Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photocatalytic algae removal technology, specifically relating to a nickel-containing carbon nitride-supported chalcopyrite composite material and its photocatalytic algae removal application. Background Technology
[0002] Microcystis aeruginosa, belonging to the genus Microcystis in the phylum Cyanobacteria, is a representative harmful algae species most prone to causing algal blooms in freshwater bodies worldwide. Its outbreaks are not driven by a single factor, but rather by the synergistic effects of multiple factors, including eutrophication, climate change, altered hydrological conditions, and interbiotic interactions. In recent years, with increased human activity and the intensification of global warming, the range, frequency, and duration of Microcystis aeruginosa blooms have continued to expand, gradually extending from traditional large lakes to small and medium-sized reservoirs, urban landscape water bodies, aquaculture ponds, and river tributaries. This phenomenon not only disrupts the structural and functional integrity of aquatic ecosystems but also poses a serious threat to drinking water safety, human health, and socio-economic development, becoming a major ecological and environmental challenge urgently needing to be addressed in the field of water environment.
[0003] Photocatalytic oxidation technology, as an important branch of advanced oxidation technology, has shown broad application prospects in the field of water pollutant treatment due to its advantages such as mild reaction conditions, no secondary pollution, and strong oxidation capacity, especially suitable for the killing and control of Microcystis aeruginosa. The core of this technology is the photocatalyst, whose performance directly determines the photocatalytic algae removal effect. Graphite-phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4), as a novel metal-free semiconductor photocatalyst, has advantages such as simple preparation, low cost, good chemical stability, and strong visible light responsiveness, and has attracted widespread attention in the fields of photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, sterilization, and algae removal. However, pure g-C3N4 has inherent defects such as a fast photogenerated electron-hole recombination rate, small specific surface area, and limited light absorption range, which significantly limit its photocatalytic activity and make it difficult to meet the actual needs of algae removal in water bodies. Therefore, modification of g-C3N4 has become a key research direction. Metal sulfides, with their unique electronic structure and narrow band gap characteristics, have become one of the ideal materials for modifying g-C3N4. CuFeS2, as a ternary sulfide semiconductor, possesses excellent visible light absorption, good conductivity, and catalytic activity. Rich in Fe, it can participate in Fenton-like reactions to generate a large number of reactive oxygen species, further enhancing photocatalytic oxidation performance and demonstrating promising application potential in the field of photocatalysis. Meanwhile, nickel (Ni) and its sulfides, as highly efficient co-catalysts, can effectively promote the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, reduce the charge recombination rate, and provide abundant active sites, significantly improving the photocatalytic activity of the composite material. Therefore, it is an effective modifier for improving the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4.
[0004] In summary, the development of a highly efficient method for inactivating Microcystis aeruginosa based on g-C3N4 and CuFeS2 has significant research value and practical application. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a method for synthesizing CuFeS2-Ni-g-C3N4 composite material by in-situ coupling of nickel-containing graphitic carbon nitride with natural chalcopyrite. The synthesized CuFeS2-Ni-g-C3N4 material is a photocatalytic material that combines efficient inactivation of Microcystis aeruginosa and degradation of algal toxins. It can directly utilize sunlight to achieve the inactivation of Microcystis aeruginosa and rapid degradation of algal toxins in flowing water, greatly improving the photocatalytic sterilization efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The first aspect of this invention provides a method for synthesizing a nickel-containing carbon nitride-supported chalcopyrite composite material (CuFeS2-Ni-g-C3N4), the method comprising the following steps: S1. Using a nitrogen-containing carbon-based precursor as raw material, a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) precursor was prepared by high-temperature polymerization. Subsequently, the graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was dispersed in water, ultrasonically treated, and dried to achieve its modification. Then, the modified graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was dispersed in a water-alcohol mixed solution, and a nickel chloride solution was added. After stirring in a water bath, washing, and drying, the loading modification was completed, and finally, a nickel carbon nitride (Ni / g-C3N4) composite material was obtained. S2. Using Ni / g-C3N4 composite material as a base, it is dispersed in water; then copper salt solution, iron salt solution and thiourea solution are added, and after heating and stirring, the resulting mixture is subjected to hydrothermal reaction. After the reaction, the precipitate is collected and washed; after washing, the precipitate is dried and calcined in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain nickel-containing carbon nitride supported chalcopyrite composite material (CuFeS2-Ni-g-C3N4).
