Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of functional material preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a magnetic superhydrophobic graphene aerogel based on a biomass template. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the industrialization process, offshore oil spills occur frequently, posing a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Among the existing oil-water separation technologies, the adsorption method has attracted much attention due to its advantages such as low cost, simple operation, and high efficiency. Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) shows potential in the field of oil-water separation due to its tunable wettability, high specific surface area, and layered structure. However, two-dimensional RGO nanosheets are prone to agglomeration and difficult to recycle, while three-dimensional graphene aerogel (GA) can alleviate this problem, but still has the following defects:

[0003] (1) The strong van der Waals force and π-π interaction between graphene sheets lead to pore structure collapse and poor mechanical stability;

[0004] (2) The surface of pure GA is hydrophilic and oleophilic, with low adsorption selectivity;

[0005] (3) Powdered materials are likely to cause secondary pollution.

[0006] In the prior art, although the introduction of magnetic components (such as Fe3O4) can improve the recyclability, it is difficult to simultaneously achieve superhydrophobic properties and structural stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop graphene-based composites with high adsorption capacity, excellent selectivity, and cyclic stability. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A preparation method of a magnetic superhydrophobic graphene aerogel based on a biomass template, comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) Constructing a magnetic precursor: Dispersing hollow CuFe2O4 nanospheres and graphene oxide in an acidic solution with pH ≤ 3 according to a mass ratio of 1:1 - 1:4, and forming a magnetic graphene oxide MGO suspension through ultrasonic treatment;

[0010] (2) Biomass composite assembly: Immerse the columnar biomass sponge framework in the magnetic graphene oxide MGO suspension, and the biomass sponge powder with a particle size of 0.5 - 1 μm is uniformly dispersed in the magnetic graphene oxide MGO suspension; through the drive of an ultrasonic field, three-dimensional pore filling is achieved to obtain a columnar biomass sponge framework loaded with magnetic graphene oxide and biomass sponge powder;

[0011] (3) In-situ solvothermal reaction: The columnar biomass sponge framework loaded with magnetic graphene oxide and biomass sponge powder is heated in a closed system at a gradient of 70 - 90 °C to complete the in-situ reduction of magnetic graphene oxide and the interfacial bonding of biomass - nanospheres, obtaining a hydrogel;

[0012] (4) Supercritical drying and forming: Immerse the hydrogel in a 10 - 20 vol% tert-butanol solution, and after rapid freezing with liquid nitrogen, perform room-temperature vacuum drying to obtain a superhydrophobic graphene aerogel with a porosity ≥ 98%.

[0013] (The sum of the columnar biomass sponge framework and the biomass sponge powder) / magnetic graphene oxide mass ratio is 1:4 - 2:4; the mass ratio of the columnar biomass sponge framework to magnetic graphene oxide MGO is 1:4, and the impregnation time is 10 - 30 min.

[0014] For the said columnar biomass sponge framework, the axial through-hole ≥ 300 μm; for the biomass sponge powder, the specific surface area ≥ 20 m 2 / g.

[0017] In the said graphene oxide, the C / O atomic ratio ≤ 1.8; the thickness of the graphene oxide sheet is 1.00 - 1.58 nm, and the lateral size of the graphene oxide is 1 - 5 μm

[0018] The said gradient heating process is that the temperature gradient increases, and the heating time gradient decreases at each temperature.

[0019] The said gradient heating process is specifically 70 °C × 50 min → 80 °C × 40 min → 90 °C × 30 min, and the heating rate in each stage ≤ 5 °C / min.

[0020] The prepared superhydrophobic graphene aerogel has a water contact angle ≥ 160° and an oil contact angle ≤ 5°. The superhydrophobic graphene aerogel has the following characteristics: a) a hierarchical pore structure with a BET specific surface area ≥ 200 m 2 / g; b) superparamagnetism with a saturation magnetization intensity ≥ 45 emu / g; c) a capacity retention rate ≥ 92% after 20 adsorption-desorption cycles.

[0022] Advantages of the present invention:

[0023] 1. Enhanced physical structure stability: The hollow CuFe2O4 nanospheres have a unique three-dimensional hollow structure, which can provide a large specific surface area and porosity, while the biomass template provides a stable skeletal support for the graphene aerogel. This structural design not only improves the mechanical strength of the graphene aerogel but also enhances its stability in complex environments. The hollow structure helps to reduce the density of the material while maintaining sufficient strength, making it more durable in practical applications.

[0024] 2.

[0025] 3. Good magnetic separation performance: The CuFe2O4 nanospheres have good magnetism and can be guided and separated by an external magnetic field. By applying an external magnetic field, it is convenient to separate the graphene aerogel adsorbed with pollutants from water, simplifying the solid-liquid separation process and improving the treatment efficiency and operation convenience.

[0026] 4. Biocompatibility and environmental friendliness: The biomass template is derived from natural materials and has good biocompatibility and degradability. The use of this natural material not only reduces secondary pollution to the environment but also improves the safety and sustainability of the material. It has broad application prospects in the field of environmental remediation.

[0027] 5. Simple preparation process: The preparation method of the present invention is simple and feasible. Through the solvothermal method and in-situ growth technology, the uniform distribution and controllable growth of hollow CuFe2O4 nanospheres and graphene oxide nanosheets on the biomass template can be achieved. This simple preparation process not only reduces the production cost but also improves the reproducibility and consistency of the material, which is conducive to large-scale production and popularization.

