To evaluate the phosphate removal ability of oyster shell powder,oyster shell was used as raw material and doped with a certain amount of boron oxide for high-temperature calcination to obtain boron modified oyster shell powder.Its adsorption and removal behavior of phosphate in aqueous solution was investigated.The results showed that when the boron modification ratio was 3%,the dosage was 4 g/L,and the solution pH was 12,the adsorption removal rate of 20 mg/L phosphate solution reached 95%at 45 ℃ for 4 hours.FTIR chart showed that the main functional groups of the adsorbent were-OH,C=C,Ca-O,C-O-C,and C-H.The XRD pattern indicated that the main crystal form of the adsorbent material is CaCO3.The isothermal model fitting results indicated that the ad-sorption process of phosphate by modified oyster shell powder with a boron modification ratio of 3%was a single-layer adsorption,which was an energy uniform adsorption mechanism.The kinetic model showed that the adsorption process mainly belonged to the chemical adsorption process,which suggests that the main step controlling the ad-sorption reaction rate is the binding of the substances contained in the adsorbent with phosphate ions.This study can provide a theoretical basis for the resource utilization of oyster shells.
