Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photocatalytic materials, and in particular to a simple preparation method of a BiVO4 visible light catalyst. [Background technology]

[0002] The preparation and development of efficient, stable and safe photocatalytic materials is a research hotspot in the fields of materials science, chemistry and environmental science. TiO2 is one of the most widely used photocatalysts, but due to its large bandgap (Eg = 3.2eV), TiO2 can only show catalytic activity under ultraviolet light, and ultraviolet light accounts for less than 5% of the solar spectrum, which limits the use of TiO2 for clean energy such as solar energy. Visible light accounts for as much as 43% of sunlight, so it is of great significance to develop photocatalytic materials with high activity under visible light.

[0003] Among the many new visible light responsive photocatalysts, bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is a photocatalyst with great potential. BiVO4 of the monoclinic scheelite type has attracted widespread attention due to its narrow bandgap (Eg=2.4eV), strong absorption in the visible light range, good photocatalytic effect, and environmentally friendly characteristics. At present, the preparation method of BiVO4 (monoclinic scheelite type) is mostly hydrothermal method. However, since the hydrothermal method requires a long time of reaction at high temperature, the energy consumption is relatively large; at the same time, the hydrothermal method requires the use of a high temperature and high pressure resistant hydrothermal autoclave as a reaction container, and the reaction needs to be placed in a high temperature box with an explosion-proof door to avoid safety problems. Therefore, the hydrothermal method not only has high energy consumption and high equipment cost, but also has high safety requirements for the synthesis device, which is not conducive to expanding the production scale and also increases the preparation cost of BiVO4. [Summary of the invention]

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a simple preparation method of BiVO4 visible light catalyst, so as to solve the problems of high energy consumption, high preparation cost and disadvantageous for expanding production scale in the existing preparation of BiVO4 by hydrothermal method.

[0005] The present invention is achieved by: a simple preparation method of BiVO4 visible light catalyst, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step S1: dissolve bismuth nitrate [Bi(NO3)3·5H2O] in concentrated nitric acid and add deionized water to a concentration of 0.05 mol·L -1 Bi(NO3)3 solution;

[0007] Step S2: Dissolve ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) in hot deionized water to a concentration of 0.05 mol·L -1 NH4VO3 solution;

[0008] Step S3, mixing Bi(NO3)3 solution and NH4VO3 solution at a molar ratio of 1:1, adjusting the pH value to 4, and then stirring the mixture in a 90°C water bath to separate the generated precipitate;

[0009] Step S4, drying the separated precipitate, transferring the dried precipitate to a crucible, and calcining it at 450° C. in a muffle furnace to obtain a BiVO4 visible light catalyst;

[0010] There is no particular order for step S1 and step S2.

[0011] Further, in step S3, the pH value is adjusted to 4 and then heated and stirred in a 90° C. water bath to react as follows:

[0012] The mixed solution was placed in a conical flask, and the pH value of the mixed solution was adjusted to 4 using concentrated ammonia water; the conical flask containing the mixed solution was placed in a water bath, and stirred in a 90°C water bath for 6 hours at a stirring speed of 90-110 rpm.

[0013] Furthermore, the stirring speed is 100 rpm.

[0014] Further, in step S3, the mixing of the Bi(NO3)3 solution and the NH4VO3 solution at a molar ratio of 1:1 is specifically as follows:

[0015] Place the NH4VO3 solution in a conical flask, and while shaking the conical flask, slowly add the same volume of Bi(NO3)3 solution into the conical flask and mix it with the NH4VO3 solution.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S3, the separation of the generated precipitate is specifically: separating the precipitate obtained by the reaction by suction filtration or filtration, and washing the precipitate with deionized water for 6 to 8 times.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S4, the separated precipitate is dried by placing the separated precipitate in an oven and drying it at 80° C. for 1 hour;

[0018] The calcining at 450° C. in a muffle furnace specifically includes: calcining at 450° C. in a muffle furnace for 1 hour.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S4, the obtained BiVO4 visible light photocatalyst is a yellow powder, the crystal phase is a monoclinic scheelite type, and the morphology is aggregated particles.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S2, the temperature of the hot deionized water is 85-95°C.

[0021] The present invention replaces the traditional hydrothermal method to prepare BiVO4 catalyst by water phase precipitation + calcination at a specific temperature, and prepares nano-scale monoclinic scheelite-type BiVO4 visible light catalyst by controlling the concentration of reactants bismuth salt and vanadium salt, pH value of the mixed solution, reaction temperature, reaction time, calcination temperature and calcination time. Compared with the traditional hydrothermal method, the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following significant advantages:

[0022] 1. No complicated and expensive equipment is required, and the requirements for synthesis equipment are low, which can effectively reduce equipment costs and is conducive to expanding production scale.

