The invention discloses a method for preparing adsorbent by using bottom mud of Dian Lake and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of heavy
metal adsorbents. The method comprises the following steps: soaking the bottom mud by
distilled water, repeatedly washing and
drying the bottom mud, adding a
glutaraldehyde solution into the bottom mud to serve as an activator, adding the bottom mud into a
polydimethyl diallylammonium chloride solution, putting in a water bath to carry out heating
reflux, pouring the supernate and carrying out acidizing by
hydrochloric acid, filtering and washing to neutral and
drying to obtain initial samples, putting the samples in an electric furnace and carrying out high-temperature
carbonization by taking vapor as protection gas, obtaining carbonized samples after cooling, repeatedly washing the samples to remove the impurities in the carbonized products until washing to neutral (pH>6.5), carrying out
drying,
grinding after cooling, and screening to obtain the samples according with adsorption. The method is simple in operation conditions, extremely high in adsorbent productivity; through combining the physical
activation method and the chemical
activation method, the activation effect is relatively good, the performance of the adsorbent is improved and the adsorption value of
manganese is greater than 19mg / g.
