Abstract

Hollow spherical AlOOH was successfully prepared by template-free hydrothermal method employing Al₂(SO₄)₃ and urea as raw materials. The appropriate preparation conditions were obtained after determining the influence of Al³⁺/urea molar ratio, hydrothermal temperature, time and Al³⁺ concentration on the structure and morphology of the prepared AlOOH. The hollow spherical structure consisted of a large number of nanoflakes possesses a high specific surface area and a total pore volume, whose formation is a process involving precipitation, dissolution and recrystallization. Hollow spherical AlOOH exhibits excellent adsorption capacity for Congo red with the adsorption equilibrium of 10 min and the maximal adsorption capacity of 253.81 mg·g^-1. The adsorption capacity still maintains a high level after 4 times of recycling. The pseudo-second-order model fits the adsorption process well. Both the Langmuir and Freundlich models fit the adsorption well.

Key words: inorganic non-metallic materials hollow spherical AlOOH template-free hydrothermal adsorption formation process