[0023] 2. There is no need for long-term reaction at high temperature. The preparation process is highly safe, has low energy consumption, and uses cheap raw materials. It can effectively reduce the preparation cost of BiVO4 and is suitable for large-scale production.

[0024] 3. The whole preparation method is very simple and easy to control and operate.

[0025] 4. The entire preparation process does not require the use of additional catalysts, avoiding the possibility of introducing other impurities. The prepared BiVO4 visible light catalyst is a monoclinic scheelite type, which has a good visible light catalytic effect and has no significant difference in catalytic efficiency compared with the sample prepared by the hydrothermal method.

The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the attached claims.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a simple preparation method of BiVO4 visible light catalyst, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0041] Step S1: dissolve bismuth nitrate [Bi(NO3)3·5H2O] in concentrated nitric acid and add deionized water to a concentration of 0.05 mol·L -1 of Bi(NO3)3 solution.

[0042] In the specific implementation of the present invention, the amounts of bismuth nitrate [Bi(NO3)3·5H2O], concentrated nitric acid and deionized water can be weighed and measured according to actual use requirements.

[0043] Step S2: Dissolve ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) in hot deionized water to a concentration of 0.05 mol·L -1 NH4VO3 solution; wherein, step S1 and step S2 are in no particular order.

[0044] In the specific implementation of the present invention, the amounts of hot deionized water and ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) can be weighed and measured according to actual use requirements.

[0045] In step S2, in order to make ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) dissolve better, the temperature of hot deionized water is 85-95°C.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of the hot deionized water is 90°C.

[0047] Step S3, mixing Bi(NO3)3 solution and NH4VO3 solution at a molar ratio of 1:1, adjusting the pH value to 4, and then stirring the mixture in a 90°C water bath to separate the generated precipitate (specifically, a yellow precipitate). In the specific implementation of the present invention, the Bi(NO3)3 solution and the NH4VO3 solution can be mixed without waiting for the NH4VO3 solution to cool down.

[0048] In step S3, the pH value is adjusted to 4 and then heated and stirred in a 90° C. water bath to react as follows:

[0049] The pH value of the mixed solution is adjusted to 4 with concentrated ammonia water; the conical flask 4 containing the mixed solution is placed in a water bath 2, and stirred in a 90°C water bath for 6 hours at a stirring speed of 90-110 rpm. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stirring speed is 100 rpm.

[0050] In step S3, the mixing of Bi(NO3)3 solution and NH4VO3 solution at a molar ratio of 1:1 is specifically as follows:

[0051] The NH4VO3 solution is placed in a conical flask 4, and the same volume of Bi(NO3)3 solution is slowly added into the conical flask 4 while shaking the conical flask 4 to mix with the NH4VO3 solution. Since the concentrations of the Bi(NO3)3 solution and the NH4VO3 solution in the present invention are both 0.05 mol·L -1 Therefore, it is only necessary to mix equal volumes of Bi(NO3)3 solution and NH4VO3 solution.

[0052] In the specific implementation of the present invention, a synthesis device can be used to conduct a water bath heat stirring reaction on the mixed solution, such as Figure 1As shown, the synthesis device includes a bracket 1, a water bath 2, a stirrer 3, a conical flask 4 and a fixing clamp 5; one end of the fixing clamp 5 is fixed to the bracket 1, and the other end of the fixing clamp 5 has an iron clamp 51, and the upper end of the conical flask 4 is clamped by the iron clamp 51, so that the conical flask 4 is supported by the iron clamp 5; the stirrer 3 is installed on the bracket 1, and the stirring blade 31 of the stirrer 3 extends into the interior of the conical flask 4, so that the stirrer 3 can drive the stirring blade 31 to rotate to realize automatic stirring of the solution in the conical flask 4; the water bath 2 is located below the conical flask 4, and the middle and lower part of the conical flask 4 is located inside the water bath 2, so that the middle and lower part of the conical flask 4 can be immersed in the hot water of the water bath 2. During specific use, the NH4VO3 solution needs to be placed in the conical flask 4 first, and then the same volume of Bi(NO3)3 solution is slowly added into the conical flask 4 while shaking the conical flask 4 to mix with the NH4VO3 solution, and the pH value of the mixed solution is adjusted to 4 with concentrated ammonia water; then the water in the water bath 2 is heated to 90°C and kept warm, and the middle and lower part of the conical flask 4 is placed in the hot water in the water bath 2, and the water level of the hot water in the water bath 2 is higher than the liquid level of the solution in the conical flask 4; finally, the agitator 3 is used to drive the stirring blades 31 to automatically stir the solution in the conical flask 4, so that the Bi(NO3)3 solution and the NH4VO3 solution can react fully.

