Abstract
Description
I. Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology, and specifically to a method for degrading microcystin in water. II. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing eutrophication of water bodies, cyanobacterial blooms are occurring frequently. Microcystins, as toxic secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacterial blooms, pose a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Currently, the main methods for removing microcystins include physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical methods, such as adsorption and filtration, can only transfer microcystins from the water body and cannot completely degrade them; chemical methods, such as oxidation and reduction, may produce secondary pollution; biological methods, such as microbial degradation, have a slow degradation rate and are greatly affected by environmental factors. Therefore, developing an efficient, rapid, and pollution-free method for degrading microcystins is of significant practical importance. III. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Purpose of the invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for degrading microcystin in water, so as to solve the problems of poor microcystin removal effect and easy secondary pollution in the prior art.
[0005] Technical solution
[0006] This invention provides a method for degrading microcystin in water, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Water samples containing a certain concentration of microcystin were compared with structural... The catalysts were mixed in a certain proportion and stirred evenly to obtain a mixture. The mixture was then placed under visible light of different intensities and reacted for a period of time. The degradation rate of microcystin was then measured.
[0008] The initial concentration of the microcystin is 0.0001-10 mg / L.
[0009] The concentration of the catalyst in the water sample was 0.001-0.1 g / L.
[0010] The intensity of the illumination conditions is 50-5000 lux.
[0011] The reaction time is 0.5-3 hours.
[0012] The microcystin includes microcystin-LR and microcystin-RR.
[0013] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. High efficiency and speed: By mixing a catalyst with a specific structure with a water sample containing microcystin and reacting it under visible light of a certain intensity, the concentration of toxins in the water sample can be significantly reduced in a short time, with a degradation efficiency of up to 95%-99.9%.
[0015] 2. Wide applicability: This method is applicable to water samples with varying concentrations of microcystin, ranging from 0.0001 mg / L to 10 mg / L. This means it can treat a wide range of water samples, from lightly polluted to heavily polluted. Furthermore, the catalyst concentration range is also relatively wide (0.001-0.1 g / L), providing flexibility for practical applications.
[0016] 3. Easy to achieve lighting conditions: Using visible light as the reaction condition avoids the need for ultraviolet light or high-intensity light sources, thus reducing energy consumption and costs. Furthermore, visible light is widely available in nature, so this method can be easily implemented outdoors or indoors.
[0017] 4. Environmentally friendly: The use of catalysts does not introduce new pollutants, and the reaction is likely to be easily recycled and treated, meeting environmental protection requirements. Furthermore, the use of visible light as an energy source reduces the use of chemical reagents, further minimizing the potential environmental impact.
[0018] 5. Simple operation: The method is simple and straightforward. It only requires mixing the water sample with the catalyst and reacting it under visible light for a period of time. It does not require complicated equipment or complicated operating procedures, making it easy to promote and apply.
[0019] In summary, the microcystin degradation method of the present invention has the advantages of high efficiency, wide applicability, low cost, environmental friendliness and simple operation, providing a new and effective means for treating water bodies polluted by microcystins.

[0058] Table 2 Degradation rate of microcystin-RR in water under different conditions
[0059]
[0060] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the degradation rate of microcystins was very high (96.3% and 97.2%) when both visible light and a catalyst were present. Without visible light, the degradation rate was 0%, indicating that the presence of the catalyst did not lead to the degradation of microcystins, demonstrating that visible light is necessary for their degradation. Without a catalyst, the degradation rate was low (8.9% and 10.2%), indicating that the presence of the catalyst significantly improved the degradation rate. These experimental examples demonstrate that the method employed in this invention, which combines visible light and a catalyst with a specific structure, requires both to work together to efficiently and rapidly degrade microcystins in water. Visible light alone or a catalyst alone cannot achieve efficient and rapid degradation of microcystins.
