[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in S12, the dosage ratio of potassium permanganate to deionized water is 1 g: 69 - 72 mL.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method of adding the pretreated sepiolite in S20 is to add it while stirring; the specific operation of adjusting the pH of the solution and stirring is: adjusting the pH of the solution to 7.0 - 7.5 with sodium hydroxide solution and stirring for 1 - 2 h; the standing is standing at room temperature for 10 - 12 h; the washing is washing with ultrapure water for 3 - 5 times; the temperature of the temperature-controlled drying is 100 - 105 °C; the sieving is sieving through a 300-mesh sieve.

[0024] Advantages of the present invention:

[0025] (1) The present invention selects sepiolite with a layered porous structure as the carrier. Since there are many acidic and basic centers on the surface of sepiolite, sepiolite has strong adsorption performance, which increases the speed of adsorbing VOCs. In addition, sepiolite is natural and has good stability and catalytic properties; on this basis, potassium permanganate and copper trifluoroacetate hydrate are used to increase the specific surface area of sepiolite, laying a foundation for loading zinc acetate dihydrate and platinum metal nanoparticles, effectively providing more sites as channels for VOCs molecules to flow rapidly in the catalyst, which is conducive to the mass transfer and degradation of VOCs molecules inside the catalyst. That is, during the treatment of VOCs, adsorption, mass transfer, and degradation occur simultaneously, and the raw materials complement each other, making the prepared catalyst have outstanding photocatalytic performance and durability.

[0026] (2) The present invention adds potassium permanganate, and the solution hydrolyzes to be acidic, the bonds in sepiolite break, and the internal channels are connected. At the same time, the microstructural structure of copper trifluoroacetate hydrate increases the pores and channels of the internal structure of sepiolite, resulting in changes in the internal structure of sepiolite. Thus, in cooperation with potassium permanganate, the specific surface area of sepiolite is further increased, enabling sepiolite to provide a large number of active sites, laying a foundation for the growth and attachment of zinc acetate dihydrate and platinum metal nanoparticles in the follow-up. In addition, the larger specific surface area can extend the residence time of VOCs in the catalyst region, that is, it lays a good foundation for the prepared catalyst to have excellent catalytic performance.

[0027] (3) The present invention adds stearic acid. The carboxyl group in stearic acid binds to the surface hydroxyl groups of sepiolite, reducing the surface tension of sepiolite, preventing its aggregation and caking, effectively improving the dispersion degree of sepiolite, making its function more significant, and further enhancing the catalytic performance during the use of the catalyst.

[0028] (4) The present invention loads zinc acetate dihydrate with sufficient active oxygen groups and a rich surface pore structure on sepiolite, ensuring that the prepared catalyst has a sufficient number of active oxygen groups to oxidize and degrade VOCs. At the same time, the rich pore structure provides more sites as channels for the rapid flow of VOCs molecules in the catalyst, facilitating the mass transfer of VOCs molecules inside the catalyst, thereby improving the photocatalytic efficiency. In addition, since zinc acetate dihydrate belongs to a wide-bandgap semiconductor and can utilize less sunlight, the present invention also adds chloroplatinic acid solution for surface modification as a bridge to induce the photo-generated electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band of zinc acetate dihydrate, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic effect of the catalyst.

[0077] Test Example

[0078] (1) Use a closed glass reactor with quartz glass at the top, equipped with a gas inlet, a gas outlet, a gas sampling port, and a temperature sensor, and an internal volume of 100 mL. Simulate the sunlight source with a 300 W xenon lamp. Drop 2 mL of deionized water into the bottom of the closed glass reactor, and then place a quartz reactor (d = 20 mm, h = 30 mm) containing 50 mg of the composite catalyst at the bottom of the closed glass reactor. Introduce pure O2 (2 atm) to remove the air in the device. Use a microsyringe to inject 3 μL of toluene / formaldehyde solution into the closed glass reactor. At the same time, place the closed glass reactor in the dark for 30 min to establish an adsorption-desorption equilibrium between the sample and toluene / formaldehyde. Then turn on the xenon lamp for photocatalytic degradation reaction. Every 20 min, use a glass syringe to take out 500 μL of the reacted gas sample from the sampling port for quantitative analysis until 80 min. In this way, the photocatalytic effects of the composite catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are detected. Among them, the initial concentrations of toluene and formaldehyde are 0.8 mg / L and 0.16 mg / L, respectively. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0079] (2) Use the same test method to cycle test each composite catalyst in Test (1). Observe the number of times when the removal rate of toluene or formaldehyde by Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 is lower than 90% at the 120th min, so as to reflect the durability of the composite catalyst. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0080] Table 2

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] As can be seen from Table 2, the composite catalyst prepared by the present invention has excellent VOCs removal rate. Specifically, from Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be seen that the potassium permanganate and copper trifluoroacetate hydrate added in the present invention can increase the specific surface area of sepiolite, enabling it to provide a large number of active sites, laying a foundation for the growth and attachment of zinc acetate dihydrate and platinum metal nanoparticles subsequently. In addition, the larger specific surface area can extend the residence time of VOCs in the catalyst region, that is, it lays a good foundation for the excellent catalytic performance of the prepared catalyst; from Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the stearic acid added in the present invention reduces the surface tension of sepiolite, preventing its aggregation and caking, effectively improving the dispersion degree of sepiolite, making its role more significant, that is, further strengthening the catalytic performance during the use of the catalyst; from Comparative Examples 4-5, it can be seen that the zinc acetate dihydrate and chloroplatinic acid solution added in the present invention are the reasons why the prepared composite catalyst has excellent VOCs removal rate.
