AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing heterogeneous catalytic ozonation catalysts suffer from problems such as unstable active sites, high cobalt dissolution rate, and single catalytic pathway, which limit their application in the treatment of recalcitrant industrial wastewater.

Method used

Using urea as the nitrogen source and cobalt nitrate hexahydrate as the metal precursor, a highly dispersed and low-dissolution zero-valent cobalt/nitrogen-doped activated carbon catalyst was prepared by a two-step calcination method. By precisely controlling the calcination temperature, the in-situ generation and stable dispersion of zero-valent cobalt were achieved, thus constructing a multi-pathway synergistic catalytic system of free radicals and non-free radicals.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the efficiency and stability of catalytic ozonation, achieving efficient decomposition and mineralization of phenol. The catalyst exhibits excellent stability and efficient degradation ability during multiple cycles of use.

Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing and applying a highly dispersed, low-dissolution, zero-valent cobalt / nitrogen-doped activated carbon catalyst, belonging to the field of catalyst technology. The method involves washing activated carbon with deionized water until neutral and drying it to obtain a support; placing the support in a hydrogen peroxide solution, stirring, washing with deionized water until neutral, and drying to obtain an oxidized support; immersing the oxidized support in a urea solution, stirring, and drying to obtain a nitrogen-doped precursor; placing the nitrogen-doped precursor in a tube furnace and calcining it for the first time under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a nitrogen-doped support; immersing the nitrogen-doped support in a cobalt nitrate hexahydrate solution, stirring, drying, and then calcining it a second time under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a highly dispersed, low-dissolution, zero-valent cobalt / nitrogen-doped activated carbon catalyst. The preparation process of this invention is simple and controllable, and the prepared catalyst exhibits both high activity and high stability, making it suitable for large-scale preparation and industrial water treatment applications.
