The application discloses a
carbon nitride / kaolin supported monatomic
cobalt catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof, relates to the technical field of mineral-based catalysts, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: after kaolin,
melamine and
cobalt (III) acetylacetonate are fully ground, the mixture is calcined under an
inert atmosphere, and the
cobalt-
carbon nitride / kaolin catalyst is obtained after cooling, washing and
drying. During the
calcination process, the layered kaolin induces the
carbon nitride to generate cyano defects, provides an anchoring space for the monatomic cobalt, the
metal cobalt is highly dispersed in the form of monatomic cobalt, and the
nitrogen atom forms Co-N coordination. The catalyst is used for visible light synergistic activation of peroxymonosulfate to degrade organic pollutants, the degradation rate of orange II reaches more than 90% within 3 min, the degradation rate reaches more than 95% within 5 min, and the excellent degradation performance is still maintained after the catalyst is used for 5 cycles. The preparation method has the advantages of simple process, short period and low cost, the obtained catalyst has
high activity and good stability, and has a wide application prospect in the field of
water environment remediation.
