Description

Preparation and application of a floating photocatalyst for inhibiting
cyanobacteria in water
TECHNICAL FIELD
[01] The invention relates to the field of photocatalyst technology, in particular to the preparation method and application of a floating photocatalyst for inhibiting cyanobacteria in water.
BACKGROUND
[02] The problem of eutrophication of water has become one of the most important environmental problems in China and around the world. With the increasing degree of the eutrophication of global water, the frequency of blooms of the poisonous and harmful algae, especially the cyanobacteria, is increasing, and the environmental and economic problems caused by eutrophication are attracting more and more attention. Meanwhile, with the improvement of the quality requirement of drinking water, the algal toxin pollution caused by cyanobacteria blooms is becoming of increasing concern. Therefore, it is imperative to reduce the eutrophication degree of water body and to seek effective ways to prevent and control harmful algal blooms and algal toxin pollution.
[03] Photocatalytic technology, which can convert the light energy to chemical energy by using the semiconductor material as photocatalyst, is popular because of the advantages in environmental protection and the technological simplicity. Many researchers have applied photocatalytic technology to control algal blooms and harmful red tides, and made some progress. By using the photocatalysis technology, the algal toxin released by the dead algae can be gradually degraded into nontoxic acids and aldehyde oxides during inactivating the algae, without causing secondary pollution; and the whole treatment reaction process is simple. In addition, from the point of view of energy conservation, algae, which need photosynthesis to grow and reproduce, usually grow in the place with enough light source. This characteristic is just beneficial to the practical implementation of the photocatalytic algae removal technology. However, the conventional nano-powder photocatalysts have some defects in treating a large range of algae in water. For example, the nano-powder photocatalyst is easy to agglomerate to settle in water, leading to insufficient utilization of light, thus low efficiency. Besides, the catalyst is difficult to recover and reuse, and even causes secondary pollution.
SUMMARY
[04] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide the preparation method and application of a floating photocatalyst for inhibiting cyanobacteria in water, and the advantages of the photocatalyst presented in this invention include higher cyanobacteria removal efficiency, easy recovery and no secondary pollution.
[05] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical scheme:
[06] A floating photocatalyst for inhibiting cyanobacteria in water comprises the expanded-perlite, bismuth oxybromide nano-flowers wrapped on the outer surface of the expanded-perlite and bismuth sulfide nano-wires wound on the surface of the bismuth oxybromide nano-flowers.
[07] Preferably, the ratio of the mass of expanded perlite to the amount of substance of bismuth oxybromide nano-flowers and to the amount of substance of bismuth sulfide nano-wires is 0.5-1 g:1-3 mol:0.7 mol.

[09] Preferably, the diameter of the bismuth sulfide nano-wire is 20-50 nm, and the length of the bismuth sulfide nano-wire is 100-300 nm.
[010] Preferably, the particle size of the expanded perlite is 200-250 m, and the flotation rate of the expanded perlite is 90-98%.
[011] The invention also presents the preparation method of the photocatalyst in the above technical scheme, which comprises the following steps:
[012] Mixing bismuth nitrate and ethylene glycol monomethylether to obtain a bismuth nitrate solution;
[013] Mixing thiourea, potassium bromide, ethylene glycol monomethylether and expanded perlite to obtain a mixed feed liquor;
[014] Dripping the bismuth nitrate solution into the mixed feed liquor to obtain a suspension;
[015] And carrying out solvothermal reaction with the suspension to obtain the floating photocatalyst for inhibiting cyanobacteria in water.
[016] Preferably, the molar ratio of bismuth nitrate to thiourea and to potassium bromide is 1:1-3:0.7.
[017] Preferably, the concentration of the bismuth nitrate solution is 0.1-0.3 mol/L, and the dropping rate is 2-4 mL/min.
[018] Preferably, the temperature of the solvothermal reaction is 120-150 °C, and the time of the solvothermal reaction is 12-24 h.
[019] The invention also presents the application in inhibiting cyanobacteria of the photocatalyst in the technical scheme or prepared by the preparation method in the technical scheme.
[020] The invention presents a floating photocatalyst (EP-Bi 2S 3/BiOBr) for inhibiting cyanobacteria in water, which comprises the expanded-perlite (EP), bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) nano-flowers wrapped on the outer surface of the EP and bismuth sulfide (Bi 2 S 3 ) nano-wires wound on the surface of the bismuth oxybromide nano flowers. In the invention, BiOBr displays higher chemical stability and excellent visible light photocatalytic activity, while Bi 2 S 3 has a larger sunlight absorption coefficient and an excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency. The heterojunction formed at the interface of Bi 2 S 3 and BiOBr can improve the photocatalytic performance of the prepared photocatalyst. Due to the excellent floating capability of EP, the obtained floating photocatalyst can automatically float on water surface without stirring or under natural illumination. The utilization of light and 02 in the photocatalytic reaction are improved to the maximum extent, and greater photocatalytic efficiency is obtained. Besides, the floating catalyst without any secondary pollution is convenient for large area sprinkling and easy for intercepting and recovering, thus valuable for practical developing.

