Abstract

Red mud is generated as a by-product in the production of $Al(OH)_{3}/Al_2O_3$ from bauxite ore. In this study the pellet-type adsorbents have been made from the red mud, and their adsorption capacities of heavy metal ions have been tested. The pellet-type adsorbents were synthesized to utilize the excellent adsorption capacity of the powder-type adsorbent for industrial application. The pellet-type adsorbents were prepared by mixing several kinds of additives with the red mud. It is found that the pellet-type adsorbent, made by sintering a mixture of red mud (96.0 wt%), polypropylene (2.5%), fly ash (0.5 w%), and sodium metasilicate(1.0 wt%) at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes, has the highest adsorption capacity. in this work, the two kinds of pellet-type adsorbents (bead-type, crushed-type) were prepared. The crushed-type adsorbent was found to show a better adsorption/desorption performance than the bead-type adsorbent. The crushed-type adsorbent showed a good adsorption capacity of $Pb^{2+}$ like the powder-type adsorbent.

보오크사이트를 원료로 하여 $Al(OH)_{3}/Al_2O_3$ 를 생산하는 공정에서 발생되는 부산물인 적니를 물리.화학적으로 처리하여 중금속 이온 제거용 흡착제로 재활용하고자 하였으며, 산업적으로 적용이 쉽도록 입자형 적니흡착제를 제조하였다. 이를 위하여 적니를 주성부능로 하고 몇 가지 첨가물의 함량과 소결온도를 변화시키며 실험하여 입자형 적니흡착제를 제조하였다. 실험결과, 적니 96.0wt%에 polypropylene 2.5wt%, sodium metasilicate 10wt%, fly ash 0.5 wt%를 첨가하여 $1200^{\circ}C$ 에서 30분간 소결시켜 제조하였을 때 납 이온에 대해 가장 높은 흡착제거율을 나타내었다. 그리고 입자형 적니흡착제의 제조방법에 따라 분쇄형 적나흡착제와 비드형 적니흡착제로 구분하여 이들의 중금속 흡탈착성능을 실험하였다. 그 결과 분쇄형 적니흡착제는 비드형 적니흡착제보다 흡착제거율과 탈착율이 모두 우수하였으며 분발형 적니흡착제와 마찬가지로 $Pb^{2+}$ 이온의 흡착제거율이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
