Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater degradation technology, and in particular to a composite derived carbon catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasingly active textile consumer market, the output of waste textiles is gradually increasing, especially waste denim. Denim is widely favored for its comfort and versatility, and its market demand continues to rise, leading to a surge in the generation of waste denim. In the resource utilization of waste denim, landfill disposal is prone to bacterial growth, and the recycling of lignin and short fibers is costly. Pyrolysis technology, however, not only effectively kills pathogens but also preserves carbon to the maximum extent, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Waste denim is mainly composed of pure cotton or cotton blends, with a single material and high fiber strength, making recycling relatively simple and the easiest type of textile to achieve large-scale, high-value recycling. Carbonized waste denim retains its porous structure and rich functional groups, and possesses a certain degree of mechanical strength. The application of carbon-based denim materials in water treatment has become a focus of attention in recent years.

[0003] Sulfonamide antibiotics, with sulfamethoxazole (SMX) as a typical example, are environmentally persistent, and their metabolic intermediates are frequently reduced to their parent structure through the metabolism of microorganisms and plants. SMX and its metabolic intermediates are toxic, not only disrupting the normal metabolic activities of functional microorganisms in wastewater treatment systems and reducing microbial community stability, but also promoting the accumulation of resistance genes (ARGs) in sludge, posing a potential risk to sludge disposal. Sulfamethoxazole exceeding environmental capacity poses a long-term threat to the ecological environment, making its efficient degradation an urgent priority. However, traditional coagulation and filtration methods are ineffective in capturing and removing low concentrations of sulfamethoxazole, while advanced oxidation technologies can address this challenge.

[0004] Currently, most patents on metal-carbon composite catalysts for activating peracetic acid use conventional biomass as the carbon source, with very few targeting carbon derived from waste denim. Therefore, this paper proposes a method that uses waste denim as a carbon source and constructs a carbon-based catalyst through metal doping to efficiently activate peracetic acid to degrade antibiotic wastewater. This approach combines the advantages of high-value utilization of waste denim resources with the development of low-cost antibiotic treatment technologies, and is of great significance for advancing environmental governance methods that treat waste with waste.
