Description

Preparation method of catalyst for photocatalytic extraction of uranium in seawater
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photocatalysis seawater uranium extraction, in particular to a preparation method of a catalyst for photocatalysis uranium extraction in seawater.
Background
Currently, almost 16% of the world's electrical energy is produced by 441 nuclear reactors, while more than 40% of 9 countries' energy production comes from nuclear energy. The nuclear energy has the advantages of cleanness, no pollution, high energy density, low comprehensive cost and the like, and the nuclear energy power generation can not generate carbon dioxide which aggravates the global warming effect. Therefore, nuclear energy is considered as the most promising future sustainable energy source for humans, and is receiving wide attention both at home and abroad. The energy structure adjustment force is also being increased in China, and clean excellent energy sources such as nuclear power, wind power, hydropower and the like are actively developed. As the primary high energy fuel for the reactor, 1 kg of uranium is available with energy equivalent to 2050 tons of premium coal burned. Therefore, the development and safe supply of uranium is critical for the long-term sustainable development of nuclear energy. However, the uranium reserves on land are not abundant and are extremely uneven in distribution, only few countries have limited uranium ores, only 100 ten thousand tons of the uranium ores have industrial exploitation value, the total amount of the low-grade uranium ores and uranium compounds which are byproducts of the low-grade uranium ores is not more than 500 ten thousand tons, and according to the current consumption speed, only 80-120 years of human use can be maintained, so that the future nuclear energy development requirement is difficult to meet.
Ocean is the biggest uranium resource treasury in the world, and total reserve is up to 45 hundred million tons, is nearly 1000 times of the established land uranium reserve, and provides huge potential fuel sources for nuclear energy development. If the uranium in the seawater can be completely extracted, the contained fission energy can ensure the energy requirement of a human for tens of thousands of years. Although various techniques for extracting uranium from seawater have been attempted, such as ion exchange, extraction, membrane separation, chemical reduction, adsorption, coprecipitation, bubble separation, and algal concentration, the concentration of uranium in seawater is low (1000 tons of seawater contains only 3 g of uranium), and weakly alkaline (HCO) 3 The concentration of the water can reach up to 2.75 mM), the salinity is high, the components are complex, and the like, so that the traditional seawater uranium extraction technology still faces a plurality of challenges and difficulties in practical application. Therefore, the development of a novel and efficient technique for extracting uranium from seawater is particularly important and imperative.
The photocatalysis technology can directly utilize endless sunlight, has lower cost, higher energy efficiency and wider applicability, is expected to efficiently extract uranium in seawater, and is used for desalting seawater, extracting uranium and co-producing a photothermal photocatalysis membrane, a preparation method thereof (CN 114931862B) and high-dispersivity C 3 N 4 Composite material for extracting uranium from sea water and preparation method thereof (CN 115228500A), preparation method of sea water extracted uranium amidoxime group cyclized polyacrylonitrile material (CN 202210754446.8), sea water desalination-extracted uranium co-production semiconductor photoreduction membrane and preparation method thereof (CN 202210598986.1), preparation of ethylenediamine coated cadmium telluride nano-belt photocatalyst, separation method of uranium in radioactive wastewater (CN 202110245812), photocatalytic uranium capturing two-dimensional flaky semiconductor and preparation method thereof (CN 202210754425), preparation and application of Ag doped CdSe nano-sheet photocatalytic material for uranium reduction separationThe preparation and application of mesoporous titania photocatalyst for photocatalytic reduction of uranium (CN 202110775914) and the like are related to the content.
The photocatalyst is a core and key for separating enriched uranium from seawater by utilizing a photocatalysis technology. Compared with a plurality of photocatalysts, the graphite phase carbon nitride is a nonmetallic catalytic material, has the advantages of high stability, simple and convenient synthesis, low cost and the like, and becomes an excellent choice of uranium catalytic extraction catalysts. However, the carbonate (hydrogen) in seawater is prone to complex with U (VI) to form a negatively charged monodentate or bidentate complex, resulting in lower affinity with the catalyst and lower reduction potential of the resulting complex, making it difficult to be directly catalytically reduced. Thus, the efficient photocatalytic reduction of U (VI) is severely hampered by the presence of bicarbonate in the seawater. Furthermore, the photocatalytic reduction system of U (VI) needs to introduce methanol as a sacrificial agent or to be carried out in an inert atmosphere (to eliminate the adverse effect of excessive dissolved oxygen on reduction), which not only increases the uranium extraction cost and technical difficulty, but also can cause secondary chemical pollution. Therefore, how to effectively reduce U (VI) to U (IV) in an open environment, containing a carbon (hydrogen) radical system, without the aid of a sacrificial agent remains a great challenge, and development of a novel efficient photocatalyst or photocatalytic reduction technology is urgently needed to promote application of the photocatalytic method in uranium extraction from seawater.

