Fluoride Adsorption Properties of CeO₂ Powders and Al Foam Loaded CeO₂

Abstract:

Cerium oxide powder and aluminum foam loaded cerium oxide were prepared by hydrothermal method using cerium nitrate hexahydrate and dimethyl oxalate (DMO) as raw material. Cerium oxide precursors and cerium oxide particles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Aluminum foam loaded cerium oxide was characterized by environment scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). On the basis of calculation and fitting of the experimental data, effect of the particle size on the adsorption rate, desorption rate and concentration of surface active sites of the powder and composite absorbents were studied. Results show that the removal of fluoride ions can be realized by exchange adsorption of oxhydryl on the cerium oxide particles surface and the fluoride ions in the solution.
