Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water treatment technology, specifically relating to spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Water scarcity, escalating water pollution, and deteriorating aquatic ecosystems have become key challenges hindering sustainable social development. The widespread presence of persistent micropollutants poses a serious threat to water safety and human health. These pollutants originate from various sectors of production and daily life, are frequently detected in global water environments, and are characterized by complex chemical structures, strong resistance to degradation, and significant environmental persistence. Long-term exposure may lead to a series of adverse effects, including endocrine disruption, genotoxicity, and even teratogenicity, carcinogenicity, and mutation, making them a key challenge in the current water treatment field.
[0003] Traditional water treatment processes generally have limitations in dealing with recalcitrant micropollutants: physical processes such as coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration can only remove some suspended pollutants, with minimal effect on dissolved micropollutants; chlorination disinfection processes have limited oxidation capacity and easily generate more toxic chlorinated byproducts, exacerbating water quality safety risks; activated carbon adsorption processes are limited by adsorption capacity and require frequent regeneration, leading to increased operating costs; biological treatment processes can only degrade some biodegradable pollutants and are ineffective against recalcitrant micropollutants. These inherent defects in these processes have prevented an effective solution to the purification problem of recalcitrant micropollutants in the aquatic environment, necessitating the development of new and efficient water treatment technologies.
[0004] Ozone catalytic oxidation has become a preferred technology for purifying recalcitrant micropollutants due to its advantages such as simple operation, strong environmental adaptability, high treatment efficiency, and no secondary pollution. The core of this process lies in the performance of the catalyst; a highly efficient catalyst can accelerate ozone decomposition and rapidly generate highly reactive secondary free radicals, thereby achieving deep oxidation and mineralization of recalcitrant pollutants. However, existing ozone catalysts generally suffer from insufficient exposure of active sites, low mass transfer efficiency between ozone and active sites, and weak biatomic synergistic effects, which limit ozone catalytic efficiency and make it difficult to achieve efficient pollutant removal within a short residence time. Therefore, developing a novel ozone catalyst with high catalytic efficiency, strong pollutant removal capacity, and short residence time, along with related water treatment technologies, has become a key requirement for overcoming the current bottlenecks in the treatment of recalcitrant micropollutants. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention aims to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention provides a spin-synergistic MnN3 / CoN4 dual-monoatom ozone catalytic microsphere, which solves the technical problems of poor removal efficiency of recalcitrant micropollutants with complex chemical structures, strong degradation resistance, and significant environmental persistence in traditional water treatment processes. Existing ozone catalysts suffer from insufficient exposure of active sites, low mass transfer efficiency between ozone and active sites, and weak dual-atom synergistic effects, resulting in limited ozone catalytic efficiency, insufficient pollutant removal capacity, and long reaction residence time, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency water purification requirements in scenarios such as advanced drinking water treatment, reclaimed water reuse, and industrial wastewater resource utilization.
[0006] This invention also provides a method for preparing spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres.
[0007] This invention also provides the application of spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres in wastewater treatment.
[0008] The first aspect of the present invention provides spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres, comprising a silicate-based spherical support and a spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalyst supported on the surface of the silicate-based spherical support, wherein the loading amount of the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single atoms is 0.1 mg / g to 5.0 mg / g.
[0009] The spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres of the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects: The spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres of this invention have a core active site that is a spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom catalyst. Utilizing the spin-coordinated Mn-Co bimetallic single-atom site within the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom, rapid adsorption and efficient catalytic decomposition of ozone molecules are achieved. The generated secondary free radicals exhibit higher degradation and mineralization capabilities for harmful pollutants compared to ozone molecules. Furthermore, ozone also possesses multiple functions such as sterilization, algae removal, and disinfection, effectively ensuring water quality safety.
[0010] The silicate-based spherical support achieves uniform loading of MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalysts by utilizing hydration-induced solidification and gelation properties. The support structure is stable, providing solid support for the catalytic reaction and preventing catalyst loss during water treatment stirring and aeration, thus ensuring the stability of catalytic efficiency.