[0036] The particle size of the loofah sponge powder is 0.5 - 1.0 μm, and the mass ratio to magnetic graphene oxide is 1:4 - 2:4.

[0037] 2. Preparation method

[0038] (1) Preparation of precursor: Disperse graphene oxide HGO and hollow CuFe2O4 nanospheres in deionized water (the mass ratio of HGO:CuFe2O4:water is 1:1:200), and ultrasonicate for 30 min to obtain a magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) suspension;

[0039] (2) Composite assembly: Add LS powder and cylindrical LS skeleton to the MGO suspension, ultrasonicate for 40 min, and then react at 70 - 90 °C for 30 - 50 min to form a three-dimensional hydrogel;

[0040] (3) Post-treatment: After the hydrogel is replaced with 10 vol% tert-butanol, it is quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C) and dried at room temperature to obtain a superhydrophobic graphene aerogel (CLGA).

[0041] 3. Structural Design Innovation

[0042] (1) Hierarchical pore construction: The hollow CuFe2O4 nanospheres (with a diameter of 50 - 100 nm) interpenetrate and support the graphene oxide sheets, inhibiting interlayer stacking to form a micro-mesoporous hierarchical structure (specific surface area ≥ 250 m 2 / g);

[0043] (2) Skeleton reinforcement: The LS fiber skeleton (porosity > 90%) serves as a macroscopic scaffold to enhance the mechanical strength (compressive modulus ≥ 10 kPa);

[0044] (3) Surface modification: The CuFe2O4 / LS composite roughness results in a contact angle > 150°, and the oil adsorption capacity reaches 50 - 90 g / g.

[0045] Overview of the preparation method:

[0046] The core of the present invention lies in introducing the loofah sponge (LS) skeleton and magnetic hollow CuFe2O4 nanospheres into the graphene aerogel (GA) synergistically through an electrostatic co-assembly-solvothermal in-situ reduction coupling process to construct a composite material with superhydrophobic and superoleophilic properties, high adsorption capacity, and magnetic responsiveness. The specific implementation process includes the following key steps:

[0047] 1. Synthesis of highly oxidized graphene (HGO)

[0048] Scaly graphite is oxidized using a mixed acid (H2SO4:HNO3 = 10:1) system, and through gradient temperature control (45°C pre-oxidation → 60°C layer expansion → 90°C deep oxidation), a bright yellow HGO sponge rich in hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface is obtained.

[0049] Differences from traditional graphene oxide (GO): The interlayer spacing of HGO expands to 0.85 nm, and the magnetic separation efficiency is increased to 98% (without centrifugation), which is conducive to large-scale production.

[0050] 2. Preparation of magnetic graphene (MGO)

[0051] The hollow CuFe2O4 nanospheres (particle size 80 - 120 nm, specific surface area 210 m 2 / g) and HGO are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1, and self-assembled through electrostatic interaction to form an MGO composite suspension.

[0052] Functional advantages: The introduction of CuFe2O4 enables the material to reach a saturation magnetization intensity of 51.6 emu / g, realizing magnetic-driven recovery.

[0054] Loofah sponge powder (particle size 0.5 - 1.0 μm) and columnar LS skeletons (Φ0.6 cm × H2.5 cm) were added to the MGO suspension, and the reaction was carried out at 80 °C for 40 min to form a three-dimensional hydrogel.

[0055] Structure regulation: The LS skeleton acts as a macroscopic support network to inhibit the stacking of graphene sheets; CuFe2O4 nanospheres are embedded between the layers to form a micro-mesoporous hierarchical structure (pore size distribution 50 nm - 5 μm).

[0056] 4. Supercritical drying and hydrophobic modification

[0057] After the hydrogel was replaced with tert-butanol, it was quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C) and dried at room temperature to obtain CLGA.

[0058] Surface characteristics: The composite roughness of CuFe2O4 / LS makes the water contact angle reach 160 ± 2°, and the oil contact angle approaches 0° ( Figure 3 a).

[0062] LGA ( Figure 4 (d)-(f)): The LS skeleton forms through macropores (pore diameter 1 - 5 μm) as the main oil storage channels;

[0063] CuFe2O4 nanospheres interpenetrate with graphene sheets to construct a micro / mesoporous (< 50 nm)-macroporous (50 - 200 nm) hierarchical network ( Figure 4 (g)-(i)), and the porosity is increased to 93%;

[0064] The specific surface area reaches 532.8 m 2 / g (BET test), which is 17.5 times higher than that of pure GA (30.47 m 2 / g).

[0065] 2. Adsorption and cycling performance

[0066] Adsorption capacity: The adsorption amount of chloroform by CLGA reaches 88 g / g, which is significantly improved compared with LGA (55.7 g / g) and GA (39.3 g / g) (Table 1);

[0067] Cycling stability: After 20 adsorption-desorption cycles, the capacity retention rate of CLGA > 90%, attributed to the mechanical support of the LS skeleton.

[0068] 3. Verification of oil-water separation application

[0069] Heavy oil separation: Press CLGA into a filter element with Φ20mm×10mm. The 20mL chloroform / water mixture is completely separated within 10s, and the water phase interception rate is 100%;

[0070] Continuous collection of light oil: Build a magnetically controlled separation device, and the toluene flux reaches 5000L·m -2 ·h -1 , and the flux decay is <5% after 10 cycles.

[0071] Summary of key innovation points
