To solve the problems of high synthesis cost and lack of specific adsorption sites on traditional zeolites surface, polydopamine-modified coal gangue based zeolite was successfully synthesized by combining alkali melting hydrothermal method and impregnation coating method using coal gangue as raw material and dopamine as the polymerization monomer and applied for efficient adsorption of Cd(Ⅱ) from aqueous solution. The adsorption performance was investigated by batch adsorption experiments, and adsorption mechanism was revealed by SEM-EDS and XPS method. The results showed that polydopamine coating significantly improved the adsorption capacity of coal gangue-derived zeolite. The adsorption process conformed to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and pseudo-second-order model, suggesting that Cd(Ⅱ) adsorption by Zeolite@PDA was monolayer and chemical adsorption, and the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity could reach 130.89mg/g, which was two times as high as that of Zeolite (qmax=66.49mg/g). Thermodynamic studies indicated that Cd(Ⅱ) adsorption by Zeolite@PDA was a spontaneous, endothermic process with increased disorder at the solid-liquid interface. SEM-EDS and XPS analysis showed that cation exchange between Na+and Cd(Ⅱ) as well as surface complexation between surface functional groups and Cd(Ⅱ) played a primary role for Cd(Ⅱ) removal.
