Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and in particular relates to a sugarcane pith thin carbon mesh loaded Fe-N single atom catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tetracycline antibiotics are produced and used in large quantities in my country, and lack corresponding emission standards. High concentrations of tetracycline antibiotics have certain lethal and sublethal effects on organisms in the aquatic environment, seriously affecting the normal growth of aquatic organisms. Fenton-like catalytic oxidation technology and photocatalytic technology based on PMS are increasingly being explored. Traditional catalysts for the degradation of antibiotics mainly use metals, metal oxides, metal-organic frameworks and other materials as carriers, and load metal nanoparticles and dissolved metal ions as active ingredients. However, traditional catalysts for the degradation of antibiotics have problems such as high metal loading, high cost, and low metal utilization.

[0003] Sugarcane is my country's primary sugar crop. Bagasse, the residue left after sugar extraction and crushing, is one of the country's largest agricultural waste streams. Approximately 50% of the fiber in the bagasse left after sugar extraction can be used to make paper. However, some of the pith lacks interwoven strength and is removed before pulping. This pith, the residue remaining after sugar production and pulping and papermaking, accounts for approximately 30% of the bagasse. Currently, pith is primarily burned as fuel to recover heat, resulting in low utilization rates and economic added value, leading to a waste of resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the background technology, the inventors are committed to proposing a low-cost catalyst loaded with metal active ingredients, and finally obtained a sugarcane pith thin carbon network loaded Fe-N single atom catalyst.

The obtained catalyst has a good photocatalytic decomposition effect on tetracycline antibiotics, which not only provides new insights into the exploration of single-atom catalysts for the photodegradation of phenolic substances, but also provides a new idea for the resource utilization of sugarcane pith.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] A method for preparing a sugarcane pith thin carbon mesh-supported Fe-N single-atom catalyst comprises the following steps:

[0034] (1) Primary hydrothermal reaction

[0035] Immerse 20-100 mesh sugarcane pith particles in a mixture of FeCl3 and ethanol / hydrochloric acid. Allow the pith and ethanol / hydrochloric acid solution to fully mix at room temperature for 2-4 hours. This enhances the hydrochloric acid's ability to decompose the pith cell walls during the high-temperature, high-pressure hydrothermal reaction. The mass ratio of pith to FeCl3 is 1:4 to 3:13.5; the volume ratio of ethanol to hydrochloric acid is 4:1 to 9:1; the concentration of the FeCl3 / ethanol / hydrochloric acid solution is 0.05-0.5 mol / L, and the concentration of the hydrochloric acid is 1-6 mol / L.

[0036] The reaction in this step was carried out in a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined stainless steel autoclave. After standing, the autoclave was sealed and placed in an oven at 140°C so that the absolute temperature in the autoclave reached 413.15 Kelvin. After heating for 2 h, it was naturally cooled to room temperature.

[0037] In this hydrothermal reaction, the cellulose and hemicellulose in the sugarcane pith cell wall are hydrolyzed and separated, and the sugarcane pith cells form a plasmolysis state, which makes Fe 3+ It can more easily enter sugarcane medullary cells, providing a large amount of Fe 3+ Provides chelation sites.

[0038] (2) Washing and drying

[0039] The reactant obtained in step (1) is washed and dried.

[0040] Washing is done by centrifugation, and ethanol or water can be used for washing until the supernatant is colorless. 3+ is removed to avoid the subsequent agglomeration of Fe nanoparticles during high-temperature carbonization.

[0041] (3) Secondary hydrothermal reaction

[0042] The dried product obtained in step (2) is added to a urea solution for reaction, wherein the mass ratio of sugarcane pith to urea is 1:4 to 1:6; the reaction temperature is 80 to 100°C, and the reaction time is 12 to 24 hours.

[0043] In this hydrothermal reaction, urea provides sufficient nitrogen source to enable the formation of a stable Fe-NC structure after subsequent high-temperature carbonization. The single-atom Fe active sites can be effectively increased. The single Fe atom in the carbon support is the active center of the catalyst. The introduction of single Fe atoms can significantly improve the electron transfer ability and chemical reaction activity of the carbon support.

[0044] (4) Carbonization

[0045] The reaction product of step (3) is heated and carbonized under an inert atmosphere.

[0046] Carbonization temperature is 600~800℃, and carbonization time is 2~4h.

[0047] Sugarcane pith is composed of numerous fiber bundles interwoven into a network, forming a complex fibrous web. The pith cell wall is characterized by its primary composition of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, giving it high strength and toughness. Using sugarcane pith as a carbon support, its high surface area, tunable pore structure, and excellent thermal stability facilitate the chelation of single Fe atoms and their formation of an Fe-NC coordination structure with an external nitrogen source (urea). Ultimately, after two hydrothermal reactions, the Fe atoms are anchored on the thin pith carbon network, forming an iron single-atom catalyst.

