Abstract

The textile printing and dyeing industry, as one of the important pillars of the global economy, has become an environmental problem that needs to be solved because of the increasingly serious pollution of dye wastewater generated during its production process. Dye wastewater not only contains high concentrations of organic dyes, but also often accompanied by heavy metal ions, additives and salts and other pollutants, if discharged directly without effective treatment, will seriously pollute the water body, destroying the ecological balance, and affecting the survival and health of human beings and aquatic organisms. In order to deal with the problems of serious pollution, large discharge and high cost of dye wastewater, it is necessary to develop an efficient, economic and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment system. It is particularly important to develop efficient, economical and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technologies. Adsorption is considered as a promising method for wastewater treatment. In this study, we focused on the development of new and efficient adsorbent materials. Taking methylene blue, a typical dye, as an example, we skillfully composited modified biochar with montmorillonite, a natural mineral material, through pyrolysis and intercalation strategies, and conducted in-depth investigations on the effects of the composites on the adsorption of methylene blue in water, the factors affecting the regeneration performance of the adsorbents, and the thermodynamic characteristics of the adsorption. The effect of the composite material on the adsorption of methylene blue in water, the factors affecting the regeneration performance of the adsorbent and the adsorption thermodynamic characteristics were investigated in depth, with a view to providing certain theoretical and practical references for the effective treatment of dye wastewater.
