TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of peroxide, more particularly to a catalyst for degrading carbonate peroxide and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production and use of peroxide carbonates, especially peroxide dicarbonates (such as diisopropyl peroxide dicarbonate, dicyclohexyl peroxide dicarbonate), mixed wastewater such as strong acidic wastewater, strong alkaline wastewater, and product washing wastewater will be produced. Such wastewater usually contains organic peroxide (containing peroxide carbonate, peroxide ester, hydroperoxide, etc.), solvent and inorganic salt, and has the characteristics of strong irritating odor, difficult degradation, high toxicity, and poor biodegradability.
[0003] At present, the methods for degrading organic wastewater mainly include physical adsorption, biological decolorization, ultrasonic degradation, photocatalytic degradation, wet air oxidation, and microwave-assisted photocatalytic degradation. The biological method has a long treatment time and cannot completely degrade the pollutants in the wastewater. The adsorption method cannot degrade the pollutants, but only transfers their state. The photocatalytic method is only suitable for the treatment of low-concentration organic wastewater and has a long treatment time. The wet air oxidation method uses air as an oxidant under high temperature and high pressure, which requires high energy consumption and high equipment requirements. The ultrasonic degradation method has a long treatment time and low degradation efficiency. The microwave-assisted photocatalytic degradation method essentially uses microwave assistance to enhance the photocatalytic effect. The microwave catalyst materials used are mostly powders or granules, which are difficult to recover and cannot be reused. Some researchers add oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide when using microwave technology, which still does not deviate from traditional oxidation technology.
[0004] Chinese invention patent with publication number CN103663609A discloses a method for degrading COD in wastewater under microwave induction using an activated carbon loaded with manganese oxide catalyst. The catalyst can effectively remove organic matter in water. However, activated carbon has low strength and can cause secondary pollution. It cannot be reused multiple times, and the cost of the catalyst is high due to the high price of manganese.
[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the defects of low treatment efficiency, long time, low utilization rate of oxidizing agent, and high treatment cost in the prior art, it is an urgent problem for those skilled in the art to propose a new microwave catalyst for degrading organic wastewater and a degradation method. SUMMARY
[0006] In view of this, the application provides a catalyst for degrading carbonate peroxide and a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst with a "magnetic core-mesoporous shell-double active site" structure takes Fe3O4 nanoparticles as a magnetic core, coats a SiO2 mesoporous layer, forms a composite core-shell carrier, realizes rapid separation and recovery of the catalyst by using magnetism, improves substrate adsorption capacity by using the mesoporous structure, and improves catalytic activity by using the synergistic effect of double active sites through impregnation of double metal active components.
[0007] One of the purposes of the application is to provide a catalyst for degrading carbonate peroxide. The catalyst takes Fe3O4 as a magnetic core, coats a SiO2 mesoporous layer outside, and loads metal oxides on the mesoporous layer. The metal oxides are selected from two of Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Ti, Mg, and Mo. The weight ratio of the magnetic core, the mesoporous layer, and the metal oxides is 6-7:2:1-2 by weight.
[0008] The metal oxides are located on the inner and outer surfaces of the pore channels of the mesoporous material.
[0009] Preferably, the metal oxides are compounded with one of Cu, Ti, and Mg and one of Mn, Ni, Co, and Mo.
[0010] Preferably, the specific area of the catalyst is 400-700 m 2 / g, and the pore size of the mesoporous layer is 10-25 nm, and the pore volume accounts for 20-50% of the total pore volume.
[0011] The second purpose of the application is to provide a preparation method of a catalyst for degrading carbonate peroxide, which comprises the following steps: (1) taking Fe3O4 as a magnetic core, coating a SiO2 layer by a sol-gel method to obtain Fe3O4 / SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles. The sol-gel method refers to a synthesis method of hydrolyzing silicate in an aqueous solution to generate silicon oxide. In a solution containing magnetic particles, a SiO2 layer is generated by hydrolyzing silicate.
[0012] (2) Excess metal salt solution with a total concentration of 3-5 mol / L is impregnated on the Fe3O4 / SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles, impregnated at room temperature for 2 h, dried, and calcined to obtain a catalyst for degrading carbonate peroxide.
[0013] Preferably, the metal salt solution is a mixed solution of two metal salts in an equimolar ratio.
[0014] Preferably, the calcination is calcination at 400-600°C for 2 h.
[0015] The third purpose of the application is to provide a method for degrading carbonate peroxide, which comprises the following steps: (1) Install a 20-40kHz ultrasonic transducer on the side wall of the reactor, add the catalyst to the organic wastewater containing carbonate peroxides, and mix evenly; use the ultrasonic cavitation effect to generate microbubbles, strengthen the contact between the catalyst and the substrate, and at the same time destroy the intermolecular forces of peroxides, and accelerate their diffusion to the catalyst surface.
[0016] (2) Use 300-700W microwave irradiation for more than 20 minutes to achieve the degradation of carbonate peroxides.
[0017] Preferably, the power of the ultrasonic transducer is 100-200W.
[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of carbonate peroxides in the organic wastewater to the catalyst is 1:1-4.
[0019] More preferably, the carbonate peroxide is peroxide carbonate, and the peroxide carbonate content is 0.1-2 wt%.
[0020] Preferably, the catalyst is further recovered by magnetic separation after the degradation is completed.
[0021] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: (1) The catalyst coating layer of the present invention is a mesoporous material, which can provide reaction space for macromolecular organic matter and allow small molecule pollutants to enter the inner catalyst matrix for reaction, thereby reducing the limitation of pollutant diffusion.
[0022] (2) This invention can quickly and effectively degrade organic pollutants in wastewater without the need to add expensive oxidants such as H2O2 and O3.
[0023] (3) The catalyst of this invention is supported on metal oxides and has good microwave absorption performance and catalytic activity. In the microwave-assisted degradation system of organic wastewater, it can catalyze the generation of active oxide species and rapidly and effectively degrade organic pollutants in the wastewater. The addition of Cu, Ti and Mg metal oxides changes the transfer capacity of lattice oxygen and electrons in the catalyst, increases the activity of the catalyst, improves the selectivity of the catalyst, and can also adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the catalyst, thereby improving the activity and selectivity of the catalyst and reducing the generation of side reactions.
[0024] (4) The raw materials used in this invention are widely available and the operation is simple. Moreover, the catalyst is easy to recover and can be reused, which can greatly promote the engineering application of microwave catalytic oxidation of organic wastewater. Detailed Implementation
