Study on the Adsorption Performance of Lead Ions in Water by Phosphate Base Polymer with Different Ratio

Abstract:

Red mud, a by-product of the aluminum industry, poses a threat to the environment with its high alkalinity and heavy metal content and may seep into the soil and groundwater, endangering ecology and health. Effective utilization of red mud can reduce pollution and achieve resource recycling. In this study, a metakaolin/red mud geopolymer was prepared by phosphoric acid excitation to investigate its adsorption capacity for lead ions. The ratio of metakaolin to red mud and the additions of phosphoric acid and water were optimized, and the optimal formulations were 3/7 mass ratio of metakaolin to red mud, 2.2 molar ratio of H₃PO₄/Al₂O₃, and 0.5 water-solid ratio, which demonstrated good stability and operability.
