Preparation of Calcium Silicate Using Hazardous Solid Wastes and its Application in Treatment of Phosphate-Containing Wastewater

Abstract:

The silica, one of the by-products of fluorine industry, contains soluble fluoride which is harmful to the environment. Therefore, a study on fixing soluble fluoride was conducted by hydrothermal method with the silica as raw material and adding hydrated lime (HL), and the nanowires-reticulated calcium silicate with high specific surface area up to 143.8m²/g was prepared at the same time. The prepared calcium silicate was used as adsorbent in the experiments of phosphorus (P) adsorption from aqueous solution, the adsorption capacity, adsorption rate and P removability were characterized. The results show that the preparation conditions affect distinctly the adsorption performances of calcium silicate, especially, the dosage Ca/Si molar ratio. For the optimized calcium silicate sample, the total P adsorption capacity is 125.7mg/g and the exchange rate of Ca²⁺ reaches 95.8%, the P residual concentration is only 0.3mg/L, the saturated adsorption time is 3900 min, when the simulation solution with P concentration of 100 mg/L is treated. The P residual concentration is only 0.1mg/L for the simulation solution of 56.12mg/L.
