Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental functional materials and pollution remediation technology, and in particular to a composite material based on FeS(112) / β-FeOOH, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial wastewater discharge, mining operations, and electronic waste disposal lead to the continuous accumulation of heavy metals such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and chromium (Cr) in soil and water bodies. These heavy metals can accumulate through the food chain, causing ecotoxicity and threatening human health (such as causing cancer and nerve damage).
[0003] Existing remediation technologies and their limitations: Limitations of adsorption materials. Traditional materials (such as activated carbon, clay minerals, and biochar) rely on physical adsorption or weak ion exchange, which have the following problems: low adsorption capacity for high-valence heavy metals (such as Cr(VI) and As(V)); poor selectivity, easily affected by coexisting ions; insufficient stability after adsorption, posing a risk of secondary release. Single iron-based materials (such as zero-valent iron, FeS, and FeOOH): FeS is easily deactivated in oxidizing environments (generating Fe...). 3+ (leading to structural collapse); although β-FeOOH has an affinity for anionic heavy metals (Cr(VI), As(V)), it has a low specific surface area and is not conducive to Pb. 2+ / Cd 2+ The capture capacity is weak. Existing FeS / FeOOH composite materials mostly employ physical mixing or random coating, resulting in weak interfacial bonding and low electron transfer efficiency; the FeS oxidation problem remains unresolved, leading to insufficient long-term effectiveness; and the active sites are not sufficiently exposed, making it difficult to synergistically adsorb heavy metals of different valence states. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a composite material based on FeS(112) / β-FeOOH, its preparation method, and its application. This invention is the first to propose controlling the heterojunction interface through crystal plane engineering: directional exposure of the highly active (112) crystal plane of FeS (rich in unsaturated coordinated Fe atoms); achieving lattice-matched chemical bonding between FeS(112) and β-FeOOH in an alkaline environment to form a stable heterojunction; synergistically enhancing the resistance to cations (Pb). 2+ Cd 2+ The ability to capture ions (Cr(VI), As(V)) and anions (Cr(VI), As(V)) and the stability of materials are improved to overcome the above problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] This invention provides a method for preparing a composite material based on FeS(112) / β-FeOOH, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Synthesis of S1: FeS(112) nanosheet precursor:
[0008] Iron salts and organic sulfides were dissolved in alcohol solvents and subjected to hydrothermal reaction under an inert atmosphere. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was centrifuged and washed to obtain a hexagonal FeS nanosheet precursor dominated by the 112 crystal plane.
[0009] S2: In-situ construction of β-FeOOH heterojunctions:
[0010] The FeS nanosheet precursor was dispersed in an alkaline solution, and the pH of the final product was adjusted to 9-12 by adjusting the content of the alkaline solution. After constant temperature stirring and centrifugation, FeS(112) / β-FeOOH heterojunction composite material was obtained, wherein the mass ratio of FeS to β-FeOOH was 1:1 to 10:1.
[0011] Furthermore, the iron salt and the organic sulfide are in a molar ratio of 1:2 to 1:5; the concentration of the alkaline solution is 0.5 to 2M.
[0012] Furthermore, the iron salt is selected from one or more of ferric nitrate, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, or ferric carbonate;
[0013] The organic sulfide is selected from one or more of divalent sulfides and high-valent sulfides.
[0014] The divalent sulfides include thiols, thioethers, disulfides, polysulfides, and cyclic sulfides, and the high-valent sulfides include sulfones and sulfonic acids;
[0015] The alcohol solvent is selected from one or more of ethylene glycol, methanol, propanol, and glycerol, and its hydroxyl density regulates the growth kinetics of FeS crystal faces.
[0016] Furthermore, the alkaline solution is selected from one or more aqueous solutions of NaOH, Na2CO3, and Ca(OH)2.
[0017] Furthermore, the conditions for the hydrothermal reaction are: 150–300°C, reaction time 2–6 hours;
[0018] The conditions for constant temperature stirring are: constant temperature stirring at 50-80℃ for 4-8 hours.
[0019] In another aspect, the present invention provides a composite material based on FeS(112) / β-FeOOH prepared according to the preparation method described above.
[0020] In another aspect, the present invention provides the application of the FeS(112) / β-FeOOH based composite material in the remediation of heavy metal polluted water bodies. The FeS(112) / β-FeOOH based composite material is added to the heavy metal polluted water body, stirred and mixed until the pH value is 9-12, and then separated by sedimentation.
[0021] Furthermore, the heavy metal includes Pb. 2 +、Cd 2 +, As(V), Cr(VI) or one or more; the addition ratio of the composite material is 0.1 wt.%-10 wt.%.
[0022] In another aspect, the present invention provides the application of the FeS(112) / β-FeOOH based composite material in the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil. The FeS(112) / β-FeOOH based composite material is added to heavy metal contaminated soil in a certain proportion, mixed evenly, and the soil pH is tested to ensure that the soil environment pH value is within the range of 9 to 12.
[0023] Furthermore, the heavy metal includes Pb. 2 +、Cd 2 +, As(V), Cr(VI) or one or more of the following;
[0024] The composite material is added at a rate of 0.1 wt.% to 10 wt.%.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0026] This invention exposes the highly active crystal plane of FeS(112) through alkaline etching and achieves lattice-matched bonding with β-FeOOH, generating a triple synergistic effect:
[0027] Firstly, interfacial bonding inhibits oxidation: FeS(112) unsaturated Fe atoms form Fe-O-Fe covalent bonds with β-FeOOH hydroxyl groups, which reduces the oxidation rate of the material by 80%.
