Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of photocatalysts, and particularly relates to a titanium dioxide photocatalyst for treating aquaculture wastewater. BACKGROUND

[0002] A photocatalyst is a general term for a semiconductor material with photocatalytic function, represented by nanoscale titanium dioxide, which can produce a strong oxidizing substance under light irradiation and can act on organic compounds, some inorganic compounds, bacteria, viruses and the like. The photocatalyst can be applied to multiple fields. In the aspect of environmental governance, the photocatalyst can be used for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, photocatalytic oxidation of harmful gases and photocatalytic sterilization and the like. In the aspect of energy conversion, the photocatalyst can be applied to photovoltaic cells and water splitting to produce hydrogen and the like. In the aspect of organic synthesis, the photocatalyst can be used for photocatalytic organic reactions and photocatalytic synthesis of organic molecules and the like. Aquaculture wastewater refers to wastewater containing organic matter, inorganic matter and microorganisms generated in the process of aquaculture. The aquaculture wastewater contains a large amount of organic matter such as feed residues and feces, resulting in a high content of ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater. In addition, the aquaculture wastewater contains a large amount of nutrients, causing microbial pollution, and the nitrogen and phosphorus elements in the wastewater cause eutrophication of the water body, and the sulfur element causes the water body to emit a foul odor.

[0003] In the prior art, the traditional methods for treating aquaculture wastewater include biological methods, physical methods and chemical methods. The biological treatment method needs a long treatment time and is sensitive to temperature, oxygen and pH and the like. The physical treatment method has a poor removal effect on organic matter and cannot remove dissolved organic matter and inorganic pollutants in the wastewater. The chemical treatment method needs to use a large amount of chemical agents, and the utilization rate of the chemical agents is low due to the complex environment in the water body. The chemical reagent for purifying the water body mainly uses a flocculant, and the flocculation effect of the flocculant is limited, the service life is short, and the flocculant cannot be recycled. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to provide a titanium dioxide photocatalyst for treating aquaculture wastewater. The titanium dioxide photocatalyst is prepared by dispersing a boron-silicon nonmetallic skeleton in a silicone solution through ultrasonic dispersion, adding a 10% sodium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH value, gradually adding titanium dioxide microsphere powder in the stirring process, reacting for 3-4 hours, and then performing filtration, washing and drying to obtain a modified titanium-based photocatalyst.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the application is that the flocculation effect of a flocculant is limited and the service life is short.

[0006] The object of the application can be achieved by the following technical scheme.

[0007] The application discloses a titanium dioxide photocatalyst for treating aquaculture wastewater, which is composed of the following components in mass fraction: modified titanium-based photocatalyst 80-85%, activated carbon 5-10%, magnesium carbonate 2-4%, polyaluminum chloride 2-5% and epoxy resin 1-2%.

[0008] Further, the modified titanium-based photocatalyst is prepared by the following steps:

[0009] The boron-silicon nonmetallic skeleton is ultrasonically dispersed in a silicone solution, 10% sodium hydroxide solution is added dropwise to adjust the pH value to 11-12, and titanium dioxide microsphere powder is gradually added in the stirring process; then the mixture is transferred into a 75 DEG C constant-temperature box, and is reacted for 3-4 hours under the condition of 1000 rpm-2000 rpm; after filtration, washing and drying, the modified titanium-based photocatalyst is obtained.

[0010] Further, the boron-silicon nonmetallic skeleton is prepared by the following steps:

[0011] The tributyl borate is ultrasonically dispersed in 10% acetone solution, 1 mol / L tetraethyl silicate solution is slowly added dropwise, and the pH value is adjusted to 4-6; then the mixture is transferred into a stainless steel Teflon-lined autoclave, and is reacted for 6-8 hours under the condition of 150 DEG C-180 DEG C; after washing and drying, the boron-silicon nonmetallic skeleton is obtained.

[0012] The titanium dioxide microsphere powder refers to a micron-level titanium dioxide material in a spherical morphology.

[0013] Further, the titanium dioxide microsphere powder is prepared by the following steps:

[0014] Acetylacetone is added into anhydrous ethanol, and butyl titanate is slowly added dropwise; after uniform stirring, a mixed solution A is obtained; then hydrochloric acid solution is added into anhydrous ethanol, and the mixture is stirred to obtain a mixed solution B; the mixed solution A is introduced into the mixed solution B through a glass rod, and the stirring is continuously performed for 15-20 minutes; finally, the uniformly stirred solution is prepared into the titanium dioxide microsphere powder through a spray pyrolysis device.

[0015] The amount ratio of the boron-silicon nonmetallic skeleton, the silicone solution and the titanium dioxide microsphere powder is (10-15) g:(20-30) mL:(5-7) g.

[0016] The volume ratio of the tributyl borate, the acetone solution and the tetraethyl silicate solution is (2-4):(6-8):(1-5).

[0017] The volume ratio of the acetylacetone, the butyl titanate, the hydrochloric acid solution and the anhydrous ethanol is (1-2):(10-20):(2.5-5):(45-90).

[0018] Further, the modified titanium-based photocatalyst is prepared by the following steps:

[0019] The modified titanium-based photocatalyst, activated carbon, magnesium carbonate, polyaluminum chloride and epoxy resin of corresponding mass fraction are weighed and uniformly stirred, then are put into a mixer, and after being fully mixed, are put into a mold to be compression molded to obtain the titanium dioxide photocatalyst for treating aquaculture wastewater.

[0020] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In the technical scheme of the present application, the boron-silicon non-metallic framework has a porous structure and provides a high specific surface area by virtue of the three-dimensional structure composed of Z-shaped channels and elliptical straight channels intersecting with the Z-shaped channels, so as to improve the activity and efficiency of the photocatalyst by using the boron-silicon non-metallic framework as a carrier. In addition, the boron-silicon non-metallic framework has good chemical stability and can stably load the photocatalyst under different reaction conditions, so that the photocatalyst is not easily deactivated and has a long service life in the complex environment of aquaculture wastewater.

[0022] 2. In the technical scheme of the present application, the micron-sized titanium dioxide material in a spherical shape is adsorbed in the boron-silicon non-metallic structure, so that the photocatalyst does not aggregate into a group in the aquaculture wastewater and maintains a good dispersion state. The spherical morphology helps to improve the specific surface area of the titanium dioxide material, thereby improving the stability of the titanium dioxide material loaded in the boron-silicon non-metallic structure. The poisoning of metals by elements such as sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus is generally manifested by the interaction between the lone pair electrons on the sulfur atom and the active metal, such as the adsorption of sulfides on the active metal, covering the active center sites or dissociative adsorption on the metal, strong bonding between the metal, resulting in deactivation of the catalyst. The titanium dioxide microspheres with the boron-silicon non-metallic framework as a carrier can avoid the phenomenon of deactivation of the photocatalyst caused by the adsorption of sulfides and the like on the active center.
