Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of green catalysis and environmental chemistry, and relates to a CuFeCo-LDH / BC catalyst, a preparation method thereof and application of the catalyst in degradation of sulfamethoxazole-containing wastewater. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a widely used antibiotic that enters water bodies through excretion due to its low absorption rate in the human body. Sulfamethoxazole poses a serious threat to ecological safety and human health due to its low biodegradability, environmental persistence and drug resistance-inducing properties. Traditional water treatment technologies have limited removal efficiency of SMX, and it is urgent to develop efficient and environmentally friendly degradation methods. Advanced oxidation processes based on peroxymonosulfate (PS) or peroxodisulfate (SPS) activation exhibit significant potential in the treatment of refractory organic pollutants by generating highly active oxygen species (such as SO4· - , ·OH, ·O2 - and · 1 O2). Existing peroxymonosulfate (SPS) or peroxodisulfate (PS) activation strategies include homogeneous transition metal catalysis (such as Fe 2+ , Co 2+ ) and heterogeneous catalysis (such as carbon materials and metal oxides), but the homogeneous system has the risk of secondary pollution caused by metal ion leaching, so the heterogeneous activation technology is more concerned.

[0003] In recent years, the conversion of biomass waste into biochar (BC) based catalysts has become a research hotspot. BC is prepared by pyrolysis of biomass, and it can not only enhance the adsorption of pollutants, but also act as a carrier to inhibit the agglomeration of nanoparticles due to its high specific surface area, porous structure and rich surface functional groups. In addition, BC itself has the ability to activate PS to generate active oxygen, which conforms to the concept of waste resource utilization.

[0004] Therefore, if CuFeCo-LDH and BC can be prepared into a composite catalyst, the defects such as poor dispersion and interface combination of heterojunction materials, easy leaching of metal active sites and difficulty in structural synergistic optimization can be overcome. SUMMARY

The application realizes uniform loading of biochar (BC) on CuFeCo-LDH by using an in-situ growth method, which strengthens the interface combination, optimizes the stability of metal components and inhibits leaching, and successfully constructs a highly efficient and stable CuFeCo-LDH / BC catalyst. The CuFeCo-LDH / BC catalyst has both oxidation function and large specific surface area, and can be used for peroxymonosulfate (PS) or peroxodisulfate (SPS) activation, metal redox cycle (Mn+ / M (n-1)+ ) and BC, promote the generation of ·OH, SO4·-, 1O2 and ·O 2- and other active species, and further degrade SMX.

[0063] Weigh 6.0g of molasses, which contains 35% sucrose and 18% other types of sugar. In addition, it contains 4% soluble colloids, mainly xylan, arabinan, and pectin, and the rest is water. Place it in a ceramic crucible and dry it in an oven at 120°C for 24 hours to remove free water and intermolecular water to obtain a solid. The solid is ground and passed through a 100-mesh sieve (pore size 0.15mm) to obtain a uniform powder for later use. Weigh 3.0g of the powder, mix it with 3g of NaOH, place it in a tube furnace, heat it to 500°C under an N2 atmosphere, keep it warm for 4 hours, cool it to room temperature, wash it with deionized water until it is neutral, place it in an oven at 105°C for 12 hours, and grind it to obtain biochar (BC).

[0064] The SEM images of the prepared BC are shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 As shown in a, it can be seen that the biochar has abundant pores and presents a honeycomb structure.

[0065] According to the molar ratio of the metal element copper (Cu) to cobalt (Co) is 3:1, the total amount of Cu and Co to the molar ratio of Fe element is 2:1, 7.24g Cu (NO3) 2·3H2O, 2.49g Co (CH3COO) 2·4H2O, 8.08g Fe (NO3) 3·9H2O are weighed, the three kinds of metal salts are dissolved in 100mL deionized water to prepare a mixed salt solution, which is recorded as solution A.

[0066] According to the formula The amount of NaOH and Na2CO3 is calculated as 3.84g and 4.24g respectively; 3.84g NaOH and 4.24g Na2CO3 are dissolved in 60mL deionized water to prepare a mixed alkali solution, which is recorded as solution B.

[0067] About 10mL deionized water is pre-added in a three-necked flask and heated to 60℃, and solutions A and B are simultaneously added to the flask under stirring, the pH of the mixed solution is kept at 9-10 during the dropwise addition process, after the dropwise addition is completed, the solution is aged at 60℃ under stirring for 12h, filtered, the filter cake is washed with deionized water until the pH of the filtrate is 7, and dried in an oven at 105℃ for 24h to obtain a hydrotalcite CuFeCo-LDH, which is ground into a powder for use.

[0068] 2.0g CuFeCo-LDH and 0.2g biochar are dispersed in 20mL deionized water, stirred at room temperature for 24h; centrifuged, washed with deionized water until the pH of the filtrate is 7, and dried at 105℃ for 24h to obtain a 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC catalyst.

[0069] The SEM images of CuFeCo-LDH and 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC are shown in Figure 1 b of FIG. 1, Figure 1 c of FIG. 1, it can be seen that the hydrotalcite CuFeCo-LDH presents an ultra-thin nanosheet structure and belongs to a layered hydroxide; the CuFeCo-LDH / BC has many bioactive carbon BC adsorbed on the surface of the LDH sheet layer.

[0070] The XRD patterns of CuFeCo-LDH and 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC are shown in Figure 2 It can be seen that the diffraction peaks of the XRD patterns of CuFeCo-LDH and 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC all show characteristic peaks of hydrotalcite, which is due to the uniform distribution of BC on the surface of the hydrotalcite.

