The invention discloses a
halloysite /
zirconium phosphate nano
composite material, a preparation method thereof and application of the
halloysite /
zirconium phosphate nano
composite material in heavy
metal adsorption, and belongs to the technical field of materials. The
halloysite /
zirconium phosphate nano
composite material is formed by growing nano
zirconium phosphate particles on the inner wall of a halloysite
nanotube, and the preparation process of the halloysite /
zirconium phosphate nano composite material comprises the following steps: dispersing the halloysite
nanotube in a
solvent, adding a zirconium
salt solution, carrying out ultrasonic treatment to obtain a halloysite-zirconium
ion dispersion liquid, carrying out circulating vacuum treatment on the halloysite-zirconium
ion dispersion liquid, and carrying out
vacuum drying to obtain the halloysite /
zirconium phosphate nano composite material. And carrying out
solid-liquid separation, putting the obtained
solid into
phosphoric acid or a phosphate solution to carry out phosphating reaction, and washing and
drying the obtained product to obtain the product.
Zirconium phosphate nanoparticles in the composite material are small in size, uniform in distribution and good in loading stability, show high adsorption activity on heavy
metal ions, can be widely applied to adsorption of the heavy
metal ions in a
solution system, are good in stability and can be repeatedly used for multiple times.