[0011] The core active site is a spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single atom. The synergistic effect between the two atoms can promote the co-adsorption and synergistic catalytic decomposition of ozone molecules. Combined with the regulation of electronic structure by defect sites, it can enhance the electronic interaction with ozone molecules, so that ozone is almost 100% converted into highly active secondary free radicals, which can significantly improve the degradation and mineralization of recalcitrant micropollutants.
[0012] With a loading range of 0.1 mg / g to 5.0 mg / g, it ensures sufficient active site density to efficiently handle organic micropollutants with concentrations of 0.1 mg C / L to 5 mg C / L, while avoiding resource waste caused by excessive catalyst. At the same time, the porous characteristics of the silicate support and the catalyst's own ultra-large specific surface area provide a sufficient contact platform for the reaction, shortening the reaction residence time (efficient removal can be achieved in 300s to 600s).
[0013] The composite catalytic microspheres of this invention are suitable for various scenarios such as advanced drinking water treatment, reclaimed water reuse, and industrial wastewater (pharmaceutical, printing and dyeing, etc.) treatment. They can efficiently remove recalcitrant pollutants such as nitrobenzene and benzotriazole, and ensure water quality safety by leveraging the bactericidal, algae-removing, and disinfecting effects of ozone. In industrial wastewater treatment, they can also improve the biodegradability of effluent and contribute to the resource-based regeneration of water resources.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the pollutants in the wastewater to be treated are nitrobenzene, benzotriazole, p-hydroxybenzoic acid or 4-nitrophenol.
[0064] The wastewater treatment method of this invention utilizes a diatomic catalyst with a high level of active site exposure as an ozone catalyst. This high site exposure significantly circumvents the mass transfer process between ozone molecules and active sites, enhancing the ozone catalytic process. Furthermore, the effective synergistic effect between the diatomic sites enables co-adsorption and synergistic catalytic decomposition of ozone molecules. Simultaneously, numerous defect sites are constructed near the Mn-Co diatomic sites. These defect sites effectively modulate the electronic structure of the Mn-Co diatomic sites, significantly enhancing the electronic interaction between the diatomic sites and ozone molecules, thus strengthening the ozone catalytic process. In addition, this catalyst possesses a large specific surface area, providing a sufficient reaction platform for the ozone catalytic reaction.

It can be applied after the secondary sedimentation process in municipal wastewater treatment, utilizing a spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalytic ozonation process to effectively remove recalcitrant organic micropollutants from the water, ensuring the quality of reclaimed water reuse.
[0067] The wastewater treatment method of this invention can be applied to the efficient treatment and reuse of industrial wastewater, such as high-concentration industrial wastewater from pharmaceutical manufacturing, dyeing and printing, aquaculture, and electroplating, which is difficult to treat effectively using biochemical processes. It can be applied after conventional physical pretreatment processes (such as coagulation-sedimentation) to achieve effective removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants in water through a spin-synergistic MnN3 / CoN4 dual-monoatom catalytic ozonation process. This reduces the concentration of organic matter in the effluent while improving its biodegradability, thus realizing the resource-based regeneration of industrial wastewater.

[0088] This invention provides a spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microsphere, comprising a silicate-based spherical support and a spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalyst supported on the surface of the silicate-based spherical support, wherein the loading amount of the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single atoms is 0.1 mg / g to 5.0 mg / g.
[0089] This invention aims to address the increasingly severe problem of recalcitrant micropollutants in conventional water treatment processes. It designs a spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom ozone catalytic microsphere and applies it to the field of ozone catalytic oxidation, achieving rapid removal of recalcitrant micropollutants in a short time. This spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom ozone catalytic microsphere features a large number of spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom sites anchored on the surface of a carrier with a huge specific surface area. These active sites enable rapid ozone catalysis, generating highly oxidizing active species such as surface atomic oxygen. The Mn-Co dual-atom sites can effectively bond and interact electronically with the active terminal oxygen atoms in the ozone molecule. Furthermore, the spin-coordinated electronic regulation of the catalytic interface further enhances the electronic interaction between the Mn-Co dual atoms and ozone, enabling ozone to be converted into active species with almost 100% catalytic decomposition efficiency. The generated active species, due to their extremely high oxidizing activity, rapidly degrade recalcitrant micropollutants in the water, ensuring the quality of the effluent.
