Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment catalysis technology, and particularly relates to a Fe-Cu-Mn ternary hydrotalcite catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, heterogeneous Fenton reactions are widely used in the field of industrial wastewater treatment. These reactions induce hydrogen peroxide to generate highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals through solid catalysts, effectively degrading organic pollutants and reducing chemical sludge production. Hydrotalcite-like materials, with their unique layered structure and tunable metal composition, demonstrate significant application value as catalytic centers for such reactions. However, in practical engineering applications, drastic fluctuations in the pH of raw water place demands on the stability of the catalytic system. The efficient reaction range of traditional iron-based catalytic materials is usually limited to a narrow acidic environment. As the alkalinity of the system increases, the active sites on the catalyst surface are prone to physicochemical transformation, leading to a rapid decline in catalytic efficiency. To maintain continuous process operation, large amounts of acid and alkali reagents are usually added in the upstream process to adjust the pH of the wastewater. This operation mode not only incurs high reagent costs but also causes an accumulation of total dissolved solids in the effluent, representing a hidden cost that the industry has long accepted in order to maintain process operation.

[0003] Industry attempts to broaden the catalytic response window by increasing metal loading or introducing organic complexing agents often lead to the leaching of metal ions and shorten the material's lifespan. Furthermore, the introduction of complexing agents faces the risk of self-degradation under oxidative conditions, resulting in secondary pollution. Besides limitations at the chemical composition level, existing technologies often rely on overall phase stability when exploring multi-metal systems, neglecting the profound influence of the lattice microenvironment on electron transfer. For example, Chinese invention patent CN101302031A discloses a magnesium-aluminum rare earth ternary hydrotalcite, its preparation method, and its uses. It utilizes rare earth elements to improve crystallinity and morphological regularity. However, when addressing the problem of alkaline passivation in the Fenton reaction, the traditional highly symmetrical lattice structure cannot provide the necessary electronic pathways for the active centers, making it difficult to release the polarization binding of hydroxide ions at the atomic scale. Single-active-center systems face a fundamental constraint between electron migration rate and structural stability. Existing technologies struggle to maintain high-density active-center circulation and long-term lattice structure stability over a wide pH range.

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to provide a Fe-Cu-Mn ternary hydrotalcite catalyst that solves the problems of narrow pH range, blocked electron circulation and poor structural stability of existing heterogeneous catalytic systems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a Fe-Cu-Mn ternary hydrotalcite catalyst, comprising:

[0006] The catalyst is a ternary layered double hydroxide with a distorted lamellar structure, consisting of iron, copper and manganese elements, which are distributed in an atomically dispersed state at the metal central sites of the layered double hydroxide lamellar structure.

[0007] The oxygen octahedrons in the laminate structure exhibit an asymmetric stretched distortion state, causing the manganese-oxygen-copper bond angles within the laminate to shift by 3.2° to 4.8° relative to the ideal hexagonal symmetric lattice.

[0008] The molar ratio of metal elements in the catalyst satisfies the following conditions: the molar ratio of copper to manganese is 1:2 to 1:5, and the molar ratio of the sum of the molar amounts of copper and manganese to that of iron is 2:1 to 4:1.

[0009] Lattice parameters of the catalyst in the 110 crystal plane direction of the layer The interlayer spacing is 0.305 nm to 0.312 nm, and in the 003 crystal plane direction. The wavelength ranges from 0.75nm to 0.79nm.

[0010] Copper and manganese in the layer Tracks and iron The orbitals construct an electron transfer path through spatial overlap. Under pH conditions of 7.0 to 10.0, the electron transfer path achieves electron cloud shift through the internal stress field generated by the asymmetric stretching distortion state, thereby releasing the polarization binding of hydroxide ions on the iron active site and maintaining the catalytic activity of the iron active site surface.

[0011] The catalyst has a specific surface area of ​​85 m² / g to 135 m² / g, and by controlling the supersaturation of the nucleation environment, the persistent internal stress generated by iron, copper and manganese elements during the crystal lattice formation process locks the shift of the manganese-oxygen-copper bond angle.

[0012] Preferably, the general chemical formula of the catalyst is: ;in, , and Let be the mole fraction of the metallic element, satisfying , , ,and ; The mole fraction of carbonate ions satisfies ; The value represents the water of crystallization, ranging from 0.5 to 2.0. The catalyst maintains electroneutrality by compensating for the charge of the layer structure through carbonate ions within the interlayer gaps.