[0053] In step S3, the separation of the generated precipitate is specifically: separating the precipitate obtained by the reaction by suction filtration or filtration, and washing the precipitate with deionized water for 6 to 8 times to remove the filtrate. Suction filtration or filtration are both technologies used to separate liquids and solids; filtration relies on gravity to allow liquid to pass through the filter medium, while solid particles are intercepted; suction filtration uses external negative pressure in addition to gravity to allow liquid to pass through the filter medium faster.

[0054] Step S4, drying the separated precipitate, transferring the dried precipitate to a crucible, and calcining it at 450° C. in a muffle furnace to obtain a BiVO4 visible light catalyst.

[0055] In step S4, the step of drying the separated precipitate is as follows: placing the separated precipitate in an oven and drying it at 80° C. for 1 hour;

[0056] The calcining at 450° C. in a muffle furnace specifically includes: calcining at 450° C. in a muffle furnace for 1 hour.

[0057] In step S4, the obtained BiVO4 visible light photocatalyst is yellow powder, the crystal phase is monoclinic scheelite type, the morphology is aggregated particles, and the particle size of the particles is about 200 nm.

[0058] The present invention replaces the traditional hydrothermal method to prepare BiVO4 catalyst by water phase precipitation + calcination at a specific temperature, and prepares nano-scale monoclinic scheelite-type BiVO4 visible light catalyst by controlling the concentration of reactants bismuth salt and vanadium salt, pH value of the mixed solution, reaction temperature, reaction time, calcination temperature and calcination time. Compared with the traditional hydrothermal method, the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following significant advantages:

[0059] 1. No complicated and expensive equipment is required, and the requirements for synthesis equipment are low, which can effectively reduce equipment costs and is conducive to expanding production scale.

[0060] 2. There is no need for long-term reaction at high temperature. The preparation process is highly safe, has low energy consumption, and uses cheap raw materials. It can effectively reduce the preparation cost of BiVO4 and is suitable for large-scale production.

[0061] 3. The whole preparation method is very simple and easy to control and operate.

[0062] 4. The entire preparation process does not require the use of additional catalysts, avoiding the possibility of introducing other impurities. The prepared BiVO4 visible light catalyst is a monoclinic scheelite type, which has a good visible light catalytic effect and has no significant difference in catalytic efficiency compared with the sample prepared by the hydrothermal method.

[0063] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with some specific embodiments:

Place the NH4VO3 solution in a conical flask. Without waiting for the NH4VO3 solution to cool, slowly add the Bi(NO3)3 solution to the conical flask and the NH4VO3 solution while shaking the conical flask. After adjusting the pH value of the mixed solution to 4 with concentrated ammonia water, place the conical flask in a water bath and stir at 90°C for 6 hours (stirring speed is 90rpm). After the reaction is completed, filter to obtain a precipitate, wash the precipitate with deionized water 6 times, and discard the filtrate; place the precipitate in an oven and dry it at 80°C for 1 hour (i.e. 1 hour), then transfer the dried precipitate to a crucible and burn it in a muffle furnace at 450°C for 1 hour.

[0066] The photocatalytic efficiency of the prepared BiVO4 visible light photocatalyst was investigated by using methylene blue (MB) solution to simulate industrial wastewater. -1 Place the methylene blue solution in a small beaker, add 0.20g BiVO4 photocatalyst, shake for 5min (i.e. 5 minutes) and then stand in the dark for 12h to allow the sample to be completely adsorbed. Use a 100W incandescent lamp as the light source, and use a filter to allow only visible light with λ≥400nm to pass; the distance between the liquid surface and the light source is 15cm. Take the supernatant every 3h and use a 722 spectrophotometer to detect the absorbance of methylene blue at λ=664nm, and calculate the degradation rate of methylene blue D:

Figure 4 It can be seen that it has absorption in the visible light region, and its bandgap width Eg can be determined to be 2.44eV from the absorption edge of the curve in the figure. Figure 5 As shown, the Figure 5 The degradation rate of the typical environmental pollutant methylene blue (MB) by the BiVO4 visible light photocatalyst obtained in Example 1 and the sample prepared by the hydrothermal method is compared. Figure 5 It can be seen that after 9 hours of visible light irradiation, the degradation rate of methylene blue (MB) by the BiVO4 visible light catalyst obtained in Example 1 is good, and there is no significant difference in catalytic efficiency between the sample prepared by the hydrothermal method and the sample.
