[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a method for testing the purification performance of an ecological fish tank for a water purification catalyst for an ecological fish tank. This method tests the purification ability of the graphene composite photocatalyst for the ecological fish tank, including the following steps;

[0039] Step 1: Build an ecological fish tank system. The system includes a fish tank 100, a circulation pump 200, a first pipeline 300, a second pipeline 400, a filter 500, and an LED lamp 600. Connect the output end and the input end of the circulation pump 200 to the second pipeline 400 and the first pipeline 300 respectively. Then connect the second pipeline 400 to the filter 500, and the first pipeline 300 to the fish tank 100. The shell of the filter 500 is made of a light-transmitting material. Multiple layers of filter cotton are arranged inside the filter 500, and the graphene composite photocatalyst is evenly loaded on the surface of the filter cotton, while ensuring that the LED lamp 600 can irradiate the filter 500.

[0040] Step 2: Start the circulation pump 200 to ensure that the water in the fish tank 100 can flow into the filter 500 through the first pipeline 300 and the second pipeline 400, and ensure that the water can pass through the multiple layers of filter cotton and flow into the fish tank 100 under the action of gravity.

[0041] Step 3: Conduct a circulating water test to ensure that no photocatalyst leaks into the water body.

[0042] Step 4: Put 3 - 5 goldfish into the fish tank 100 and place it for one week to turn the water green under the condition of not turning on the circulation pump 200 and the LED lamp 600.

[0043] Step 5: Turn on the circulation pump 200 and the LED lamp 600, and observe the change in the color of the water body.

[0044] Step 6: Collect the aqueous solutions before and after illumination and send them to a testing institution for chemical analysis of the products using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry technology to obtain the purification data of the graphene composite photocatalyst for the ecological fish tank. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] The present invention provides a technical solution: a method for testing the degradation performance of a water purification catalyst for an ecological fish tank, which tests the degradation ability of the graphene composite photocatalyst for organic pollutants. The test is carried out under full - spectrum conditions, using a 500W xenon lamp as the light source, and the average light intensity of the reaction system is 35mW / cm 2 , and organic compounds 2,4 - dichlorophenol, bisphenol A, and phenol are used to simulate the organic pollutants in the fish tank. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Take 25mg of the photocatalyst powder and evenly disperse it in 50mL of a 2,4 - dichlorophenol solution with a concentration of 5ppm.

[0046] Step 2: Before illumination, the solution obtained in Step 1 was stirred for 1 hour under dark conditions to achieve adsorption-desorption equilibrium.

[0047] Step 3: After turning on the light, 3 mL of samples were taken at 1-hour intervals. After centrifugal sedimentation and filtration operations, the clear liquid was collected, and the change in phenol concentration was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography to evaluate the degradation performance of the material.

[0048] Step 4: The detection mobile phase was adjusted according to different pollutant probe molecules and was prepared by mixing methanol and pure water at different volume ratios. For phenol, it was 55%:45%, for 2,4-dichlorophenol, it was 75%:25%, and for bisphenol A, it was 70%:30%. The flow rate was 1 mL / min for all.

[0049] Step 5: Record the degree of pollutant degradation of the graphene composite photocatalyst under the full spectrum and the apparent rate constants of 0.371 h-1 for 2,4-dichlorophenol, 0.342 h-1 for bisphenol A, and 0.057 h-1 for phenol. In this example, the high-performance liquid chromatograph was LC-20AT produced by Shimadzu Corporation of Japan, with a UV detector, the detection wavelength was 270 nm, and the chromatographic column was an XBP-C18 column.

[0050] Test results: The ultra-large specific surface area and excellent electron transport performance of graphene significantly improved the photocatalytic efficiency. The apparent degradation rate constants for pollutants such as 2,4-dichlorophenol and bisphenol A reached 0.371 h -1 and 0.342 h -1 ; By degrading eutrophic organic matter, the nutrient source for algal reproduction was blocked, and at the same time, the active oxygen species generated by photocatalysis directly damaged the algal cell structure; The composite photocatalyst avoided nanoparticle leakage through optimized formulation and loading processes, ensuring harmlessness to fish; The composite photocatalyst still maintained more than 90% of its catalytic activity after continuous operation for 30 days.
