Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a Fenton-like catalyst derived from a polymer adsorbent and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Typical industrial wastewater includes two categories. One is wastewater containing toxic metal ion pollutants such as chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co); the other is fine chemical wastewater, mainly wastewater containing various aromatic organic pollutants. Heavy metal ions are pollutants that cannot be naturally degraded and cannot be metabolized by the human body, causing serious harm to the ecological environment system and human health. At present, the commonly used methods for treating metal ion pollutants are divided into three categories: physical methods, chemical methods, and biological methods. Among them, the adsorption method, which belongs to the physical method, is widely used in treating heavy metal polluted wastewater due to its advantages such as high efficiency, economy, and environmental friendliness. This method enriches heavy metal ions onto the adsorbent through the interaction between the adsorbent and heavy metal ions to achieve the purpose of removing heavy metal ions from water bodies.

[0003] In addition to metal ion pollutants, organic pollutants such as phenols in the discharged wastewater are also difficult to be naturally degraded, seriously endangering human health. Researchers have been exploring methods such as adsorption, biodegradation, membrane separation, and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to completely remove these organic pollutants. In recent years, AOPs based on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) have received extensive attention due to the strong oxidation ability of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated. The ROS generated after PMS activation can efficiently mineralize a variety of organic pollutants within a wide pH range and produce less secondary pollution. PMS can be activated by various methods, including heat treatment, microwave, ultraviolet irradiation, ultrasound, or transition metal catalysis. Various transition metals, including Fe, Co, Cu, Ni, Mn, and their oxides, can activate PMS to generate ROS. Among them, Co 3+ / Co 2+ has a relatively high redox potential (E0 = 1.92V), so Co-based catalysts are considered to be one of the most effective catalysts for activating PMS. However, traditional heterogeneous Co-based catalysts and Co oxide catalysts have serious secondary pollution problems. It has been found that dispersing and loading Co on carbon materials can expose more active sites, which can improve the catalytic activity while reducing the secondary pollution problem of Co metal leaching. Cobalt-modified carbon nanocomposites are one of the research hotspots of AOP catalytic materials in recent years.

[0004] "Turning waste into treasure and treating waste with waste" refers to a method of treating pollution problems by utilizing waste. This method can not only solve environmental pollution problems, but also make full use of waste, with high economic and environmental benefits. However, at present, many water treatment solid wastes containing metal elements are difficult to be reused after element extraction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, this application designs a Fenton-like catalyst derived from a polymer adsorbent and its preparation method, aiming to effectively degrade various pollutants in industrial wastewater within a short time and achieve secondary utilization through the Cu@C carbon-based Fenton-like catalyst developed in this application.

[0041] Step S1: Weigh 21.15 mL of N-methyldiallylammonium chloride, 14.68 mL of allyl chloride, and 25 mL of acetone, and stir and react at 30 °C for 48 h to obtain the crosslinking agent TAMAC;

[0051] Further, in the step S5, the temperature of high-temperature calcination is 12-36 h.

[0052] Further, in the step S5, the time of high-temperature calcination is 2-5 h.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Based on Example 1, this example mainly introduces the data verification of the Cu@C carbon-based Fenton-like catalyst designed in this application. The catalyst was applied to the advanced oxidation reaction of activating PMS to degrade 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), and its catalytic performance was tested and evaluated.

[0055] The comparative samples of elemental copper, carbon and Cu@C were used to catalyze the degradation of 100 mL of 2,4-DCP with a concentration of 20 μM by PMS. The concentration of 2,4-DCP in the solution after different reaction times was tested by high performance liquid chromatography to evaluate the performance of the catalyst. The results are as Figure 2 shown. It can be seen that after 30 minutes, the elemental copper system only degraded 28.1% of 2,4-DCP, the elemental carbon system degraded 28.5% of 2,4-DCP, and the Cu@C system could degrade 97.1% of 2,4-DCP. It can be seen that the catalytic performance of Cu@C is much higher than that of single active metal copper or carrier carbon, proving that metal copper and carbon synergistically promoted the catalytic performance.