Characterization of carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide and evaluation of photocatalytic reduction U (VI) performance
Composition and functional group analysis:
FIG. 1 is an XRD pattern for carbon nitride, carboxylated carbon nitride and carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide. From the XRD pattern of the carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material, it is evident that the characteristic diffraction peaks (2θ=24.4 °, 26.1 °, 27.8 °, 43.5 °, 47.4 ° and 51.6 °) of carbon nitride (2θ=13.1° and 27.5 °) and cadmium sulfide, confirm that the cadmium sulfide particles were successfully loaded on the carboxylated carbon nitride surface to form the composite material. Wherein the strong diffraction peak at 13.1 ° corresponds to the (100) crystal plane of carbon nitride; the carboxylated carbon nitride had a reduced peak intensity of the (100) crystal plane, indicating that the in-plane stacking structure of the 3-s-triazine units was destroyed. As can be seen from the FT-IR spectrum of the above sample (FIG. 2), carboxylated carbon nitride and carbon nitride are respectively 809, 1634, 1572, 1463 and 1411cm −1 And the like, a distinct characteristic absorption peak appears. Compared with carbon nitride, 3000-3500 cm of carboxylated carbon nitride −1 The absorption at this point is attributable to the higher intensity of the broad absorption peak of the hydroxyl (-OH and-COOH) functional groups, indicating that the surface of the carbon nitride forms carboxyl groups upon strong oxidation by nitric acid. From the O1s spectrum, it was found that the carboxylated carbon nitride showed a new peak of o—c=o at a binding energy of 532.0eV, which also confirmed the formation of carboxyl groups. The carboxyl content in the sample is determined by titration, and the result shows that the carbon nitride and the carboxylated nitrogenThe amount of carboxyl groups measured on the carbon black was 0.205mmol/g and 1.243 to 1.735mmol/g, respectively. Together, the above results confirm that the carboxyl groups were successfully modified on the surface of carbon nitride.
Specific surface area and microtopography analysis:
as is clear from Table 1, the specific surface areas of the carbon nitride and carboxylated carbon nitride were 13.26 and 39.76 to 40.35m, respectively 2 Per gram, the total pore volume is 0.07 and 0.14-0.15 cm respectively 3 And/g, the average pore diameters are respectively 20.81 and 13.35-13.57 nm. Compared with the original carbon nitride material, the carboxylated carbon nitride material has obviously improved specific surface area and pore volume, and is beneficial to improving the light utilization efficiency and light absorption capacity. From the microscopic morphology analysis, it can be seen (fig. 3) that, unlike the stacking of the large lamellar structure of carbon nitride, the small lamellar layers in the carboxylated carbon nitride material obtained by acid etching are stacked or aggregated with each other, resulting in smaller pore diameter and larger pore volume, which is also beneficial for the distribution of cadmium sulfide nano-spherical particles on the surface of the carboxylated carbon nitride lamellar layers. As shown in fig. 4, the sharp lattice fringes in TEM and the specific lattice spacing (0.338 and 0.354 nm) substantially coincide with the cadmium sulfide crystal planes, further confirming successful coupling of carboxylated carbon nitride to cadmium sulfide and formation of heterostructures.

as can be seen from the ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum chart (left of FIG. 5), compared with carbon nitride, carboxylated carbon nitride has higher absorbance in the wavelength range of 200-420 nm, which indicates that the carboxylated carbon nitride has better absorbance in the ultraviolet region. As is apparent from the transient photocurrent response curve (right side of fig. 5) of the carboxylated carbon nitride and carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material, the coupling of cadmium sulfide significantly improves the photocurrent intensity thereof; and the intrinsic fluorescence lifetime of the composite material is longer (about 38.34 ns), and the composite material has higher transmission rate of photogenerated carriers. From the transient fluorescence spectrum analysis of the material, the PL intensity of carbon nitride is highest, while the PL intensity of carboxylated carbon nitride-24 is lowest, and it is confirmed that carboxyl-modified carbon nitride can contribute to the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes.
