Adsorption of cefotaxim sodium on activated carbons of various origin

Understanding Phenol Adsorption Mechanisms on Activated Carbons

The interactions between phenol molecules and activated carbons were investigated in order to understand the adsorption mechanism of this aromatic compound. A series of activated carbons with varied chemical composition but similar porous features were synthesized and submitted to phenol exposure from aqueous phase, followed by thermogravimetric analysis and identification of the desorbed speci...

Sodium on the Surface of Activated Carbons as a Factor Enhancing Reactive Adsorption of Dibenzothiophene

Based on the results described in the literature on the reactivity of sodium towards DBT and its derivates, the effect of sodium dispersed on the surface of a carbonaceous support on the removal of DBT from hexane solution at ambient conditions has been investigated. Since the main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the effect of sodium on the reactive adsorption of DBT from an organic s...

Effect of porous texture on hydrogen adsorption in activated carbons

Physisorption-based hydrogen (H 2) storage in microporous carbons has a trade-off between adsorption capacity and adsorption enthalpy [5]. Conceptually, this problem is best illustrated in terms of the ideal slit pore formed from two parallel, semi-infinite graphite slabs. Packing density is maximized when the pore width is several times larger than the diameter of the H 2 molecule, since it pe...

Study the Static Adsorption/Desorption of Formaldehyde on Activated Carbons

The analysis of surface and pores of activated carbons by the adsorption of various gases

The analysis of surface and pores of activated carbons oxidized to various degrees has been carried out on the basis of adsorption isotherms of nitrogen, water and several organic compounds. The reason for the large hysteresis of isotherms of water was ascribed to the structure formation of water in the micropores caused by the hydrophobic interaction at water-carbon inferface. INTRODUCTION The...
