The invention discloses a high-activity
carbon nitride photocatalyst, a preparation method and application of the high-activity
carbon nitride photocatalyst in photocatalytic self-Fenton degradation of pollutants in water without participation of iron circulation, and belongs to the technical field of photocatalyst preparation and
environmental water remediation. According to the invention,
urea and ethoxylated polyethyleneimine are self-assembled, and fused salt auxiliary
calcination is combined to obtain the integrated porous flaky high-activity
carbon nitride photocatalyst. The
ultraviolet absorption edge of the photocatalyst has obvious
red shift, which indicates that the light absorption range is widened; due to the existence of a strong built-in
electric field, the separation and migration efficiency of
photon-generated carriers is improved; the expanded specific surface area and abundant edge-NH2 indicate that active sites which are fully exposed exist. Finally, the
hydrogen peroxide production rate of the photocatalyst reaches 14.9 mmol.g <-1 >. H <-1 >, which is 22.2 times that of CN; the efficient degradation of various pollutants is realized by constructing a photocatalytic self-Fenton
system without participation of an iron cycle; the degradation rates of 10mg of the catalyst on 100mg L <-1 > of
tetracycline, 10mg L <-1 > of sulfametronidazole,
ofloxacin and
diclofenac sodium respectively reach 100% (10min), 93% (60min), 100% (40min) and 100% (40min). The method is simple in process, low in preparation cost and safe to operate, and the prepared carbon
nitride photocatalyst is high in activity, stable, high in universality and huge in application potential in the field of
water pollution treatment.
