Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of environmental pollutant degradation, and particularly relates to a high-entropy alloy sulfide for activating persulfate and a preparation and application method of a carbon composite material thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Agriculture is the foundation of China's national economy and is a pillar industry that guarantees people's lives. Pesticides are an important unit of agricultural development and are indispensable. However, according to statistics, nearly 6 million tons of pesticides are applied in China every year, of which only 1% plays a role, and the rest enters the environment. Through biological enrichment and food chain effects, pesticides in water and soil environments can enter the human body and may cause diseases, cancers, and deformities, which are extremely harmful. Therefore, in order to ensure people's health and achieve sustainable ecological development, it is necessary to strengthen the research on organic pesticide wastewater degradation technology.

[0003] Organic pollutants usually have certain resistance, and it is usually difficult to effectively remove them by biological and physical treatment methods. Based on this, researchers have developed advanced oxidation technology based on strong oxidizing active oxygen species to attack toxic and harmful and refractory pollutants, which can decompose organic pollutants into less toxic products or even mineralize them into H2O and CO2. Persulfate oxidation technology based on sulfate radicals (SO4· - ) has shown excellent application prospects due to its high oxidation potential, wide pH range, and long half-life. SO4· - is usually generated by the decomposition of peroxymonosulfate (PMS, HSO5 - ) or peroxodisulfate (PDS, S2O8 2- ). Common activation methods include alkaline activation, thermal activation, ultrasonic activation, ultraviolet light activation, metal ion activation, and heterogeneous catalyst activation. Among them, the heterogeneous catalyst activation method does not require energy consumption, has a wide pH range, and can be used in various water treatment scenarios, and has attracted more attention in recent years

[0004] So far, researchers have developed a variety of heterogeneous catalysts that can be used to activate persulfate, such as metal organic framework materials (MOFs), carbon materials, metal oxides and metal sulfides, etc. Among them, MOFs materials show excellent catalytic activity, but most MOFs are poor in water sensitivity, and may self-decompose during the reaction process, with the risk of a large amount of metal ions dissolving out, which may cause secondary pollution. When carbon materials activate persulfate, the surface of the catalyst is easily oxidized by the active substances generated, resulting in deactivation of the catalyst surface, and the performance of the catalyst after recycling use decreases significantly. Compared with metal oxides, metal sulfides show more excellent activity in activating persulfate. However, although metal sulfides have good application prospects in the activation of persulfate, there are still problems in the actual application and industrialization process. Among them, low catalytic activity is one of the key problem factors.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a high-catalytic-activity heterogeneous catalyst for activating persulfate to protect and restore the water environment ecology. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical solutions adopted by the present application are as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a preparation method of a high-entropy alloy sulfide for activating persulfate, the high-entropy alloy sulfide containing five kinds of transition metal elements, the types of the transition metal elements being any five of molybdenum, iron, cobalt, zinc, manganese and nickel, and the method specifically comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1: Dissolving soluble metal salts of the transition metal elements in water to obtain a solution A;

[0009] The concentration of each metal element in the solution A is 0.01-0.05 mol / L;

[0016] Preferably, in the step S4, the solid is washed by alternately washing with ethanol and deionized water for 5-20 times.

[0017] Further, in the step S4, after washing, drying is performed by air blowing or vacuum drying at a temperature of 60-80℃ for 12-24h.

[0018] Preferably, the high-entropy alloy sulfide composite material further contains a carbon material, and the carbon material is one or a mixture of two or more of acetylene black, carbon nanotube and graphene oxide.

[0019] The difference lies in that, in the step S2, a certain amount of carbon material is dispersed in the solution B obtained in the step S2 to obtain a solution C; the concentration of the carbon material is 0.05-1.875g / L.

[0020] In the step S3, the volume ratio of the solution A to the solution C is 1:1-1:1.5.

[0021] In a second aspect, the application provides a high-entropy alloy sulfide for activating persulfate, which is prepared by the method of the first aspect.

[0022] In a third aspect, the application provides a high-entropy alloy sulfide-carbon composite material for activating persulfate, which is prepared by the method of the first aspect.

[0023] In a fourth aspect, the application provides a method for catalytically degrading organic pollutants by using the high-entropy alloy sulfide for activating persulfate of the second aspect and the high-entropy alloy sulfide-carbon composite material for activating persulfate of the third aspect, which specifically comprises the following steps: adding the high-entropy alloy sulfide or the high-entropy alloy sulfide-carbon composite material into wastewater containing organic pollutants to be degraded, adding persulfate after stirring to start degradation; the amount of the high-entropy alloy sulfide or the high-entropy alloy sulfide-carbon composite material is 0.1-0.3g / L, and the adding amount of persulfate is 0.1-0.5g / L.

[0024] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 5-45℃, and the reaction time is 1-30min.

[0025] Preferably, the persulfate is any one or a mixture of two or more of potassium persulfate, potassium monopersulfate, sodium persulfate and sodium monopersulfate.

[0026] The application provides the high-entropy alloy sulfide and the carbon composite material thereof, and the synergistic effect and the high-entropy effect based on multiple elements are beneficial to the improvement of catalytic activity; through comparison by experiments, compared with single metal sulfide, the high-entropy alloy sulfide improves the degradation rate and the degradation rate constant of organic matter when activating the degradation of aqueous organic pollutants by persulfate, and has a good application prospect in the field of water environment remediation.
