Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of advanced oxidation catalysis of heterogeneous catalysts, specifically relating to an advanced oxidation catalyst based on Mn3N2 and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Antibiotics play a vital role in human health, but they are absorbed and transformed in organisms, then excreted as metabolites, with some remaining in their original form. Even after treatment, trace residues can still enter the aquatic environment and water cycle, posing a significant threat to human health if consumed in contaminated water long-term. Therefore, thoroughly removing antibiotics from wastewater has become a new challenge. In current research, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have attracted considerable attention due to their high degradation rates. This method primarily utilizes the generated reactive oxygen species, such as sulfate radicals (SO4-·), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and singlet oxygen (…). 1 O2) completes the degradation process of organic matter.

[0003] Transition metals can effectively activate persulfate to degrade antibiotics, offering advantages such as low cost, low energy consumption, and ease of promotion. Compared to manganese oxides, manganese nitrides possess advantages such as variable valence states, flexible electronic structures and electron mobility, and less metal ion leakage. However, research on manganese nitride Mn3N2 in advanced oxidation technologies is relatively rare. Furthermore, common synthesis methods for Mn3N2 include magnetron sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, and metal nitriding, all of which rely on large-scale equipment. More importantly, the products obtained by these methods have relatively smooth surfaces and small specific surface areas, which are not conducive to providing abundant reaction sites and catalytic sites for catalytic reactions. Therefore, designing a simple method for preparing Mn3N2 to increase the specific surface area of ​​the synthesized material is of great significance for enhancing its application value in advanced catalytic oxidation technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an advanced oxidation catalyst based on Mn3N2 and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems of poor efficiency, small catalytic activity specific surface area and metal ion dissolution in the reaction process of existing manganese-based catalysts, while simplifying and optimizing the complex synthesis process of Mn3N2.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing an advanced oxidation catalyst based on Mn3N2, comprising:

[0007] S1: Solution A is prepared by mixing N,N dimethylformamide with ethanol;

[0008] S2: Add manganese chloride (heated to remove water of crystallization) and polyvinylpyrrolidone to solution A, stir until completely dissolved, and obtain solution B;

[0009] S3: Add 5,10,15,20-tetracarboxyphenylporphyrin to solution B and stir until completely dissolved to obtain solution C. React solution C under water bath heating conditions to obtain liquid D.

[0011] S5: Heat-treat powder sample E in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain Mn3N2.

[0012] Preferably, in S1, N,N dimethylformamide and ethanol are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:3 to 1:1.

[0013] Preferably, in step S2, 0.5 g to 1.0 g of manganese chloride and 10 mg to 20 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone are dissolved in 40 mL to 70 mL of solvent A and stirred until completely dissolved to obtain solution B.

[0014] Preferably, in step S3, 12 mg to 24 mg of 5,10,15,20-tetracarboxyphenylporphyrin is dissolved in solution B and stirred until completely dissolved to obtain solution C.

[0015] Preferably, in step S3, liquid D is obtained by reacting in a water bath at 50°C to 80°C for 20 to 30 minutes.

[0016] Preferably, in step S4, 10 mg to 20 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone is added to solution D and stirred to dissolve. Then, a hydrothermal reaction is carried out at 80°C for 18 to 24 hours, followed by centrifugation and drying to obtain powder sample E.

[0017] Preferably, after adding 10 mg to 20 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone to solution D and stirring to dissolve it, the solution is transferred to a polytetrafluoroethylene liner, sealed and locked in a stainless steel hydrothermal reactor, and subjected to a hydrothermal reaction at 80°C to 100°C for 18 to 24 hours.

[0018] Preferably, in step S5, the powder sample E is placed in a ceramic boat and heat-treated in a tube furnace for 2-3 hours under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain Mn3N2.

[0019] Preferably, in step S5, heat treatment is performed under an argon or nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 500°C to 650°C.

[0020] This application also discloses an advanced oxidation catalyst based on Mn3N2, which is prepared by any of the preparation methods described above.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The method for preparing Mn3N2 provided by this invention involves two steps: low-temperature water bath pre-coordination and hydrothermal synthesis. PVP is added in batches during the low-temperature water bath and hydrothermal stages, respectively protecting the low-dimensional crystal nuclei and preventing nanoparticle growth. Calcination yields a highly dispersed Mn3N2 nanoparticle catalyst with a high specific surface area. The Mn3N2 catalyst prepared by this method exhibits high efficiency, a large catalytically active specific surface area, strong nitrogen atom anchoring effect on manganese ions, and minimal metal ion dissolution. Furthermore, the synthesis of Mn3N2 is simple and easy to perform, without relying on large equipment, avoiding the dependence on large equipment in conventional magnetron sputtering, vapor deposition, and metal nitriding methods. The synthesis method is simpler and safer, and the synthesized Mn3N2 has a larger specific surface area, providing more abundant catalytically active sites.

[0023] The Mn3N2 synthesized in this invention exhibits high electronic mobility, high efficiency in catalyzing the decomposition of PMS to generate active oxygen, and nitrogen atoms can anchor manganese ions, effectively inhibiting the dissolution of manganese ions, improving the reusability of the catalyst, and avoiding secondary pollution.
