Abstract

Fe₃O₄@NaX magnetic zeolite was prepared via alkaline fusion hydrothermal method with Fe₃O₄ particles and Beipiao oil shale ash as raw material, aiming to making magnetic absorbent substance for absorbing methylene blue (MB) from waste water. The adsorption performance of the magnetic zeolite for MB were studied in various processing conditions, and the adsorption mechanism was revealed. The results show that the removal efficiency and equilibrium adsorption capacity of 2.0% Fe₃O₄@NaX (mass fraction) zeolite for MB were 96.98% and 45.19 mg/g, respectively, in the following adsorption conditions: zeolite dosage of 1 g/L, initial pH of 5.7 of the solution, initial MB concentration of 50 mg/L, adsorption temperature of 25 °C and adsorption time of 60 min. The magnetic zeolite can be separated rapidly from dye solution by an applied external magnetic field, indicating its excellent recyclability. The MB adsorption on the zeolite is a spontaneous and exothermic process of entropy reduction, which follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models. The electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds and pore diffusion are the main driving forces of the adsorption process.

Key words: synthesizing and processing technics for materials magnetic zeolite alkaline fusion hydrothermal method adsorption oil shale ash methylene blue
