Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of catalysts, and in particular to a highly efficient Fenton-like catalyst of phenanthroline-modified single-atom iron supported on carbon nitride, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increasingly severe environmental problems, the development of efficient and environmentally friendly catalysts for environmental remediation and energy conversion has become a research hotspot. The traditional homogeneous Fenton reaction plays an important role in the field of water treatment. Its principle is that ferrous ions (Fe 2+ ) react with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (·OH), thereby degrading organic pollutants in water. This reaction system is simple, easy to operate, and can effectively treat some refractory organic pollutants. However, the traditional homogeneous Fenton reaction also has some deficiencies. First, a large amount of iron sludge is generated during the reaction process, increasing the difficulty and cost of subsequent treatment. Second, its pH application range is relatively narrow and usually needs to be carried out under acidic conditions, which limits its application under different water quality conditions. In addition, the traditional homogeneous Fenton reaction also produces more by-products, such as iron ions, which may cause secondary pollution to the environment. At present, the research focus is mainly on the improvement of the homogeneous Fenton process, such as by adding chelating ligands, using carbon dots to prepare new catalysts, etc., to solve problems such as iron sludge and pH limitation, and to improve the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the Fenton reaction. Nowadays, researchers have proposed a single-atom iron supported on carbon nitride catalyst (Fe-SACs), which shows great application potential in the fields of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and photocatalysis. Its structural formula is as follows in formula (II):

[0003]

[0004] Single-atom iron catalysts have attracted considerable attention in environmental remediation due to their unique properties, including the highest atomic utilization efficiency, adjustable electronic structure, and excellent catalytic efficacy. However, the preparation process of Fe-SACs is complex, requiring precise control of synthesis conditions, with a high technical threshold and being difficult to produce on a large scale; and its loading amount is limited, and the metal loading amount is usually low, which may limit its application in high-concentration reaction systems; in addition, this substance is sensitive to reaction conditions. In some applications, the performance of the catalyst may be limited by reaction conditions (such as temperature, pH value, etc.), resulting in insufficient stability. Especially under long-term operation or extreme conditions, metal atoms may migrate or agglomerate.

[0005] Therefore, it is very urgent to develop a stable, efficient, and easy-to-produce highly efficient Fenton-like catalyst. Summary of the Invention

The Fenton-like catalyst of single-atom iron supported on carbon nitride modified with phenanthroline not only exhibits highly efficient degradation performance of tetracycline hydrochloride at room temperature but also has excellent anti-pH interference ability.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0017] Further, the iron source is ferrous sulfate.

[0018] Further, the iron element accounts for 3% of the mass of the highly efficient Fenton-like catalyst of phenanthroline-modified single-atom iron supported on carbon nitride, phen-Fe-CN.

[0019] The third object of the present invention is to provide an application of the above-mentioned efficient Fenton-like catalyst of phenanthroline-modified single-atom iron supported on carbon nitride in the degradation of pollutants by Fenton-like reaction.

[0022] 2. Based on the introduction of phenanthroline, the present invention endows phen-Fe-CN with more reactive sites and more excellent Fenton-like performance than Fe-CN.

[0023] 3. Compared with the existing heterogeneous Fenton catalyst water treatment technology, the heterogeneous phenanthroline-modified single-atom iron supported on carbon nitride in the present invention for activating peroxymonosulfate to degrade pollutants is not limited by pH and has broad application prospects.

[0047] Test Example

[0048] Testing the application of the above catalyst in the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride includes the following steps:

[0049] At room temperature, 30 mg of the catalyst was added to 100 mL of a tetracycline hydrochloride solution with a concentration of 20 mg / L, ultrasonically dispersed, and stirred for 30 min. Then a sample was taken as the initial concentration of the tetracycline hydrochloride solution in the reaction. Subsequently, 20 mg of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was added to make the PMS concentration in the reaction system 0.65 mmol / L. Timing started, and samples were taken at 1, 2, 4, 7, and 10 minutes, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, and immediately the absorbance was detected using a UV spectrophotometer.

[0051] Figure 2 XPS of Example 1 and the comparative example

[0052] Figure 3 Degradation activity comparison diagram of phen-Fe-CN with different ratios of single-atom iron loading for tetracycline hydrochloride. The degradation rate change curve of the prepared phenanthroline-modified single-atom iron carbon nitride Fenton-like catalyst for 20 mg / L of tetracycline hydrochloride with time is as Figure 3 shown. After 1 min of reaction, the degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride can reach over 50%, and after 10 min of reaction, the degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride reaches 80%. The reaction rate is fast and the conditions are mild, indicating that the phenanthroline-modified single-atom iron carbon nitride catalyst of the present invention has good Fenton-like catalytic performance. Compared with other Fe doping ratios, phen-Fe 0.3 -CN is the optimal sample for degradation.

[0053] Changing the pH value in the reaction of degrading tetracycline hydrochloride, the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride by phen-Fe-CN under different pH conditions was tested, and the results are as Figure 4 shown; from Figure 4It can be seen that in a relatively wide pH range of 1-11, after reacting for 10 minutes, the degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride can reach over 70%, which means that the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride is basically not affected by pH.

[0054] Figure 5 It is a comparison chart of the activities of Example 1 and the comparative example for degrading tetracycline hydrochloride. It can be seen from the figure that the reaction activity of phen-Fe-CN is the best. After reacting for 10 minutes, the degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride reaches 94%, and the degradation rate of Fe-CN for tetracycline hydrochloride is only 42%.

[0055] In summary, through the modification of phenanthroline, the uniform dispersion of single-atom iron on carbon nitride is achieved, making full use of the activity of iron atoms, increasing the active sites, improving the catalytic efficiency of the catalyst, and it can be widely used in the degradation of pollutants by the Fenton-like reaction.
