The invention provides a preparation method of supported zirconia
hydrate with a high specific surface area through dispersion modification and an application thereof. The preparation method comprisesfollowing steps: using a surfactant to carry out
surface modification on macroporous cation exchange resin with
zirconium ions: mixing a surfactant and
sodium hydroxide to prepare a
mixed solution, adding macroporous cation exchange resin into a
zirconium chloride /
hydrochloric acid solution to carry out reactions, then adding the macroporous cation exchange resin with
zirconium ions into a mixedsolution containing a surfactant to carry out reactions, after reactions, washing the cation exchange resin by
distilled water and
anhydrous ethanol in sequence, and
drying the cation exchange resin to obtain the product. According to the preparation method, a surfactant is used to adjust the dispersion state of zirconia
hydrate in the cation exchange resin so that zirconia
hydrate is dispersed inthe cation exchange resin in a nanometer level, the specific surface area and heavy
metal adsorbing performance of the
composite material are both enhanced, the supported zirconia hydrate is used toprocess desulfurization
wastewater,
zinc ions and organic substances in
wastewater can be removed at the same time, the using amount of nano-filter membrane is reduced, and the cost is reduced therefore.