[0028] Secondly, the active site is selectively enriched: β-FeOOH selectively nucleates on the (112) face, which increases the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) by 2.3 times;
[0029] Third, the heterojunction interface accelerates electron transfer: β-FeOOH acts as an electron acceptor, accepting electrons transferred from the FeS(112) surface through Fe-O-Fe covalent bonds, forming a highly efficient reduction channel. This structure enables the removal rate of heavy metals to reach 2.3 times that of physical mixed materials, while inhibiting the self-oxidation of FeS through electron transfer.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] A method for preparing a composite material based on FeS(112) / β-FeOOH includes the following steps:
[0037] Synthesis of S1: FeS(112) nanosheet precursor:
[0038] Ferric nitrate and thiourea were dissolved in methanol at a molar ratio of 1:3 and reacted hydrothermally at 150°C for 2 hours under N2 protection. The product was centrifuged and washed with ethanol to obtain a FeS nanosheet precursor dominated by the (112) crystal plane. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results are as follows. Figure 1 As shown.
[0039] S2: In-situ construction of β-FeOOH heterojunctions:
[0040] 1 g of FeS nanosheet precursor was dispersed in 100 mL of 2 M NaOH solution to achieve a pH of 12. The mixture was stirred and centrifuged at 60 °C for 6 h to obtain a FeS(112) / β-FeOOH heterojunction composite solution, where the mass ratio of FeS to β-FeOOH was 1:1. TEM analysis of the product yielded the following results: Figure 2 As shown, the crystal planes forming FeS(112) are determined, and β-FeOOH is adsorbed. Figure 2 a-2c), using VESTA software ( Figure 2 d) It is clear that this facet has four iron atoms. Compared with the iron atoms of the low-index crystal facet, the iron atoms of the high-index crystal facet tend to be in unsaturated coordination. They have a strong affinity for polar molecules (especially water molecules and hydroxyl groups) and are easy to adsorb and bind these molecules. Since the (112) facet provides abundant and highly active iron atom sites (4 per unit cell) and its structure is conducive to the stability of FeOOH crystal nuclei, the SEM-mapping analysis results of the FeS(112) / β-FeOOH sample are as follows: Figure 2 e-2h shows (especially the parts with yellow and green dashed circles) that the distribution of O element (from β-FeOOH) on the surface of FeS particles exhibits obvious localized enrichment rather than uniform coverage. This is consistent with theoretical expectations that β-FeOOH preferentially nucleates and grows on the exposed (112) crystal plane's highly active sites, forming local heterostructures rather than uniform coating. The S2p spectrum of FeS(112) / β-FeOOH shows enhanced SOx group signal at 168.4 eV ( Figure 3 a) The reason is that in the early stage of coating formation, the (112) facet of FeS is rich in Fe atoms, giving it a high adsorption affinity for polar molecules. The generated sulfates and other oxygen-containing sulfur species have poor solubility and tend to adsorb or deposit on the FeS / FeOOH surface or interface. The S2p spectrum in Example 1 is compared with the S2p spectrum in Comparative Example 1. x The peak area decreased by 80%, indicating that the FeS(112) / β-FeOOH material has an 80% lower oxidation rate than pure FeS.
[0041] Heavy metal contaminated water testing:
[0042] The prepared FeS(112) / β-FeOOH solution was added to the heavy metal wastewater at a rate of 0.1 wt.% of the polluted water body mass. The pH of the system was adjusted to 10 (5%–10% sodium hydroxide solution was used when pH < 9, and 1% citric acid solution was used when pH > 12). The mixture was stirred for 30 min until the precipitate settled naturally. The supernatant was taken for inductively coupled plasma (ICP) testing. The test results are shown in Table 1. The concentrations of heavy metal ions all met the national emission standards.
[0043] Soil remediation test:

The characteristics of the heavy metal contaminated soil before treatment are shown in Table 2. The composite material was thoroughly mixed with the soil, and 15 points were sampled using the S-type sampling method to comprehensively test the pH to ensure that the soil pH was 9 (5% to 10% sodium hydroxide solution was used when pH < 9, and 1% citric acid solution was used when pH > 12).

[0098] In summary, this invention successfully exposed the highly active crystal plane of FeS(112) through an alkaline etching process, and on this basis, achieved lattice-matched bonding between it and β-FeOOH. Figure 2 a-2c HRTEM) ultimately forms a triple synergistic mechanism: First, interfacial bonding imparts oxidation inhibition function; unsaturated Fe atoms on the FeS(112) crystal plane interact with hydroxyl groups in β-FeOOH to form Fe-O-Fe covalent bonds, which is verified by characterization ( Figure 3 According to XPS results, this structure can reduce the oxidation rate of the material by 80%; secondly, it achieves the directional enrichment effect of active sites, by utilizing the selective nucleation characteristics of β-FeOOH on the FeS(112) crystal plane. Figure 2 The results of e-2hmapping significantly improved the concentration of reactive sites, ultimately increasing the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) by 2.3 times (data in Table 1). It also achieved deep removal of Pb, Cd, Cr(VI), and As(V), with a repair efficiency far exceeding that of the comparative examples (especially Comparative Example 3). Thirdly, the heterojunction interface constructs an efficient electron transfer channel. β-FeOOH acts as an electron acceptor, rapidly receiving electrons transferred from the FeS(112) crystal plane through Fe-O-Fe covalent bonds, forming a stable and efficient reduction pathway. Table 1 data shows that the heavy metal removal rate of the heterojunction structure prepared in this scheme is 2.3 times that of the physically mixed material (Comparative Example 3). Simultaneously, relying on this electron transfer process, the oxidation behavior of FeS itself is effectively suppressed, and its oxidation inactivation rate is reduced by 80% ( Figure 3 Furthermore, as shown in Tables 1 and 3, the pH of the system environment also has a significant impact on the treatment effect when this heterojunction composite material is used to treat water or soil contaminated with heavy metals (Comparative Example 2).
