ABSTRACT
The two kinds of pellet-type red-mud adsorbents (bead-type, crushed-type) were made from red mud, which is generated as a by-product during the production of aluminum hydroxide from bauxite ore. The adsorption experiments of Pb2+ ion in the aqueous solution by these red-mud adsorbents were studied with a continuous adsorption column. As a result, the crushed-type adsorbent shows better performance in adsorption of Pb2+ than the bead-type adsorbent between the two types of the pellet-type adsorbents. The continuous adsorption experiment shows that the pellet-type adsorbents made from red mud have good performance for removal of Pb2+. The breakthrough curves of the red-mud adsorbents were compared with that of activated carbon.
