Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalysis technology, and particularly relates to an FeCo bimetallic alloy catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Chlorophenols are widely used in herbicides, disinfectants, pesticides, papermaking, and plastics industries. They have been detected in various environmental media, including waste sludge, groundwater, surface water, and wastewater. Studies have shown that chlorophenols possess genotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and carcinogenic risks. Due to their threats to the environment and health, they have been listed as priority pollutants for control. However, the high electronegativity of chlorine atoms, forming stable covalent bonds with carbon atoms, results in a robust molecular structure, strong resistance to biodegradation, photodegradation, and chemical decomposition, and bioaccumulation, posing significant threats to the ecological environment and human health. Chlorinated organic compounds have a certain degree of volatility or water solubility, allowing them to migrate long distances through the atmosphere, water bodies, and organisms, expanding the scope of pollution. Although the production of many chlorinated pollutants (such as DDT and PCBs) has been restricted or banned, their large-scale use over the past decades has led to their continued release into the environment through reservoirs such as soil, sediments, and organisms. Conventional physical and chemical methods (such as adsorption and oxidation) are costly and have limited efficiency; bioremediation requires the screening of specific degrading bacteria, has a long cycle, and is limited by environmental conditions. Chlorinated compounds in deep soil, groundwater, and sediments are difficult to completely remove, resulting in their long-term presence in the environment. Therefore, the development of effective dechlorination methods has received increasing attention.

[0003] Zero-valued iron (ZVI) is a widely used material for water and soil remediation, and has been used to treat many environmental pollutants, including chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated pesticides, pharmaceuticals, nitro aromatic compounds, phenols, and metals. ZVI-based materials show great application potential due to their ease of preparation, modification, and compounding. However, in addition to poor electron selectivity, ZVI is also prone to aggregation, passivation, and corrosion, which greatly limits its application in in-situ groundwater remediation. As a reducing agent or electron donor, almost all methods strive to improve or seek a balance between the following two points: (1) retain as many electrons as possible in the composite; (2) improve the transfer of electrons to pollutants. There are currently three main methods to improve the performance of ZVI-based materials: (1) optimizing the structure and morphology of ZVI, including micron ZVI (mZVI) and nano ZVI; (2) modifying ZVI by doping with a second element (metal or heteroatom) or organic polymer and surfactant; and (3) preparing composite materials by fixing ZVI on a solid porous carrier material.

[0004] Metal-modified ZVI (M-ZVI) is a commonly used modification method, mainly involving the incorporation of noble metals (such as Pd, Pt, Au, and Rh) or non-noble metals (such as Al, Mg, Ni, and Cu) into ZVI to produce bimetallic compounds. Due to various factors, such as the type of dopant metal, doping method, doping ratio, and doping sequence, M-ZVI exhibits different physicochemical properties (i.e., shape, size, composition, and surface chemistry). However, using noble metals (such as Pt and Ag) or non-noble metals (such as Ni and Cu) as dopant metals can lead to the leaching of metal ions, which may cause secondary pollution, and noble metals are expensive, resulting in high costs. In addition, due to van der Waals forces, high surface energy and intrinsic magnetism, M-ZVI tends to aggregate into large particles, which limits its reactivity and mobility; M-ZVI is more prone to passivation or deactivation, which reduces its stability and lifetime and complicates storage; M-ZVI has relatively low selectivity and is prone to side reactions, such as HER or the influence of other interfering ions, which significantly reduces its cycling ability and long-term reduction ability.

[0053] Performance testing (1) The catalyst samples prepared in each example and comparative example were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

[0054] (2) The cyclic voltammetry curves of the catalyst samples prepared in each example and comparative example were tested. 100mM sodium sulfate solution was used as the electrolyte for the test. Sodium persulfate was also added during the test to participate in the reaction on the electrode surface to obtain the cyclic voltammetry curves of the materials.

