The invention discloses a method for preparing a heavy
metal adsorbent from
blast furnace slag and application, and the method comprises the following steps: soaking
blast furnace slag in water, filtering,
drying and
grinding; reacting the ground product with alkali liquor, carrying out suction
filtration, retaining the filtrate as solution 1, and recording the filter residue as
solid 1; adjusting the pH value of the solution 1, performing suction
filtration, and recording filtrate as solution 2; adding filter residues into alkali liquor 2, and reacting to obtain a clear solution 3; and performing
ultrasonic dispersion on the
solid 1 in water to obtain a suspension 1, adding the solution 3 into the suspension 1, performing
ultrasonic dispersion to obtain a suspension 2, adding the solution 2, and finally performing
centrifugal separation to obtain the adsorbent. According to the invention, aluminum ions and
silicate ions are separated from
blast furnace slag, then the aluminum ions and the
silicate ions are mixed with a treated blast furnace slag skeleton, and the use amounts and curing conditions of the aluminum ions, the
silicate ions and the treated blast furnace slag skeleton are controlled, so that the adsorbent which has a fluffy and granular skeleton and covers a layer of bulges and wrinkles on the surface of the skeleton is prepared, the specific surface area is large, and the adsorption rate on
heavy metals is good.
