Patent ID: 11623210

Abstract:
A method for preparing a silicate/carbon composite from attapulgite, and use of the silicate/carbon composite are disclosed. The preparation method includes: (1) with attapulgite as a raw material, preparing SiO2 with a special structure; (2) dispersing the prepared SiO2 in water to obtain a suspension, and subjecting the suspension to ultrasonic dispersion; dissolving a metal nitrate in the suspension, adding NH4Cl, and adding ammonia water dropwise to the suspension; and adding sucrose to obtain a suspension; (3) subjecting the suspension to microwave hydrothermal reaction; after the reaction is completed, centrifuging a resulting system; and separating a resulting solid; and (4) subjecting the solid to high-temperature calcination in a muffle furnace, and grinding a resulting product to obtain the silicate/carbon composite, which can be used in photocatalytic ammonia synthesis.
