flower-shaped biochar sphere catalyst in the removal of organic pollutants from water. The application method involves simultaneously adding the flower-shaped biochar sphere catalyst and persulfate to the polluted water, followed by a constant-temperature, oscillating reaction in a water bath for a period of time, thereby achieving the degradation and removal of organic pollutants from the water. This invention primarily utilizes the flower-shaped biochar sphere catalyst to activate persulfate, generating highly oxidizing reactive oxygen species (·OH, SO4·). - O2 - , 1 O2) can degrade organic pollutants. Through the synergistic effect of strong oxidizing active oxygen components and surface electron transfer, it can degrade most pollutants, including organic pollutants such as tetracycline, sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin.
