Abstract:Given that blast-furnace alkali-activated slag is a kind of material with high adsorption performance and nano-zero-valent iron (nZVI) alone has limitations in wastewater treatment, six types of blast furnace alkali slag loaded with nZVI (alkali slag-nZVI) material with different mass ratios were prepared by liquid phase reduction method. And the removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater was studied under the conditions of five different dosages, different interval time and reaction temperatures. Results indicated that the best mass ratio of alkali slag -nZVI was 4∶1 and the most effective dosage was 1 g. The removal rates of TN and TP increased with the rising of temperature, and both rates could reach over 65% at 25 ℃ and the reaction time of 1.5 h. Through analyzing the adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherm and adsorption thermodynamics of alkali slag-nZVI, it proved that the adsorption process of nitrogen and phosphorus by alkali slag-nZVI is a spontaneous process of entropy increase and heat absorption, and its adsorption kinetics fitted the pseudo-first-order equation. Key words:slag-nZVI/ adsorption isotherms/ adsorption kinetics/ thermodynamics.
