Among various chemical processing methods of coal, there are high-temperature carbonization, low-temperature carbonization, gasification, liquefaction, coal-based chemical production and other coal processing products. Coking is the earliest and still the most important method, and its main purpose is to produce metallurgical coke and semi-coke. The wastewater discharged by coal chemical enterprises is generated during the coal processing process, including coking wastewater, gasification wastewater, liquefaction wastewater, mainly high-concentration gas washing wastewater.

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples only.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] Step 1: Preparation of g-C3N4 / CeO2
[0037] 3.000 g of cerium nitrate hexahydrate and 15.000 g of urea were added to 20 mL of deionized water, and magnetically stirred at 400 r / min at 20 °C for 1 h. The obtained mixed solution was transferred into a 100 mL corundum crucible, first dried at 100 °C for 5 h in a blast drying oven, then calcined at 400 °C for 1 h in a muffle furnace, and then the temperature was raised to 575 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min and calcined for 2 h. After calcination, it was naturally cooled and ground to obtain g-C3N4 / CeO2.
[0038] Step 2: Preparation of Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2
[0039] 0.375 g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate and 1.520 g of g-C3N4 / CeO2 were added to 20 mL of a mixed aqueous solution containing 20 mg of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and 2 g of mannitol. After stirring evenly, 0.1550 g of cobalt carbonyl was added, and the pH was adjusted to 12.5 with 2 mol / L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, then 10 g of 80% by mass hydrazine hydrate was added. After stirring evenly, it was transferred into a polytetrafluoroethylene inner liner and reacted at 200 °C for 72 h. After centrifugation, washing and drying, it was calcined at 600 °C for 8 h in a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling, the final product Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 was obtained. Based on the mass of g-C3N4 being 100%, the content of CeO2 was 1.25% and the content of Co was 1%.
[0040] The obtained product was subjected to structural characterization, and the results are shown in Figures 1 - 5 . From Figure 1 it can be seen that g-C3N4 has two peaks, and the peak at 13.12° corresponds to the (100) crystal plane of g-C3N4. The calculation method of this distance is d 1 / 40.671 nm. The peak at 27.50° corresponds to the interlayer stacking of the aromatic segments, with a distance of 0.324 nm, which is denoted as the (002) peak of the conjugated aromatic system stacking. Figure 2 In, 810.2 cm -1 corresponds to the bending vibration peak of the pyrazine ring unit, and the peaks between 1200 and 1600 cm -1 (1234.2, 1315.4, 1406.3, 1572.1) correspond to the stretching vibration peaks of C-N and C=N on the nitrogen-carbon ring, and these values further prove that the synthesized material is graphitic carbon nitride. Figures 3 - 5 It can be clearly seen that Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 is an ultrathin layered structure with good Co loading on the surface.

After stirring evenly, 0.1050 g of cobalt carbonyl was added. The other steps were the same as those in Example 1, and Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 was obtained. Based on the mass of g-C3N4 being 100%, the CeO2 content was 1.25% and the Co content was 1.5%.

After stirring evenly, 0.1900 g of cobalt carbonyl was added. The other steps were the same as those in Example 1, and Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 was obtained. Based on the mass of g-C3N4 being 100%, the CeO2 content was 1.25% and the Co content was 2%.

At 65 °C, the pH was adjusted to 9 with 2 mol / L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, and photothermal degradation reaction was carried out at a stirring speed of 300 r / min for 120 min and dark reaction for 20 min. The absorbance was measured every 20 min during the reaction and the values were recorded. The results are shown in Figure 8 . From Figure 8It can be seen that 1.5 wt% Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 has the best photothermal degradation effect at 65 °C and pH 9, and the degradation rate reaches 97.2%.
[0055] Replace the above-mentioned anhydrous ethanol solution of furan with a mass fraction of 10% with 50 mL of anhydrous ethanol solution of thiophene with a mass fraction of 10%. The results are shown in Figure 9 . From Figure 9 It can be seen that 1.5 wt% Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 has the best photothermal degradation effect at 65 °C and pH 9, and the degradation rate reaches 92.1%.
[0056] Replace the above-mentioned anhydrous ethanol solution of furan with a mass fraction of 10% with 50 mL of anhydrous ethanol solution of pyridine with a mass fraction of 10%. The results are shown in Figure 10 . From Figure 10 It can be seen that 1.5 wt% Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 has the best photothermal degradation effect at 65 °C and pH 9, and the degradation rate reaches 96.8%.
[0057] Replace the above-mentioned anhydrous ethanol solution of furan with a mass fraction of 10% with 50 mL of anhydrous ethanol solution of quinoline with a mass fraction of 10%. The results are shown in Figure 12 . From Figure 12 It can be seen that 1.5 wt% Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 has the best photothermal degradation effect at 65 °C and pH 9, and the degradation rate reaches 93.9%.
[0058] This proves that the Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 with different cobalt contents above has an effect on degrading each component of coal chemical wastewater, and it is not limited to this content.
[0059] (4) Influence of the number of recycling times on the degradation of coal chemical wastewater by Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2
[0060] Take 0.100 g of Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 prepared in Example 1 and 50 mL of coal chemical wastewater, transfer them into a colorimetric tube, adjust the pH value of the coal chemical wastewater to 9 with 3 mol / L NaOH aqueous solution at 65 °C, and carry out photothermal degradation reaction at a rotation speed of 300 r / min for 120 min and dark reaction for 20 min; then centrifuge and separate Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2, wash it with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water and then dry it, and reuse it for photocatalytic degradation of coal chemical wastewater. It can be seen from Figure 13 that after 6 times of recycling of Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2, the degradation effect decreases by about 12% compared with the first time, with an average decrease of 2.4% each time, and the degradation rate of the last time can still be higher than 70%. Thus, it can be seen that the Co@g-C3N4 / CeO2 of the present invention has relatively stable performance and can be used for multiple recycling.
