The invention discloses a modified red-mud-based
arsenic removal agent for acid mine
wastewater as well as a preparation method and application of the modified red-mud-based
arsenic removal agent. The preparation method of the
arsenic removal agent comprises the following steps: placing the
red mud in acid mine
wastewater for modification reaction, and sequentially carrying out
solid-liquid separation, washing and
drying to obtain the arsenic removal agent, the
mass volume ratio of the
red mud to the acid mine
wastewater is 1-15g / L; the pH value of the acidic mine wastewater is 1-3, and the concentration of
ferric iron is 3-4g / L. According to the arsenic removal agent,
red mud serves as a matrix, the arsenic removal capacity of the red mud can be greatly improved only through impregnation modification by means of the synergistic effect between the red mud and acid mine wastewater, and based on the excellent performance of the red mud-based arsenic removal agent, when the red mud-based arsenic removal agent is used for deep arsenic removal of wastewater, the arsenic removal capacity of the red mud can be greatly improved only through adjustment of the pH of a
system. According to the present invention, the arsenic ions with different valence states can be completely and deeply removed by using the arsenic removal agent, and the test results show that the removal rate of the trivalent arsenic can achieve 94.47% and the removal rate of the pentavalent arsenic can achieve 99.99% when the pH value of the
system is 12 when the arsenic removal agent is adopted to perform the deep arsenic removal on the wastewater.
