Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of environmental functional materials, in particular to a preparation method of a cerium-doped goethite adsorption material and application thereof. The adsorption material is prepared by controllable doping and surface modification technology, and can realize efficient capture and removal of extracellular antibiotic resistance genes under complex water environment conditions, and is suitable for complex water body environment treatment. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in water bodies has become a major challenge in the field of global public health. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 2021 that more than 1.27 million people died each year due to drug-resistant bacterial infections, and the number is expected to rise to 10 million by 2050. Among them, extracellular antibiotic resistance genes (eARGs) exist in the form of plasmids, free DNA fragments, and other forms in water environment, and their environmental persistence (half-life can reach several weeks to several months) and horizontal transfer potential are significantly higher than that of intracellular ARGs. eARGs can enter the human body through drinking water, irrigation water and other ways, induce pathogenic bacteria to acquire drug resistance, and seriously threaten the safety of the medical system.
[0003] The current removal technologies for waterborne eARGs mainly include advanced oxidation, biodegradation and adsorption. The technical bottlenecks are as follows: UV, persulfate (PS), Fenton and other advanced oxidation processes can destroy the DNA chain structure through free radical attack, but there are significant defects, such as the risk of by-products. Hydroxyl radical (·OH) attacks organic matter indiscriminately, which may degrade macromolecular eARGs into small fragments (<500 bp) that are more easily taken up by bacteria, thereby promoting resistance transmission. In addition, this method is costly, consumes a lot of electricity when treating water, and requires continuous addition of chemical reagents (such as H2O2), resulting in rising operating costs. The biodegradation method, such as functionalized biofilm technology based on phage and nuclease, has the advantage of specific recognition, but the functional enzymes have poor tolerance in complex environments, and the environmental release of genetically engineered bacteria may also cause environmental safety controversy. In contrast, the adsorption method does not require other energy or reagents, and is simple and green, with great development space. However, traditional adsorbents also have limitations, such as low efficiency and poor selectivity of activated carbon; although nZVI has reduction and degradation ability, it is easily oxidized and inactivated under aerobic conditions, and may cause DNA chain breakage to produce more easily transferred short fragments; eARGs carry strong negative charges (Zeta potential ≈-30 mV) in natural water bodies (pH 7.0-8.0), while the isoelectric point (pHpzc) of traditional metal oxide adsorbents (such as Al2O3 and Fe3O4) is higher than 8.0, resulting in electrostatic repulsion; commercial anion exchange resins can capture DNA through electrostatic attraction, but are significantly affected by humic acid competitive adsorption. Therefore, it is necessary to seek more effective and reliable adsorbents to achieve efficient removal of free eARGs.
[0004] Goethite (FeOOH) is considered as a potential adsorbent due to its environmental friendliness and rich surface hydroxyl groups, but its inherent characteristics seriously limit its adsorption efficiency for eARGs, such as mismatch of surface charge and pore size, environmental sensitivity, etc. Based on the above defects, cerium (Ce) is selected as a doping element, which can break through the limitations of traditional adsorbents through the following mechanisms: (1) active site enrichment and coordination bonding. The doping of Ce element can increase the surface hydroxyl group density or introduce oxygen vacancy active sites. Ce-OH groups (pKa ≈ 6.8) are preferentially protonated at physiological pH, becoming strong coordination sites for DNA phosphate groups (pKa ≈ 1.5). The Ce-O-Fe bond forms an electron transfer channel, enhancing the π-π stacking effect on DNA bases and improving adsorption. The formation of oxygen vacancies and the exposure of surrounding unpaired Ce(III) / Fe(III) also provide more adsorption sites for eARGs. (2) surface charge optimization and electrostatic attraction enhancement. Ce 3+ Substituting Fe in the FeOOH lattice 3+The doping of Ce enhances the protonation tendency, lowers the isoelectric point of the material, and increases the electrostatic attraction to the negatively charged eARGs.
[0005] Based on the above theoretical basis, the Ce-doped goethite adsorbent Ce-FeOOH is expected to achieve efficient, stable, and sustainable eARGs removal through the synergistic mechanism of coordination bond strengthening, surface charge optimization, and interference resistance enhancement.

[0161] The embodiments, comparative examples of the present application are explained as follows in combination with the drawings.
