In the examples of the present invention and the comparative examples, chemical reagents not specifically described were all tested using commercially available analytical techniques. The examples of the present invention and comparative examples used macadamia shells produced from the lincang of Yunnan.
Example 1
In this example, activated carbon was prepared by the following steps:

In this example, a composite antimicrobial agent was prepared by the following steps:
S1: 0.24g of NiCl 2·6H2 O is weighed and dissolved in 25ml of ethanol to form a green transparent solution, 1.46g of sodium acetate is weighed and dissolved in 10ml of distilled water, and 0.59g of trisodium citrate is weighed and dissolved in 15ml of distilled water;

An SEM image of the Activated Carbon (AC) prepared in this example is shown in fig. 1 (a). The BET and BJH pore size distribution plots for AC are shown in FIG. 2. In the obtained composite antibacterial agent, nickel oxide has a nanoparticle morphology, as shown in fig. 3 (a).
As can be seen from FIG. 1 (a), the ZnCl 2 activated AC has a larger pore-like structure, the AC surface is smoother, and the ZnCl 2 activated regulation pore-forming effect is not obvious, but the effect on deep hole formation is obvious.
As can be seen from FIG. 2 (a), the adsorption isotherm of ZnCl 2 activator is I-type, and has no obvious hysteresis loop, which shows that the activated carbon prepared in the embodiment contains higher micropore structure.
Example 2
This example uses the same method as in example 1 to prepare a composite antimicrobial agent, except that: in this example, the activator was KOH and the activator concentration was 50%.
An SEM image of the Activated Carbon (AC) prepared in this example is shown in fig. 1 (b). The BET and BJH pore size distribution plots for AC are shown in FIG. 2. In the obtained composite antibacterial agent, nickel oxide has a nanoparticle morphology, as shown in fig. 3 (a).
As can be seen from FIG. 1 (b), the KOH-activated AC has relatively dense pores and a uniform distribution.
As can be seen from fig. 2 (a), the adsorption isotherm of KOH as an activator is type I, and there is no obvious hysteresis loop, indicating that the activated carbon contains a higher microporous structure.
Example 3
This example uses the same method as in example 1 to prepare a composite antimicrobial agent, except that: in this example, the activator was H 3PO4 and the activator concentration was 35%.
An SEM image of the Activated Carbon (AC) prepared in this example is shown in fig. 1 (c). The BET and BJH pore size distribution plots for AC are shown in FIG. 2. In the obtained composite antibacterial agent, nickel oxide has a nanoparticle morphology, as shown in fig. 3 (a). SEM and EDS images of the AC-NiO/Bi composite antibacterial agent prepared in this example are shown in FIG. 6. The XPS diagram is shown in FIG. 7. The EPR spectrum is shown in FIG. 8. The result of the diffuse reflection of ultraviolet is shown in fig. 9. The antibacterial effect against E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus is shown in FIG. 10. The cyclic antibacterial effect is shown in fig. 11. SEM images of the contact with bacteria are shown in fig. 12. The antibacterial effect on the Dian pond water is shown in figure 13. The adsorption and degradation performance of the dye dirt is shown in figure 14. The magnetic results are shown in FIG. 15.
As can be seen from FIG. 1 (c), H 3PO4 activated AC, which exhibited an irregular shape, a loose surface structure, and holes were clearly visible.
As can be seen from fig. 2 (a), the adsorption isotherm of the activated carbon obtained by using H 3PO4 as an activator is II-type, which indicates that the adsorption process is mainly macroporous adsorption, and the activated carbon contains a macroporous structure.
As can be seen from fig. 1 and fig. 2 (a), all three activators can activate AC and generate pore structure, but H 3PO4 is the activated carbon activated by the activator with specific surface area of maximum 1039.32m 2/g, and total pore volume of 1.43cm 2/g; secondly, activated carbon activated by ZnCl 2, wherein the specific surface area is 315.12m 2/g, and the total pore volume is 0.33cm 2/g; KOH-activated carbon has the lowest surface area and total pore volume of 162.57m 2/g,0.19cm2/g, respectively. By means of the specific surface area and the total pore volume of the AC activated by fig. 2 (b) and three different activators, H 3PO4,ZnCl2 can be obtained, with average pore diameters of 2.8nm,1.9nm,2.3nm, respectively, for the KOH activated carbon. Among the three activators, H 3PO4 has obvious advantages in terms of specific surface area, total volume and average pore diameter compared with the other two, and is beneficial to improving the antibacterial effect. Meanwhile, the AC prepared by taking H 3PO4 as an activator has the highest yield and low price. Considering the comprehensive factors of the construction of antibacterial materials, H 3PO4 is the optimal choice for the preparation of Australian nut shell activated carbon as an activator.