[0055] (3) The pollutant removal effect of the catalyst samples prepared in each example and comparative example was tested. The specific steps are as follows: In water containing 50 mg / L of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, the catalyst sample and sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) were added. The amount of catalyst sample added was 0.1 g / L, and the amount of sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) added was 2 mmol / L. After reacting for 2 hours, the removal rate and dechlorination rate of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol were tested. At the same time, the soybean residue was pyrolyzed according to the method of Example 1 to obtain BC sample. The BC sample was tested as described above. A control group was set up with no catalyst sample added and only 2 mmol / L sodium persulfate added, which was denoted as PDS.

[0056] Figure 1 This is a scanning electron microscope image of the FeCo@BC-1:1 catalyst prepared in Example 1 of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a scanning electron microscope image of the Fe@BC catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 1 of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the Co@BC catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 2 of this invention. Figure 1 As shown, nano-petals, composed of an iron-cobalt alloy, are clearly visible growing on the catalyst. Each petal has an average lateral dimension of 100–200 nm and an average thickness of 0.1–10 nm. These petal-shaped iron-cobalt alloys serve as the active component of the catalyst, supported on biochar particles. The overall average particle size of the catalyst sample is 1–2 μm. Figure 1 It is evident that the biochar-supported nanopetal-shaped FeCo@BC bimetallic alloy catalyst can be successfully synthesized using the method of Example 1. Figure 2 It can be seen that the Fe@BC catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 1 exhibits a needle-like nanoarray structure. From Figure 3 It can be seen that the Co@BC catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 2 is nanosheet-like and coated on biochar.

[0057] The redox performance of different Fe-based catalysts for persulfate (PDS) was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. In the cyclic voltammetry, the reduction-related broad peak of PDS appeared at approximately -0.80 to -1.20 V, and the oxidation broad peak appeared at -0.75 to -0.50 V. Figure 4 This is a cyclic voltammogram of the catalysts prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 of the present invention. From... Figure 4It can be seen that the FeCo@BC bimetallic alloy catalyst of Example 1 exhibits obvious reduction and oxidation peaks at -0.80 to -1.20 V and -0.75 to -0.50 V, with equal peak heights, indicating that the catalyst has excellent redox performance for PDS. The Fe@BC catalyst of Comparative Example 1 shows reduction and oxidation peaks at -1.0 V to -1.4 V and -0.6 V to -0.3 V, but the peak heights are much lower than the reduction and oxidation peaks of the FeCo@BC catalyst of Example 1; while the Co@BC catalyst of Comparative Example 2 has almost no reduction and oxidation peaks. The comparison of the cyclic voltammetry curves of the three catalysts shows that the biochar-supported nano-petal-shaped FeCo@BC bimetallic alloy catalyst in Example 1 has better PDS catalytic performance, and this catalyst can effectively remove chlorinated organic aromatic pollutants from water.

[0058] Figure 5 The graph shows the effect of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 of this invention on the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by activated persulfate. Figure 5 As can be seen, after two hours of reaction, the FeCo@BC-1:1, FeCo@BC-2:1, and FeCo@BC-4:1 catalysts of Examples 1-3 achieved removal rates of 95%, 99%, and 97% respectively in the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by activated PDS, with dechlorination rates of 47%, 52%, and 43% respectively. All three catalysts can effectively degrade 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, with the 2:1 FeCo ratio in Example 2 showing better results. In contrast, the Fe@BC catalyst of Comparative Example 1 and the Co@BC catalyst of Comparative Example 2 only achieved removal rates of 81% and 59% respectively in the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by activated PDS, with dechlorination rates of only 31% and 2.5%, indicating that their effectiveness in removing chlorinated organic aromatic pollutants was significantly lower than that of Examples 1-3.

[0059] In summary, this invention uses biochar as a carrier, which can stably load and disperse iron-cobalt alloy. Iron can transfer electrons to chlorinated organic pollutants for reduction and dechlorination. Both iron and cobalt can activate persulfate to generate singlet oxygen, which attacks the phenolic hydroxyl groups on chlorinated organic pollutants and their dechlorination products, thereby achieving the mineralization of chlorinated organic pollutants. In this process, reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously, which can achieve efficient removal of chlorinated organic pollutants from water.
