Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology, and more specifically to an optical fiber material for removing chlorophenol from water. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industry and agriculture, chlorophenol compounds are widely used as chemical raw materials in pesticides, herbicides, flame retardants, wood preservatives, dyes, and personal care products. Chlorophenol compounds are structurally stable but possess high toxicity, lipid solubility, and are difficult to biodegrade naturally, easily accumulating in the environment and transferring to organisms, posing a serious threat to human life. In response to these circumstances, relevant departments have listed chlorophenol compounds as priority pollutants for water pollution control. Therefore, developing methods and efficient, environmentally friendly materials for the removal of chlorophenols from water bodies is of great significance.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for removing chlorophenol from water include adsorption, membrane separation, biological methods, electrochemical oxidation, and photocatalysis. Adsorption and membrane separation methods cannot completely remove chlorophenol, only transferring it, which can easily cause secondary pollution. Biological methods decompose pollutants through the metabolism of microorganisms; however, this method is difficult to degrade high concentrations of toxic organic matter and has a slow dechlorination rate. While electrochemical oxidation has high degradation efficiency for chlorophenol, it is energy-intensive and costly, and cannot remove chloride ions from the decomposition products of chlorophenol. Photocatalysis, on the other hand, is a novel pollutant treatment technology developed in recent years. Due to its advantages of low cost, low pollution, and high reaction efficiency, it is widely used in pollutant degradation. Immobilized photocatalysis technology, in particular, overcomes the disadvantages of suspended photocatalysis systems, such as easy aggregation of photocatalysts, difficulty in recovery, and light-limited reaction systems. Therefore, immobilized photocatalysis technology has attracted widespread attention from researchers in the field of wastewater treatment.

[0004] Currently, the supports used to immobilize photocatalysts mainly include inorganic materials, organic materials, and magnetically separable supports. Among these materials, optical fibers are one of the most effective supports due to their excellent light transmission performance, high light energy utilization efficiency, strong corrosion resistance, and ease of photocatalyst adhesion to the fiber surface. Although photocatalytic materials constructed using optical fiber supports can achieve continuous and stable removal of toxic organic pollutants, the degradation efficiency of organic pollutants is significantly affected by the performance of the photocatalyst film coated on the optical fiber surface. This results in the current low efficiency of photocatalyst-coated optical fibers in degrading phenolic toxic organic pollutants. More importantly, in the photocatalytic degradation of chlorophenol wastewater, chlorophenol is converted into H2O, CO2, and chloride ions, which existing immobilized photocatalyst materials cannot remove. Due to the strong corrosiveness of chloride ions, direct discharge without treatment can harm crops, metals, building materials, and human health. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber material for removing chlorophenol from water, so as to solve the problems of low efficiency in degrading chlorophenol toxic organic pollutants by optical fibers coated with photocatalysts and the inability to remove chloride ions formed by degradation at the same time.

The precipitate was then obtained by centrifugation, and the precipitate was washed by centrifugation multiple times and dried to obtain the Ti3C2Tx.

[0016] Preferably, the chloride ion adsorbent material is prepared by the following method:

[0017] Step 1: Trimethylbenzene and zirconium oxychloride octahydrate are added to a mixed solution of N,N-dimethylformamide and formic acid and allowed to dissolve completely; wherein the mass ratio of trimethylbenzene and zirconium oxychloride octahydrate is (1-1.5):(4-5); then, the dissolved mixture is placed in an autoclave and reacted at 130-150°C for 36-48 h; subsequently, the reaction product is washed multiple times with N,N-dimethylformamide and anhydrous acetone, and dried to obtain MOF-808 material;

The holes and electrons migrate to the surface of the photocatalytic layer and undergo a redox reaction with adsorbed water molecules, generating highly oxidizing oxygen-containing free radicals. These free radicals then decompose chlorophenol, a toxic organic pollutant, converting it into carbon dioxide, water, and chloride ions. The formed chloride ions are adsorbed by a spiral-shaped chloride ion adsorbent material surrounding the photocatalytic layer, ultimately achieving complete removal of chlorophenol from the water.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Unless otherwise specified in the specific circumstances, the numerical ranges listed herein include upper and lower limits, as well as all integers and fractions within that range, but are not limited to the specific values ​​listed when the range is defined.

