Method of producing short carbon nanotube fibers from a carbonaceous gas.

The present invention provides a magnetic Fe.sub.2O.sub.3 nanosphere with PNH surface modification and application thereof in water treatment. First, 2,2-bipyridyl-5,5′-dicarboxylic acid is reacted with thionyl chloride to obtain 2,2-bipyridyl-5,5′-diacid chloride; then 2,2-bipyridyl-5,5′-diacid chloride and 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane react in the presence of triethylamine to obtain a polynitrogen heterocyclic polymer; the polynitrogen heterocyclic polymer is added into an aqueous solution with iron salt to obtain a magnetic Fe.sub.2O.sub.3 nanosphere with PNH surface modification which has strong light absorption ability, which improves its ability to catalyze in degradation of tetracycline under visible light, so that the pollutants are removed from water.

The application belongs to the technical field of photocatalyst preparation, and specifically relates to a MOFs/COFs heterojunction composite photocatalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. The application uses melamine (MA), 1,3,5-trimethylphloroglucinol (Tp), 2-aminoterephthalic acid, and ferrous acetate as reaction raw materials, a catalyst is added, and a mechanical grinding method is used, to prepare the MOFs/COFs heterojunction composite photocatalyst. The catalyst is simple and green in preparation method, and has the better degradation efficiency for pollutants in water, especially carbamazepine.