[0090] This invention reveals that when treating water rich in recalcitrant micropollutants such as 4-nitrophenol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (5 mg C / L), 100% removal of these pollutants can be achieved in just 300 seconds. For the extremely recalcitrant UV absorber benzotriazole (5 mg C / L) and the chemical intermediate nitrobenzene (5 mg C / L), this technology can achieve nearly 80% removal in just 300 seconds. Compared to traditional ozone oxidation processes, this process improves the removal capacity of benzotriazole, 4-nitrophenol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and nitrobenzene by 13.5, 5.6, 5.3, and 5.1 times, respectively. The shorter residence time and high efficiency in pollutant purification give this technology enormous application potential and technological advantages. This invention is applicable to the advanced treatment of drinking water. This invention can be applied after the filtration process in drinking water plants, utilizing a spin-synergistic MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom catalytic ozonation process to effectively remove recalcitrant organic micropollutants from water. Simultaneously, ozone has bactericidal, disinfectant, and algae-removing effects, ensuring the safety of drinking water supply. This invention can also be applied to the advanced treatment and reuse of reclaimed water. It can be applied after the secondary sedimentation process in municipal wastewater treatment, utilizing a spin-synergistic MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom catalytic ozonation process to effectively remove recalcitrant organic micropollutants from water, ensuring the quality of reclaimed water. This invention can also be applied to the efficient treatment and reuse of industrial wastewater, such as high-concentration industrial wastewater from pharmaceuticals, dyeing and printing, aquaculture, and electroplating, which is difficult to treat effectively using biochemical processes. It can be applied after conventional physical pretreatment processes (such as coagulation-sedimentation), using a spin-synergistic MnN3 / CoN4 dual-single-atom catalytic ozonation process to effectively remove recalcitrant organic pollutants from water, reducing the concentration of organic matter in the effluent while improving its biodegradability, achieving the resource-based regeneration of industrial wastewater.
[0091] Regarding the synergistic mechanism of this invention, it should be noted that the two single-atom sites of MnN3 and CoN4 can synergistically co-adsorb with the two terminal oxygen groups of ozone molecules, jointly providing more electrons to ozone molecules, thus promoting the decomposition of 1 mol of ozone into 2 mol of surface oxygen species. The dual surface oxygen species can achieve more efficient oxidative degradation of pollutants.

[0097] Example 1 A spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microsphere was prepared, and the specific process is as follows: S1: Prepare a solution of N,N-dimethylformamide containing 160 mM zinc nitrate hexahydrate, 80 mM dimethylimidazole, and 10 mM manganese acetate dihydrate. Allow the solution to react at 25°C for 8 hours. The resulting crystalline substance is then recovered, washed with ethanol, and dried. S2: The obtained solid powder was calcined at 1000℃ for 30 min under an inert gas atmosphere. The powder sample was then etched with sulfuric acid for 2 h at 50℃. Afterwards, it was recovered, washed with deionized water, and dried. S3: The obtained solid powder is subjected to high-temperature calcination in an inert gas atmosphere at a temperature of 900℃ for 90 minutes.
[0098] The calcined sample was uniformly dispersed in a mixed solution containing 20 mM cyanamide and 0.2 mM cobalt chloride, with isopropanol solution (75%) as the solute. It was then recovered, washed with deionized water, and dried. The obtained solid powder was then subjected to high-temperature calcination under an inert gas atmosphere at 1000℃ for 30 min. S4: Silicate powder is mixed with water to form a slurry, which is then granulated to obtain a spherical support. Utilizing the gelation properties of silicate, the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalyst prepared in step S3 is loaded onto the surface of the spherical support. After curing at 40°C for 12 hours, spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres are obtained.
[0099] Figure 1 The XRD characterization results are for the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalyst prepared in step S3. Characteristic diffraction peaks of the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalyst can be observed, directly confirming the successful synthesis of the catalyst and that its crystal structure is consistent with the design expectations.
[0100] Figure 2 This is the nitrogen adsorption-desorption curve of the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres prepared in Example 1. The curves exhibit typical adsorption characteristics of porous materials. Combined with BET calculations, this confirms that the catalyst possesses a huge specific surface area (up to 1250~1600 m²). 2 / g), which can provide a sufficient reaction platform for ozone catalytic reaction.
