Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment, and more particularly to a method for removing organic pollutants using a nitrogen-doped cotton stalk biochar-supported LaCoO3 catalyst. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of industrial and agricultural development, the emission of organic pollutants has become an increasingly prominent problem. For example, pesticides (such as imidacloprid), antibiotics (such as sulfamethoxazole), and recalcitrant organic pollutants in industrial silicon-containing wastewater (such as m-cresol) have stable structures, making them difficult to remove effectively with traditional water treatment technologies, thus exacerbating water pollution problems. The complexity and diversity of these organic pollutants pose a huge challenge to water body management, and there is an urgent need to develop efficient and environmentally friendly treatment technologies.
[0003] In recent years, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on persulfate (PMS) have shown outstanding performance in degrading recalcitrant organic pollutants due to their ability to generate reactive oxygen species (such as sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals). Among these, transition metal ions (such as Co) are particularly effective at degrading recalcitrant organic pollutants. 2+ Fe 2+ (etc.) can promote the generation of free radicals by activating the asymmetric structure of PMS, thereby improving the pollutant removal efficiency.
[0004] However, in single-metal transition metal oxide (e.g., Co3O4) catalysts, the catalytic activity usually depends on the single metal active site, which limits the catalyst's oxidation capacity and reaction rate.
[0005] Perovskite oxides such as LaCoO3 can not only increase the number of active sites in catalysts, but also improve catalytic efficiency through intermetallic synergistic effects. They also have significant advantages over single-metal transition metal oxides in terms of structural stability, anti-interference ability, and reusability.
[0006] Nitrogen-doped biochar-supported perovskite-type LaCoO3 catalysts, due to their unique electronic structure, excellent redox performance and good stability, are expected to achieve efficient degradation of a variety of organic pollutants (such as imidacloprid, m-cresol, sulfamethoxazole, etc.), providing a new technical route for the deep treatment of complex organic pollutant wastewater.
[0007] Therefore, developing a highly efficient and stable catalytic material containing LaCoO3 active sites is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The residual concentration of pollutants was analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) using a C18 column and a UV absorbance detector.
[0025] Preferably, in step 1, the cotton stalks are cut into small pieces and crushed, then sieved through an 80-100 mesh sieve to obtain cotton stalk powder; then washed three times with deionized water and dried at 60°C for 6-12 hours.

The method for removing organic pollutants using a nitrogen-doped cotton stalk biochar-supported LaCoO3 catalyst according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step 2, the solid sample is dried at 60 °C for 4-6 h. After drying, the sample is placed in a tube furnace and calcined at 500-900 °C for 2-4 h under an argon atmosphere.
7. The method for removing organic pollutants using a nitrogen-doped cotton stalk biochar-supported LaCoO3 catalyst according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step 3, 100 portions of 20 mg / L aqueous solutions of different pollutants were added to a light-protected catalytic reactor, and a heterogeneous reaction was initiated by adding 0.3 g / L of nitrogen-doped cotton stalk biochar-supported LaCoO3 catalyst and 5 mmol PMS.
8. The method for removing organic pollutants using a nitrogen-doped cotton stalk biochar-supported LaCoO3 catalyst according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step 3, the initial solution pH is precisely controlled using 0.1 mol / L H2SO4 and NaOH. 1 mL of sample is extracted at selected time intervals, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, and 0.1 mL of methanol is added.
