Abstract:With the development of industrial utilization of chromium, the problem of chromium pollution is becoming more and more serious. Based on the advantages of easy separation of metal mesh, Al/Cu bimetallic mesh materials were prepared by chemical deposition method to realize the rapid removal of Cr(Ⅵ). Thereaction temperature, solution pH, Al/Cu bimetallic dosing quantity and other conditions were optimized by static test system. The Al/Cu bimetallic mesh material was characterized. It was found that the loose coral-like particles of Cu coating grew on the surface of the Al mesh in situ. The static test of Cr(Ⅵ) removal showed that the removal rate of Cr(Ⅵ) by Al/Cu bimetallic network can reach more than 90% in a wide pH range of 3.0~9.0.When the dosage of Al/Cu bimetallic network was 3 pieces, the Cr(Ⅵ) initial concentration was 5 mg/L, and the reaction temperature was 40℃, the removal effect of Cr(Ⅵ) in water worked best.Mechanism analysis showed that a large number of galvanic cells were formed on the surface of Al/Cu bimetallic network to promote Al0 corrosion and release electrons to reduce Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(Ⅲ).The formation of[H]abs on the surface of bimetallic mesh further promoted the reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(OH)3 or deposits in the form of flocs on the surface of bimetallic network to remove Cr(Ⅵ) from aqueous solution.The easily separated Al/Cu bimetallic mesh is helpful for the rapid removal of Cr(Ⅵ) in groundwater and other water bodies, and has a good prospect of engineering application.
