Using porous diatomite ceramic as carrier and phenolic resin as carbon precursor, the activated carbon functional ceramic with the activated carbon fixed into porous ceramic was prepared by the impregnation load phenolic resin, carbonization and activation isolated air. The influences of impregnation, curing, carbonization, activation etc. on the material property were discussed. The iodine value, SEM, elemental analyzer, BET and spectrum analysis chart were used to characterize the microstructures and performance of material at different conditions. The results showed that the excellent comprehensive property of activated carbon functional ceramic was gained when it adsorbed phenolic resin in 4 h under vacuum condition at curing temperature of 150 ℃ for 0.5 h and carbonization temperature of 600 ℃ for 1.0 h, and then put into 25wt% KOH for 4.0 h at activation temperature of 700 ℃ for 1.5 h. The iodine value is 176.9 mg/g, the specific surface area can reach 86.3 m2/g and the yield of carbonization is 50.48%.
Oyster shell and cement were taken as the major raw materials to fabricate hollow, tubular and recoverable material for phosphorous removal （P removal） from waste water without sintering. In this paper, the effects of different affecting factors on the sample P removal ratio were discussed to select optimal P removal process conditions. SEM and XRD were used to characterize the microscopic structures and composition of samples, and molybdenum blue spectrophotometry was applied to determine the P content in waste water. Results showed that at 30 ℃ for 2 d, the P removal ratio reached 93.3% when the cement content was 10 wt% and oyster shell powder was 90 wt%. SEM analysis revealed a flaky structure consisting of phosphorus-containing compound in the samples after P removal, and it piled on and maintained the porous structure. In addition, the results also suggested that raising the ambient temperature was benefit to the P removal. The P removal ratio of the material was optimal under neutral and alkali conditions.
