Preparation of polymeric aluminum ferric sulphate from waste residue of aluminum industry

Polymeric aluminum ferric sulphate(PAFS) was prepared from high-sulfur bauxite flotation tailings and red mud by roasting, acid leaching and polymerization. The effects of leaching temperature, leaching time, liquid-solid ratio on the leaching rate of Al3+ and Fe3+were investigated. The optimal leac...

Description
Summary:Polymeric aluminum ferric sulphate(PAFS) was prepared from high-sulfur bauxite flotation tailings and red mud by roasting, acid leaching and polymerization. The effects of leaching temperature, leaching time, liquid-solid ratio on the leaching rate of Al3+ and Fe3+were investigated. The optimal leaching conditions are as follows: leaching temperature 100℃, leaching time 90 min, sulfuric acid concentration 4.5mol/L and liquid-solid ratio 5 mg/L. Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out on the PAFS prepared under the optimum process parameters. The characterization of PAFS shows that the synthesized PAFS had polymeric aluminum, iron and hydroxyl structures. Wastewater disposal test of synthetic PAFS shows that the removal rates of COD, turbidity and chromaticity are 45.61%, 75% and 94.18%, respectively.
