花生壳活性炭的表征,表面改性及吸附脱除水中Pb2+离子

Metal ion contamination of drinking water and waste water, especially with heavy metal ion such as lead, is a serious and ongoing problem. In this work, activated carbon prepared from peanut shell (PAC) was used for the removal of Pb2 from aqueous solution. The impacts of the Pb2 adsorption capacities of the acid-modified carbons oxidized with HNO3 were also investigated. The surface functional groups of PAC were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Boehm titration. The textural properties (surface area, total pore volume) were evaluated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77K. The experimental results presented indicated that the adsorption data fitted better with the Langmuir adsorption model. A comparative study with a commercial granular activated carbon (GAC) showed that PAC was 10.3 times more efficient compared to GAC based on Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity. Further analysis results by the Langmuir equation showed that HNO3 [20% (by mass)] modified PAC has larger adsorption capacity of Pb2 from aqueous solution (as much as 35.5mg.g1). The adsorption capacity enhancement ascribed to pore widening, increased cation-exchange capacity by oxygen groups, and the promoted hydrophilicity of the carbon surface.     

Removal of carbon disulfide (CS2) from water via adsorption on active carbon fiber (ACF)

The primary objective of this paper was to demonstrate the suitability of ACF in effectively adsorbing CS₂ from water, and to compare its performance vs. that of GAC. Commercial ACF was modified to increase its specific surface and pore volume. CS₂ removal was studied by adding ACF to water containing CS₂ under varying conditions. The experimental results reveal that ACF is a potential adsorbent for capturing CS₂ under both equilibrium and dynamic adsorption/desorption conditions. The adsorption capacity of ACF was observed to considerably increase with the increase of CS₂ concentration: It was observed that the modified ACF exhibited greater adsorption for CS₂ than the GAC, and the mechanism for this difference was explored; The modified ACF showed a consistent performance within a pH range from 3-9; Under the experimental conditions, an modified ACF sample was adsorbed and desorbed by boiling water repeatedly without exhibiting any appreciable degradation in its adsorption performance.     

Peanut Shell Activated Carbon： Characterization,Surface Modification and Adsorption of Pb^2＋ from Aqueous Solution

Metal ion contamination of drinking water and waste water, especially with heavy metal ion such as lead, is a serious and ongoing problem. In this work, activated carbon prepared from peanut shell （PAC） was used for the removal of Pb^2＋ from aqueous solution. The impacts of the Pb25 adsorption capacities of the acid-modified carbons oxidized with HNO3 were also investigated. The surface functional groups of PAC were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared （FTIR） spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, Boehm titration. The textural properties （surface area, total pore volume） were evaluated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77 K. The experimental results presented indicated that the adsorption data fitted better with the Langmuir adsorption model. A comparative study with a commercial granular activated carbon （GAC） showed that PAC was 10.3 times more efficient compared to GAC based on Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity. Further analysis results by the Langmuir equation showed that HNO3 [20% （by mass）] modified PAC has larger adsorption capacity of Pb^2＋ from aqueous solution （as much as 35.5 mg·g^-1）. The adsorption capacity enhancement ascribed to pore widening, increased cation-exchange capacity by oxygen groups, and the promoted hydrophilicity of the carbon surface.

The role of adsorbent pore size distribution in multicomponent adsorption on activated carbon

The impact of adsorbent pore size distribution (PSD) on adsorption mechanism for the multi solute system was evaluated in this study. Anoxic and oxic adsorption equilibrium for the single solute (phenol), binary solute (phenol/2-methylphenol) and ternary solute (phenol/2-methylphenol/2-ethylphenol) systems on one granular activated carbon (GAC) F400 and two types of activated carbon fibers (ACFs), namely, ACC-10 and ACC-15, were determined. F400 has a wide PSD, while ACC-10 and ACC-15 have narrow PSD and their critical pore diameters are 8.0 Å and 12.8 Å, respectively. In single solute adsorption, the increase of adsorptive capacity under oxic conditions as compared to anoxic ones was related to the PSD of the adsorbent. Binary solute adsorption on ACC-10 and ternary solute adsorption on ACC-15 indicated no impact of the presence of molecular oxygen on the adsorptive capacity and the adsorption isotherms were well predicted by the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST). Significant differences between oxic and anoxic isotherms were noticed for other multicomponent adsorption systems. The narrow PSD of ACFs was effective in hampering the oligomerization of phenolic compounds under oxic conditions. Such a phenomenon will provide accurate predictions of fixed bed adsorbers in water treatment systems.