[0048] (5) Crushing or grinding

[0049] The carbonized product of step (4) is fully ground to obtain a sugarcane pith thin carbon network loaded Fe-N single atom catalyst (Fe-SAC).

[0050] The invention mainly utilizes agricultural waste sugarcane pith as raw material, has simple process operation, and is green and environmentally friendly in preparation method. It also realizes efficient degradation of tetracycline antibiotics under simulated light and efficient utilization of renewable resource waste.

[0051] In order to illustrate the present invention more clearly, the following examples are provided for detailed description. Example 1

[0052] The preparation method of sugarcane pith thin carbon mesh supported Fe-N single atom catalyst comprises the following steps:

[0053] (1) Primary hydrothermal reaction: The crushed sugarcane pith was further sieved into 20-100 mesh. 3 g of sugarcane pith was then immersed in 50 mL of a 0.05 M FeCl3 anhydrous ethanol / hydrochloric acid (1 mol / L) mixture, where the volume ratio of ethanol to HCl was 4:1. The mixture was placed in a 150 mL polytetrafluoroethylene-lined stainless steel autoclave. After standing at room temperature for 2 h, the autoclave was sealed and placed in a 140°C oven until the absolute temperature in the autoclave reached 413.15 Kelvin. The mixture was heated for 2 h and then cooled naturally to room temperature.

[0054] (2) Washing and drying: The sugarcane pith after the hydrothermal treatment was taken out, washed by centrifugation with water and ethanol until the supernatant was colorless, and dried at 80°C for 12 h.

[0055] (3) Secondary hydrothermal reaction: The dried sugarcane pith was immersed in 100 ml of urea aqueous solution for 24 h (mass ratio of urea to sugarcane pith = 4:1).

[0056] (4) Carbonization: The sugarcane pith treated with FeCl3 / urea was placed in a quartz boat, transferred to a tube furnace under 60 sccm of nitrogen, and then heated at 5°C / min. - 1 Heat to 800°C and maintain for 2 h.

[0057] (5) Pulverization: The high-temperature carbonized product was fully ground in an agate mortar to obtain a black powder (expressed as Fe-SAC). Figure 2 This is a TEM image of the Fe-SAC prepared in this example. From the image, it can be observed that the Fe-N single-atom catalyst supported by the prepared sugarcane pith thin carbon network forms lattice fringes of graphite carbon, and the single-atom Fe is anchored in the graphite lattice.

[0058] Figure 1 The XRD comparison diagram of the sugarcane pith thin carbon mesh supported Fe-N single atom catalyst obtained in this example and other catalysts (C represents pure sugarcane pith carbon catalyst, CN represents nitrogen (urea) doped sugarcane pith carbon catalyst, Fe-C represents sugarcane pith supported ferric chloride catalyst) is shown in FIG. Figure 1 It can be seen that the prepared sugarcane pith carbon-supported iron single-atom catalyst exhibits two broad diffraction peaks in the ranges of 20.0-30.0° and 40.0-50.0°, corresponding to the (002) and (101) crystal planes of graphitic carbon, respectively. In addition, the other samples all exhibit a sharp peak at 2θ = 26.4°, corresponding to the (002) of graphitic carbon, indicating that a certain amount of graphitization has occurred in the amorphous carbon. Only diffraction peaks belonging to C and SiO2 were observed in the different catalysts, and no diffraction peaks of the Fe element appeared, indicating that the Fe loading was extremely small and uniformly dispersed.

[0059] Figure 3 TEM and energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDS) of the sugarcane pith thin carbon network supported Fe-N single atom catalyst obtained in this example. It can be seen from the figure that there are no Fe nanoclusters on the carbon-nitrogen base, but it is clearly proved that the Fe, N and C elements are uniformly distributed on the entire Fe-SAC. The EDS element mapping results further confirm the existence of uniformly dispersed N and Fe on the carbon skeleton. Figure 1 The XRD results are consistent with those of .

[0060] Figure 4 and 5The high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) image of the Fe-N single atom catalyst obtained in the present embodiment is combined with spherical aberration to verify the existence form of the single atom again. The Fe atom in the Fe-SAC catalyst is detected by aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (AC-HAADF-STEM), and many dispersed white spots are found in other areas of the Fe-SAC, which indicates that Fe atoms are formed therein.

[0061] The Fe-N single atom catalyst obtained in the present embodiment is used in the degradation experiment of tetracycline hydrochloride.

[0062] In a 100 ml beaker, 50 ml of 10 mg / l tetracycline hydrochloride solution is added and the Ph is adjusted to about 7, and then 0.5 g / L of Fe-SAC catalyst is added. After irradiation for 2 h with a 200-400 mW / cm² xenon lamp (420 nm filter), the photocatalytic removal rate is 96.8-100% (as shown in Table 1). Figure 6