As can be seen from fig. 6 (a) and (b), a plurality of metal particles are dispersed in the random dispersed pore structure of the activated carbon, and the metal particles are NiO, which indicates that AC and NiO are successfully combined, and as can be seen from fig. 6 (c-f), C, ni, O, bi elements are well dispersed on the surface of the material, and the successful incorporation of Bi is verified.
As can be seen from FIG. 7 (a), bi 4f, bi 4d and O1s states exist in the AC-NiO/Bi composite antibacterial agent prepared by the present invention; as can be seen from fig. 7 (b), 5 peaks appear in fig. 7 (b), wherein peaks at 853.6eV and 872.4eV are assigned to surface Ni 2+ species, and further three satellite peaks (Sat 1 and Sat 2) are also determined at 855.4, 861.8eV and 879.3eV, which are assigned to paramagnetic Ni 2+ compounds formed by multiple electron transitions. After adding Bi, the binding energy is slightly changed, and the existence of Bi weakens the Ni-O bond, thereby being beneficial to the formation of surface oxygen vacancies. FIG. 7 (c) shows 3 peaks in O1s, wherein 529.2eV belongs to lattice oxygen of Ni-O, 531.2eV belongs to oxygen vacancies adsorbed on the surface of the material, and the binding energy in O1s is basically unchanged after doping Bi. Binding energies 163.9eV and 158.6eV in FIG. 7 (d) are consistent with the two sets of peaks Bi 4f7/2 and Bi 4f5/2, respectively, indicating that Bi exists in trivalent form. From a combination of FIGS. 7 (a-b), it is evident that Bi was successfully doped, and that the change in binding energy caused by Bi doping is favorable for the formation of surface oxygen vacancies, thereby improving antibacterial properties.
As can be seen from FIG. 11, after four cycles, the antibacterial rate of the composite antibacterial agent of the present invention was reduced to 74.89% for Escherichia coli, 24.61% for Escherichia coli, only about 6% for Staphylococcus aureus on average, and about 69.84% for Staphylococcus aureus on average, 28.6% for Staphylococcus aureus on average, and only about 7% for Escherichia coli on average. Although the antibacterial rate of the composite antibacterial agent is reduced to a certain extent in the circulating process, the reduction range is smaller, which proves that the composite antibacterial agent has better stability and better recycling property.
As can be seen from FIG. 12, the composite antibacterial agent of the present invention can effectively destroy the bacterial cell structure, thereby achieving the antibacterial purpose.
In fig. 13, an antibacterial experiment is performed on a Yunnan pond water body in Kunming, yunnan province, and after a plurality of miscellaneous bacteria appear in a culture medium after 24h culture (as shown in the left graph of fig. 13), more than 99% of bacteria in the water body can be removed after the composite antibacterial agent is added into the culture medium for treatment (as shown in the right graph of fig. 13), which shows that the composite antibacterial agent has excellent antibacterial performance on escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus, and can achieve excellent antibacterial effect when more complex bacterial types exist in the water body environment.
As can be seen from FIG. 14, the composite antibacterial agent prepared by the invention also has remarkable adsorption and degradation performances on dye pollutants such as malachite green, methylene blue, methyl orange and the like.
Comparative example 1
This comparative example was prepared with nickel oxide in a flocculent morphology (as shown in fig. 3 (b)) and the antibacterial performance of the nickel oxide was tested and the results are shown in fig. 4.
Comparative example 2
The comparative example was prepared as nickel oxide in a flake form (as shown in fig. 3 (c)), and the antibacterial performance of the nickel oxide was tested, and the result is shown in fig. 4.
Comparative example 3
The comparative example was prepared as shown in fig. 3 (d) and the antibacterial performance of nickel oxide was tested as shown in fig. 4.
Comparative example 4
The comparative example was prepared with a teaflower-like morphology of nickel oxide (as shown in fig. 3 (e)), and the antibacterial performance of the nickel oxide was tested, and the results are shown in fig. 4.
Comparative example 5
The comparative example was prepared with nickel oxide having a spherical morphology (as shown in fig. 3 (f)), and the antibacterial performance of the nickel oxide was tested, and the results are shown in fig. 4.
As can be seen from FIG. 4, the NiO with the nanoparticle morphology has higher antibacterial activity compared with other morphologies, and the inactivation rate of the NiO with the nanoparticle morphology to Escherichia coli can reach 99.73%. Therefore, the nickel oxide with the nanometer morphology is beneficial to improving the antibacterial effect of the composite antibacterial agent prepared by the invention.
Comparative example 6
This comparative example was prepared by the same method as in example 1, except that: bi was not doped in this comparative example.
