The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation and
air pollution control, and particularly relates to preparation of a
manganese oxide composite material photocatalyst with foamy carbon as a substrate material. According to the preparation method, a solution impregnation method is adopted, the surface of foamy carbon is pretreated and activated, an
activated carbon skeleton can adsorb a material precursor more easily, and the MnxOy / FC
composite material can be prepared through
calcination. The MnxOy is anchored on the
carbon skeleton, so that the loss of MnxOy nanoparticles in air flow is reduced, the secondary
pollution possibly caused by the MnxOy nanoparticles in the catalytic reaction process is avoided, and the recycling of the material can be realized through the integral
material design. Experiments prove that the degradation rate of the material to 600 ppm
toluene under the
irradiation of
sunlight simulated by a 300 W
xenon lamp reaches 95% within 30 min, the material has rapid degradation efficiency to
toluene under the concentration of 100-2000 ppm, the reaction activity is basically kept unchanged in 20 cycle experiments, and the material has very strong stability. And the catalyst has good degradation performance on removal of
gaseous pollutants such as
formaldehyde,
benzene and the like, and has universality. The preparation method is simple, the raw materials are low in price, the chemical properties of the materials are stable, no
pollution is caused, the
energy consumption in the preparation process is low, and the material shows excellent degradation performance on VOCs, can be applied to various
waste gas emission or leakage environments and the like, and has a wide application prospect.