Adsorption/desorption of phenols onto granular activated carbon in a liquid–solid fluidized bed

The adsorption/desorption of phenols in aqueous solution onto coconut‐shell granular activated carbon (GAC) in a liquid–solid fluidized bed adsorber approaching saturation capacity was investigated. Experiments were carried out using a 20 mm id adsorber under a variety of operating conditions including GAC particle sizes (0.937, 1.524 mm), GAC mass (12, 24 g), influent phenol concentration (0.367–1.071 mmol dm⁻³), surface loading of GAC (2.0, 2.5 mmol g⁻¹) and liquid flow rate (0.15, 0.2, 0.35 dm³ min⁻¹). The effect of repetitive adsorption/desorption cycles on the adsorption capacity has also been examined for phenol/GAC systems. The model based on the external mass transfer with film‐surface diffusion, surface adsorption equilibrium and internal mass transfer was proposed to simulate the breakthrough curves of the phenol adsorption/desorption process. Using the experimentally measured Langmuir isotherm equilibrium parameters in the model has been found to describe reasonably well the experimental results. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry

Treatment of an industrial chemical waste‐water using a granular activated carbon adsorption‐microwave regeneration process

BACKGROUND: Industrial waste‐water is posing an ever‐greater environmental hazard. Recently, a process for purification combining activated carbon adsorption and microwave regeneration has drawn much attention. In this study, the effectiveness of this process for the treatment of industrial waste‐water from a chemical plant was tested. RESULTS: The effects of various factors including solution pH, granular activated carbon (GAC) dosage and contact time on the adsorption efficiency of organic compounds were studied. The regeneration of the exhausted GAC under microwave radiation was investigated, and the optimal conditions were: microwave power 400 W, radiation time 3 min for 10 g GAC. Under the optimal conditions the regenerated GAC recovered 97.6% of its original adsorption capacity. Repetitive uses of the GAC showed that it maintained a stable performance in the first few repetitions, but a decrease was observed after further repetitions. A GAC weight loss of about 10% at the sixth repetition was observed and a decrease in the surface area and increase in the surface basicity were observed for the regenerated GAC. Economic evaluation of the microwave regeneration process suggested that the total cost was about 24.3% of the GAC price at a pilot scale. CONCLUSIONS: A satisfactory regeneration of the chemical waste‐water exhausted GAC could be achieved under microwave radiation. The GAC adsorption‐microwave regeneration process was applicable for the treatment of this chemical waste‐water. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

Quaternary nitrogen activated carbons for removal of perchlorate with electrochemical regeneration

Positively charged nitrogen functional groups were introduced onto the surface of granular activated carbon (GAC), and these increased perchlorate anion removal from drinking water sources. Nitrogen functionalization involved three treatment steps: (1) introducing oxygen groups onto the GAC, (2) incorporating nitrogen groups by thermal treatment in ammonia flow to replace O with N, and (3) quaternerizing pyridine-like groups to create positively charged pyridinium-like groups. Functionalized bituminous GAC provided 6 times more perchlorate removal than its predecessor, pristine bituminous GAC. The conversion of pyridine-like groups (after step 2) to pyridinium-like groups by quaternization (step 3) was confirmed by analysis of the XPS N 1s signals and surface charge analysis. Redox peaks, observed during cyclic voltammetry analysis of the functionalized GAC, evidenced that these nitrogen functional groups were electrochemically active, so that they sorbed perchlorate when they were oxidized, and then desorbed perchlorate when reduced. Moreover, after sorbing perchlorate onto pyridinium-GAC in RSSCTs, the GAC media could be regenerated by electrochemical reduction, and its capacity for perchlorate adsorption was mostly restored. This tailored functionality and redox regeneration of a relatively inexpensive media such as activated carbon could offer novel opportunity to the adsorption industry.