[0013] Preferably, the catalyst has a microstructure of stacked hexagonal plates with a lateral particle size of 150 nm to 400 nm and a thickness of 15 nm to 35 nm. The hexagonal plates form an open-layered structure with step defects at the edges through heterogeneous nucleation of ternary metals during the co-precipitation process.

[0014] Preferably, the crystal structure characteristics of the catalyst are defined by the intensity of X-ray diffraction peaks, and the ratio of the diffraction peak intensity of the 003 crystal plane to that of the 006 crystal plane is 1.8 to 2.5; the intensity ratio characterizes the highly ordered arrangement of iron, copper and manganese elements in the laminate structure.

[0015] Preferably, the hydroxyl coverage density on the catalyst surface is 8.5 μmol / m² to 12.0 μmol / m²; and in a reaction system with a pH of 7.0 to 10.0, the adsorption energy of hydrogen peroxide molecules by the iron active center of the catalyst is 0.35 eV to 0.55 eV.

[0016] Preferably, the degree of lattice distortion of the catalyst is measured by the ratio of interatomic spacing. Measurement, interatomic spacing ratio Satisfy the following formula: ,in, The distortion factor characterizes the degree of lattice stretching in laminates; This represents the average interatomic distance between manganese and copper atoms in the laminate structure. The average interatomic distance between iron atoms in a laminated structure; interatomic distance ratio. It meets the range of 1.05 to 1.12.

[0017] Preferably, the catalyst has magnetic recovery characteristics, with a saturation magnetization of 1.2 emu / g to 3.5 emu / g; the magnetic characteristics originate from the ferromagnetic arrangement generated by the superexchange interaction between iron and manganese elements within the layers.

[0018] Preferably, the layer structure contains metal central site vacancies, and the number of metal central site vacancies accounts for 1.5% to 3.0% of the total number of metal central sites; the metal central site vacancies induce the activation of oxygen molecules on the catalyst surface by adjusting the local electronic state density of the layer.

[0019] Preferably, the catalyst exhibits erosion resistance and, after continuous operation for 100 hours in a reaction system with a pH of 7.0 to 10.0, the mass dissolution rate of metal ions is less than 0.5 mg / L, and the offset of the manganese-oxygen-copper bond angle remains constant. The catalyst is prepared by reacting a mixed metal salt solution containing iron, copper, and manganese salts with an alkaline solution in a precipitation environment with a pH of 9.5 to 10.5. In-situ encapsulation of enduring internal stress is achieved by controlling the mechanical shear rate during the precipitation process.

[0020] A method for preparing a Fe-Cu-Mn ternary hydrotalcite catalyst includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 111: Dissolve iron salt, copper salt and manganese salt in water to obtain a mixed metal salt solution, wherein the molar ratio of copper to manganese is 1:2 to 1:5, and the molar ratio of the sum of the molar amounts of copper and manganese to that of iron is 2:1 to 4:1.

[0022] Step 112: The mixed metal salt solution and the alkaline solution are added dropwise to the reactor in parallel to carry out a co-precipitation reaction. During the reaction, the pH of the reaction system is maintained at 9.5 to 10.5 by adjusting the dropping rate of the mixed metal salt solution and the alkaline solution, while the shear rate of the reaction system is controlled at 2800 rpm to 4000 rpm, so as to generate persistent internal stress by adjusting the supersaturation of the nucleation environment during the formation of the lamination lattice.

[0023] Step 113, the product after the co-precipitation reaction is heated at 60°C. Up to 80 The catalyst is obtained by aging at a certain temperature for 12 to 24 hours, followed by filtration, washing and drying.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention provides a Fe-Cu-Mn ternary hydrotalcite catalyst and its preparation method, which have the following advantages:

[0025] 1. In Fe-Cu-Mn ternary hydrotalcite catalysts, a multi-active-center system with high electronic interaction is constructed through the atomic-level coordination of three metal elements (iron, copper, and manganese) in the hydrotalcite-like lattice. This spatial synergistic distribution of the ternary components enables electrons to migrate rapidly between metal ions of different valence states, breaking the constraint of the electron gain and loss rate of a single metal center on the overall reaction process. During the reaction, copper and manganese elements act as auxiliary centers, inducing electrons to flow to the iron active sites and promoting the cyclic generation of active species. This results in an overall improvement in catalytic reaction efficiency and optimization of reagent consumption.

