Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of catalytic materials and water treatment, and particularly relates to a metal single-atom loaded alumina ceramic lattice catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Wastewater discharged from industries such as chemical engineering, textile, and printing and dyeing is mostly high-concentration and difficult-to-degrade organic wastewater. To promote the recycling and green transformation of wastewater, the deep purification of wastewater has become an inevitable requirement and a key link for the up-to-standard discharge and resource utilization of industrial wastewater.
[0003] Oxide ceramics such as alumina and silica are commonly used catalyst carriers, which have advantages such as high mechanical strength, stable chemical properties, and long service life. After further loading non-metallic or metal components on their surfaces, they are widely used in the preparation of environmental catalysts. However, the industrial preparation of traditional ceramics has problems such as high energy consumption, low material utilization rate, and limited design space, and it is difficult to have both excellent mechanical properties and multifunctionality. For traditional alumina-based catalysts loaded with metals, the particles inside are usually isolated and discontinuous, which results in a large amount of "dead volume" inside the catalyst, low internal surface area utilization rate, and great material waste. In addition, the active components of traditional metal-loaded catalysts are unevenly distributed, the utilization rate of metal atoms is low, and the overall catalytic activity needs to be improved. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a catalyst with both multi-reaction sites and a hierarchical pore structure, which has more active reaction sites and better reaction residence time while ensuring the structural stability of the catalyst, and improves the catalytic activity of the catalyst.
[0004] 3D printing ("additive manufacturing") is a manufacturing technology that converts a digital model into a physical part by layer-by-layer accumulation of materials. It has significant advantages over "equivalent material manufacturing" and "subtractive manufacturing" technologies in the field of preparing complex-structured parts. Currently, 3D printing technology has been widely applied to fields such as aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, national defense and military industry, energy and power, rail transit, petrochemical industry, medical and health, electronics, molds, cultural and creative industries, architecture, and cultural and creative fields. The triply periodic minimal surface structure (TPMS structure) is a minimal surface structure with periodic repeating units in three-dimensional space. The surface lattice structure represented by the TPMS structure has excellent mechanical properties, and at the same time has the characteristics of periodicity and zero average curvature everywhere.
[0005] There are also examples in the prior art of preparing high-performance ceramic materials using 3D printing technology and TPMS structures. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a Ni-loaded TPMS-structured Al2O3-based monolithic catalyst and its preparation method. This catalyst has high mass and heat transfer efficiency, easy sample recovery, and good reusability, and can be used for CO methanation. However, the active component Ni loaded by the general impregnation method often exists in the form of nanoclusters, with low utilization rate of metal atoms, and the overall reaction activity still needs to be improved. Moreover, the mechanical compressive properties of the material are not fully improved during its preparation process, and it will be restricted to a certain extent during use.

[0083] The following elaborates on each step in detail.
[0084] Step 1)
[0085] In a three-dimensional design software, by numerically solving different level set approximation equations, a surface lattice structure represented by a triply periodic minimal surface structure (TPMS) was designed as the main structure of the alumina ceramic lattice catalyst skeleton, and a three-dimensional geometric configuration file was obtained. Pour the alumina slurry into the liquid tank of the surface projection microstereolithography printer, import the three-dimensional geometric configuration file into the computer connected to the surface projection microstereolithography printer and perform slicing, and use the surface projection microstereolithography technology to cure layer by layer under ultraviolet light for 3D printing.

It can be seen from the figure that the catalyst in Example 1 has the best degradation effect, and the pollutant removal rate reaches 90% within 60 minutes; while the degradation effect of the manganese nanocluster-loaded alumina ceramic lattice catalyst in Comparative Example 2 or the manganese single-atom-loaded alumina ceramic spherical catalyst in Comparative Example 3 has decreased, and the pure ozone system hardly has any degradation.
[0186] Example 5: Application of the catalyst in actual sewage treatment
[0187] (1) Select actual coal chemical wastewater as the model pollutant and degrade it using the method of ozone catalytic oxidation. Select 300 mL of coal chemical wastewater with an initial concentration of 110 mg / L for degradation. Also use Figure 10 the shown apparatus, and the catalyst used is the catalyst prepared in Example 1. During the reaction, the oxygen inlet volume is 0.5 L / min, the ozone concentration generated by the ozone generator is 15 mg / L, and the degradation time is 60 min.

It can be seen from the figure that the Mn single-atom lattice catalyst in Example 1 has the best degradation effect, and the COD can be reduced to below 50 mg / L within 60 minutes. The degradation effects of the manganese single-atom-loaded alumina ceramic spherical catalyst in Comparative Example 3 and the manganese nanocluster-loaded alumina ceramic spherical catalyst in Comparative Example 4 are inferior, and the effluent COD is higher than that in Example 1.

Figure a) is the three-dimensional fluorescence result of the raw water, and Figure b) is the result after 60 minutes of treatment. It can be seen that after 60 minutes of treatment, the removal rate of the fluorescent substances is very high, which proves that the Mn single-atom lattice catalyst has a very high pollutant removal efficiency.
[0195] Cyclic Test Experiment
[0196] The operation in Example 5 was repeated for five cycles (each cycle time was 60 min), and the results are shown in Figure 14 . It can be seen from the figure that the effluent concentration of COD is all below 50 mg / L, indicating that the catalyst prepared in Example 1 has high activity and high stability and can be repeatedly used for sewage treatment for multiple cycles.
[0197] Example 6: Exploration of the mechanism of the manganese single-atom lattice catalyst for degrading pollutants
[0198] Combined with the method of computational chemistry, ab initio molecular dynamics simulation was used to explore the process of generating reactive oxygen species at the manganese single-atom site using the CP2K software. The parameters of the simulation process are as follows: The core electrons are described by the norm-conserving Goedecker-Teter-Hutter (GTH) pseudopotential. The convergence criterion is 1.0×10 -6 a.u. The Nose-Hoover thermostat was used in the canonical ensemble (NVT), the time step was 0.5 fs, and the finite temperature was 298 K.
[0199] Results
[0200] Figure 15 The process of reactive oxygen species generation is shown. The whole reaction process between manganese single-atom sites and ozone (O3) was simulated, and the results showed that more reactive oxygen species were generated by the reaction of manganese single-atom sites with O3 for pollutant degradation. The specific process is as follows: First, the initial state was verified, and the distance between O3 and the carbon skeleton was Subsequently, the ozone molecule gradually approached the carbon plane. After ~279 fs, it initially reached the reaction site on the catalyst surface; after continuous configuration adjustment of O3, the configuration flip was completed after ~101 fs, and a bond was formed close to the surface hydroxyl group; ·HO3 was gradually generated and served as an intermediate after the transition state, and finally left the carbon skeleton; finally, after another 78 fs, the intermediate was converted into two reactive oxygen species: ·OH and O2. The simulation results showed that the process of generating reactive oxygen species such as ·OH was thermodynamically spontaneous, proving that manganese single-atom sites could promote the generation of reactive oxygen species such as ·OH, thereby improving the removal efficiency of pollutants and achieving efficient advanced wastewater treatment.