[0162] X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Ce 3d, and O 1s fine spectra were performed on Ce-FeOOH adsorbent material C5 with a Ce doping content of 10.9 wt% prepared in Example 1 of this invention and Ce-FeOOH adsorbent material C1 with a Ce doping content of 1.5 wt% prepared in Comparative Example 3. The results are summarized in Table 1. Analysis of the elemental composition of the full spectrum shows that the Ce content increases with increasing Ce doping content, from 1.51 wt% to 10.91 wt%. Analysis of the Ce 3d characteristic peaks of adsorbent materials C1 and C5 revealed that Ce is loaded on the FeOOH surface in a mixed valence state of Ce(III) and Ce(IV). This is because during the impregnation process, the oxygen partial pressure and local redox environment in the solution may promote the partial loading of Ce. 3+ Oxidized to Ce 4+ This leads to the formation of mixed valence states. Furthermore, with increasing Ce doping concentration, the Ce(III) content increases from 17.8% to 30.0%. Peak fitting of the O1s characteristic peaks of C1 and C5 adsorbents reveals a significant increase in hydroxyl oxygen (from 41.12% to 51.82%). These results demonstrate that this invention successfully prepared Ce-FeOOH composite materials with different Ce doping concentrations via an equal-volume impregnation method. With increasing Ce doping concentration, the proportion of Ce(III) ions gradually increases, and the hydroxyl oxygen content on the material surface increases. Characterization analysis preliminarily predicts that when Ce replaces Fe on the FeOOH surface, more surface hydroxyl groups are formed on the FeOOH surface to balance the charge, increasing the active sites for Fe-OP complexation with DNA. Secondly, Ce-OH also exhibits a stronger affinity for DNA than Fe-OH, meaning Ce... 3+ ionic radius Much larger than Fe 3+ Its higher coordination number and the unsaturated Ce-OH groups on the surface expose more active sites, giving the doped material the potential to adsorb DNA through enhanced metal-to-coordination interactions. Similarly, other lanthanides with similar structures to Ce, such as La... 3+ Eu 3+ Tm 3+ It also has a larger ionic radius. With a higher coordination number, it can form more coordinate-unsaturated Ln-OH active sites, which has great potential in the design of FeOOH-based DNA adsorbent materials.

[0165] The adsorption effect of the adsorbent C5 prepared in Example 1 of the present application and the adsorbents C1-C4 prepared in Comparative Examples 3-6 and Comparative Example 1 without adding the adsorbent and the FeOOH adsorbent C0 without doping Ce prepared in Comparative Example 2 on eARGs in water is shown in Table 1. Figure 1 Under the conditions of the initial Amp concentration of 0.1 mg / L and the adsorbent dosage of 50 mg / L, the adsorbents C1-C5 and C0 all have the adsorption phenomenon. Among them, with the increase of the Ce doping amount, the adsorption effect on Amp is significantly enhanced. The Ce-FeOOH adsorbent with the Ce doping amount of 10.9% can adsorb 86.25% of Amp at 120 min, which is increased by 51.0% compared with the FeOOH adsorbent C0 without doping Ce (35.90%). In summary, the doping of Ce on the surface of FeOOH effectively improves the adsorption effect on eARGs, and the adsorption effect is proportional to the doping amount.
[0166] Example 2 and Comparative Examples 7-10 of the present application are the adsorption effect of the FeOOH adsorbent C5 (Ce doping amount of 10.9%) on eARGs in water under different dosages. As shown in Table 2, Figure 2 Under the condition of the initial Amp concentration of 0.1 mg / L, with the increase of the dosage, the adsorption performance of the C5 adsorbent on Amp is also obviously improved. When the dosage is 80 mg / L, 88.23% of Amp can be removed at 30 min. When the adsorption time is prolonged to 120 min, the experimental groups all reach the adsorption equilibrium (Δadsorption amount <10%), and no significant desorption phenomenon is observed after the equilibrium.
[0167] Examples 3-9 of the present application are the adsorption effect of the Ce-FeOOH adsorbent C5 on the concentration of extracellular resistance genes (Amp) in water of 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.4 mg / L, and the adsorption data is fitted by using the Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal models, and the FeOOH adsorbent C0 prepared in Comparative Example 2 is used as the control group. As shown in Table 3, Figure 3 The adsorption data of the two kinds of adsorbents are well fitted to the Langmuir model (FeOOH: R 2 =0.96; Ce-FeOOH: R 2 =0.94), indicating that the adsorption behavior is dominated by monolayer chemical adsorption. Among them, the maximum adsorption capacity of the C0 adsorbent is 1.9×10 13 copies / mg, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the C5 adsorbent is significantly improved to 2.2×10 14 copies / mg, which is increased by 11.5 times compared with the C0 adsorbent. This difference confirms that the introduction of Ce effectively enhances the capture capacity of eARGs by regulating the adsorption sites and charge distribution characteristics on the surface of the material.
[0168] Examples 10-13 and Comparative Examples 11-13 of this invention demonstrate the adsorption effect of Ce-FeOOH adsorbent C5 on eARGs in water at different pH values. Figure 4 As shown, when pH ≤ 7.0 ± 0.1, the adsorption efficiency is greater than 80.0%, and the adsorption effect increases with decreasing pH. Conversely, when pH = 8.0 ± 0.1, the adsorption effect decreases by 21.5% compared to pH = 7 ± 0.1; when pH = 9.0 ± 0.1, the effect decreases by 66.9%; and when pH = 10.0 ± 0.1, adsorption is inhibited. In summary, Ce-FeOOH doped materials exhibit stable removal efficiency for eARGs over a wide pH range.
