[0002] Floxacin antibiotics are a class of broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs, such as ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and norfloxacin, which are widely used in the medical field to treat various bacterial infections. However, the degradation of these drugs in the environment may cause environmental pollution and ecological problems. The residues of floxacin antibiotics in water and soil may have a negative impact on aquatic organisms and soil microorganisms, and may even lead to the spread of drug resistance. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an effective treatment technology and materials to solve this problem.

[0003] At present, there are biological technology, physical technology, and advanced oxidation technology for the degradation of oxazolidinone antibiotics. Although these technologies can remove oxazolidinone antibiotics to a certain extent, there are still many challenges. For example, the degradation rate of biological technology is slow and may produce drug-resistant bacteria; although physical technology is effective, it is costly and cannot fundamentally degrade organic matter. Chemical technology, especially advanced oxidation technology (AOPs), can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as sulfate radicals (SO) by activating persulfates (permonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS)). 4 •−), hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxide radical (O 2 •−) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) to degrade xacin antibiotics. Among them, the persulfate technology has a low pollutant removal efficiency at room temperature due to the stable chemical properties of PMS. In order to quickly degrade pollutants, appropriate methods are often used to activate PMS to promote SO 4 •- production can improve the degradation effect.

[0004] Coal gangue is waste rock discharged during the coal mining process. It is a gray-black rock with a lower carbon content and harder than coal. It has a higher ash, volatile and sulfur content, so it cannot be directly used in industrial production and has become an environmental pollutant that is difficult to treat. The main components of coal gangue include Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 , and varying amounts of Fe 2 O 3 , CaO, MgO, Na 2 O.K 2 O.P 2 O 5 、SO 3and trace rare elements. These components make coal gangue have a variety of potential utilization values. Therefore, if coal gangue can be used as a resource to prepare composite materials with specific functions, it can not only solve environmental problems, but also realize the resource utilization of the environment.

[0036] Application Example 1: The norfloxacin aqueous solution with a concentration of 20mg / L was prepared with deionized water, 100mL was taken in a conical flask, and 40mg of the coal gangue composite material of the load zinc and cobalt prepared in Examples 1-5 and the materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 were added respectively to form multiple control groups to study the adsorption performance of the material to pollutants. The whole reaction was carried out in a constant temperature shaking incubator at room temperature at a speed of 180rpm / min. During the reaction, 4.0mL of the reaction solution sample was taken out at a predetermined time interval, and a 0.22μm water system microporous filter was used to inject it into a 4.0mL centrifuge tube containing the norfloxacin concentration for the determination. The experimental process was carried out in a light-proof environment.

[0037] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, compared with the single metal-doped gangue materials of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 3, the loaded bimetallic composite materials prepared in Examples 1-5 have better adsorption performance, indicating that the bimetallic loading improves the adsorption capacity of pollutants. And the adsorption equilibrium is basically reached within 30 minutes.

[0038] Application Example 2: A 20 mg / L norfloxacin aqueous solution was prepared with deionized water, 100 mL was taken in a conical flask, and 40 mg of the zinc and cobalt-loaded gangue composite materials prepared in Examples 1-5 and the materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 were added to form multiple control groups. After 30 min of adsorption equilibrium, 2 mM PMS was added to the conical flask to initiate the degradation stage. The adsorption and degradation properties of the material for pollutants were studied. The entire reaction was carried out in a constant temperature shaking incubator at room temperature at a speed of 180 rpm / min. During the reaction, 4.0 mL of the reaction solution sample was taken out at predetermined time intervals and injected into a 4.0 mL centrifuge tube containing a 0.22 μm water system microporous filter for the determination of norfloxacin concentration. The experimental process was carried out in a light-proof environment.

[0039] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, compared with the pure coal gangue material of Comparative Example 1, the metal-doped coal gangue composite catalytic materials prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 2-3 have significantly increased degradation efficiency for norfloxacin, indicating that metal loading improves the ability to degrade pollutants, especially the bimetal loading is better than the single metal loading.

[0040] from Figure 3 It can also be seen that, compared with Examples 1-3, the ratio of metal zinc and cobalt in Example 2 has the best degradation effect. Comparing Example 1 with Example 5, it can be seen that there is no significant difference in the drying temperature within 100-120°C. The catalytic degradation system after pre-adsorption for 30 minutes in the best embodiment 2 has the best norfloxacin removal ability, and the removal efficiency is further improved. The material can adsorb norfloxacin on the surface of the material through the electrostatic effect, effectively activate PMS to produce more active species, and greatly improve the efficiency of removing norfloxacin.

[0041] The reusability and stability of the ZnCo@CG of Example 2 were evaluated. Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, during the first use, the removal of norfloxacin by ZnCo@CG reached 92.9%. As the number of cycles increased, the removal of norfloxacin gradually decreased. However, after 3 cycles, the removal of norfloxacin by ZnCo@CG remained at 68%. These results confirm that the coal gangue catalyst composite has good stability and reusability.

[0042] The gangue composite material loaded with metal zinc and cobalt and the pure gangue material prepared in Example 1 of the present invention were characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. Figure 1 It can be seen that after the introduction of metal zinc and cobalt, 3600cm -1 The water-absorbing hydroxyl peaks on the left and right disappeared, indicating that metallic zinc and cobalt have been successfully loaded on the coal gangue.
