Used fly ash as raw material, it was modified by acid, alkali and high temperature to produce modified fly ash adsorbent, sulfuric acid modified fly ash adsorbent, sodium hydroxide modified fly ash adsorbent and high temperature modified fly ash adsorbent. In this paper, the effects of adsorbent dosage, adsorbent adsorption time, initial dye concentration, wastewater pH and temperature on dye adsorption were studied. The results showed that: the acid modified fly ash adsorbent had a good treatment effect on the dye; when the dosage of fly ash was 1.00 g, the adsorption time was 90 min, the pH of wastewater was 4, and the temperature was 45 °C, the decolorization rate of 60 mg/L methyl orange dye can reached more than 70%; when the dosage of fly ash was 0.20 g, the adsorption time was 60 min, the pH of wastewater was 3, and the temperature was 35 °C, the decolorization rate of 20 mg/L methyl orange dye can be achieved. The decolorization rate of Congo red can reached more than 80%.
