The invention provides a method for preparing a
spinel type catalyst rich in
oxygen vacancies under the assistance of
magnetization treatment and application of the
spinel type catalyst. The synthesis method of the catalyst comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a precursor of the catalyst by adopting a hydrothermal method: putting a
metal foam carrier into a
mixed solution of
metal salt ions such as
ferric nitrate, manganous
nitrate and
cobalt nitrate, adding
ammonium fluoride and
urea, carrying out
hydrothermal reaction, repeating the
hydrothermal reaction for several times, and washing and
drying to obtain the precursor; and (2) putting the catalyst precursor into a
magnetization reactor, putting the
magnetization reactor in the center of an alternating
magnetic field coil, and carrying out magnetization treatment on the catalyst precursor in an air or
oxygen atmosphere to obtain the
spinel type catalyst rich in
oxygen vacancies. The method is simple in process and low in cost, and the obtained product is uniform in morphology and good in
repeatability and has high photo-thermal
catalytic oxidation toluene performance. Through a clean,
pollution-free and in-situ directional heating
electromagnetic induction auxiliary technology, removal of oxygen atoms on the surface of the spinel catalyst is promoted, so that rich oxygen vacancies are introduced into
cobalt-
manganese spinel, the exchange effect between the catalyst and oxygen molecules is accelerated, and the
reaction rate of
catalytic oxidation of VOCs is promoted. When the intensity of simulated
sunlight is 500 cm <-2 >, the concentration of
toluene is 1000 ppm, the air speed is 45000 mL.gcat <-1 >. H <-1 >, the conversion rate of
toluene reaches 86% or above, and high-efficiency oxidation of toluene can be realized under the driving of the simulated
sunlight.