[0007] The CuFeS2-Ni-g-C3N4 prepared using the method of this invention can be used as a composite photocatalyst for photocatalytic-Fenton in-situ coupling inactivation of Microcystis aeruginosa. This catalyst can generate hydrogen peroxide in situ under visible light irradiation, and its own ferrous ions can activate the generated hydrogen peroxide, thus constructing a highly efficient photo-Fenton in-situ coupling system. During the photocatalytic reaction, hydrogen peroxide reacts with ferrous ions to generate a large number of reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen. On the one hand, hydrogen peroxide can disrupt the permeability of the Microcystis aeruginosa cell membrane; on the other hand, the participation of ferrous ions significantly increases the production of hydroxyl radicals. The synergistic effect of these two factors greatly improves the photocatalytic inactivation efficiency of Microcystis aeruginosa. Furthermore, this catalyst can also be used to degrade algal toxins in the aquatic environment, demonstrating significant practical value.

The method first involves high-temperature polymerization of a nitrogen-containing carbon-based precursor to obtain g-C3N4, followed by loading and modification with nickel chloride to obtain Ni-g-C3N4.

[0038] Experimental Example: Verification of the Killing Effect of CuFeS2 / Ni-g-C3N4 on Microcystis aeruginosa and its Degradation Effect on Algal Toxins (1) Test method 1) Dissolve 1.70 g of BG-11 culture medium powder in 1000 mL of ultrapure water, sterilize in an autoclave (121℃, 30 minutes), and cool to room temperature. When Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB-905 reaches the plateau phase, take an appropriate amount of algal solution, add an equal volume of BG11 culture medium, inoculate into a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask, and incubate the algal solution in a light incubator. Take 40 mL of the solution at a density of approximately 1×10⁻⁶. 7 The experiment was conducted using an algal cell solution containing 10 mg of photocatalyst (CuFeS2-Nig-C3N4, CuFeS2, Ni / g-C3N4). The solution was then shaken and mixed to obtain a suspension. A control group without the catalyst was also included.
[0039] 2) Place the above suspension under a xenon lamp light source and turn on the light source (light intensity: 60mw / cm²).2 Photocatalytic performance was tested. During the Microcystis aeruginosa inactivation test, samples were taken every 1 hour to determine the algal concentration. Simultaneously, the algal solution was filtered using a 0.22 μm aqueous microporous membrane, and the concentration of microcystin toxin MC-LR was determined using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap mass spectrometer equipped with a C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.9 μm).
[0040] (2) Test results like Figure 2 As shown, the CuFeS2 / Ni-g-C3N4 composite catalyst exhibits significantly better algicidal performance than the single-component catalysts (CuFeS2, Ni / g-C3N4) and the control group, making it a highly efficient photocatalytic killer of Microcystis aeruginosa. Dark reaction control experiments confirmed that the killing activity of this composite catalyst is strictly dependent on light irradiation, representing a typical photocatalytic mechanism. The activities of single-component CuFeS2 and Ni / g-C3N4 are both weaker than those of the composite catalyst, indicating that the combination of the two produces a synergistic catalytic effect, significantly improving the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers or the generation capacity of active species.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the CuFeS2 / Ni-g-C3N4 composite catalyst exhibits significantly better algal toxin degradation performance than the single-component catalysts (CuFeS2, Ni / g-C3N4) and the control group, making it a highly efficient photocatalytic degradation agent for algal toxins. Both single-component CuFeS2 and Ni / g-C3N4 showed extremely weak activity, but the composite catalyst showed a significant increase in activity, demonstrating a synergistic effect that promoted the separation of photogenerated carriers and the removal of reactive oxygen species (such as ·OH and ·O2). - The generation of algal toxins through efficient oxidation and decomposition.
