Abstract: In this paper, aluminum composites with high hydrolytic activity were prepared by mechanical milling using metal aluminum, low melting point metal gallium, indium, stannum, inorganic salts NaCl and CaO as additives. The hydrogen production rate of aluminum composites and the adsorption properties of the hydrolysate on Congo red solution were studied. The influence of the initial dye concentration, the mass of hydrolysate as well as ambient temperature on the Congo red adsorption efficiency was investigated. The results showed that Al alloys-10% NaCl with 10% NaCl addition had the highest hydrogen production rate, reaching 83%. The hydrogen production was 1 020 mL for 1 g of Al alloys-10% NaCl composites in water at 75 ℃. The results of XRD and SEM showed that the size of Al particles was effectively reduced due to the addition of inorganic salts NaCl, and the hydrolysate obtained by the reaction of aluminum-water was AlO(OH) powder with porous nanostructures, which presented the best adsorption ability for Congo red with the maximum adsorption efficiency of 95%. With the increase of the initial concentration of Congo red and the ambient temperature, the adsorption efficiency of hydrolysate decreased. However, the adsorption of Congo red was enhanced when the mass of hydrolysates increased.
