The invention relates to a magnetic
activated carbon preparation method, in particular to a magnetically-separable
activated carbon composite material and a preparation method thereof. The magnetically-separable
activated carbon composite material is formed by
compositing of activated carbon particles and a magnetic
particle material, and activated carbon separation and extraction can be realizedby the aid of an external
magnetic field. The method includes steps: step one, performing activated carbon extraction and
surface modification; step two, taking activated carbon as a carrier to prepare two or more types of
metal salt solutions according to certain proportions; step three, adding a certain quantity of
citric acid, well mixing, dropwise adding
ammonium hydroxide to adjust a pH value, and well stirring; step four, forming gel at a certain temperature; step five,
sintering under shielding of
nitrogen; step six, magnetically separating, washing and
drying. The magnetically-separable activated carbon
composite material and the preparation method thereof have advantages that the adsorption performance of
bamboo charcoal is unaffected by loading of a small quantity of magnetic materials while
magnetism of the activated carbon particles is realized, and separation and
recovery of the activated carbon can be realized through the external
magnetic field after adsorption of harmful impurities in
sewage.
