Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air purification materials technology, specifically relating to an air sterilization and adsorption material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization and people's increasing demands for a healthy living environment, air pollution, especially particulate matter (such as PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and microbial pollution such as bacteria and viruses in indoor air, has become a major threat to human health. To address this issue, the development of highly efficient air purification materials and technologies has received widespread attention. Among these, air-sterilizing adsorption materials are a key type of functional material. They aim to capture and remove air pollutants through physical adsorption, chemical adsorption, or catalytic degradation, while simultaneously using loaded antibacterial substances or their own inherent antibacterial activity to kill attached microorganisms, thereby achieving the dual purpose of purifying the air and inhibiting the spread of pathogens. Currently, common materials of this type on the market mainly include activated carbon or molecular sieves loaded with metal ions (such as silver, copper, and zinc), and porous carriers with surfaces modified with antibacterial agents (such as quaternary ammonium salts).

[0003] However, existing air purification adsorption materials still have many shortcomings, limiting their purification efficiency and service life. First, many materials have limited functionality; some have excellent adsorption performance but insufficient bactericidal ability, while others have strong bactericidal activity but limited pollutant capture capacity, making it difficult to achieve efficient synergistic purification. Second, the bactericidal active components (such as metal nanoparticles) and the carrier are usually simply physically loaded with weak binding forces, making them prone to detachment and loss during long-term use. This not only leads to rapid degradation of bactericidal performance but also risks secondary pollution from the detached nanoparticles. Furthermore, some active components (especially non-precious metals such as copper) are chemically reactive and easily oxidized and deactivated in the usage environment, resulting in poor long-term stability of the material. Therefore, how to achieve a firm anchorage and long-term stability of the bactericidal active components on the carrier through reasonable structural design and material composites, while ensuring high adsorption capacity, is a key technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in the field of air purification materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an air sterilization adsorption material and its preparation method.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing an air sterilization adsorbent material includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Add alkali lignin to concentrated sulfuric acid and stir at a constant temperature to obtain sulfonated lignin; add chitosan to dilute acetic acid solution, stir to dissolve, then add sulfonated lignin, stir evenly, then add aminated diatomaceous earth and glutaraldehyde, and heat to react. After the reaction is completed, filter, wash, dry and carbonize to obtain composite diatomaceous earth.

[0008] S2. Add the composite diatomaceous earth from step S1 to an ethanol aqueous solution, then add γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, and carry out a constant temperature reaction under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction is completed, filter, wash and dry to obtain mercapto-modified composite diatomaceous earth.

[0009] S3. Add the thiolized composite diatomaceous earth from step S2 to the mixed solvent, then add 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride and triethylamine, and carry out a constant temperature reaction under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction is completed, filter, wash and dry to obtain functionalized composite diatomaceous earth.

[0010] S4. Add the functionalized diatomaceous earth from step S3 to the ascorbic acid solution, disperse it by ultrasonication, and add a mixed solution of copper nitrate and silver nitrate dropwise under vigorous stirring. After the addition is complete, carry out a constant temperature reaction under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction is complete, filter, wash and dry to obtain the air sterilization adsorbent material.

[0011] Preferably, the preparation method of the aminated diatomaceous earth in step S1 is as follows: Diatomaceous earth is added to hydrochloric acid solution for impregnation treatment. After the treatment is completed, it is filtered, washed, dried and calcined. Then, the solid product is added to an ethanol aqueous solution, followed by the addition of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane for stirring reaction. After the reaction is completed, it is filtered, washed and dried to obtain the product.

[0012] Preferably, the concentration of the hydrochloric acid is 4-6 mol / L, the impregnation treatment temperature is 80-90℃ and the time is 1-2 h, the calcination temperature is 500-550℃ and the time is 2-3 h; the mass ratio of the solid product to γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is 100:8-12, and the stirring reaction temperature is 50-60℃ and the time is 2-3 h.

