Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oxidation granular filter materials, and more specifically, to a composite oxidation granular filter material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of environmental pollution control, water purification and air purification have always been key problems that need to be urgently solved. When traditional filter materials are faced with increasingly complex pollution situations, many limitations are exposed. Common single-component filter materials, due to their single function, are difficult to meet the requirements of efficiently removing multiple pollutants at the same time. For example, activated carbon filter materials, although having a certain adsorption capacity, have poor treatment effects on certain organic pollutants and microorganisms;

[0003] Higher requirements are put forward for the performance of filter materials. On the one hand, there are often various pollutants in water bodies, such as heavy metal ions, organic compounds, and pathogenic microorganisms, etc., and it is required that the filter materials can effectively adsorb and degrade these pollutants at the same time. On the other hand, for harmful gases and particulate matters in the air, a multifunctional filter material is also urgently needed to achieve purification;

[0004] In the structural and compositional design of existing filter materials, advanced technologies such as photocatalysis cannot be fully utilized to improve the purification efficiency. At the same time, during the long-term use of filter materials, microorganisms are likely to grow on their surfaces, resulting in filter material blockage, a decline in purification performance, and even secondary pollution.

[0005] In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a composite oxidation granular filter material and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention
