Description

3D Graphene-Based Nanosized Zero-Valent Iron Material, Preparation Method
Thereof and Use Thereof
TECHNICAL FIELD
[01] The present invention relates to the field of functional composite materials, in particular to a 3D graphene-based nanosized zero-valent iron material, a preparation method thereof and a use thereof.
BACKGROUND
[02] The advanced oxidation technology is based on a series of physical and chemical interactions (including the synergistic effect of oxidant and catalyst) to generate highly active free radicals in the system, which oxidize and decompose refractory organic pollutants into small molecule substances. In contrast to the incomplete reduction technology, the advanced oxidation technology converts organic pollutants into carbon dioxide, water and inorganic substances, or into biodegradable or harmless products. The common oxidation agents mainly include Fenton reagent, potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, persulfate, percarbonate and ozone. Different from other oxidants, persulfate reveals relatively stable properties at room temperature, and is highly operable in the process of pollution remediation. The sulfate radical generated by the activation technology reveals high redox potential, and thus can oxidize and degrade refractory organic matter at wide pH range.
[03] Iron materials represented by zero-valent iron have been used in industrial water treatment or groundwater remediation as important persulfate activation technology due to their characteristics of environmental friendliness, low price, strong oxidation effect and wide range of applications. Among them, the nanosized zero-valent iron has an improved activation effect because of its larger specific surface area, which can make oxidation reaction more efficient. However, the zero-valent iron will passivate on its surface during the catalytic process, reducing the reaction rate, and how to improve the utilization of iron has become one of the main trends of current research. Moreover, the nano-catalysts, especially nanosized zero-valent iron, tend to aggregate and settle in the environment due to their high surface activity and magnetic properties, which reduce their reactivity.
[04] In response to the above problems, some solutions have been proposed by scholars at home and abroad. The nanosized zero-valent iron is mainly immobilized on activated carbon, biochar, silica, bentonite and organic polymer carriers with large specific surface area, strong mechanical properties, adsorption properties and thermal stability to make a loaded nanosized zero-valent iron, which can effectively prevent the agglomeration of nanoparticles and thus improve the reaction activity.
[05] Carbon-based materials can be a good choice for zero-valent iron carriers due to their unique properties. Graphene is a new type of carbon allotrope with two dimensional structure, which is a planar structure with hexagonal honeycomb lattice formed by a single layer of carbon atoms hybridized by sp2 electron orbit and closely stacked, and with great theoretical specific surface area, making graphene a good adsorption material or catalyst carrier. New property is explored from graphene during its functionalization with inorganic materials. The magnetic iron material modified graphene is used to treat pollutants as the most important material, which can remove pollutants efficiently and quickly, and allow them to be recycled by the magnetic separation method. However, in the actual preparation and application process, 7-n stacking interactions and van der Waals forces between two-dimensional graphene sheets always tend to form irreversible agglomerates, resulting in poor dispersion of graphene in the polymer matrix, which greatly limits its intrinsic properties and application potential. Therefore, three-dimensional (3D) porous graphene-based materials (e.g., aerogel and hydrogel) and their preparation methods have been studied and reported successively, and their unique 3D porous-like structure provides high diffusion rate and adsorption rate of pollutants.
[06] The preparation method of graphene/iron-based composites and their use in advanced oxidation technology have been reported. For example, Zhang Yagang et al. invented a graphene/iron-based magnetic composite for activation of hydrogen peroxide for phenol oxidation and removal (preparation method of graphene-loaded magnetic iron-based non-homogeneous Fenton-like catalyst and use thereof [P]. Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region: CN106669677A, 2017-05-17). Yang Chunping et al. invented a method for atrazine removal from water through activation of persulfate with nanosized zero-valent iron/graphene complex (method for atrazine removal from water through activation of persulfate with nanosized zero-valent iron/graphene complex [P]. Hunan Province: CN108176400A, 2018-06-19), comprising the steps of: uniformly mixing persulfate and wastewater containing atrazine, adjusting the pH of the solution to 3-9, adding nanosized zero-valent iron/graphene complex, between which the interaction produces strongly oxidizing sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals to oxidize and remove atrazine from the aqueous body.
[07] The above two patents have solved the problems that the traditional Fenton catalyst is difficult to recover and produces a large amount of chemical sludge, thus avoiding secondary pollution, and providing a way of thinking for the development of iron-based catalysts suitable for advanced oxidation technology. However, the graphene in the above patents has a two-dimensional structure, which has not solved the problem of its poor dispersion in the matrix of composite materials, and the stability and pH application range of composite materials need to be improved. In addition, the spatial structure of graphene/iron-based composites, the uniformity of distribution and loading of iron-based particulate matter will directly affect the ability of oxidants such as persulfate to remove pollutants.
[08] Graphene oxide (GO) has become a suitable precursor for preparing 3D graphene components by virtue of its high dispersibility in aqueous medium and its functionality, and also provides a carrier with high specific area, high stability and strong conductivity for zero-valent iron and iron oxides. For example, Zhang Hui et al. invented a preparation method of reduced graphene oxide/ferroferric oxide composite hydrogel based on a liquid phase reduction method of ascorbic acid (preparation method of reduced graphene oxide/ferroferric oxide composite wave-absorbing hydrogel with 3D structure [P]. Anhui Province: CN103450843A, 2013-12-18), in which the content of ferroferric oxide was 10%-40%. Chen Wenjin et al. invented a preparation method of a recyclable, 3D graphene macrobody supported nanosized zero-valent iron composite based on an impregnation method combined with a liquid-phase reduction method (3D graphene macrobody supported nanosized zero-valent iron composite and preparation method thereof [P]. Sichuan Province: CN109173989A, 2019-01-11), in which the loading of nanosized zero-valent iron was 10%-30%. Ge Hongshan et al. invented a preparation method of reduced graphene oxide/nanosized ferroferric oxide composite magnetic material by a water/ethylene glycol co-pyrolysis method (preparation method of reduced graphene oxide/nanosized ferroferric oxide composite magnetic adsorbent [P]. Jiangsu Province: CN107081128A, 2017-08-22), in which the material has excellent adsorption performance and magnetism, and is convenient to recycle.
[09] However, the maximum loading of iron-based materials in graphene-based composites prepared by the above patents is only 30%-40% by weight, and there is still much room for improvement. Meanwhile, the application of 3D graphene/iron-based composites in advanced oxidation technology has not been reported. The above defects and shortcomings seriously hinder the application of graphene/zero-valent iron composites in advanced oxidation and need to be addressed urgently.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[050] The present invention may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and the examples included herein. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. In the event of a conflict, the definitions in this specification shall prevail. For example, the term "prepared from" as used herein is synonymous with "comprising". The terms "comprising" "including" "having" "containing" or any other variation thereof, as used herein, are intended to cover non exclusive inclusion, such that a composition, step, method, article or device that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, step, method, article or device.
[051] The conjunction "consisting of..." excludes any unspecified element, step or component. If used in a claim, this phrase will make the claim closed so that it does not include materials other than those described, except for conventional impurities associated therewith. When this phrase appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, it limits only the element set forth in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.
[052] When an equivalent, concentration, or other value or parameter is given as either a range, preferred range, or a list of upper preferable values and lower preferable values, this is to be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed from any pair of any upper range limit or preferred value and any lower range limit or preferred value, regardless of whether ranges are separately disclosed. For example, when the range "1 to 5" is disclosed, the described range should be interpreted to include the ranges "1 to 4", "1 to 3", "1 to 2", "1 to 2 and4 to 5", "1 to 3 and 5", etc. Where arange of numerical values is recited herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include the endpoints thereof, and all integers and fractions within the range.
[053] The singular form includes the plural object of discussion, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. "Optional" or "any one" means that the matter or event described thereafter may or may not occur, and that the description includes both the circumstances in which the event occurs and the circumstances in which it does not occur.
[054] The approximate terms in the specification and claims are used to modify the quantity, indicating that the present invention is not limited to that specific quantity, but also includes a portion of the modification that is close to that quantity that is acceptable and does not result in a change in the underlying functionality. Accordingly, modifying a numerical value with "approximately", "about", etc. means that the present invention is not limited to that precise value. In some examples, the approximate term may correspond to the precision of the instrument measuring the value. In the specification and claims of this application, the range limitations may be combined and/or interchanged, unless otherwise stated, these ranges include all sub-ranges contained therein.
[055] Furthermore, the indefinite articles "a" and "an" before the elements or components of the present invention are not restrictive as to the number of elements or components required (i.e., the number of occurrences). Thus, "a" and "an" should be read as including one or at least one, and elements or components in the singular form also include the plural form, unless the number stated is clearly intended to refer to the singular form.
[056] Example 1
[057] Mix 2 g of graphite powder and 1 g of NaNO3, add 46 mL of concentrated H2SO4 and place in an ice bath. Add 6 g of KMnO4 while rapidly stirring to obtain a mixture C. KMnO4 must be added to the reaction solution slowly to prevent the temperature of the reaction system from increasing sharply, while the reaction solution was controlled below 20 °C. After 2 h of reaction, transfer the mixture C to a warm water bath at 35 °C for 40 min. Then, add 92 mL of deionized water while stirring. The reaction solution was controlled at about 98 °C. Continue stirring for 30 min, dilute with 440 mL of deionized water, and slowly add a certain amount of H202 for a high temperature reaction. The reaction solution turned golden yellow (10- 50mL of general hydrogen peroxide) to obtain a mixture D. Considering that unreacted concentrated sulfuric acid could generate a lot of heat at the presence of water, deionized water must be slowly added for twice. The reaction solution was 98 °C and could not exceed 100 °C, and the reaction was carried out in an oil bath. The resulting solution, i.e., mixture D, was centrifugally washed with 5% HCl for many times in a centrifuge until no white precipitate was detected by BaCl2. Then, the sample was freeze-dried for 24 h to obtain graphene oxide.
[058] Ultrasonically separate graphene oxide solution (1 g/300 mL) for 1 h, and add sodium borohydride powder (10 g) to obtain a mixture E. Ultrasonicate the mixture E for 1 h, heat in a 95 °C water bath for1 h, and wash with deionized water. Filter and freeze-dry for 24 h to obtain the 3D graphene aerogel.
[059] Place 1g/300mL of 3D graphene solution in a three-neck flask, fill with nitrogen, add 15g of FeSO4 -7H20 (the mass ratio of 3D graphene to iron was 1:3) to the 3D graphene aerogel solution while stirring for 12 h to obtain a mixed solution A. Then place the mixed solution A at room temperature and add 7.9g/5OmL of NaBH4. Allowing to react for 30 min to obtain a product B. Wash the product B three times with anhydrous ethanol and then freeze-dry for 24 h to obtain 3D graphene-based nanosized zero-valent iron materials. Finally, seal and store in nitrogen atmosphere. The product B can be washed by anhydrous ethanol only instead of deionized water in the washing step; otherwise the nanosized zero-valent iron will be oxidized and affect the performance of the final product.
[060] The scanning electron micrographs of the 3D graphene aerogel and the 3D graphene-based nanosized zero-valent iron materials prepared in this example are shown in Figs. 1-2, and the iron content of the prepared materials was 52.77% as determined by inductively coupled atomic emission spectrometry.
[061] Example 2
[062] Mix 2g of graphite powder and Ig of NaNO3, add 46 mL of concentrated H2SO4, and place in an ice bath. Add 8 g of KMnO4 while rapidly stirring to obtain a mixture C. KMnO4 must be added to the reaction solution slowly to prevent the temperature of the reaction system from increasing sharply, while the reaction solution was controlled below 20 °C. After 2 h of reaction, transfer the mixture C to a warm water bath at 35 °C for 45 min. Then, add 92 mL of deionized water while stirring. The reaction solution was controlled at about 98 °C. Continue stirring for 35 min, dilute with 440 mL of deionized water, and slowly add a certain amount of H202 for a high temperature reaction. The reaction solution turned golden yellow to obtain a mixture D. Considering that unreacted concentrated sulfuric acid could generate a lot of heat at the presence of water, deionized water must be slowly added for twice. The reaction solution was 98 °C and could not exceed 100 °C, and the reaction was carried out in an oil bath. The resulting solution, i.e., mixture D, was centrifugally washed with 5% HCl for many times in a centrifuge until no white precipitate was detected by BaC2. Then, the sample was freeze-dried for 30 h to obtain graphene oxide.
[063] Ultrasonically separate graphene oxide solution (1g/300mL) for 1.5 h, and add ascorbic acid powder (20 g) to obtain a mixture E. Ultrasonicate the mixture E for 1.5 h, heat in a 95 °C water bath for1 h, and wash with deionized water. Filter and freeze-dry for 30 h to obtain the 3D graphene aerogel.
[064] Place 1g/300mL of 3D graphene solution in a three-neck flask, fill with nitrogen, add 15g of FeSO4 -7H20 (the mass ratio of 3D graphene to iron was 1:8) to the 3D graphene aerogel solution while stirring for 14 h to obtain a mixed solution A. Then place the mixed solution A at room temperature and add 8.5g/5OmL of NaBH4. Allowing to react for 35 min to obtain a product B. Wash the product B four times with anhydrous ethanol and then freeze-dry for 30 h to obtain 3D graphene-based nanosized zero-valent iron materials. Finally, seal and store in nitrogen atmosphere.
[065] Example 3
[066] To a 40 mL EPA bottle, add 6 mg of 3D graphene-based nanosized zero valent iron material (the mass ratio of 3D graphene to iron was 1:3, and the same mass of nanosized zero-valent iron was used as the control). Then, add an appropriate amount of distilled water, followed by 40 L of phorate having a concentration of 10,000 ppm, and finally 62 L of sodium persulfate solution having a concentration of 800mM, so that the molar ratio of iron to the 3D graphene-based nanosized zero-valent iron material is 1:1. Immediately react in a shaking table, with the oscillation frequency of 150 rpm/min. Take 0.5 mL of each sample in a 2 mL centrifuge tube at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10 min after the reaction started, and add 1 mL of hexane immediately for extraction (30 min in the shaking table), followed by 0.7 mL in the injection vial for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

When the reaction time was 10 min, the reaction of nanosized zero-valent iron also basically reached equilibrium (88.96%), and the removal rate was also lower than that of 3D graphene-based nanosized zero-valent iron material (99.99%).
