Abstract:As a solid waste, titanium-bearing blast furnace slag has a huge stock in China, and its titanium components are difficult to be extracted, resulting in that the comprehensive utilization of titanium-bearing blast furnace slag has not been effectively solved. In view of current problems for low utilization rate and low added value of titanium-bearing blast furnace slag, and based on its composition characteristics, through the methods of selective crystallization (CaTiO3 advantageous precipitation) and alkali excitation, CaTiO3-porous geopolymer composite material was prepared. The experimental results show that the advantageous precipitation of CaTiO3 can be promoted by crystallization temperature of 1 400 ℃ and heat preservation for 1 h, while the remaining oxides exist in the form of glass phase. The CaTiO3-porous geopolymer composite material was combined with the advantages of CaTiO3 high photocatalytic activity and large specific surface area of porous geopolymer. The maximum adsorption capacity of prepared CaTiO3-porous geopolymer material for methylene blue was up to 60.4 mg/g, which had excellent adsorption effect. The removal rate of methylene blue could reach 94.5% under the conditions of 20 mg dosage, 2 h adsorption and 3 h photodegradation, which had a good application prospect in the field of organic pollution control.
