The invention belongs to the technical field of synthesis of environmental materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a double-reaction-channel photocatalyst and selective reduction of Cr by using the same6+And the application of simultaneous photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline.
Background
Nowadays, environmental pollution is a topic which people find out to be hot, and is a difficult problem which people in various societies need to solve urgently, and it is a common goal of people to successfully research and widely use an environment-friendly, economical and efficient method to solve the problem of environmental pollution. As is well known, the pollutants in water environment are various and complex, and in recent years, human health problems and environmental problems caused by the overproof antibiotics and heavy metal ions remained in water are frequently reported. Tetracycline is a common antibiotic and is widely used in daily life of people, however, the abuse of tetracycline not only causes a large amount of residual pollutants to be discharged into water bodies, resulting in negative effects on the water environment, but also inhibits many water treatment progresses. Moreover, hexavalent chromium ions are considered to be one of the most toxic heavy metal ions, and have the characteristic of being biodegradable, so that the conventional sewage treatment process cannot efficiently remove the hexavalent chromium ions, and thus the hexavalent chromium ions are very easy to enter human bodies, and cause serious harm. The toxicity of the reduced chromium ions is far less than that of hexavalent chromium ions, so that the selective reduction of the hexavalent chromium ions and the simultaneous degradation of tetracycline have very important research significance in consideration of the environmental pollution and the harm of tetracycline and hexavalent chromium to human bodies. Therefore, it is challenging and innovative to design a material that can simultaneously selectively reduce hexavalent chromium ions and degrade tetracycline in water.
The photocatalytic technology is considered to be an effective environmental protection solution due to the advantages of energy conservation, environmental protection, low cost and the like. The photocatalytic degradation method oxidizes antibiotics into substances with low biological toxicity and easy biodegradation, and even converts the antibiotics into harmless compounds, and the degradation range and the effect of the photocatalytic degradation method are superior to those of a common sewage treatment process to a certain extent. The photocatalytic reduction method can reduce high-valence and high-toxicity metal ions into low-valence and low-toxicity ions, and can effectively control the high-valence and high-toxicity ions in the aspect of toxicity. The existing photocatalysts designed in the field of photocatalysis are various in types, but the defects of poor photocatalytic effect, poor light stability, short photoresponse interval, easy recombination of photoproduction electron holes and the like are difficult to avoid.
On the other hand, in order to selectively reduce hexavalent chromium ions, it is first necessary to achieve selective adsorption of the hexavalent chromium ions among numerous ions at high concentration, thereby introducing an ion imprinting technique. The ion imprinting technique is an extension of the molecular imprinting technique, which is a technique for generating recognition sites in a macromolecular matrix using template ions, in which a large number of imprinted cavities designed for the template ions are uniformly distributed, the cavities corresponding to the shape, size and functional groups of the template ions. Therefore, the ion imprinted polymer has a specific ion recognition ability and a high binding affinity for the template ion.
In the last years, researches on photocatalysts as selective adsorbents for treating organic pollutants and heavy metal ions in water and ion imprinted polymers as template ions have attracted wide attention, and the simultaneous realization of degradation of organic matters and reduction of heavy metal ions by utilizing a photocatalytic mechanism has great significance, however, researches on the effective combination of photocatalysis and ion imprinted technologies for treating various pollutants and reducing heavy metals in complex water environments are rarely reported. Furthermore, to our knowledge, the realization of selective reduction of heavy metal ions and simultaneous degradation of antibiotic residues based on dual reaction channels combined with photocatalytic and ion imprinting techniques is unprecedented.

Fig. 1 shows XRD spectra of different samples, from which it can be seen that: ZnFe2O4Are located at 29.91 °,35.23 °,42.81 °,53.10 °,56.60 ° and 62.14 °, respectively, which correspond to ZnFe, respectively2O4The (220), (311), (400), (422), (511) and (440) crystal planes of (a). Further comparison of carboxylated ZnFe2O4And the XRD spectrogram of the double-reaction-channel photocatalyst can find that no redundant peak is increased or reduced, which indicates that the ion imprinting layer is successfully coated on ZnFe2O4Surface, and does not change the crystal form of the raw material.
FIG. 2 is a FT-IR spectrum of various samples, from which it can be seen that: carboxylated ZnFe2O4Compared with ZnFe2O4The peak of-COOH was increased, indicating that the surface was successfully grafted with carboxyl groups. As can be seen by comparing the dual reaction channel photocatalyst, the peak thereof not only contains ZnFe2O4Further analysis of the characteristic peaks revealed that C-O, C ═ C and C-N, indicating the presence of EGDMA and 4-vinylpyridine, further confirmed the presence of the ion imprinted layer, indicating that the dual reaction channel photocatalyst has been successfully synthesized.
FIG. 3 is an SEM spectrum (a), a TEM spectrum (b), an HR-TEM spectrum (c) and an SAED spectrum (d) of the dual reaction channel photocatalyst, from which it can be seen that: the double reaction channel photocatalyst is prepared uniformly, the particle size is about 370nm, HR-TEM picture shows that the surface of the double reaction channel photocatalyst is coated by an organic layer, and the crystal comparison can be carried out by SAED, which proves that ZnFe2O4Again, this indicates that the dual reaction channel photocatalyst has been successfully synthesized.
FIG. 4 is a nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherm of different samples, and it can be seen from the graph that the dual reaction channel photocatalyst has the largest specific surface area, and benefits from a large number of mesoporous channels and imprinted pores on the surface, and in addition, the average pore diameter is smaller than that of ZnFe2O4And a non-mesoporous non-imprinted photocatalyst, which again proves the existence of mesoporous channels and imprinted pores.
Fig. 5 is magnetization curves of different samples, and it can be seen that the dual-reaction-channel photocatalyst still has good magnetic saturation strength after being coated with the imprinting layer, and the magnetic saturation strength value is 49.27emu/g, which indicates that the dual-reaction-channel photocatalyst has good magnetic separation characteristics.
In FIG. 6, a shows a state in which the photocatalyst of the present invention is naturally dispersed in water, and b shows a state after magnetic attraction.

In addition, it can be seen that the reduction effect of the double reaction channel photocatalyst on hexavalent chromium ions is obviously better than that of silver ions. As can be seen from the comparison, the imprinted pores of hexavalent chromium ions on the surface of the dual reaction channel photocatalyst represent specific recognition of hexavalent chromium ions, so that hexavalent chromium ions can be selectively adsorbed in the mixed solution and reduced to trivalent chromium ions. While other materials do not exhibit the same properties.
Fig. 9 is a stability investigation of the dual reaction channel photocatalyst, and it can be seen from the figure that, five times of experiments of photodegrading tetracycline and selectively reducing hexavalent chromium ions are performed respectively, neither the degradation rate nor the reduction rate is greatly reduced, which indicates that the dual reaction channel photocatalyst has better stability and can be recycled for multiple times.