The electrochemical impedance spectrum further reflects that the carboxyl modified carbon nitride is beneficial to the effective separation of charges, and the interfacial charge transfer is further accelerated. From the flat band potential (E of the material in Table 2 fb ) The data show that the flat band potential of the carbon nitride is higher than that of the carboxyl carbon nitride material, and the negative shift of the flat band potential shows that the carboxyl carbon nitride has higher conductivity and higher electron donor density, has stronger reducing capability after illumination, and is beneficial to improving the photocatalytic reduction performance of the carboxyl carbon nitride on U (VI).
TABLE 2 flatband potential, level differences and band gap values for carbon nitride, carboxylated carbon nitride and carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide
The energy level difference of the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) of the carboxyl modification to the carbon nitride structure is calculated by adopting the density functional theory, and as-C (identical to N) and-COOH in carboxylated carbon nitride are electron withdrawing groups, the band gap can be reduced along with the introduction of carboxyl, and the narrower band gap is reduced, so that the carboxylated carbon nitride is easier to capture more photons to reduce U (VI).
Based on the analysis of the results, the carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material is of a typical II-type energy band arrangement structure, and compared with carbon nitride, the carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material heterostructure enlarges the light absorption range and obviously reduces the band gap energy band, so that the carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material is beneficial to capturing more photons for the photocatalytic reduction reaction of U (VI).
In summary, compared with carbon nitride, the carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material has the characteristics of stronger U (VI) adsorption affinity, higher light absorption capacity, narrower band gap, higher carrier separation capacity, longer carrier service life and the like, which are all helpful for enhancing the photocatalytic reduction activity of U (VI).
Photocatalytic reduction performance analysis and practical application performance evaluation:
as proved by the batch adsorption test result of U (VI), the adsorption rate of carbon nitride to U (VI) is 12% in the presence of 2.0 mM carbonate (hydrogen), and the adsorption rates of carboxylated carbon nitride-6 and carboxylated carbon nitride-24 to U (VI) are 1.5 and 3.2 times, which show that the introduction of carboxyl greatly improves the affinity of U (VI) on the surface of the catalyst. Further comparing the photocatalytic reduction removal efficiency of the carbon nitride and carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material on U (VI) (left in fig. 6), it is known that since the e-and h+ photo-generated carbon nitride are easy to rapidly recombine, the photocatalytic activity is lower, methanol is required to be added as an electron donor to improve the photocatalytic efficiency, but even if methanol is added, only about 70% of U (VI) can be removed by photocatalysis within 40min, and after the carboxylated carbon nitride and cadmium sulfide are compounded, the photocatalytic reduction efficiency of U (VI) is greatly improved, U (VI) can be completely removed within 6min, and the photocatalytic reduction efficiency is higher. As can be seen from comparison of the photocatalytic reduction reaction rate constants (right of FIG. 6 and Table 3) of the carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material, the photocatalytic reduction rates of U (VI) by carboxylated carbon nitride-6/cadmium sulfide-10, carboxylated carbon nitride-24/cadmium sulfide-10 and carboxylated carbon nitride-24/cadmium sulfide-30 are 0.1285, 0.2788 and 0.6435 min, respectively −1 The reaction rate is far higher than that of the carbon nitride material (0.0107 min −1 And methanol as an electron donor), this demonstrates that carboxylation and the introduction of cadmium sulfide greatly improve the photoactivity of the composite and the photocatalytic reduction rate to U (VI), again without any electron donor involved in the reaction.

After the photocatalytic reaction is finished, the reaction product powder is collected and dispersed in pure water, and after the reaction product powder is continuously stirred in the air for 24 hours, about 60 percent of uranium precipitate can be released again. Then, 0 is added to the mixture.1M Na 2 CO 3 The solution is vibrated for 60min, and uranium can be completely eluted and recovered. Therefore, the whole elution process is simple, efficient and pollution-free. In particular, the carboxylated carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite material after uranium elution can be recycled for a plurality of times, and after the composite material is subjected to recycling for 3 times, the photocatalytic reduction efficiency of U (VI) of the composite material is still maintained to be more than 99.5% (see figure 7), and the composite material has excellent recycling performance and economy. The carboxyl carbon nitride/cadmium sulfide composite photocatalyst does not release Cd in the photocatalytic reduction process of U (VI) 2+ Therefore, the composite catalyst is used for extracting uranium from seawater, is an efficient, green and economic uranium separation and recovery technology, and has important practical significance for extracting uranium from seawater.
