The invention also aims to provide application of the graphitized carbon loaded nano zero-valent iron material in removing organic pollutants in an environmental water sample.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the technical advantages that:
(1) the invention provides a graphitized carbon loaded nano zero-valent iron material for efficiently removing organic pollutants in an environmental water sample. The material is a nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon supported superfine zero-valent iron material, wherein the zero-valent iron has small particle size and is densely and uniformly distributed, and graphitized carbon is arranged in order, so that the zero-valent iron can be effectively protected, the corrosion of the zero-valent iron is prevented, and the stability and the durability of the material in the using process are improved.

Performance characterization
Example 1 structural characterization of the graphitized carbon-supported nano zero-valent iron material specifically includes the following steps:
TEM and SEM images
The particle size and the morphology of the nano zero-valent iron material in example 1 were analyzed by a high-resolution transmission electron microscope. As can be seen from fig. 1, in the resulting material, zero-valent iron having a particle size of about 6nm is closely and uniformly distributed in the carbon framework. Meanwhile, the crystal lattices of the graphitized carbon which are arranged in order can be obviously observed in fig. 1, and the generated graphitized carbon-supported nano zero-valent iron structure is illustrated. FIG. 2 is a scanning electron microscope picture showing that the material has a spherical or polyhedral structure.
XRD spectrum
The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the material obtained in example 1 was measured on a b/max-RB diffraction meter (Rigaku, Japan) using nickel filtered Cu Ka rays at a scanning speed of 4o/min over a scanning range (2. theta.) from 5 to 90 deg. From FIG. 3, the XRD spectrum of the material is composed of diffraction peaks of zero-valent iron (JCPDS 06-0696) and graphitized carbon (JCPDS No.26-1080), which illustrates the successful synthesis of the graphitized carbon supported nano zero-valent iron material. The particle size of the zero-valent iron nanoparticles calculated by the Scherrer formula was 6nm, consistent with the electron microscope results.
XPS spectra
The material of example 1 was scanned with a full spectrum and a narrow spectrum using an X-ray spectrometer. As shown in fig. 4, the diffraction peaks containing C1s, O1s, N1s and Fe2p on the full spectrum indicate that the graphitized carbon-supported nano zero-valent iron material is composed of C, O, N and Fe elements. The high-resolution XPS spectrum of N1s can fit graphite-N, Fe-N and pyridine-N peaks, and judges that nitrogen mainly exists in the graphitized carbon loaded nano zero-valent iron material by a chemical bond containing iron-nitrogen coordination according to the intensity of the peaks. The high resolution XPS spectrum of Fe2p showed an alpha-Fe peak, which confirmed the formation of zero-valent iron. Meanwhile, the existence of the Fe-N peak indicates that the zero-valent iron nano particles can react with nitrogen in the material at the pyrolysis temperature of 800 ℃, and the existence of the nitrogen increases the content of iron in the material, so that the active sites of the material are increased.
4. Specific surface area, mesoporous diameter and pore volume
The specific surface area, pore volume and pore diameter of the obtained graphitized carbon-supported nano zero-valent iron material were measured by a specific surface area meter (Norcross, usa). The results of the measurements shown in FIG. 5 show that: the specific surface area of the graphitized carbon-supported nano zero-valent iron material is 235.4 (m)2(iv)/g); pore volume 0.35 (cm)3(iv)/g); the pore diameter is 2.2 nm. N thereof2The adsorption-desorption curve is a typical IV-type adsorption isotherm, and a hysteresis loop shows that the material is of a mesoporous structure.
(II) test of catalytic Performance
(1) Methyl orange is selected as a mode pollutant, and the micro-electrolysis performance of the graphitized carbon loaded nano zero-valent iron material in example 1 is tested.
The test procedure was as follows: 50mL of methyl orange dye solution of 50mg/L is prepared and placed in a 100mL beaker. 25mg of the sample of the graphitized carbon-supported nano zero-valent iron material of example 1 was added, the pH of the sample was adjusted to 4, and 25MmH was added2O2. The experiment was performed on a 300rmp shaker. Taking 2ml of the solution every 15min, filtering the solution through a 0.45 mu m filter membrane, and taking the supernatant to be tested. Fig. 6 is a comparison graph of the graphitized carbon supported nano zero-valent iron material of example 1 before and after the treatment of the organic pollutant methyl orange. And washing the reacted material with ultrapure water, and continuously using the washed material in a catalytic degradation experiment after vacuum drying to test the reusability of the material. The absorbance of methyl orange in the supernatant was measured by uv spectrophotometry. The TOC of the supernatant was also measured to indicate the mineralization of the contaminants.
The measurement conditions of the ultraviolet spectrophotometer were as follows: the absorbance of the samples was measured in a quartz cuvette at a wavelength of 460 nm. Firstly, measuring the absorbance of a standard solution, drawing a standard curve, and then obtaining the content of methyl orange in a sample by using the standard curve and the absorbance of methyl orange in the sample.
The TOC measurement conditions were as follows: centrifuging the water sample, taking supernatant, taking deionized water and 0.8% HCl as mobile phases, and detecting by using a TOC/TN analyzer.
The result shows that the methyl orange is completely degraded after 160min fenton reaction of the graphitized carbon loaded nano zero-valent iron material in a pollutant solution with the pH value of 4; the degradation rate of the methyl orange solution and the mineralization degree of the methyl orange after fenton reaction after 5 times of recycling are tested by the same method.
(2) The same method as in step (1) was used to evaluate the catalytic degradation performance of the graphitized carbon-supported nano zero-valent iron materials prepared in examples 2 to 4 and the comparative materials 1 to 7 in comparative examples 1 to 7 after 5 times of recycling.
TABLE 1 catalytic degradation performance of graphitized carbon loaded nano zero-valent iron material
From the test results of examples 1 to 4, it can be known that the graphitized carbon loaded nanoscale zero-valent iron material has a good effect of removing methyl orange organic pollutants in water, has a high degree of mineralization of the pollutants, and has an obvious effect after 5 times of recycling. The graphitized carbon loaded nano zero-valent iron material has important significance for controlling relevant pollution indexes.
As illustrated by comparative example 1, grinding of raw materials using a ball milling method is essential for preparing a highly efficient graphitized carbon-supported nano zero-valent iron material. The ground material is easy to generate superfine zero-valent iron particles in the subsequent carbonization process, and carbon is reduced into graphitized carbon to be coated around the nano zero-valent iron under the high-temperature condition.
Meanwhile, as shown in comparative examples 2 to 7, the heating rate, the pyrolysis temperature, the particle size of the ball-milling medium, the raw material ratio and the selection of the grinding solvent in the preparation process all have great influence on the application effect of the graphitized carbon loaded nano zero-valent iron material.
The above detailed description is specific to one possible embodiment of the present invention, and the embodiment is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all equivalent implementations or modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention should be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