[0071] The FT-IR patterns of CuFeCo-LDH and 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC are shown in Figure 3 It can be seen that the characteristic peaks of the FT-IR spectra of CuFeCo-LDH and 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC are at 3437cm-1, 1630cm-1, 1380cm-1, 1080cm-1, 800cm-1, 600cm-1, 450cm-1, 400cm-1, 350cm-1, 300cm-1, 200cm-1, 100cm-1, 80cm-1, 60cm-1, 40cm-1, 20cm-1, 10cm-1, which are the characteristic peaks of the hydrotalcite.-1 , 1634 cm -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

[0072] Figure 4 Figure 4

[0073] Catalyst performance evaluation: BC, CuFeCo-LDH, 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC dosage was 0.25 g / L; 500 mL concentration of 20 mg / L sulfamethoxazole solution (prepared with deionized water), it is added to the reaction vessel, first add 0.25 g / L catalyst (i.e. 1 L sulfamethoxazole solution added 0.25 g catalyst), then add 0.35 g / L sodium peroxodisulfate (i.e. 1 L sulfamethoxazole solution added 0.35 g sodium peroxodisulfate), using 1 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution or 1 M sulfuric acid to adjust the pH of the solution to 6. At room temperature, with a stirring speed of 450 r / min, the reaction was carried out for 60 min. After the reaction, 3 mL sample was taken, filtered with 0.45 μm organic filter membrane, then mixed with 50% (V / V) ethanol water (absolute ethanol and deionized water according to the volume ratio of 1:1) in equal volume, put into the sample injection bottle, the content of sulfamethoxazole in the sample was detected by gas chromatography, the degradation rate of BC, CuFeCo-LDH, 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC to sulfamethoxazole was calculated to be 30.82%, 62.97%, 99.74% respectively. The above three catalysts were reused for 10 times, the degradation rate of sulfamethoxazole was 29.3%, 61.7%, 97.9% respectively, it can be seen that the activity of 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC catalyst did not decrease significantly.​​​​​​​​​

[0074] The catalytic mechanism of CuFeCo-LDH / BC catalyst for catalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole antibiotic is:

[0075] The possible catalytic mechanism of CuFeCo-LDH / BC for degrading sulfamethoxazole under the oxidation of sodium persulfate is shown in Figure 4 Firstly, sodium persulfate (SPS) can be activated by partially charged ions to generate SO4 ·- , and the metal active sites (Co / Fe / Cu) are oxidized to M (n+1)+ (formula (1)). At the same time, electrons are transferred to SPS to generate SO4 ·- , which is rapidly hydrolyzed to ·OH (formula (2)). In addition, the formed M (n+1)+ may be reduced to M n+ (formula (3)) by SPS, biochar and H2O2. The metal valence cycle drives the redox reaction and maintains the catalytic activity. The generated SO4 ·- may induce the production of ·OH and H2O2 through a free radical chain reaction (formula (4)). ·O2 - and 1 O2path: ·OH reacts with H2O2 to generate superoxide anion radical (HO2 · ) (formula (5). In turn, ·O2 - (formula (6)) is induced. The latter participates in the degradation through rapid electron transfer; ·O2 - recombination can generate sufficient singlet oxygen ( 1 O2) (formula (7), (8)). Summary: In this system, active oxygen species (·OH, SO4 ·- , ·O2 - and 1 O2) and metal redox synergistically work together to achieve rapid degradation of pollutants (formula (9)). The metal redox cycle and the multi-path free radical generation together guarantee the high efficiency and stability of the CuFeCo-LDH / BC@SPS system.

[0087] Toxicity analysis of SMX and its main degradation products during the degradation of SMX by 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC@SPS system is shown in Figure 6 , where P1 represents sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and P2-P11 are intermediate products of SMX degradation for 20 min, respectively. Their structures are shown below:

[0088]

[0089]

[0090] The toxicity estimation software tool (TEST) was used to comprehensively evaluate the acute and chronic toxicity of SMX and its intermediates. Figure 6(a) As shown, the LC50 of blackhead minnow 96h SMX was 2.75 mg / L, which could be considered as toxic. Nevertheless, P2 of blackhead minnow containing LC50 was extremely toxic, and the toxicity of subsequent oxidation intermediates was all harmless products. The acute toxicity (characterized by LC50) of degradation intermediates was mostly lower than SMX, of which the rest was classified as harmless substances except for product P2. This result showed that the degradation process of SMX could effectively reduce the direct ecological risk of pollutants, but further assessment of long-term environmental effects was still needed in combination with its chronic toxicity and bioaccumulation characteristics. Figure 6 (b) As shown, the 48h half maximal inhibitory concentration (IGC50) of SMX on Tetrahymena pyriformis was 6.09 mg / L, indicating that it was toxic, and the toxicity of subsequent oxidation intermediates was reduced. It could pose a greater threat to Tetrahymena populations, and careful control was needed in practical applications. According to the QSAR model, the higher the oral LD50 value in rats, the lower the acute toxicity of the substance. From Figure 6 (c) As can be seen, the acute toxicity (LD50) of SMX and most intermediates was more than 2000 mg / kg, which was classified as "not very toxic". In addition, the bioaccumulation factors of each intermediate product were small and lower than SMX Figure 6 (d)), indicating that they were not easy to accumulate and enrich in the environment. Developmental toxicity and mutagenicity showed a clear downward trend Figure 6 (e) and (f)). In addition, the toxicity of intermediates would degrade over time, gradually reducing their toxicity. Therefore, the 10CuFeCo-LDH / BC@SPS system could effectively reduce the toxicity of SMX and reduce the related ecological risk.

[0095] According to the formula The amount of NaOH and Na2CO3 was calculated to be 3.84 g and 4.24 g, respectively, and 3.84 g of NaOH and 4.24 g of Na2CO3 were dissolved in 60 mL of deionized water to prepare a mixed alkali solution, which was denoted as solution B.
