Study on phosphorus adsorption properties of modified oyster shell.

The influence of different modification methods of oyster shells on phosphorus adsorption properties were studied. The effect of different modified concentrations of AlCl3 on phosphorus removal in oyster shells was compared. The results showed that the phosphorus removal rate of 0.5 mol/L AlCl3 modified oyster shells was as high as 90%, and the phosphorus concentration of residual sewage after treatment was 0.05 mg/L. The study compared the treatment effects of natural oyster shells, hot-modified oyster shells and AlCl3 modified oyster shells on low-concentration phosphorus containing wastewater. The TP removal rate were 63% ~ 68%, 61% ~ 72% and 83% ~ 90%, respectively, and the TP removal rate of AlCl3 modified oyster shells were the highest. The adsorption of natural oyster shells, thermal modified oyster shells and AlCl3 modified oyster shells conforms to the quasi-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, and the adsorption process includes both physical adsorption and chemical adsorption. In the Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, parameter n values of natural oyster shell, hot-modified oyster shell and AlCl3 modified oyster shell were 1.205, 1.168 and 2.611, respectively, indicating that the adsorption reaction of phosphorus on AlCl3 modified oyster shell was easier than that on natural oyster shell and hot-modified oyster shell.
