Study on Adsorption Removal of Humic Acid in Water by Modified Clays

Abstract:

In this study, three kinds of natural clay minerals (kaolin clay, montmorillonite and diatomaceous earth) were used to treat the raw water containing humic acid (HA) by adsorption/sedimentation. The results indicated that natural kaolin clay had no obvious effect on removing HA in water. Using chitosan to modify montmorillonite and diatomaceous earth, the removal effect of the modified diatomaceous earth for HA was better than modified montmorillonite, and the optimal ratio between chitosan and diatomaceous earth was 1:30. Compared with natural diatomaceous earth, the modified clay had better adsorption property for HA at the same dosage. Using modified diatomaceous earth, the maximal removing rates for TOC and turbidity could respectively reach 85.9% and 64.6% with 60 mg/L dosage and 50 min.
