The invention discloses a carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched magnetic silver-based catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of
wastewater treatment. Comprising the following steps: preparing magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles MNP by adopting a
coprecipitation method; the preparation method comprises the following steps: sequentially
coating the surface of MNP with SiO2 and gamma-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and synthesizing an aminated magnetic
nanoparticle FSN; the preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out blending reaction on FSN and a carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched
polymer solution, washing, separating a product by a
magnet, and
drying to obtain carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched magnetic
silicon shell particles FSNC; fSNC is dissolved in a
silver nitrate solution for reaction, then
sodium borohydride is added for
continuous reaction, washing, product separation by a
magnet and
drying are performed, and the carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched magnetic silver-based catalyst Ag / FSNC is obtained. The carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched magnetic silver-based catalyst provided by the invention can effectively catalyze reduction of p-
nitrophenol into p-aminophenol, has good magnetic responsiveness, is convenient for
recovery and reuse of the catalyst, can continue a catalytic experiment without treatment, and realizes stable recycling of the catalyst.
