Eutrophication of water bodies due to excess ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) is harmful to aquatic organisms and human health. In this study, foundry dust (FD) from foundry industry was used to synthesize NaA zeolite to use as an adsorbent to remove NH-N from wastewater. Results demonstrate that FD could be successfully synthesized to form a foundry dust-based NaA zeolite (FZA) through adjustment of the silica-alumina ratio of n (SiO)/n (AlO) at 2 at 95 °C. Specific surface area, total pore volume, and cation exchange capacity (CEC), and maximum adsorption NH-N of FZA was respectively 43.185 cm/g, 0.0364 cm/g, 212.35 mmol/100 g and 37.81 mg/g, which was 4.74, 1.54, 1.52 and 1.62 times as much as the NaA zeolite (SZA). FZA with higher adsorption NH-N capacity was related to higher specific surface area and CEC. The NH-N adsorption amount of 28.57 mg/g by FZA was obtained after the fourth regeneration, which was notably higher than that of SZA (23.27 mg/g). The desorption rate of NH-N from FZA was 87% by the fourth regeneration. FZA effectively removed NH-N from swine wastewater containing 153.32 mg/L NH-N. Results suggest that FZA could be used as absorbent to removal NH-N from wastewater.
水体中过量氨氮(NH-N)导致的富营养化对水生生物和人类健康有害。在本研究中,利用铸造工业产生的铸造粉尘(FD)合成NaA沸石,用作从废水中去除NH-N的吸附剂。结果表明,通过在95℃下将二氧化硅与氧化铝的摩尔比n(SiO₂)/n(Al₂O₃)调整为2,可以成功地将FD合成形成基于铸造粉尘的NaA沸石(FZA)。FZA的比表面积、总孔体积、阳离子交换容量(CEC)以及最大NH-N吸附量分别为43.185 cm²/g、0.0364 cm³/g、212.35 mmol/100 g和37.81 mg/g,分别是NaA沸石(SZA)的4.74倍、1.54倍、1.52倍和1.62倍。具有较高NH-N吸附能力的FZA与较高的比表面积和CEC有关。第四次再生后,FZA的NH-N吸附量为28.57 mg/g,明显高于SZA(23.27 mg/g)。第四次再生时,FZA对NH-N的解吸率为87%。FZA有效地从含有153.32 mg/L NH-N的猪废水中去除了NH-N。结果表明,FZA可作为吸附剂用于从废水中去除NH-N。