[0038] I. An optical fiber material for removing chlorophenol from water

[0039] The optical fiber material of this invention is composed, from the inside out, of an optical fiber core 1, an optical fiber cladding 2, a photocatalytic layer 3, and a chloride ion adsorption material 4; for example... Figures 1-3 As shown, the fiber core is air, the fiber cladding is quartz, and the photocatalytic layer is Ti3C2Tx / BiOBr-OV, covering the outer surface of the fiber cladding. The chloride ion adsorption material is MOF-808-EDTA fiber, spiral-shaped, and located outside the photocatalytic layer. One end of the fiber core is the beam incident end; the incident beam 5 can be transmitted into the fiber core through the beam incident end, then refracted into the fiber cladding, and finally refracted to the photocatalytic layer.

[0040] To achieve complete removal of chlorophenol from water, this invention conducted in-depth research and found that while existing catalytic materials can degrade chlorophenol, they cannot handle the chloride ions formed during chlorophenol degradation. Furthermore, simply combining chloride-adsorbing materials with chlorophenol-degrading materials might negatively impact their individual performance, leading to a situation where the benefits outweigh the benefits. Therefore, this invention designs optical fiber materials that can efficiently degrade chlorophenol while simultaneously handling chloride ions. The combination of the photocatalyst and the chloride-adsorbing material does not affect their individual performance, ensuring that the photocatalyst efficiently degrades chlorophenol and the chloride-adsorbing material efficiently adsorbs chloride ions.

The precipitate was separated by centrifugation and collected, then dried to obtain the Ti3C2Tx / BiOBr-OV. The mass ratio of BiOBr-OV to Ti3C2Tx was (0.1–0.3):(0.01–0.03). Controlling the amounts of BiOBr-OV and Ti3C2Tx within this range ensures the optimal combination and avoids affecting the catalytic effect. Therefore, the mass ratio of BiOBr-OV to Ti3C2Tx can be 0.1:0.01, 0.2:0.02, 0.3:0.03, etc., as well as all ranges and sub-ranges between these values.

[0049] Step 2: Activate the MOF-808 material obtained in Step 1 at 120-150℃, add the activated MOF-808 and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate to water and mix, heat to 60-80℃ and react for 24-36 h, centrifuge, wash and dry to obtain MOF-808-EDTA; wherein, the mass ratio of activated MOF-808 to disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate is (0.05-0.1):(0.8-1);

[0050] Step 3: Dissolve MOF-808-EDTA in N-methylpyrrolidone, add polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethersulfone, and continuously stir at 60-70°C to obtain MOF-808-EDTA spinning solution; wherein, the mass ratio of MOF-808-EDTA, polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethersulfone is (0.1-0.3):(1.5-2):(4.5-5);

[0051] Step 4: The MOF-808-EDTA spinning solution is used to form filaments through a spinning device, and then passed through a mold to form a spiral chloride ion adsorbent material.

[0101] III. Performance Comparison

[0102] To characterize the degradation performance of p-chlorophenol, removal experiments were conducted on 2,4,6-trichlorophenol wastewater with a concentration of 100 mg / L under the conditions of 35℃ and pH 7. The catalysts used are as follows:

[0103] (1) The photocatalytic optical fibers prepared in Examples 10-12 were used alone for removal experiments;

[0104] (2) The chloride ion adsorbent materials prepared in Examples 13-15 were used alone for removal experiments;

[0105] (3) The photocatalytic optical fibers obtained in Examples 10-12 and the chloride ion adsorption materials obtained in Examples 13-15 were not coupled and assembled, and the two were placed independently in chlorophenol water for removal experiments;

[0106] (4) The optical fiber materials prepared in Examples 16-18 were used to conduct removal experiments.

