Abstract: | This study aims to clarify the effects of carbon activation type and physical form on the extent of adsorption capacity and
desorption capacity of a bi-solute mixture of phenol and 2-chlorophenol (2-CP). For this purpose, two different PACs; thermally
activated Norit SA4 and chemically activated Norit CA1, and their granular countertypes with similar physical characteristics,
thermally activated Norit PKDA and chemically activated Norit CAgran, were used. The thermally activated carbons were better
adsorbers for phenol and 2-CP compared with chemically activated carbons, but adsorption was more reversible in the latter
case. 2-CP was adsorbed preferentially by each type of activated carbon, but adsorption of phenol was strongly suppressed
in the presence of 2-CP. The simplified ideal adsorbed solution (SIAS) model underestimated the 2-CP loadings and overestimated
the phenol loadings. However, the improved and modified forms of the SIAS model could better predict the competitive adsorption.
The type of carbon activation was decisive in the application of these models. For each activated carbon type, phenol was
desorbed more readily in the bi-solute case, but desorption of 2-CP was less compared with single-solute. This was attributed
to higher energies of 2-CP adsorption. |
