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...
متن کاملImproved phenol adsorption on carbons after mild temperature steam reactivation.
The purpose of this work is to explore steam reactivation at moderate temperatures of activated carbon exhausted with phenol, a highly toxic compound frequently present in industrial wastewater. The spent carbon was treated with steam at various temperatures (450, 600 and 850 degrees C) and times (from 5 to 60 min). Promising results were obtained by applying moderate temperatures and times. Wh...
متن کاملAdsorption-induced deformation of microporous carbons: pore size distribution effect.
We present a thermodynamic model of adsorption-induced deformation of microporous carbons. The model represents the carbon structure as a macroscopically isotropic disordered three-dimensional medium composed of stacks of slit-shaped pores of different sizes embedded in an incompressible amorphous matrix. Adsorption stress in pores is calculated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The proposed...
متن کاملEffect 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...
متن کاملPreparation, characterization and phenol adsorption capacity of activated carbons from African beech wood sawdust
In the present study, different activated carbons were prepared from carbonized African beech wood sawdust by potassium hydroxide activation. The activated carbons were characterized by brunauer–emmett–teller, scanning electron microscope, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analyzer. The phenol adsorption capacity of the prepared carbons was evaluated. The d...