[0101] Figure 3 This is a microscopic morphology image of the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres prepared in Example 1. The microstructure (such as size and dispersion state) of the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalytic microspheres can be clearly observed, intuitively presenting the physical morphological characteristics of the catalyst and providing structural support for its catalytic performance.
[0102] Example 2 Wastewater was treated using the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual-monoatom ozone catalytic microspheres prepared in Example 1. The process was as follows: The spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres prepared in Example 1 and the micro-pollutants to be treated were added to the ozone contact reactor in sequence. When using a porous aeration device for ozone aeration, thorough stirring is required during the reaction process. After the reaction is complete, the catalyst is recovered from the water by filtration.
[0103] Ozone gas was generated using an ozone generator and aerated using jet aerator heads. The gaseous ozone concentration was 15 mg / L, the ozone gas flow rate was 100 mL / min, the residence time was 300 s, and the catalyst dosage was 50 mg / L.
[0104] The added organic micropollutants to be treated were nitrobenzene, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-nitrophenol, and benzotriazole, all at a concentration of 5 mg C / L.
[0105] Figure 4 This is the degradation curve of benzotriazole. Comparing the degradation rates of ozone oxidation alone and ozone catalytic oxidation, the catalytic group showed a significantly higher degradation efficiency, confirming that this technology has a highly efficient removal capability for benzotriazole, an extremely difficult-to-degrade UV absorber.
[0106] Figure 5 This is the degradation curve of 4-nitrophenol. The degradation rate of 4-nitrophenol in the catalytic oxidation group is much better than that in the ozone oxidation group alone, verifying that the catalyst can enhance ozone decomposition and rapidly degrade this type of recalcitrant organic micropollutant.
[0107] Figure 6 This is the degradation curve of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The ozone catalytic oxidation system shows a significantly higher removal efficiency for p-hydroxybenzoic acid than ozone oxidation alone, further demonstrating the universal and efficient removal capability of this catalytic process for recalcitrant pollutants with different structures.
[0108] Figure 7 This study investigated the effects of different anions on the degradation of nitrobenzene. The curves showed that even with the interference of multiple anions, the catalytic system maintained a stable and efficient degradation effect on nitrobenzene, confirming that the technology has strong anti-interference capabilities and is suitable for complex water quality scenarios.
[0109] Furthermore, the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres prepared in Example 1 can also be used for the efficient treatment and reuse of industrial wastewater, such as high-concentration industrial wastewater that is difficult to treat effectively by biochemical processes, including pharmaceutical wastewater, dyeing and printing wastewater, aquaculture wastewater, and electroplating wastewater. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This study targets aquaculture wastewater within industrial wastewater. Compared to ozone oxidation alone, the catalytic oxidation group can reduce the COD concentration of actual wastewater more rapidly, demonstrating that this technology has a truly effective treatment capability for practical, recalcitrant, high-COD industrial wastewater.
[0110] The spin-synergistic MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres prepared in Example 1 can also be used for advanced treatment and reuse of reclaimed water. They can be applied after the secondary sedimentation process in municipal wastewater treatment processes to effectively remove recalcitrant organic micropollutants in water using the spin-synergistic MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalytic ozonation process, thus ensuring the quality of reclaimed water reuse.
[0111] Furthermore, the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres prepared in Example 1 can also be used for the efficient treatment and reuse of industrial wastewater, such as high-concentration industrial wastewater that is difficult to treat effectively by biochemical processes, such as pharmaceutical wastewater, dyeing and printing wastewater, aquaculture wastewater, and electroplating wastewater.
[0112] Furthermore, the spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom ozone catalytic microspheres prepared in Example 1 can be used in conventional physical pretreatment processes (such as coagulation-sedimentation). The spin-coordinated MnN3 / CoN4 dual single-atom catalytic ozonation process can effectively remove recalcitrant organic pollutants from water, reduce the concentration of organic matter in the effluent while improving its biodegradability, and realize the resource-based regeneration of industrial wastewater.
[0113] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