[058] Comparative Example 1
[059] The EP-Bi 2 S 3 catalyst is prepared by the method in Example 1 for preparing EP-Bi 2 S 3 without adding KBr, and the remaining steps are the same.
[060] Comparative Example 2
[061] The EP-BiOBr catalyst is prepared by the method in Example 1 for preparing EP-BiOBr without adding thiourea, and the remaining steps are the same.
[062] The XRD diffraction patterns of the EP-Bi 2 S 3 , EP-BiOBr and EP Bi2S3/BiOBr photocatalyst prepared in Example 1 are shown in Figure 1. From Figure 1, the characteristic peak of EP-Bi 2 S 3 coincides with the standard card of monoclinic Bi 2 S 3 (PDF#17-0320). The characteristic diffraction peak of EP-BiOBr is in good agreement with the standard card of tetragonal BiOBr (PDF#09-0393). The EP Bi2S3/BiOBr shows the main diffraction peak of these two components, indicating the crystal form has not changed. But the main diffraction peak is partially coincident with the diffraction peak of BiOBr because of the low content of Bi2 S 3 .
[063] The SEM patterns of the EP-Bi 2 S 3, EP-BiOBr and EP-Bi 2S 3/BiOBr photocatalyst prepared in Example 1are shown in Figure 2, where a is EP, b is EP Bi 2 S 3 , c is EP-BiOBr, and d is EP-Bi 2 S 3/BiOBr. From this figure, EP is a smooth porous material, the prepared pure EP-Bi 2 S 3 has a nano-flower-like structure consisting of nano-wires, the pure EP-BiOBr has a nano-flower-like structure consisting of nano sheets, and the composite material of EP-Bi 2S 3/BiOBr shows a feature of nano-flowers covered with and wounded by nano-wires, which indicates that Bi2 S 3 and BiOBr are fully filled. The p-n heterojunction is formed at the boundary of these two components, which hinders the recombination of electrons and holes, and improves the light absorption performance and the catalytic activity of the catalyst.
[064] The EP-Bi 2 S 3, EP-BiOBr and EP-Bi 2S 3/BiOBr photocatalyst prepared in Example 1 can remove the chlorophyll a from cyanobacteria microcystis aeruginosa under the radiation of visible light, and the comparative results are shown in Figure 3. Adding 0.2 g of the EP-Bi 2S 3/BiOBr photocatalyst prepared in Example 1 into 200 mL of microcystis aeruginosa (2.8x108 cell-L-1), and the removal rate of chlorophyll a is 70.21% after a 5 h-irradiation of simulated sunlight (Xenon lamp, 300 W, with UV filter) with a wavelength X>420 nm. In the comparative experiment, the content of chlorophyll a increases within 5 hours when the single EP-Bi 2 S 3 is used as the photocatalyst to degrade the microcystis aeruginosa, while the removal rate of chlorophyll a in 5 hours is 25.26% when the single EP-BiOBr is used. It can be seen that the results with EP-Bi 2 S 3/BiOBr photocatalyst is superior to the comparative ones.
[065] The floating performance tests of the EP-Bi 2 S 3, EP-BiOBr and EP Bi2S3/BiOBr photocatalyst prepared in Example 1 are shown in Figure 4. From Figure 4, the EP-Bi 2 S 3/BiOBr photocatalyst prepared in Example 1 still retains a floating rate of 75-85% over a period of one week. The practical algal bloom water area has a large treatment period and needs to be subjected to photocatalytic treatment for a long time. The floating photocatalyst should meet the floating effect for a certain duration.