[0107] The change in 2,4,6-trichlorophenol concentration during photocatalytic degradation was detected, such as... Figure 4As shown, at 10 hours, the removal rate of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol wastewater using only the chloride ion adsorbent material was 6.75%, indicating that the chloride ion adsorbent materials prepared in Examples 13-15 could only adsorb a small amount of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and could not degrade it. The removal rate of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol wastewater using only the photocatalytic optical fiber prepared in Examples 10-12 was 65.6%. Although this degradation effect was better than that of using the chloride ion adsorbent material alone, the overall degradation effect was still relatively low. However, this also proves that the photocatalytic optical fiber prepared in Examples 10-12 can degrade some chlorophenols. The photocatalytic optical fibers obtained in Examples 10-12 and the chloride ion adsorption materials obtained in Examples 13-15 were not coupled and were placed independently in chlorophenol-containing water. The removal rate of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol wastewater was 79.05%. This indicates that the combined use of these two materials can indeed improve the removal efficiency of chlorophenol to a certain extent. It is speculated that this is because the photocatalytic optical fiber generates chloride ions during the degradation of chlorophenol, and the chloride ion adsorption material can adsorb these generated chloride ions, thereby promoting the catalytic degradation of chlorophenol by the photocatalytic optical fiber. The optical fiber materials prepared in Examples 16-18 achieved a removal rate of 96.7% for 2,4,6-trichlorophenol wastewater. This demonstrates that whether or not the photocatalytic optical fiber and the chloride ion adsorption material are coupled has a significant impact on the removal efficiency of chlorophenol. Figure 4 The data shows that the degradation effect after coupling is significantly better than that without coupling, which proves that the optical fiber material described in this invention has a higher degradation efficiency for 2,4,6-trichlorophenol wastewater. Furthermore, the coupling between the photocatalytic optical fiber and the chloride ion adsorption material does not reduce its degradation effect on chlorophenol, but rather improves it.

[0108] The changes in chloride ion concentration during photocatalytic degradation are as follows: Figure 5As shown in the figures, during the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by the photocatalytic optical fibers prepared in Examples 10-12, the chloride ion concentration continuously increased, reaching 1005.5 μmol / L after 12 hours. This indicates that the photocatalytic optical fibers prepared in Examples 10-12 can only degrade chlorophenol and cannot handle the chloride ions formed during chlorophenol degradation. This also proves that the photocatalytic optical fibers prepared in Examples 10-12 do not have an adsorption effect on chloride ions. During the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by the chloride ion adsorbent materials prepared in Examples 13-15, the chloride ion concentration remained unchanged at 0 μmol / L, indicating that the chloride ion adsorbent materials prepared in Examples 13-15 cannot degrade 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. The photocatalytic optical fibers obtained in Examples 10-12 and the chloride ion adsorbent materials obtained in Examples 13-15 were placed independently in chlorophenol water without coupling. During the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, the chloride ion concentration first increased and then decreased, dropping to 380.5 μmol / L at 12 hours. This indicates that although the two materials can adsorb chloride ions to a certain extent when they are not coupled, this adsorption effect is relatively limited. The chloride ion concentration decreased at 4 hours, but the decrease was not large and was relatively gradual, which also indicates that the chloride ion adsorbent material was not effective at this time, and the adsorption capacity of the chloride ion adsorbent material was gradually approaching saturation. In the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by the optical fiber materials prepared in Examples 16-18, the chloride ion concentration initially increased, indicating that a large number of chloride ions were formed during the degradation process. However, the chloride ion concentration then rapidly decreased after reaching a low peak, indicating that the optical fiber material was simultaneously degrading 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and adsorbing a large number of chloride ions. This resulted in the chloride ion concentration dropping to 34.5 μmol / L after 12 hours. This demonstrates that the optical fiber material can effectively remove chloride ions formed during the degradation process while simultaneously degrading chlorophenol, and that the degradation and adsorption processes are simultaneous and unaffected. This allows the optical fiber material to completely remove chlorophenol from the water. Furthermore, after 4 hours, the chloride ion concentration decreased significantly and gradually approached zero, indicating that the adsorption of chloride ions by the optical fiber material continued throughout the 12 hours and did not reach saturation. Compared to the uncoupled experiment, this further proves that coupling the process enables the optical fiber material to have a higher chloride ion adsorption capacity.
