Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic matter catalytic degradation technology, and relates to an extraction-coordinated photocatalytic system, specifically a method for extraction coupled with photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants. Background Technology
[0002] While the widespread use of tetracycline (TC) worldwide has brought medical convenience, the water pollution and human health problems it causes have become a significant challenge. Recently, a research team led by Yong Guo et al., through theoretical calculations, revealed the role of superoxide radicals (∙O2) in the TC activation process. - The lowest energy barrier was observed (43.4 kcal / mol), followed by photogenerated holes (h). + (50.1 kcal / mol). Therefore, the focus is on ∙O2, which plays a dominant role in the degradation of TC. - Designing efficient photocatalysts is of great significance.
[0003] Currently, multiple studies have indicated that Fe(II) can effectively activate the production of O2·2O2·2O3 ... - This free radical can not only directly participate in the degradation of pollutants as the main active ingredient, but also generate ・OH through single-electron activation, thus participating in the reaction together. Simultaneously, the extraordinary electronic structure of the ultra-small metal clusters allows its metal sites to effectively induce photogenerated electrons (electrons). - Directed transfer occurs. Therefore, trinuclear iron clusters (Fe3) are prepared to replace noble metal co-catalysts, promoting photogenerated electrons. - The transfer reduces itself to Fe(II) while simultaneously promoting the transfer of ∙O2. - The formation of Fe3 enables efficient degradation of TC. However, the instability of its structure due to changes in the valence state of Fe3 is a problem that urgently needs to be solved.
[0004] Compared to traditional heterojunctions, S-type heterojunctions overcome the problem of limited carrier transfer capability. Their internal electric field induces weak photogenerated carrier recombination, significantly preserving two types of strong photogenerated carriers. - and h + It exhibits excellent redox capabilities. Its unique layered composite material, due to its "face-to-face" contact form, is conducive to the formation of heterostructures and can provide a good attachment carrier for Fe3, which is expected to solve the problem of Fe3's own unstable valence state.
[0005] Furthermore, the two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) in the S-type heterojunction is compatible with the band gap structure of the ZnIn2S4 nanosheets, and the two are in close contact to form an S-type heterojunction. Therefore, leveraging the synergistic advantages of the layered S-type ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 heterojunction support and the Fe3 cocatalyst holds promise for constructing a highly efficient photocatalytic system.
[0006] Finally, although photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) has great application potential, the limited dispersibility of solid photocatalysts in aqueous solutions inhibits their contact with organic substrates, significantly reducing the reaction rate. Ionic liquids (ILs), as "green solvents," can not only extract TC from the aqueous phase at room temperature and pressure, but also serve as a dispersion and stabilization system for photocatalytic reaction media and photocatalysts. Introducing ionic liquids into photocatalytic degradation systems is expected to improve the degradation efficiency of tetracycline. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Specifically, the preparation method of the Fe3-ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst includes the following steps:
[0020] Step 1: Preparation of g-C3N4 nanosheets:
[0021] Urea was placed in a lidded crucible and kept at 540°C for 3 hours. After cooling, yellow blocky g-C3N4 was obtained. Then the lid of the lidded crucible was opened and kept at 500°C for 2 hours. After cooling, g-C3N4 nanosheets were obtained.

Meanwhile, the layered ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4S heterojunction support is attached with a targeted trinuclear iron cluster (Fe3) cocatalyst, which not only endows the material with a larger specific surface area and abundant micropores, but also regulates the generation of tetracycline degradation active species.

[0039] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0040] The structural features of the Fe3-ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst of the present invention are as follows: g-C3N4 nanosheets are dispersed and attached to 3D flower-like ZnIn2S4 nanosheets and tightly bonded together, generating a strong interfacial coupling effect to form a ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4S-type heterojunction support. During the preparation process, pH control can prevent the self-aggregation of ZnIn2S4 nanosheets, allowing them to self-assemble into a 3D flower-like structure. Then, Fe3 cocatalyst is loaded onto the ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4S-type heterojunction support, thus forming the Fe3-ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst.
[0041] The degradation mechanism of this invention is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, a π-π interaction exists between the [BMIM]PF6 imidazole ring and the tetracycline benzene ring, which promotes the extraction of tetracycline from solution into the ionic liquid (IL) phase. Then, under visible light excitation, the optimal-performing and stable Fe3-ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst (FZCN-3) performs a photocatalytic degradation reaction of tetracycline. Ultimately, the tetracycline content in the IL phase decreases, breaking the extraction equilibrium and promoting the continuous entry of tetracycline from solution into the IL phase, forming a continuous extraction-coupled photocatalytic reaction system, thereby achieving the deep conversion of tetracycline.
[0042] It should be noted that all raw materials used in this invention, unless otherwise specified, are those known in the art. For example, the [BMIM]PF6 ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid) is a product known in the prior art, with CAS number 174501-64-5, preferably produced by Bide Pharmaceuticals, with catalog number BD32294, and a standard purity of 98%.

