摘要

Preparation of bagasse carbon-red mud (BCRM), a low-cost adsorption material used in wastewater treatment, from red mud and bagasse has been studied. Effects of most important conditions in preparation process on the adsorption capability of BCRM were investigated. The optimal preparation parameters for BCRM were obtained. BCRM had a high surface area and a good mesoporous structure and exhibited an excellent adsorption capacity. The used BCRM could be regenerated via simple calcination at 573K in air for 1h. BCRM was an effective, economic, and regenerable material for adsorption of organic contaminants in wastewater.
