Preparation of coal kaolinite composites and study of adsorption properties by Rui LIU, Yuping FAN, Ruifeng GUO, Xianshu DONG, Xiaomin MA

“…Coal kaolinite (RK) was used as raw material, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methanol (MeOH) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) were used as the intercalating agents, and modified kaolinite (CK-CTAC) was obtained by three times intercalation, and CK-CTAC/CTS composite was prepared by grafting chitosan (CTS) through the copolymerization reaction, and the batch experimental method was used to study the Pb(II) XRD, SEM and BET analyses showed that the intercalation rates of CK-D, CK-M and CK-CTAC reached 93.8%, 75.1% and 66.5%, respectively, and the morphology did not change significantly before and after the intercalation of CK-D and CK-M, while the large molecular structure of CTAC and the energy input of ultrasonic instrument changed the interlayer morphology of kaolinite into tubular, with an increase in pore space and a 4-fold increase in surface area compared with that of the CK-CTAC. …”
