Calcium sulfate whisker (CSW) was prepared through the method of cooling recrystallization. In an attempt to develop its new application in environmental protection, we investigated the effect of calcination on the material properties and arsenic uptake performance of calcium sulfate whisker anhydrate (CSAW), which was obtained from CSW calcined at 600 °C for 2 h. Moreover, XRD, SEM, optical microscope, and FT-IR were used to characterize CSW samples. It was found that calcination played an important role in the whisker structure through changing the content of crystal water and the morphology. The CSAW material exhibited a high removal rate of As3+/As5+under strongly alkaline condition. |