[0026] 2. By utilizing the layered structure of hydrotalcite-like materials and the regulatory capabilities of their surface functional groups, a self-regulating microenvironment response layer is formed on the catalyst surface. Through local intervention in the interfacial charge state and hydrogen ion distribution, the catalytic decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide can be successfully triggered under complex conditions that are close to neutral or even weakly alkaline. This solves the dependence of traditional processes on strongly acidic conditions, avoids process fluctuations caused by frequent adjustments to the pH of the reaction system, and enhances the engineering adaptability of the technical solution to raw water with different properties.

[0027] 3. During the co-precipitation nucleation process, ternary metal ions achieve mutual support and structural complementarity, enhancing the chemical stability and anti-leakage ability of the layered framework. The coexistence of multiple metal elements not only increases the density of active sites, but also reduces the dissolution tendency of components in strong oxidizing environments through the optimization of lattice energy. The establishment of this solid-phase surface reaction mode locks the active components in the catalyst body, ensuring long-term and stable catalytic efficiency, while also simplifying the subsequent solid-liquid separation and disposal process, reflecting the high degree of unity between material structure and function.

[0035] A Fe-Cu-Mn ternary hydrotalcite-like catalyst and its preparation method are disclosed. The catalyst is a metal hydroxide composition with an asymmetric distorted lamellar structure. Iron, copper, and manganese are used as active components, and these metal elements are atomically dispersed at the metal central sites of the hydrotalcite-like lamellar structure. The oxygen octahedrons in the lamellar structure are in an asymmetric stretched distorted state, causing the manganese-oxygen-copper bond angles within the lamellar structure to change relative to an ideal hexagonal symmetric lattice. to The offset; in In a weakly alkaline reaction system with a pH of 7.0 to 10.0, the internal stress field generated by this asymmetric stretching distortion induces a directional shift in the electron cloud, which is mediated by copper and manganese.

In the reaction, the efficient reaction range of conventional iron-based catalysts is usually limited to a narrow acidic environment. As the alkalinity of the system increases, the active sites on the catalyst surface are easily deactivated by the shielding effect of hydroxide ions. To address this technical challenge, this invention creates persistent internal stress within the catalyst layers by adjusting the metal component ratio and the supersaturation during lattice formation to lock the shift of the manganese-copper bond angle. The molar ratio of metal elements in the catalyst satisfies the following conditions: the molar ratio of copper to manganese is 1:2 to 1:5, and the sum of the molar amounts of copper and manganese relative to the molar ratio of iron is 2:1 to 4:1. This specific ratio constructs electron tunnels within the lattice that guide the active iron centers, ensuring high efficiency under alkaline conditions. cycle.

It maintains comparable catalytic performance to that under acidic conditions even in a strongly alkaline environment with a pH of 10.0; the general chemical formula of the catalyst is represented as follows: ;in, , and Let be the mole fraction of the metallic element, satisfying , , ,and ; The mole fraction of carbonate ions satisfies ; The crystal water content ranges from 0.5 to 2.0. The catalyst interlayer gaps are maintained electrically neutral by compensating for charge with carbonate ions. In addition, the interlayer structure contains metal central site vacancies, which account for 1.5% to 3.0% of the total number of metal central sites. These vacancies are used to adjust the local electronic state density of the interlayer and induce dissolved oxygen to be activated on the catalyst surface.

The concentration was stabilized between 1.8 and 2.5. In the preparation procedure, the instantaneous supersaturation of metal ions was maintained within the range of 1.2 to 1.5 by controlling the co-current droplet loading rate in step 112. This was used to drive the alternating arrangement of heterogeneous metal atoms at nucleation sites, thereby suppressing the agglomeration tendency of the same metal element in the early stages of lattice growth. The catalyst preparation procedure is as follows: Step 111, iron salt, copper salt, and manganese salt are dissolved in water to prepare a mixed metal salt solution, controlling the molar ratio of copper to manganese between 1:2 and 1:5, and the sum of the molar amounts of copper and manganese relative to the molar ratio of iron between 2:1 and 4:1; Step 112, the mixed metal salt solution and the alkaline solution are added co-currently to the reactor for a co-precipitation reaction, with the reaction temperature set at 25°C. Up to 40 Between; the system is maintained by adjusting the dropping rate. The supersaturation was controlled at 9.5 to 10.5, while the shear rate of the stirring system was controlled at 2800 rpm to 4000 rpm. Under this high-intensity mechanical shear environment, the supersaturation in the early stage of nucleation fluctuated instantaneously, thereby generating and encapsulating persistent internal stress in the crystal lattice. In step 113, the co-precipitated product was subjected to a process at 60°C. Up to 80 Aging for 12 to 24 hours under controlled conditions; at the end of aging, a controlled rapid cooling treatment is performed, with the cooling rate controlled to be no less than 10°C. / min, until the temperature drops to 35 The following; this rapid cooling process locked down and Collaborative generation - The distorted pinned state causes a geometric shift in the manganese-oxygen-copper bond angle; the resulting product is filtered, washed until neutral, and dried to obtain the finished catalyst.

