Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a 3D dual heterojunction catalyst hydrogel, its preparation method, and its application in photo-assisted periodate-activated degradation of organic pollutants. Background Technology
[0002] Tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), a typical antibiotic pollutant, has become a research hotspot in water treatment due to its persistence in the environment and potential ecological risks. In recent years, periodate-based advanced oxidation technologies (PI-AOPs) have shown great potential in the deep treatment of tetracycline hydrochloride due to their unique advantages. Their technological development is mainly reflected in the following aspects: Firstly, regarding the reaction mechanism, research has shifted from single-radical oxidation to multi-component oxidation systems. Traditional processes such as Fenton primarily rely on non-selective oxidation with hydroxyl radicals (•OH), while periodate, upon activation, generates not only •OH but also superoxide radicals (•O2) through intermediates. - It can oxidize TCH and generate various reactive species such as iodine radicals (•IO3) and high-valence metal oxygen species. In particular, the photo-assisted PI activation system can efficiently and selectively generate singlet oxygen (•IO3). 1 O2), this oxidant has higher selectivity and longer effective action time for nitrogen-containing organic compounds such as TCH, thereby improving degradation efficiency.
[0003] Secondly, in catalyst development, research focuses on overcoming the inherent defects of traditional photocatalysts. Early catalysts suffered from poor stability and easy recombination of electron-hole pairs, limiting their practical applications. In recent years, by developing novel high-efficiency catalysts, such as transition metal (cobalt, manganese, etc.) based composite materials, and combining them with strategies such as surface modification and heterostructure construction, the activation efficiency of PI has been significantly improved, and the stability and recyclability of the catalytic system under complex environments have been enhanced.
[0004] Finally, in terms of application expansion, research is focused on addressing the performance degradation problem in complex aquatic matrices. Carbonates (CO32-) are commonly found in actual wastewater. 2- Components such as humic acid (HA) can severely interfere with the oxidation process. To address this challenge, researchers have effectively reduced the impact of water-based matrices on the degradation efficiency of TCH by optimizing reaction conditions (such as pH and temperature), introducing pretreatment steps, or designing interference-resistant reaction systems, thus promoting the transition of this technology from laboratory research to engineering applications.
[0005] In summary, significant progress has been made in the removal of TCH based on PI-AOPs technology through continuous optimization of reaction mechanisms, improvement of catalyst performance, and enhancement of anti-interference capabilities, providing a new technical approach for the advanced treatment of antibiotic pollutants.
[0006] Titanium dioxide (TiO2), as a classic photocatalyst, has shown great potential in environmental remediation and energy conversion due to its high chemical stability, low cost, and non-toxicity. However, its widespread application is still limited by two key bottlenecks: first, its relatively wide band gap means it can only respond to ultraviolet light, resulting in extremely low utilization of sunlight; second, the bulk recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes is too fast, which severely weakens quantum efficiency.
[0007] While current heterojunction engineering (such as type II and Z-type heterojunctions) offers feasible solutions to the charge separation problem, they all have inherent limitations. Traditional type II heterojunctions promote charge separation by constructing a built-in electric field, but their "sacrifice of redox potential" mechanism prevents the material from simultaneously possessing high oxidation capacity, making it unsuitable for scenarios with extremely high catalytic activity requirements, such as deep mineralization of pollutants or high-value synthesis. Z-type heterojunctions, represented by TiO2 / CdS, retain high-energy charge carriers by simulating natural photosynthesis, but their charge transfer mainly relies on random diffusion and interfacial tunneling of charge carriers, lacking direct conductive channels. This results in sluggish interfacial transport kinetics and limited overall catalytic efficiency.
[0008] In order to achieve a precise balance between efficient charge separation and strong redox capabilities, there is an urgent need to develop a highly efficient catalyst to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To address the technical problems of insufficient catalytic performance, poor stability, slow reaction kinetics, resulting in low catalytic efficiency and difficulty in recycling of existing catalysts, thus limiting their green and sustainable applications, this invention provides a 3D dual heterojunction catalyst hydrogel, its preparation method, and its application in photo-assisted periodate-activated degradation of organic pollutants. This invention proposes a synergistic enhancement strategy based on a MOF-on-MXene flexible substrate. This strategy innovatively constructs a Schottky junction / S-type heterojunction dual heterojunction system and utilizes the 3D network structure design of the three-dimensional hydrogel to construct a highly efficient, green, and easily recyclable catalyst. Using chitosan (Cs) hydrogel as a carrier, under the S-type heterojunction mechanism, photogenerated electrons will migrate directionally through the Schottky barrier and undergo redox reactions with holes, thereby retaining strong redox capabilities while mechanistically inhibiting bulk recombination. By combining the excellent conductivity of MXene with the synergistic effect of the large specific surface area of MOF and Cs, this structure not only realizes an ultrafast electron transport channel, but also significantly improves the utilization efficiency of photogenerated carriers, providing a new paradigm for the development of next-generation high-performance photocatalytic materials.
[0010] The first objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a 3D dual heterojunction catalyst hydrogel, comprising the following steps: (1) Mix acid and LiF, then add Ti3AlC2 and heat to react. Then separate the reaction solution into solid and liquid phases and take the solid phase. The obtained solid phase is MXene. Wash until neutral and disperse MXene in an organic solvent to obtain MXene solution. (2) Mix the cobalt salt solution and the MXene solution and freeze-cast them in liquid nitrogen in a directional manner so that ZIF-67 grows vertically on MXene to obtain the precursor solution; (3) Mix and stir the dimethylimidazole aqueous solution with the precursor solution; separate the solid and liquid phases of the resulting reaction solution to obtain the precipitate, wash and freeze dry to obtain MXene / ZIF-67 powder; calcine the obtained MXene / ZIF-67 powder under an inert atmosphere to obtain MXene / TiO2 / CoN6 dual heterostructure. (4) Mix the MXene / TiO2 / CoN6 dual heterostructure with chitosan colloid and add an alkaline solution to obtain the 3D dual heterostructure catalyst hydrogel.
