The Preparation and Properties of SiO2-Al2O3 Composite Fluoride Removal Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

The fluoride removal agents of SiO2-Al2O3 spherical particles were prepared using aluminum powder and sodium silicate as the main raw material by sol-gel method. The samples were characterized by XRD analysis method, and several influencing factors of fluoride removal performances had been studied, such as the content of SiO2, calcinations temperature, calcinations time, pH values, etc. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of SiO2-Al2O3 increased with the content of SiO2 increasing in the range of 0 to 12%. The best calcination temperature is 500 °C, and the best calcination time is 1 hour. The concentration of fluorine could reduce from 190 mg/L to 0.388 mg/L in the environment of pH 5.5 ~ 6, and the adsorption capacity could reach 9.48 mg/g, and the fluoride removal rate could reach 99%.