Sulfur removal from model diesel fuel using granular activated carbon from dates’ stones activated by ZnCl2

Samples of granular activated carbon (GAC) were produced from dates’ stones by chemical activation using ZnCl₂ as an activator. Textural characteristics of GAC were determined by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K along with application of BET equation (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) for determination of surface area. Pore size distribution and pore volumes were computed from N₂ adsorption data by applying the nonlinear density function theory (NLDFT). FT-IR spectra of GAC samples were also obtained to determine the functional groups present on the surface. GAC samples were used in desulfurization of a model diesel fuel composed of n-C₁₀H₃₄ and dibenzothiophene (DBT) as sulfur containing compound. More than 86% of DBT is adsorbed in the first 3 h which gradually increases to 92.6% in 48 h and no more sulfur is removed thereafter. The adsorption data were fitted to both Freundlich and Langmuir equations to estimate the adsorption parameters. The optimum operating conditions for GAC preparation based on high adsorption capacity are T_carb = 700 °C, θ_carb = 3.0 h and R = 0.5. Moreover, the efficiency of sulfur removal by GAC is reduced when applied to commercial diesel fuel. Finally, linear regression of experimental data was able to predict the critical pore diameter for DBT adsorption (0.8 nm) and validating the reported impact of average pore diameter of activated carbon on the adsorption capacity.     

Investigation of relation between both sulfur removal and adsorption capacity with surface morphology of a pyrolysed Turkish lignite

In considering with morphological physicochemical transformations of the coal samples pyrolysed in CO₂ atmosphere at different temperatures, the change of their adsorptive capacities have been investigated. It was seen that the change occurred in the monolayer adsorption capacities as parallel to morphological transformations of the coal surface is particularly connected with the amount of organic sulfur present in the coal matrix. Adsorption capacity is not affected from the contents of pyritic sulfur and ash of coal samples. The measurements of zeta potential of the pyrolysed coal samples also showed that pyrolysis modified the functional groups on surface of the coal, depending on the pyrolysis temperature.     

A study of adsorption behavior of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid onto various GACs

Adsorption and desorption of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) onto granular activated carbon (GAC) were studied to get basic information on their removal from aqueous solution. Single species adsorption equilibria of 2,4-D dissolved in water have been measured using F400, SLS103, and WWL. Equilibrium capacity increased with decreasing pH. The magnitude of adsorption capacity of 2,4-D was the order of F400> SLS103>WWL. Kinetic parameters were measured in a batch adsorber to analyze the adsorption rate of 2,4-D. The internal diffusion coefficients were determined by comparing the experimental concentration curve with that predicted from the surface diffusion model (SDM) and Pore diffusion model (PDM). The linear driving force approximation (LDFA) model was used to simulate isothermal adsorption behaviors in a fixed bed adsorber and successfully simulated experimental adsorption breakthrough behavior under various operation conditions. This paper is dedicated to Professor Dong Sup Doh on the occasion of his retirement from Korea University.

Adsorption characteristics of antibiotics trimethoprim on powdered and granular activated carbon

The adsorption characteristics of trimethoprim (TMP) onto powdered activated carbon (PAC) and granular activated carbon (GAC) were studied. The adsorption isotherms could be plotted using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Toth models with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Toth isotherm model was better for describing the adsorption equilibrium than Freundlich model, even though the Langmuir model also agreed with the experimental data well. It shows that the Toth model is adequate for fitting equilibrium data for adsorption of TMP on both PAC and GAC in this study. Fixed-bed breakthrough curves were studied under various operating conditions. The performances of the fixed-bed GAC system was also simulated by a model developed with homogeneous surface diffusion model (HSDM).     

Ultra-deep desulfurization and denitrogenation of diesel fuel by selective adsorption over three different adsorbents: A study on adsorptive selectivity and mechanism

Adsorptive desulfurization and denitrogenation were studied using a model diesel fuel, which contains sulfur, nitrogen and aromatic compounds, over three typical adsorbents (activated carbon, activated alumina and nickel-based adsorbent) in a fixed-bed adsorption system. The adsorptive capacity and selectivity for the various compounds were examined and compared on the basis of the breakthrough curves. The electronic properties of the adsorbates were calculated by a semi-empirical quantum chemical method and compared with their adsorption selectivity. Different adsorptive selectivities in correlation with the electronic properties of the compounds provided new insight into the fundamental understanding of the adsorption mechanism over different adsorbents. For the supported nickel adsorbent, the direct interaction between the heteroatom in the adsorbates and the surface nickel plays an important role. The adsorption selectivity on the activated alumina depends dominantly on the molecular electrostatic potential and the acidic–basic interaction. The activated carbon shows higher adsorptive capacity and selectivity for both sulfur and nitrogen compounds, especially for the sulfur compounds with methyl substituents, such as 4,6-methyldibenzothiophene. Hydrogen bond interaction might play an important role in adsorptive desulfurization and denitrogenation over the activated carbon. Different adsorbents may be suitable for separating different sulfur compounds from different hydrocarbon streams.