[0013] In this invention, acid leaching activation removes impurities that clog the natural pores of diatomaceous earth, clearing the pores and generating more silanol groups on the surface, which serve as active sites for subsequent chemical reactions. Subsequently, it reacts with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to graft amino functional groups onto the surface of the diatomaceous earth framework, enabling the inorganic diatomaceous earth to be tightly bonded to subsequent organic polymers (lignin, chitosan) through chemical bonds.

[0014] Preferably, in step S1, the mass ratio of alkali lignin to concentrated sulfuric acid is 50-60:200-300, and the constant temperature stirring is 55-65℃ for 2-3 hours.

[0015] Preferably, in step S1, the mass ratio of chitosan, dilute acetic acid solution, sulfonated lignin, pretreated diatomaceous earth, and glutaraldehyde is 20-30:1000-1500:20-30:90-100:40-50, the heating reaction temperature is 70-80℃, the time is 4-5h, and the carbonization process is as follows: heating to 300-350℃ at a rate of 2-3℃ / min, holding for 2-3h, and then heating to 600-650℃ at a rate of 4-5℃ / min, holding for 1-2h.

[0016] In this invention, alkali lignin is rich in benzene ring structures. Sulfonation of lignin introduces sulfonic acid groups, which increase its dispersibility in aqueous systems. Chitosan is rich in nitrogen, and carbonization enables in-situ nitrogen doping of carbon materials. The carbon network formed after carbonization greatly improves the specific surface area and adsorption capacity of the material. The components are firmly bonded together by chemical bonding to form a stable three-dimensional network structure, ensuring that it does not collapse during the carbonization process and guaranteeing the porous structure of the material.

[0017] Preferably, in step S2, the mass ratio of the composite diatomaceous earth to γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane is 100:8-11, and the isothermal reaction is carried out at a temperature of 70-75°C for 4-6 hours.

[0018] In this invention, by reacting composite diatomaceous earth with γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, thiol groups are introduced onto the diatomaceous earth. On the one hand, these thiol groups can serve as reaction sites for subsequent reactions with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride. On the other hand, thiol groups are typical soft nucleophilic groups with extremely strong affinity and coordination ability for silver and copper metal ions. They can firmly anchor the subsequently loaded silver and copper nanoparticles to the material surface through strong chemical bonds, preventing the problem of subsequent detachment.

[0019] Preferably, in step S3, the mass ratio of the thiolized composite diatomaceous earth, 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, and triethylamine is 100:3.1-4.3:0.5-1, and the isothermal reaction is carried out at a temperature of 45-55°C for 3-5 hours.

[0020] In this invention, by reacting mercapto-modified composite diatomaceous earth with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, the 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride has a positively charged hydrophilic head (quaternary ammonium group), which can actively attract and capture bacteria, viruses and some dust particles that are usually negatively charged in the air, thereby improving the adsorption performance of the material.

[0021] Preferably, the mass concentration of the ascorbic acid solution in step S4 is 5-8 g / L, the concentration of copper nitrate in the mixed solution is 5-8 g / L, and the concentration of silver nitrate is 10-15 g / L.

[0022] Preferably, in step S4, the mass-to-volume ratio of the functionalized diatomaceous earth, ascorbic acid solution, and mixed solution is 100g:900-1100mL:200-300mL, and the isothermal reaction is carried out at a temperature of 55-65℃ for 4-5 hours.

[0023] In this invention, ascorbic acid is used as a reducing agent to reduce silver and copper ions in situ into nano-metal particles, which are then firmly loaded onto functionalized diatomaceous earth. Silver has a broad-spectrum and highly efficient bactericidal ability, while copper not only has its own bactericidal ability but also forms a synergistic effect with silver and can effectively kill bacteria that are resistant to silver, thus achieving a balance of high efficiency, broad spectrum, and low cost.

[0024] This invention also protects an air sterilization adsorbent material prepared by the method described above.

