The invention relates to the technical field of
coal mine
wastewater treatment, in particular to a photocatalyst for open pit
coal mine drainage
water treatment and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that bivalent iron salt and trivalent iron salt are dissolved in deoxidized deionized water, a mixed
salt solution is obtained, under
inert gas and mechanical stirring, the mixed
salt solution is dropwise added into an excessive
ammonia water solution, stirring is conducted, and the photocatalyst is obtained; carrying out
precipitation reaction to obtain superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nano
powder; the preparation method comprises the following steps: dispersing superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nano
powder into a mixed
solvent of absolute ethyl
alcohol and water to obtain a magnetic fluid, slowly dropwise adding tetraethoxysilane and
ammonia water into the magnetic fluid under mechanical stirring and ultrasonic treatment, and carrying out
catalytic hydrolysis reaction to obtain Fe3O4 coated SiO2 microspheres; slowly dropwise adding a suspension of a
titanium source into the suspension of the Fe3O4 (at) SiO2 microspheres under vigorous stirring to obtain a mixed suspension, and performing hydrothermal
crystallization on the mixed suspension to obtain Fe3O4 (at) SiO2 (at) N-TiO2 microspheres; and under stirring, sequentially dropwise adding a dilute
nitric acid solution of
bismuth salt and an
aqueous solution of a
bromine source into the suspension of the Fe3O4 (at) SiO2 (at) N-TiO2 microspheres, and carrying out an in-situ reaction to obtain the Fe3O4 (at) SiO2 (at) N-TiO2 / BiOBr photocatalyst.
