Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of soil remediation, and specifically relates to a preparation method of a zinc oxide / indium oxide porous microsphere photocatalyst and an application thereof in degrading organic pollutants in soil. Background Art

[0002] Soil is a core component of the ecological environment and one of the main resources for human survival. It is highly sensitive to environmental changes. In recent years, soil environmental quality has deteriorated and soil pollution has continued to intensify. According to the types of soil pollutants, it can be divided into organic pollution and inorganic pollution. Among them, soil organic pollution refers to the fact that after toxic and harmful organic substances enter the soil, their quantity and speed exceed the speed of soil purification, destroying the natural dynamic balance, and making the accumulation process of pollutants gradually dominate, thus leading to the disorder of the normal function of the soil, the decline of soil quality, and affecting the growth and development of crops, as well as the decline of yield and quality. After organic pollution enters the soil, it can endanger the growth of crops and the survival of soil organisms. For example, if diphenyl ether is contained in farmland, it is easy to cause large-scale death of crops. After animals or humans come into contact with contaminated soil, it seriously threatens their health.

[0003] For the remediation technology of organic polluted soil, it mainly includes thermal desorption technology, photodegradation technology, soil leaching technology, and bioremediation technology. Among them, photodegradation technology has the advantages of non-toxicity, rapid and efficient, good selectivity, and low energy consumption. It is one of the more actively studied methods for treating volatile organic compounds. For example, Chinese patent CN111282591A discloses a Sb2S3 / AgI / Ag / BON photocatalyst for soil remediation, which realizes the strategy of promoting the separation of photogenerated carriers by the accompanying electric field of photocatalytic materials by constructing a nanocomposite structure. The micropotential of the metal-semiconductor / core-shell nanocomposite structure with a metal as the core driven by electromagnetic induction is used to enhance the charge separation in the semiconductor photocatalyst, and an external magnetic field is applied to a conventional photocatalytic reactor device to achieve the improvement of the performance of photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. Chinese patent CN108421821A discloses a method for degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil using a cotton straw biochar-based titanium dioxide photocatalyst, wherein cotton straw biochar is prepared by using cotton straw; the biochar is added to a mixed solution of distilled water and anhydrous ethanol, ultrasonically treated for 1 hour, titanium dioxide is added, and stirred evenly, the mixed solution is transferred to a hydrothermal reactor, and the hydrothermal reactor is placed in a homogeneous reactor, the temperature of the homogeneous reactor is set to 120-210°C, the reaction is continued for 12-24 hours, cooled, centrifuged, and the mixture is transferred to a hydrothermal reactor. The lower sediment is washed with distilled water, dried and ground to obtain cotton straw biochar-based titanium dioxide photocatalyst; the biochar prepared from flower straw is loose and porous, with a large specific surface area, and the cotton straw biochar-based titanium dioxide photocatalyst is applied to the soil, which not only improves the soil texture, but also can adsorb and fix polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the soil due to the distribution of various groups such as phenolic hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups and acid anhydrides on the surface of the biochar; and coupled with the photocatalytic oxidation effect of titanium dioxide, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules can be degraded into pollution-free small molecules.

[0004] However, the photocatalytic materials used for degrading organic matter in the prior art still have problems such as serious photogenerated electron-hole recombination, low specific surface area, complex preparation process, unstable structure, low degradation efficiency, etc., which directly limit their large-scale promotion and application. In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a composite photocatalyst with good adsorption performance, stable structure, simple preparation process and large specific surface area to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a zinc oxide / indium oxide porous microsphere and a preparation method thereof, and application thereof in the degradation of soil organic pollutants. The material has high degradation efficiency for organic pollutants, stable structure, large specific surface area, is environmentally friendly, and can be used for large-scale production.

[0009] (3) The solution obtained in step (2) is naturally cooled and then centrifuged to obtain a product, which is then washed alternately with ethanol and deionized water; (4) The washed material is placed in a tube furnace and calcined at a constant temperature of 300-400 degrees Celsius for 1-2 hours to obtain a zinc oxide-indium oxide composite material.

In addition, the preparation process of the present application is simple, the material structure is stable, it is conducive to large-scale production and application, and has practical significance.
