Abstract

Large amounts of chloride ions (Cl−) and sulfate ions (SO42−) are present in salt-washing wastewater, making it unsuitable for direct release. Adsorption can be used to eliminate Cl− and SO42− from salt-washing wastewater, and hydrotalcite is an excellent adsorbent with high adsorption properties for these ions because of a layered bimetallic hydroxide structure. The selective extraction of various metals, such as calcium, magnesium, aluminum, and iron, from steel slag via acid leaching facilitates the utilization of steel slag in the preparation of hydrotalcite. In this study, the leaching mechanism of metal in steel slag was investigated using steel slag as a raw material and acetic acid as the reaction medium. The study obtained the optimal leaching mechanism for preparing hydrotalcite. Hydrotalcite was synthesized from the steel slag leaching solution by hydrothermal synthesis, and its structure was characterized. The adsorption performance of Cl− and SO42− in salt-washing wastewater was investigated by solution adsorption experiments. The removal rates of Cl− and SO42− in salt-washing wastewater reached 12.8% and 38.0%, respectively. After multiple adsorption cycles, the removal rates increased to 98.0% for Cl− and 96.4% for SO42−.
