Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the possibility of using Na-bentonite as a raw material to produce aluminum salt-modified bentonite (AlMB) for desilication of green liquor. Batch experiments were carried out by varying the experimental parameters to find the optimum conditions. The optimum adsorbent dose was 20 g/L. The maximum adsorptions of 96.37% and 87.22% took place at pH 7.4 when the initial concentrations of silicate in green liquor were 4 and 6 g/L, respectively. The kinetic models showed that the process included physical adsorption and chemical adsorption. Finally, this study showed that the extent of desorption was 56.78% for silicate after desorption of AlMB in 2 M NaOH solution. The AlMB is an efficient and novel adsorbent for desilicating that can provide a good reference for the “silicon influence” in a papermaking mill.