[0073] Verification of the effects of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4:
[0074] (E) Dark Adsorption Experiment: 15 mg of g-C3N4 nanosheets prepared in Example 1, Fe3-ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3, ZnIn2S4 nanosheets prepared in Comparative Example 1, and ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 S-type heterojunction supports prepared in Comparative Examples 2 to 4 were weighed and placed in 50 mL of tetracycline aqueous solution (50 mg / L). The mixtures were stirred in the dark for 30 min to reach adsorption equilibrium. The results were plotted... Figure 5 .
[0075] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that, under constant conditions, changing the composite ratio of binary or ternary composite materials results in different dark adsorption performance of the photocatalysts for tetracycline. The adsorption capacities of FZCN-3, FZCN-1, and FZCN-5 prepared in Examples 1, 2, and 3 are comparable, and all are higher than those of ZIS prepared in Comparative Example 1, CN prepared in Example 1, ZCN-4 prepared in Comparative Example 3, and ZCN-6 prepared in Comparative Example 4.
[0076] (F) Photocatalytic activity experiment: 15 mg of g-C3N4 nanosheets prepared in Example 1, Fe3-ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3, ZnIn2S4 nanosheets prepared in Comparative Example 1, and ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 S-type heterojunction supports prepared in Comparative Examples 2 to 4 were weighed and placed in 50 mL of tetracycline aqueous solution (50 mg / L). A 300 W xenon lamp was used as the light source, and light below 420 nm was filtered out. The photocatalytic degradation reaction was carried out for 120 min under stirring conditions. The results were plotted. Figure 6 .
[0077] Depend on Figure 6It is evident that, under constant conditions, changing the composite ratio of binary or ternary composite materials results in different photocatalytic degradation performances of tetracycline. In the binary composite material, the ZCN-4 prepared in Comparative Example 3 exhibited the best photocatalytic degradation effect when 40 mg of CN was added. Subsequently, when 30 mg of Fe3 was further introduced using ZCN-4 as a support, the photocatalytic degradation effect of the ternary composite material FZCN-3 prepared in Example 1 was further enhanced.
[0078] Optimization of extraction time for tetracycline via ultrasonic extraction with ionic liquids:
[0079] Based on the above results, this invention determines that an extraction-coupled photocatalytic degradation system for tetracycline can be constructed based on the Fe3-ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst (denoted as FZCN-3) prepared in Example 1. Before constructing the system, it is necessary to determine the ultrasonic extraction time of the ionic liquid. This invention designs an optimization experiment for the ultrasonic extraction time of tetracycline, the specific process of which is as follows: Tetracycline (5 mg) is dissolved in 150 mL of a 2:1 volume ratio of deionized water / acetone (dispersant) mixed solvent to obtain a tetracycline solution (33 mg / L). Then, 15 mL of the tetracycline solution is extracted, and 7 mL of [BMIM]PF6 ionic liquid (extractant) is added to the 15 mL tetracycline solution. After stirring evenly, the solution is divided into four groups, and ultrasonically treated at a frequency of 40 kHz and a power of 120 W for 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, and 30 min, respectively. The experimental results are plotted... Figure 7 .
[0080] Depend on Figure 7 It can be seen that when other conditions are constant, the extraction performance of [BMIM]PF6 ionic liquid for tetracycline varies with the change of ultrasonic extraction time. When the ultrasonic extraction time is 10 min, the extraction rate reaches its peak, and then the extraction rate decreases with the extension of time. Therefore, this invention finally determined that 10 min is the time required for extraction equilibrium.
[0081] Example 4:
[0082] This embodiment provides a method for extraction coupled with photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants. The method uses the Fe3-ZnIn2S4 / g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst prepared in Example 1 as the photocatalyst and [BMIM]PF6 ionic liquid as the extractant to catalytically degrade tetracycline in the system.
[0083] The specific method is as follows: Tetracycline (5 mg) was dissolved in 150 mL of a 2:1 volume ratio of deionized water / acetone (dispersant) to prepare a tetracycline solution (33 mg / L); then 15 mL of the tetracycline solution was extracted, and 5 mL of [BMIM]PF6 ionic liquid (extractant) was added to the 15 mL tetracycline solution. After stirring evenly, the mixture was ultrasonicated at a frequency of 40 kHz and a power of 120 W for 10 min to reach extraction equilibrium. Subsequently, 5 mg of FZCN-3 photocatalyst was added, and a 300 W xenon lamp was used as the light source to filter out light below 420 nm. The photocatalytic degradation reaction was carried out for 120 min under stirring conditions.
[0084] In this embodiment, starting from 0.5 h of the photocatalytic degradation reaction, 3 mL of reaction solution was drawn every half hour, filtered through a 0.45 μm syringe filter, and the absorbance of the remaining tetracycline was analyzed using a ZY-902 UV-Vis spectrophotometer at the maximum absorption wavelength of 357 nm.

[0088] This embodiment provides a method for extraction coupled with photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants. This method is basically the same as that in Example 4, except that the amount of [BMIM]PF6 ionic liquid added is 10 mL.
[0089] Comparative Example 5:
[0090] This comparative example provides a method for the single photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants, which is basically the same as that in Example 4, except that [BMIM]PF6 ionic liquid is not added.

[0092] Table 1. Degradation performance of tetracycline by the extraction-coupled photocatalytic system
[0093]
[0094] As shown in Table 1, when other conditions are constant, changing the amount of ionic liquid alters the extraction-coupled photocatalytic degradation performance of tetracycline. When using 7 mL of [BMIM]PF6 ionic liquid (Example 7), the extraction-coupled photocatalytic system exhibits the best degradation performance for tetracycline, reaching 83.83% within 60 min, which is 2.12 times that without the extractant. When the illumination time is extended to 120 min, the extraction-coupled photocatalytic degradation rate increases to 90.5%.
