[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the following embodiments.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] A preparation method of an alumina-supported copper-doped graphene-like catalyst includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 1: Disperse 50 g of cyclodextrin in 1 L of deionized water and stir for 30 min to form suspension A;

[0044] Step 2: Add aluminum chloride and ferric chloride to suspension A. The amount of ferric ions is 100 mmol, and the molar ratio of iron to aluminum is 1:4. Stir evenly and adjust the pH of the solution to 8 to form suspension B;

[0045] Step 3: Add 120 g of urea to suspension B. After complete dissolution, impregnation solution C is formed;

[0046] Step 4: Pour impregnation solution C into a beaker containing 700 g of alumina spheres. Let it stand at 80 °C for 12 h, and then dry at 80 °C to obtain dried spheres;

[0047] Step 5: Place the dried spheres in a tube furnace for calcination. The heating rate of the tube furnace is 5 °C / min, an inert gas is used as the protective gas, the temperature is maintained at 800 °C, and the residence time is 3 hours. Then cool to room temperature and wash repeatedly with water. After drying, it is the immobilized FeAl-NC-Al2O3 water purification catalyst.

[0048] Application Example 1

[0049] Application of a FeAl-NC-Al2O3 water purification catalyst as a fixed-bed filler in Example 1 of the present invention in degrading organic pollutants in water, the method comprising the following steps:

[0050] As Figure 2 shown, a fixed-bed reactor was set up to treat organic pollutants in water. The operating conditions of the solidification bed reactor are as follows: The organic pollutants are transported to the solidification bed 3 through a peristaltic pump 2. The flow rate of the organic pollutant (BPA) is 1.8 mL / min, the residence time is 30 min, and the solution is neutral. As can be seen from Figure 3 it, in the first 46 days of operation, the removal rate of CIP reached 100%. However, as the operation time elapsed, the removal rate of CIP slowly decreased and gradually stabilized, and finally the removal rate remained above 54.2%. This may be due to the adsorption of CIP by the catalyst in the early stage. After operating for a period of time, microorganisms were enriched on the surface of the catalyst in the reactor and gradually adapted to CIP. At this time, the microorganisms began to play a role.

[0051] Application Example 2

[0052] Application of a FeAl-NC-Al2O3 water purification catalyst as a fixed-bed filler in Example 1 of the present invention in degrading organic pollutants in water, the method comprising the following steps:

[0053] As Figure 2 shown, a fixed-bed reactor was set up to treat organic pollutants in water. The operating conditions of the solidification bed reactor are as follows: The organic pollutants are transported to the solidification bed 3 through a peristaltic pump 2. The flow rate of the organic pollutant (TC) is 1.8 mL / min, the residence time is 30 min, and the solution is neutral. As can be seen from Figure 4 it, during the operation period of up to 106 days, the FeAl-NC-Al2O3 biofiltration reactor showed continuous and efficient degradation ability for TC, and its removal rate was always maintained at 100%. Combining the results of removing CIP before, in the initial stage of operation, the removal of TC mainly relied on the adsorption of the material. However, as the reactor operated, microorganisms were enriched on the surface of the catalyst in the reactor, and at this time the microorganisms began to play a role.

[0054] Application Example 3

[0055] Application of a FeAl-NC-Al2O3 water purification catalyst as a fixed-bed filler in Example 1 of the present invention in degrading organic pollutants in water, the method comprising the following steps:

[0056] As Figure 2As shown, a fixed-bed reactor was set up to treat organic pollutants in water. The operating conditions of the fixed-bed reactor are as follows: The organic pollutants are transported to the fixed-bed 3 by a peristaltic pump 2. The flow rate of the organic pollutants (CIP) is 1.8 mL / min, the residence time is 30 min, and the solution is neutral. From Figure 5 it can be obtained that the degradation of BPA gradually improves over the operating days and finally reaches 100%.

[0057] The matrix material of the present invention is inexpensive, has low cost, is convenient to synthesize, has a simple process, and does not generate solid foreign matters such as iron sludge during the reaction process, and does not require a foreign matter removal device. Its granular spherical shape is more suitable for actual water treatment applications than the powder catalyst developed in the laboratory, is convenient for separation from water, and is convenient for recycling.
