- Abstract
- Fly ash red mud occupied a great quantity of soils and polluted water source because of it has a very high sodium content. In the present work, the magnesium salts were used to remove sodium from fly ash red mud. The Mg2+ replaced Na+ from the compounds in the fly ash red mud and then the new created compounds dissolved in water to remove Na+. The reaction time, reaction temperature, liquid-solid ratio and magnesium salt/Na2O ration were studied. The optimal reaction conditions are: reaction time is 80 min, reaction temperature is 80 , liquid-solid ratio is 5 and magnesium salt- Na2O ratio is 2 for Mg(NO3)2 and MgSO4, respectively. Mg(NO3)2 have a better property for removing sodium from fly ash red mud than MgSO4. Both of them can achieve the requirement that make the sodium content below 2w%. The treated red can be used as raw materials in cement industry.
