Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, specifically relating to a cellulose-based composite bead for activating persulfate-degrading dyes, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the large amount of organic pollutants in the aquatic environment, such as dye molecules, antibiotics, and pesticides, has attracted much attention and has had a certain impact on people's lives. Therefore, it is crucial to find a highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable technology for degrading high concentrations of organic pollutants. Among these technologies, advanced oxidation technology (AOP) is particularly important. S As a cutting-edge technology for removing recalcitrant organic pollutants, persulfate has received widespread attention in the field of environmental remediation. Heterogeneous Fenton-like technologies utilizing persulfate as an oxidant have gradually developed into powerful techniques for degrading recalcitrant and non-biodegradable pollutants in wastewater. However, the leakage and irreversibility of metal compound ions, along with their difficulty in recycling, can easily cause secondary environmental pollution, thus limiting the practical application of Fenton-like technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention aims to solve the problem of efficient degradation of organic dyes in industrial wastewater. Addressing the technical problems and shortcomings of existing metal ion catalysts, it proposes a method for preparing cellulose-based composite beads for activating persulfate-based dye degradation. These cellulose-based composite beads are macroscopically spherical, easily recyclable, and solve the problems of difficult recycling and secondary environmental pollution caused by existing metal ion catalysts. Furthermore, this catalyst can efficiently degrade organic dyes over a wide pH range, the process is simple to operate, and the catalytic degradation occurs at room temperature, in darkness, or under natural light conditions, making it suitable for widespread application.
[0004] The specific steps of this invention are as follows:
[0005] (1) Preparation of CuMnO2: First, copper and manganese sources were added to an organic solvent at a mass ratio of (0.01–1%):(0.01–1%):1. Sodium hydroxide and citrate were added to deionized water at a mass ratio of (0.02–1%):(0.01–1%):1, and stirred at 25–60 °C for 1.0–2.0 h. Then, the copper source solution was added to the manganese source solution, followed by sodium citrate and sodium hydroxide solutions. The mixture was stirred for 0.5–2.0 h and then transferred to a reaction vessel. The reaction was carried out under solvothermal conditions for a period of time. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was centrifuged, washed, and dried to obtain CuMnO2.
[0006] The copper source can be selected from one of copper chloride, copper acetate, and copper nitrate; the manganese source can be selected from one of manganese chloride, manganese acetate, and manganese nitrate; the molar ratio of copper source to manganese source is 1:1.
[0007] The organic solvent is polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol.
[0008] The concentration of the copper source solution is 0.05–0.5 M, and the concentration of the manganese source solution is 0.05–0.5 M.
[0009] The solvothermal reaction temperature is 100-200℃ and the time is 10-15h; preferably, the reaction is carried out at 130℃ for 10h.
[0010] (2) Preparation of CS-Ca@PEI / CuMnO2 composite beads: First, cellulose, sodium alginate, polyethyleneimine, and CuMnO2 were added to deionized water and stirred evenly. The mass ratio of each drug to deionized water was (0.01-10%):(0.01-10%):(0.02-10%):(0.01-10%):1. The mixture was stirred at 25-60℃ for 6.0-24.0 h. Then, the mixed solution of cellulose, sodium alginate, polyethyleneimine, and CuMnO2 was added dropwise to a calcium ion or iron ion crosslinking solution for 1.0-2.0 h. The mixture was then immersed in glutaraldehyde solution at a crosslinking temperature of 25-60℃ for 2.0-6.0 h to prepare CS-Ca@PEI / CuMnO2 composite beads.
[0011] (3) The prepared cellulose-based composite beads are used to activate persulfate for the degradation of dyes. The catalyst and persulfate are added to the wastewater containing organic dyes, and the persulfate can be catalytically activated to degrade organic dyes under natural light conditions.
[0012] The organic dye is one or a mixture of Congo Red, methyl orange, or Rhodamine B.
[0013] The amount of CS-Ca@PEI / CuMnO2 catalyst added is 0.5 g / L to 2 g / L, and the amount of persulfate added is 0.5 mM to 2 mM;
[0014] The concentration of the wastewater containing reactive dyes is 50 mg / L-200 mg / L; the degradation time is 10 min-90 min. The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0039] Example 5:
[0040] The degradation of Congo red by three catalytic systems—CuMnO2, PMS, and CS-Ca@PEI / CuMnO2 / PMS—was investigated under pH-unadjusted conditions. First, a certain amount of catalyst (2 g / L) was weighed and added to 50 mL of 100 mg / L CR solution. The pH of the solution was not adjusted. Then, freshly prepared 1 mM PMS was added. Next, the reaction vessel was placed in a constant-temperature shaker at 25 °C and shaken for 90 min. Samples were taken at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 min. Immediately after sampling, 100 μL of 0.5 mol / L Na2S2O3 was added to quench the sample, and then the absorbance of the remaining dye in the sample solution was measured.

The pH values were adjusted to 3, 5, 7, 9, and a blank control (Example 5) with no pH adjustment. A certain mass of catalyst (2 g / L) was added, and samples were taken at given time points. Then, 100 μL of 0.5 mol / L Na2S2O3 was immediately added to quench the reaction. Finally, the CR solution in the residual solution was tested. The results showed that the degradation effect of CR was best at pH 7, with a removal rate of 90.97%, indicating that the catalyst has good performance in degrading CR by activated PMS.
