The invention discloses a magnetically-separable
multiplex photo-catalyst, and a preparation method and an application thereof. The preparation method is characterized in that the preparation method comprises the steps that Fe3O4 columns enter interlayers, hole channels and the surface of natural
sepiolite soil in a supporting manner with a chemical method to ensure that the natural
sepiolite soil achieves negative
magnetism; butyl
titanate is dissolved in absolute ethyl
alcohol;
anhydrous acetic acid is dropwise added and serves as a hydrolytic inhibitor; then magnetic
sepiolite is added and stirred, and reacts to form a liquid A;
distilled water is added to absolute ethyl
alcohol to form a solution; a pH value of the solution is adjusted to 2-3 with
nitric acid at a ratio of 1:1; a liquid B is obtained, then dropwise added to the liquid A slowly, and stirred quickly, reacts for 30-60min, and is subjected to standing and aging for 12-24h to form gel; the gel is washed, subjected to
magnetic separation, dried, calcined and ground, and passes through an 80-mesh
sieve; and the
multiplex photo-catalyst is obtained. The
multiplex photo-catalyst is good in adsorbability and photocatalytic activity, wide in response range of an
optical wavelength, and magnetically-separable, and can be applied to treatment of heavy
metal Cr(VI) and organic 2,4-DCP (2,4-
Dichlorophenol) coexisting degradation-resistant waste water.