X-ray diffraction characteristics show that the intensity ratio of the diffraction peaks of the 003 crystal plane to that of the 006 crystal plane is 1.8 to 2.5, which characterizes the highly ordered arrangement of metal elements in the layers; the hydroxyl group coverage density on the catalyst surface is 8.5. Up to 12.0 ;exist In reaction systems with a concentration of 7.0 to 10.0, the adsorption energy of hydrogen peroxide molecules by the iron active centers is between 0.35 eV and 0.55 eV, ensuring efficient activation of reactant molecules. To achieve magnetic recovery of the catalyst, iron and manganese elements form a ferromagnetic arrangement through superexchange within the layers, resulting in a saturation magnetization of 1.2 emu / g to 3.5 emu / g. This catalyst exhibits erosion resistance. After running continuously for 100 hours in a high-load reaction system of 7.0 to 10.0, the mass dissolution rate of metal ions remained below 0.5 mg / L, and the offset of the manganese-oxygen-copper bond angle did not decrease. This distorted structure, which is solidified by controlled thermal stress, enhances the chemical bonding force of the catalyst and effectively inhibits the hydrolysis and shedding of active components under complex water quality conditions.

[0040] Example 1: Wastewater system in landfill leachate treatment operation With a value of 9.0, hydroxide ions in the water undergo strong polarization coordination with the active sites of conventional iron-based catalysts, leading to an increase in electron cloud density around the iron active centers and generating an electrostatic shielding effect, thus enhancing the traditional heterogeneous...

This represents the average interatomic distance between manganese and copper atoms in the laminated structure. is the average interatomic distance between iron atoms in the laminate structure.

[0041] The reaction system is maintained When the catalytic process is initiated at a pH of 9.0, the iron active centers preferentially coordinate with hydrogen peroxide molecules under the electron transfer driven by the internal stress field, neutralizing the alkaline environment. The technology suppresses cyclic degradation; through the controlled distribution of ternary metal ions during lattice formation, copper and manganese are used to provide electronic compensation for the iron active centers, enhancing their redox efficiency under weakly alkaline conditions; it resolves the contradiction between catalytic activity and structural stability in alkaline environments by utilizing atomically dispersed metal center vacancies to generate activated dissolved oxygen, achieving continuous degradation of organic pollutants within a single structure. This technical solution alters the local electronic state density of the active centers, making the originally controlled catalytic activity more stable. The constrained chemical kinetic process is transformed into a stress-driven physicochemical process under the distorted lattice framework; the results of continuous operation for 100 hours show that the chemical oxygen demand removal rate in wastewater remains stable and the mass dissolution rate of active components is maintained at a level below 0.5 mg / L; based on the design of lattice asymmetric distortion locking, the catalytic efficiency is anchored to the physical strain state solidified by the process specification by constructing electron transfer paths at the atomic scale.

Through asymmetric stretching and distortion activation, the manganese-oxygen-copper bond angle shifts by 3.2° to 4.8°. Under the influence of the internal stress field, this induces a directional shift of the electron cloud, thereby constructing an electron transfer path to release polarization binding. By neutralizing the polarization binding effect and removing the shielding effect, the active sites in the core mechanism remain active, ultimately achieving wide pH adaptability and maintaining catalytic activity. This allows for stable operation within the pH range of 7.0 to 10.0 for the efficient treatment of alkaline wastewater.

