TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of water treatment catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an iron-zinc co-doped graphene-like wastewater self-purification catalyst and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Water pollution problems are increasingly serious, posing a great threat to human health and the ecological environment. In addition to traditional pollutants, some new pollutants have attracted widespread attention due to their unique properties and potential hazards. As typical new water pollutants, endocrine disruptors and antibiotics have become the focus of research and governance due to their widespread presence in the environment and potential hazards.
[0003] To address this challenge, advanced oxidation technologies (AOPs) have emerged as an efficient wastewater treatment method. AOPs can effectively degrade a variety of organic pollutants by generating highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals ( · OH). Common AOPs include ozone oxidation (O3), photocatalytic oxidation combined with hydrogen peroxide (H3O3) and ultraviolet light (UV), Fenton reaction, and electrochemical oxidation. These technologies perform well in treating refractory organic matter, but also have significant limitations, particularly high energy consumption and the need for chemical additives, which increases operating costs and the risk of secondary pollution. Therefore, technology that activates dissolved oxygen in water through the construction of a strong electric field on the surface of the catalyst to drive the self-degradation of pollutants on the catalyst surface has gradually attracted attention. It does not require the addition of other chemicals, can treat organic pollutants in wastewater at low energy consumption, and reduces wastewater treatment costs. SUMMARY