[0056] The catalysts prepared at the adsorbent synthesis temperatures of 50 °C, 70 °C and 90 °C were respectively used to activate PMS to degrade 2,4-DCP. After reacting for 30 min, the concentration of 2,4-DCP in the solution was tested. The results are as Figure 3As shown, by comparison, it can be seen that the catalyst prepared from the adsorbent synthesized at 90 °C has the best performance, and the degradation of 2,4-DCP can reach 97.1% in 30 min. Therefore, the optimal synthesis temperature of the adsorbent is 90 °C.

[0057] The catalysts prepared with the polymerization time of the adsorbent being 10 h, 30 h, and 50 h respectively were used to activate PMS to degrade 2,4-DCP. After reacting for 30 min, the concentration of 2,4-DCP in the solution was measured. The results are as Figure 4 shown. By comparison, it can be seen that the catalyst prepared from the adsorbent synthesized with a polymerization time of 30 h has the best performance, and the degradation of 2,4-DCP can reach 97.1% in 30 min. Therefore, the optimal polymerization time of the adsorbent is 30 h.

[0058] Three catalysts obtained by the adsorbent adsorbing copper ion solutions with different concentrations (200, 1000, 2000 mg / L), namely Cu@C-200, Cu@C-1000, and Cu@C, were used to activate PMS to degrade 2,4-DCP. After reacting for 30 min, the concentration of 2,4-DCP in the solution was measured. The results are as Figure 5 shown. By comparison, it can be seen that the catalyst obtained by adsorbing the copper ion solution with a concentration of 2000 mg / L has the best performance, and the degradation of 2,4-DCP can reach 97.1% in 30 min. Therefore, the optimal concentration of the adsorbed copper ion solution is 2000 mg / L. It shows that the higher the concentration of copper ions in the adsorbed copper ion solution, the higher the activity of the obtained catalyst. This may be because the higher the copper ion concentration, the more copper ions are adsorbed, and the higher the copper content in the prepared catalyst.

[0059] The calcination temperatures of the catalyst were set at 600, 800, and 1000 °C respectively. The obtained catalysts were used to activate PMS to degrade 2,4-DCP. After reacting for 30 min, the concentration of 2,4-DCP in the solution was measured. The results are as Figure 6 shown. By comparison, it can be seen that the catalyst synthesized at a calcination temperature of 800 °C has the best performance, and the degradation of 2,4-DCP can reach 97.1% in 30 min. Therefore, the optimal calcination temperature is 800 °C.

[0060] The calcination temperature of the catalyst was set at 800 °C. The catalysts obtained by setting the calcination time at 2, 3, 4, and 5 h respectively were used to activate PMS to degrade 2,4-DCP. After reacting for 30 min, the concentration of 2,4-DCP in the solution was measured. The results are as Figure 7 shown. By comparison, it can be seen that the catalyst synthesized with a calcination time of 3 h has the best performance, and the degradation of 2,4-DCP can reach 97.1% in 30 min. Therefore, the optimal calcination time is 3 h.

[0061] It can be seen that the optimal preparation conditions for the catalyst Cu@C are that the adsorbent synthesis temperature is 90 °C and heated for 30 h. When the adsorbent treats copper ions at 2000 mg / L, the used adsorbent is calcined at 800 °C for 3 h under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0062] To further investigate the universality of the obtained catalyst Cu@C, it was used to degrade several common pollutants, bisphenol A, benzoic acid, and atrazine, respectively. The results are as Figure 8 shown. After 30 min, the degradation of bisphenol A can reach 97.0%, the degradation of benzoic acid can reach 98.0%, and the degradation of atrazine can reach 91.2%. This shows that the catalyst Cu@C has good universality for common pollutants in water.

[0063] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and it does not limit the protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, integrations, and parameter changes made to these embodiments by conventional substitutions or capable of achieving the same functions without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