[0169] Examples 14-16 and Comparative Example 14 of this invention demonstrate the adsorption effect of Ce-FeOOH adsorbent C5 on eARGs in water under different salinity levels. Figure 5 As shown, the adsorption effect gradually increases with the increase of NaCl concentration in the water. In the freshwater system (10 mmol / L NaCl), the adsorption effect is 86.9%, which is 10.6% higher than that without ionic strength (66.1%). When the NaCl concentration is 100–500 mmol / L, the adsorption effect increases by 32.7–33.9%, which is significantly better than that in the freshwater environment. In summary, Ce-FeOOH doped materials can adapt to the adsorption and removal of eARGs under different NaCl concentration conditions in water. Therefore, if it is necessary to improve the adsorption and removal effect of Ce-FeOOH on eARGs, the pH value or ionic strength of the water environment can be appropriately increased.
[0170] Examples 17 and Comparative Examples 15-17 demonstrate the effect of adsorbent C5 on the adsorption of extracellular resistance gene (Amp) contamination in water, followed by regeneration with 0.05 mol / L NaOH solution for 360 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min, with simultaneous eARG elimination. Examples 18 and Comparative Examples 18-20 demonstrate the effect of adsorbent C5 on the adsorption of extracellular resistance gene (Amp) contamination in water, followed by regeneration with 0.1 mol / L NaOH solution for 360 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min, with simultaneous eARG elimination. Examples 19 and Comparative Examples 21-23 demonstrate the effect of adsorbent C5 on the adsorption of extracellular resistance gene (Amp) contamination in water, followed by regeneration with 0.2 mol / L NaOH solution for 360 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min, with simultaneous eARG elimination. The results are as follows. Figure 6As shown. When the concentration of NaOH is 0.05 mol / L, the degradation efficiency of eARG reaches 23.44% within 30 min; when the concentration of NaOH is 0.1 mol / L, the degradation efficiency of eARG increases to 53.87% within 30 min. When the concentration of NaOH is higher than 0.2 mol / L, the degradation efficiency of eARG exceeds 83.87% within 30 min, realizing the effective disinfection of the adsorbed eARG. This is due to the characteristics of NaOH solution. On the one hand, the strong alkali solution can completely dissociate hydroxyl ions in water, complete the replacement with the phosphoric acid group on the adsorbed eARG, and realize the regeneration of the adsorbent; at the same time, the high pH of the NaOH solution can cause substantial degradation of eARG.
[0171] The embodiment 20 of the present application is the effect of recycling use of the adsorbent material C5 after regeneration and synchronous eARG disinfection by 0.05 mol / L NaOH solution, as shown in Figure 7 The Ce-FeOOH adsorbent material has good adsorption performance for eARG after the adsorption-regeneration cycle experiment period. After 5 adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorption performance of the Ce-FeOOH adsorbent material is reduced by 15.95%. It shows good regeneration and recycling performance.
[0172] In summary, NaOH as a regeneration solution can complete the regeneration of the adsorbent within 30 min. If it is desired to complete the effective degradation of eARG during the elution and regeneration process, it is necessary to prolong the elution time or increase the concentration of NaOH. In addition, the Ce-FeOOH adsorbent regenerated by NaOH has good recycling performance.
[0173] The comparative examples 24-28 of the present application are adsorbent materials doped with different metals goethite, and the comparative example 29 is a Ce-doped Fe3O4 adsorbent material. The adsorption effect of Amp is compared, as shown in Figure 8 Test criteria Adsorbent material C1 Adsorbent material C5 Ce element content Ce(III) / (Ce(III) + Ce(IV)) Hydroxyl oxygen content Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Under the same concentration of pollutants and the same adsorbent dosage, the Ce-doped goethite has the best adsorption effect on Amp, and the C / C0 at 120 min is 0.13, which is significantly lower than other metals such as Zn (C / C0=0.67), Cu (C / C0=0.47), Co (C / C0=0.33), Fe (C / C0=0.46), and Mn (C / C0=0.38). This shows that in the modification of goethite materials doped with typical transition metals and lanthanide metals, the lanthanide metal represented by Ce has outstanding effect and advantage in the application of modified goethite adsorbent in removing extracellular resistance genes. In addition, the Ce-doped on the surface of other substrates (such as magnetite Fe3O4) is used for adsorbing eARG, and no obvious adsorption effect is observed. This reflects the specificity of the bonding of Ce and FeOOH and the superiority in the application of adsorbing extracellular resistance genes.
