[0003] Photocatalytic technology is a promising strategy for removing tetracycline antibiotics from water using photocatalysts. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has a tunable electronic structure, is environmentally friendly, and exhibits excellent physicochemical stability. However, pristine graphitic carbon nitride suffers from rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers and low photoactivity, necessitating the search for better solutions.

This invention can be used to treat tetracycline antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments using a photocatalytic system, demonstrating significant potential for application in the field of water environment management.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] Furthermore, a mixture of ferric nitrate nonahydrate and 8-hydroxyquinoline is heated in a water bath, and after pH adjustment, an inky iron ligand is obtained.

After stirring, the mixture should be uniformly mixed. Then, the pH value was adjusted to 7 with 0.1 mol / L NaOH solution to precipitate. The inky solid material obtained after washing with water, filtration and vacuum drying was the iron ligand. Subsequently, 5 g of melamine and 75 mg of the iron ligand were ground and calcined at 500 ° C in air for 3 h to obtain a gray-black powder material CN-Q-Fe, that is, the Fe-doped graphitic carbon nitride material with N defects.
[0011] The present invention also provides application of the above-mentioned Fe-doped graphite carbon nitride material with N defects in the field of photocatalysis.

[0029] Preparation of CN-Q-Fe: 0.81 g of ferric nitrate nonahydrate and 0.87 g of 8-hydroxyquinoline were added to 40 ml of ethanol, and after ultrasonic dissolution, stirring was continued in a water bath at 60°C for 3 h. After stirring, the mixture should be uniformly mixed. Then, the pH value was adjusted to 7 with 0.1 mol / L NaOH solution to precipitate. The inky solid material obtained after washing with water, filtration and vacuum drying was the iron ligand; then, 5 g of melamine and 75 mg of the iron ligand were ground evenly and calcined at 500°C in air for 3 h to obtain a gray-black powder material CN-Q-Fe, which is the Fe-doped graphitic carbon nitride material with N defects.

All samples exhibit two diffraction peaks at 12.9° and 27.4°, belonging to the (100) and (002) planes of g-C3N4, corresponding to the regular in-plane stacking and interlayer ordered stacking of heptazine units, respectively. The intensity of the 27.4° diffraction peak decreases significantly after iron ion modification, indicating a thinner material.

[0032] Take 20 mg of CN-Q-Fe from Example 1 and add it to 50 ml of 5 mg·L -1 A 3W LED lamp was used to simulate visible light, and a dark reaction was performed for 30 minutes before illumination to achieve adsorption and desorption equilibrium. The degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Furthermore, the CN-Q-Fe in the system after the first run was saved, and the above operation was repeated in the second run to continue observing the cyclic degradation activity of the reused CN-Q-Fe on the tetracycline hydrochloride solution. 5 mg·L -1 tetracycline hydrochloride solution was replaced with 10 mg·L -1 Oxytetracycline (OTC) solution and 10 mg·L -1 The other conditions and operations remained unchanged to investigate the photocatalytic degradation and photocatalytic cyclic degradation of oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline by CN-Q-Fe.

[0036] Figure 5 This study simulated the cyclic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride by CN-Q-Fe under sunlight. Over five cycles, the degradation rates were 99.2%, 98.6%, 97.8%, 97.1%, and 95.9%, respectively. This demonstrates the excellent cyclic degradation stability of CN-Q-Fe for tetracycline hydrochloride.

Over five cycles, the degradation rates of chlortetracycline were 90.3%, 89.5%, 89%, 88.4%, and 87.9%, respectively. This demonstrates the excellent cyclic degradation stability of CN-Q-Fe for chlortetracycline.
[0039] Example 3: Photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline antibiotics in different water matrices
[0040] Take 20 mg of CN-Q-Fe from Example 1 and add it to 50 ml of 5 mg·L -1The photocatalytic degradation activity of CN-Q-Fe on tetracycline hydrochloride solution in different aqueous matrices was tested by high-performance liquid chromatography. 5 mg·L -1 of tetracycline hydrochloride was replaced with 10 mg·L -1 of oxytetracycline and 10 mg·L -1 The other conditions and operations remained unchanged to investigate the photocatalytic degradation activity of CN-Q-Fe on oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline in different water matrices.
[0041] Figure 8 This is a comparison chart of the degradation effect of CN-Q-Fe on tetracycline hydrochloride in different water matrices under simulated sunlight. It can be seen from the figure that the degradation rates of tetracycline hydrochloride in deionized water matrix, tap water matrix, Yellow River water matrix and seawater matrix after 30 minutes of illumination are 99.2%, 96.2%, 94.1% and 91.1%, respectively, proving that CN-Q-Fe has excellent photocatalytic degradation ability of tetracycline hydrochloride in different water matrices and has good anti-interference ability against impurities in different water matrices.
[0042] Figure 9 This is a comparison chart of the degradation effect of CN-Q-Fe on oxytetracycline in different water matrices under simulated sunlight. It can be seen from the figure that the degradation rates of oxytetracycline in deionized water matrix, tap water matrix, Yellow River water matrix and seawater matrix after 30 minutes of illumination are 86.7%, 83.6%, 81.7% and 78.3%, respectively, which proves that CN-Q-Fe has excellent photocatalytic degradation ability of oxytetracycline in different water matrices and has good anti-interference ability to impurities in different water matrices.
[0043] Figure 10 This is a comparison chart of the degradation effect of CN-Q-Fe on chlortetracycline in different water matrices under simulated sunlight.

[0044] Figure 11The electron paramagnetic resonance images of CN and CN-Q-Fe in Example 1 demonstrate the presence of N defects. The presence of N defects indicates that more unpaired electrons can be generated under visible light irradiation, further accelerating the formation of photogenerated charges in photocatalysis, thereby improving the photocatalytic ability of CN-Q-Fe.