The decline in hydroxyl radical production under certain conditions was addressed by preparing a product with controlled vacancy concentration according to the aforementioned specific implementation method. - - The ternary hydrotalcite catalyst, wherein the initial acidity of the mixed metal salt solution in step 112 is adjusted to introduce cation vacancies accounting for 2.4% of the total number of metal central sites; during the high-pressure aging stage, the pressure in the reactor is increased. Constantly maintained at 0.8 MPa to suppress the pressure along the laminate. axial growth, adjusting the lattice parameters of the 110 crystal plane of the layer. Locked at 0.310 nm; mechanical shearing at 3500 rpm generates shear work, which is converted into lattice stress. This process satisfies the following energy balance relationship: ,in, The internal energy increment absorbed per unit mass of the lattice is expressed in J / kg. The shear energy conversion coefficient is taken as 0.15; This represents the actual mechanical shear rate, expressed in rpm. The critical shear rate for maintaining lattice symmetry during growth is 2000 rpm. Under high-load conditions with a value of 9.5, the catalyst plate contains 12 The asymmetric tensile distortion state locked by the rapid quenching procedure produces a 4.5° manganese-oxygen-copper bond angle shift, which drives electron flow towards the iron active center. Vacancies at the metal central sites distributed on the surface regulate the local electronic state density, reducing the adsorption energy of dissolved oxygen molecules from -0.12 eV to -0.45 eV, inducing their in-situ conversion to singlet oxygen. Utilizing the synergistic effect of the physical strain field and defect energy levels of the laminated structure, a wide... Multi-path oxidation reactions are triggered under certain environmental conditions; data from 120 consecutive hours of operation indicate that the catalyst's lattice parameters... The fluctuation range is less than 0.002nm, and the chemical oxygen demand removal rate remains above 87.5%.

[0050] In the gradient experiment used to verify the contribution of the defect energy level of the laminate to the catalytic activity, the metal ion loss rate during the precursor precipitation process was controlled by adjusting the initial acidity value of the mixed metal salt solution in step 112, thereby generating cation vacancies of different densities. Three groups of catalyst samples with cation vacancy concentrations of 1.5%, 2.2%, and 3.0% were prepared in the experimental group. Their band gap energy values ​​were measured by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The data showed that as the vacancy concentration increased from 1.5% to 3.0%, the stimulated electronic transition energy level of the material shifted from 2.1 eV to 1.8 eV. This energy level shift enhanced the catalyst's utilization efficiency of visible light and its polarization ability for dissolved oxygen molecules, increasing the initial oxidation rate of organic pollutants in wastewater by 12.5% ​​under anoxic conditions without hydrogen peroxide replenishment. This preparation method based on physical parameter calibration eliminates the randomness in the vacancy construction process by quantifying mechanical shear energy and aging pressure, enabling the catalyst to exhibit performance stability under dynamic conditions.

To correct the zero-point drift error of the diffractometer, peak stripping and center fitting were performed on the 110-like hydrotalcite crystal plane to calculate the average interatomic spacing. and The distortion factor of this batch of catalyst was determined using the following formula. : ,in, The distortion factor characterizes the degree of lattice stretching in laminates. The distance between manganese and copper atoms in the laminate structure is expressed in nm. This represents the average interatomic distance between iron atoms within the laminate structure, expressed in nm.

[0052] When the system faces on-site deployment conditions with fluctuating organic loads in wastewater treatment, a pre-commissioning procedure based on the reaction rate constant is executed to determine the initial baseline value of hydrogen peroxide dosage for a specific batch of catalyst. On-site wastewater is injected into a 1L container, 1.0g of the catalyst from that batch is added, and the system is adjusted. The catalytic reaction was initiated with a hydrogen peroxide to chemical oxygen demand (COD) mass ratio of 9.0, using three energy levels: 0.5:1, 1:1, and 1.5:1. Absorbance data was recorded within 15 minutes of reaction initiation using an online monitoring system, and the apparent rate constant under different addition ratios was calculated. When the growth slope of this constant approaches 0, the corresponding mass ratio is set as the control parameter for automatic on-site drug replenishment; the amount of interference caused by environmental fluctuations is included in the initial setting so that the operating parameters of the catalytic system are within the preset range.

The transverse particle size of the laminate was measured using transmission electron microscopy. With thickness Determine the aspect ratio parameter based on the above measurements. It satisfies the formula The values ​​are between 10 and 15. In a constant-pressure reaction system with a mechanical stirring rate of 500 rpm, the mass transfer correction coefficients corresponding to samples with different aspect ratios are calculated by monitoring the decay trajectory of the chemical oxygen demand concentration of wastewater over time. The obtained correction coefficients are used to correct the catalyst addition setpoint in the automatic control system.
