Abstract
This study reports the in-situ transformation of geopolymers into molecular sieve using a method with mild conditions. The application of geopolymer zeolites for dynamic adsorption in continuous fixed beds has been less studied, and the application of adsorbents after adsorption has been less studied. Different metakaolin-based geopolymer molecular sieve microspheres (NaA-MSM, SOD-MSM) were prepared by in-situ conversion of metakaolin as raw material and NaOH as an alkali activator. The continuous fixed-bed adsorption performance was evaluated by varying the influent flow rate, initial metal concentration, and adsorbent dosage. The maximum adsorption capacities of NaA-MSM and SOD-MSM for Cu (II) were 698.14 and 523.84 mg·g−1, respectively. In the simulated solution of real lake water, the adsorption capacities of NaA-MSM and SOD-MSM for Cu (II) were 202.94 and 154.97 mg·g−1, respectively. The results show that the synthesized molecular sieve is an excellent adsorbent for Cu (II)-containing wastewater, and the application design of recycling heavy metals in wastewater by adsorption technology and degrading dyes has been successfully constructed.
