The invention relates to a method for preparing a printing dye adsorbent by taking eggshells as a matrix and a treatment method. The method comprises the following steps of: crushing the pretreated eggshells, treating by using a diluted alkali NaOH or KOH solution for 2 hours, cleaning by using clear water to remove alkali liquor, and
drying at the temperature of 80 DEG C for 2 to 5 hours to obtain
eggshell powder; and putting the
eggshell powder,
sodium silicate and aluminum
sulfate in a mixer and mixing to obtain a mixture, regulating the pH value of the mixture, putting the mixture in a
drying oven and
drying at the temperature of between 100 and 1,000 DEG C for 2 to 5 hours, cooling and crushing to obtain a treating agent for printing and
dyeing wastewater. According to the treatment method, the addition amount of the printing dye adsorbent is 0.5 to 5 g / L, and the printing and
dyeing wastewater is treated by the printing dye adsorbent at the temperature of between 10 and 40 DEG Cfor over 20 minutes. According to the method, the discarded eggshells are taken as main raw materials, so the production cost is low; a heating activating treatment process is adopted, the process issimple and controllable, and
waste gas,
wastewater and industrial residues are not discharged in the production process; and water-soluble dyes in the printing and
dyeing wastewater are adsorbed fully under the adsorption action of the discarded eggshells, the addition amount is little, the decoloration rate of alkaline dyes is over 90 percent, and the decoloration rate of direct dyes is over 80 percent, so that the chroma of the wastewater is reduced effectively, and
water quality is improved.
