This invention discloses a hindered Lewis acid-
base pair type
copper pyrovanadate catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. The preparation method of the catalyst includes the following steps: adding a metavanadate solution to a
copper salt solution under stirring conditions, continuing stirring after complete addition to ensure sufficient reaction, then transferring the resulting mixture to a reaction vessel for
hydrothermal reaction, and after the reaction is completed, centrifuging to separate the
solid, washing, and
drying to obtain the hindered Lewis acid-
base pair type
copper pyrovanadate catalyst. This catalyst can promote
singlet oxygen (… 1 The generation of O2 can be used to activate oxidants such as
persulfate (PMS) to degrade organic pollutants in water. These organic pollutants include
antibiotics, specifically at least one of
tetracycline (TC),
oxytetracycline (OTC),
chlortetracycline (CTC),
doxycycline (DOX), and their derivatives. The preparation method of this invention is simple, can be
mass-produced, and is inexpensive, thus possessing broad application prospects.