[0025] The present invention also protects the application of an air sterilization adsorption material as described above in a high-oxygen membrane.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] (1) The air sterilization adsorbent material provided by the present invention uses acid-activated and surface-functionalized diatomaceous earth as a rigid framework, then chemically bonds it with chitosan and carbonizes it at high temperature. On this basis, through surface chemical modification, thiol functional groups as metal anchoring points and quaternary ammonium salts that give the material positive charge adsorption capacity are introduced in sequence, and finally silver-copper bimetallic nanoparticles are loaded in situ. The air sterilization adsorbent material prepared by this method combines multiple mechanisms of action such as physical adsorption, electrostatic adsorption, chemical anchoring, contact sterilization and ion sterilization, and achieves efficient synergistic removal of particulate pollutants (such as PM2.5) and microorganisms in the air. It solves the technical problems of single function of traditional adsorbent materials and easy failure of sterilization materials, and has broad application prospects.

[0028] (2) The air sterilization adsorption material provided by the present invention uses diatomaceous earth as raw material. It is first activated by acid leaching, then amino groups are introduced, and then alkali lignin and chitosan are introduced on the diatomaceous earth by chemical bonding. Then it is carbonized to obtain a porous structure with strong adsorption capacity. This method of preparing composite carrier by first chemical bonding and then in-situ carbonization forms a stable and uniform organic-inorganic hybrid structure before carbonization, which effectively avoids the common problems of organic phase agglomeration and macroscopic phase separation in physical coating method. This allows the decomposition, gasification and atomic recombination of organic components to be carried out under spatially bound and highly controllable conditions during subsequent high-temperature carbonization, thereby generating an ultrathin and orderly carbon layer uniformly coated on the pore wall of diatomaceous earth, rather than the thick carbon block that blocks the pores in physical coating method. Finally, a composite diatomaceous earth with a larger specific surface area and a more stable structure is obtained.

[0029] (3) The air sterilization adsorption material provided by the present invention introduces thiol groups and 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride sequentially onto composite diatomaceous earth. On the one hand, some of the thiol groups react with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, and 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride with positive charge adsorption function is introduced into diatomaceous earth in a chemical bond manner, thereby improving the material's ability to actively attract and capture bacteria, viruses and some dust particles that are usually negatively charged in the air. On the other hand, the remaining unreacted thiol groups can react with Ag introduced in subsequent steps. + Cu 2+ The silver-copper nanoparticles are firmly anchored to the carrier surface by forming extremely strong coordination bonds (MS bonds) with soft metal ions, effectively preventing the migration and loss of active components during use, and significantly enhancing the stability and service life of the air sterilization adsorption material.

[0075] Compared to Example 1, the air sterilization adsorbent material in this comparative example did not introduce γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane.

[0076] The air sterilization adsorbent materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to performance tests. The PM2.5 adsorption rate was tested as follows: Standard cigarette smoke was used as the PM2.5 source. The air was filtered through a fan and test pipe, using a solution containing 0.5 mg / m³ of PM2.5. 3 The experimental gas containing PM2.5 particles was flowed at a flow rate of 0.5 m / s through a filter filled with the test adsorbent material, with a filter thickness of 0.1 m, under conditions of temperature 23±1℃ and relative humidity 50±5%RH. Sampling ports were set at the upstream and downstream of the filter, and the particle concentration was measured simultaneously using two laser dust meters to determine the adsorption rate. The antibacterial rate was tested according to GB / T21510-2024 "Test Method for Antibacterial Properties of Nano-Inorganic Materials", with Escherichia coli as the test species. The cyclic test was as follows: 5 g of material was placed in a sealed container, and a gas containing 0.5 mg / m³ of PM2.5 was introduced. 3 The experimental gas containing PM2.5 particles and air with 90% RH was adsorbed for 1 hour, followed by immersion in a solution containing 10 7 The material was cultured in sterile physiological saline at CFU / mL for 2 hours with shaking. After filtration, the material was washed with sterile water and then twice with anhydrous ethanol. It was then vacuum dried at 60°C to obtain the regenerated adsorbent material, thus completing one "adsorption-regeneration" cycle. The antibacterial rate was tested after 20 cycles. The test results are shown in Table 1 below.
