In this paper, the mechanism that lithium-modified rectorite (Rec-Li) and raw rectorite adsorbed methylene blue dye in wastewater was investigated, and the adsorption properties of the two adsorbents were also compared. The results showed that the static saturated adsorption capacity of raw rectorite was 77.75mg/g, however, the capacity of lithium-modified rectorite was up to 189.62mg/g, the adsorption efficiency was increased by 144%. Therefore, the adsorption capacity of Rec-Li to methylene blue was much higher than raw rectorite. The Rec-Li and raw rectorite were characterized respectively by means of fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and colloid index measurement. The analysis indicated that, after modification by lithium, the colloid index was changed from 12mL/3g to 198mL/3g and the interlayer spacing was changed from 0.01~0.1μm to 1~1.5μm. With the increasing of the colloid index, the dispersion effect of adsorbent in wastewater and the contact area between adsorbent and pollutants were improved. And the increase of interlayer spacing was conducive to pollutants entering the hole and so that the adsorption capacity of Rec-Li was increased significantly. |