After the composite antibacterial agent in the comparative example is prepared into antibacterial solutions with different concentrations, an antibacterial effect experiment is carried out, for example, the antibacterial solution with the concentration of 50 mug/ml is prepared by adding 50 mug of the antibacterial agent in the comparative example into 1ml of water. The antibacterial effect of the composite antibacterial agent prepared in this comparative example is shown in fig. 5, the EPR spectrum is shown in fig. 8, the diffuse reflection result of ultraviolet rays is shown in fig. 9, the antibacterial effect on e.coli (escherichia coli) and s.aureus (staphylococcus aureus) is shown in fig. 10, and the magnetic experiment result is shown in fig. 15.
The oxygen vacancies not only can provide enough adsorption sites to adsorb O 2 and act as active sites to activate O 2 to produce more O 2 –, but also facilitate the separation of photogenerated carriers, thereby producing more ROS to enhance the antimicrobial properties of the material. As can be seen from fig. 8, both AC-NiO and AC-NiO/Bi have paramagnetic resonance signals at g=2.003, indicating the presence of oxygen vacancies for both antimicrobial agents. Meanwhile, compared with the AC-NiO, the signal of the oxygen vacancies of the AC-NiO/Bi sample is enhanced, which shows that the doping of Bi promotes the generation of more surface oxygen vacancies, thereby further improving the antibacterial property of the material.
As can be seen from fig. 9, after doping Bi, the band gap of the composite antibacterial agent of the present invention is significantly reduced, and the recombination rate of the photo-generated carriers is slowed down, which is beneficial to improving the antibacterial performance of the composite antibacterial agent of the present invention.
Comparative example 7
The comparative example adopts AC as an antibacterial agent to prepare antibacterial solutions with different concentrations for antibacterial effect experiments.
The antibacterial effect of the antibacterial agent in this comparative example is shown in fig. 5, the antibacterial effect on e.coli (escherichia coli) and s.aureus (staphylococcus aureus) is shown in fig. 10, and the magnetic test result is shown in fig. 15.
As can be seen from fig. 10, the AC antimicrobial agent does not show a zone of inhibition for both bacteria, indicating that AC has no ion elution and has poor antimicrobial properties. The composite antibacterial agent has a remarkable inhibition area on two bacteria, the antibacterial width of the AC-NiO is maximum, the antibacterial circle widths of E.coli and S.aureus are 15.31mm and 18.43mm respectively, the AC-NiO/Bi is slightly reduced compared with the AC-NiO, and the antibacterial circle widths of E.coli and S.aureus are 13.24mm and 14.71mm respectively, so that after Bi doping, the ion dissolution of the antibacterial agent is reduced, the specific gravity of the ion sterilizing part is reduced, and the safety of the material is enhanced. Meanwhile, as can be seen from fig. 10, under the condition that the concentration of the antibacterial solution is the same (300 μg), the antibacterial rate of the AC-NiO to e.coli and s.aureus is 66.87% and 44.22%, respectively, while the antibacterial rate of the composite antibacterial agent of the present invention reaches 98.77% and 78.90%, and meanwhile, after the combination of NiO and AC, the antibacterial rate of the AC-NiO is reduced more than that of NiO, and after the doping of Bi, the antibacterial rate of the composite antibacterial agent is significantly improved and higher than that of NiO, which means that the doping of Bi can not only compensate for the reduction of the antibacterial rate caused by the combination of NiO and AC, but also promote the further improvement of the antibacterial rate of the composite antibacterial agent.
As can be seen from FIG. 15, the composite antibacterial agent of the present invention has an optimal magnetic property, which is advantageous for recycling the composite antibacterial agent of the present invention.
Comparative example 8
The comparative example adopts NiO as an antibacterial agent to prepare antibacterial solutions with different concentrations for antibacterial effect experiments.
The antibacterial effect of the antibacterial agent in this comparative example is shown in fig. 5.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, when the concentration of the antibacterial solution is increased from 50 to 400. Mu.g/ml, the antibacterial ratio of NiO to the antibacterial solution is 14.12%, 30.45%, 34.75%, 94.10% and 94.38% in sequence; the antibacterial rate of AC-NiO was 20.30%, 21.15%, 40.13%, 61.04% and 69.83% in this order. When the concentration of the NiO antibacterial solution is increased from 200 mug/ml to 300 mug/ml, the antibacterial rate is greatly improved, and then the concentration is increased to 400 mug/ml, the antibacterial rate is not greatly improved, which indicates that the suitable concentration of the NiO antibacterial solution is 300 mug/ml, and when the concentration of the NiO is 300 mug/ml, the antibacterial rate of the NiO is obviously reduced after the NiO is combined with AC, so that the comprehensive performance of the antibacterial agent is poor.
In conclusion, the AC-NiO/Bi composite antibacterial agent has excellent antibacterial performance, also has excellent adsorption and degradation performance on dye dirt, also has good recovery and safety, the composite antibacterial agent is used for water environment treatment, can effectively remove pollutants and harmful substances in the water environment, and has high removal safety and low comprehensive cost.
