The invention discloses a monatomic loaded
lignin carbon-based photocatalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the photocatalyst comprises the following steps: S1,
grinding and blending
lignin and
melamine, then adding the mixture into water, transferring the obtained solution into a
hydrothermal reaction container, reacting at 175-195 DEG C for 4-10 hours, and after the reaction is finished, cooling at
room temperature, washing and centrifugally separating to obtain a
solid mixture; s2, dispersing the
solid mixture in an
aqueous solution containing
metal salt, stirring at
room temperature, and
drying after the reaction is finished; and S3, putting the dried
solid into a container, putting the container into a
pyrolysis reactor, heating to 800-1000 DEG C in an
argon atmosphere, pyrolyzing for 2-6 hours, and naturally cooling to obtain the monatomic loaded
lignin carbon-based photocatalyst. The monatomic loaded lignin carbon-based photocatalyst provided by the invention can efficiently catalyze glucose to synthesize
glucaric acid under mild conditions, and the obtained target product is relatively high in yield and easy to separate, and has a very good industrial application prospect.
