溴素改性活性炭汞吸附特性研究

在固定床实验台上进行了1%NH_4Br改性活性炭汞吸附实验。利用吸附动力学模型从动力学角度探讨了汞吸附速率控制步,汞吸附活化能与初始汞吸附速率。结果表明:150℃时,1%NH_4Br改性活性炭脱汞能力显著增强,其原因是改性后活性炭表面活性位点(Br)明显增加,强化了化学吸附作用。但低温时,化学吸附增强作用不明显。汞在改性活性炭表面的吸附活化能为29.69 kJ/mol,说明吸附以物理吸附为主,化学吸附为辅。改性活性炭的初始汞吸附速率随温度增加而增加。活性位吸附是汞吸附速率控制步,外部传质控制也影响整个汞吸附过程,吸附遵循Langmuir吸附等温方程。

p-Chlorophenol adsorption on activated carbons with basic surface properties

The adsorption of p-chlorophenol (PCP) from aqueous solution on activated carbons (ACs) with basic surface properties has been studied. The ACs were prepared by two methods. The first method was based on the modification of a commercial CWZ AC by high temperature treatment in an atmosphere of ammonia, nitrogen and hydrogen. The second approach comprised the carbonization followed by activation of N-enriched polymers and coal tar pitch using CO₂ and steam as activation agent. The resultant ACs were characterized in terms of porous structure, elemental composition and surface chemistry (pH_PZC, acid/base titration, XPS). The adsorption of PCP was carried out from an aqueous solution in static conditions. Equilibrium adsorption isotherm was of L2 type for polymer-based ACs, whereas L3-type isotherm was observed for CWZ ACs series. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity was related to the porous structure and the amount of basic sites. A good correlation was found between the adsorption capacity and the volume of micropores with a width < 1.4 nm for polymer-based ACs. Higher nitrogen content, including that in basic form, did not correspond to the enhanced adsorption of PCP from aqueous solution. The competitive effect of water molecule adsorption on the PCP uptake is discussed.     

Adsorption and diffusion of argon confined in ordered and disordered microporous carbons

We use a combination of grand canonical Monte Carlo and microcanonical molecular dynamics simulations to study the adsorption and diffusion of argon at 77 K and 120 K confined in previously generated models of a disordered bituminous coal-based carbon, BPL, and an ordered carbon replica of Faujasite zeolite (C-FAU). Both materials exhibit a maximum in the diffusion coefficient as well as anomalous (sub-diffusive) behavior in the mean-squared displacements at short times at some relative pressures. In BPL, the anomalous diffusion occurs at low relative pressures, due to the trapping of argon atoms in small pores. In C-FAU, the anomalous diffusion occurs at high relative pressures, due to competitive diffusion of atoms traveling through windows and constrictions which interconnect the pores. All diffusion eventually tends to Fickian diffusion at longer times.     

Study of the energetic heterogeneity of the adsorption of phenol onto activated carbons by TPD under supercritical conditions

The Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) technique with liquid and supercritical water was used to study the heterogeneity of the adsorption of phenol onto different activated carbons. The presence of several desorption peaks in the spectra clearly indicated that phenol was adsorbed onto the activated carbon with different interaction energies. Calculation of the desorption activation energies revealed that most of the phenol was physisorbed, although a small part was always chemisorbed. The study of the textural characteristics of the carbons suggests that the width of the micropores governs the thermal desorption of the physisorbed phenol.     

Adsorption of aromatic compounds from the biodegradation of azo dyes on activated carbon

The adsorption of three selected aromatic compounds (aniline, sulfanilic acid and benzenesulfonic acid) on activated carbons with different surface chemical properties was investigated at different solution pH. A fairly basic commercial activated carbon was modified by means of chemical treatment with HNO₃, yielding an acid activated carbon. The textural properties of this sample were not significantly changed after the oxidation treatment. Equilibrium isotherms of the selected compounds on the mentioned samples were obtained and the results were discussed in relation to their surface chemistry. The influence of electrostatic and dispersive interactions involved in the uptake of the compounds studied was evaluated. The Freundlich model was used to fit the experimental data. Higher uptakes are attained when the compounds are present in their molecular form. In general, adsorption was disfavoured by the introduction of oxygen-containing groups on the surface of the activated carbon.

Adsorption of hydrogen and hydrocarbon molecules on SiC(001)

Adsorption of hydrogen and hydrocarbon molecules on semiconductor surfaces plays a key role in surface science and technology. Most studies have employed silicon (Si) as a substrate because of its paramount technological importance and scientific interest. However, other semiconductor substrates are gaining an increasing interest as well. Silicon carbide (SiC), which is a material with very special properties allowing developments of novel devices and applications, offers particularly fascinating new degrees of freedom for exceptional adsorption behaviour. For example, a very unusual hydrogen-induced metallization of a SiC(001) surface has been reported and hydrogen molecules show very different adsorption behaviour on different SiC(001) reconstructions although the latter exhibit very similar surface dimers. In marked contrast to the Si(001) surface, the adsorption of hydrocarbon molecules on SiC(001) can yield structurally well-defined adlayers in favourable cases which may have large potential for organic functionalization. We review and discuss theoretical ab initio results on conceivable adsorption scenarios of atomic and molecular hydrogen as well as acetylene, ethylene, butadiene, benzene and cyclohexadiene on various reconstructions of the SiC(001) surface. The main emphasize is on a detailed understanding of these adsorption systems and on identifying the physical origin of the particular adsorption behaviour. The results will be discussed in the light of related adsorption events on the Si(001) surface and in comparison with available experimental data.     

Factors affecting the adsorption of trichloroethylene onto activated carbons

In this work, an experimental study aimed at the assessment of the factors affecting the adsorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) from water solutions onto activated carbons is presented. The influence of sorbent properties, such as B.E.T. surface area, micropore volume, chemical composition and acid/basic surface functional groups on TCE adsorption capacity is experimentally assessed by testing a set of 12 sorbents. Moreover, the effect of the presence of other species in solution, such as sodium acetate and tetrachloroethylene (PCE), is studied through parametric TCE adsorption isotherms realization. The experimental results show that the TCE adsorption capacity is promoted by a high B.E.T. surface area, micropore volume and C content and it is significantly affected by the presence of a non-ionic compound of similar structure (PCE), however it does not depend on the presence of an organic salt (sodium acetate). These results confirm that neither TCE-carbon ionic interaction nor sorbent ionization phenomena are involved in the TCE adsorption, since its mechanism is based on dispersion forces (London-Van Der Walls interaction). A thorough analysis of the experimental data set suggests that, in consideration of the TCE adsorption mechanism, the maximization of basal plane extent (as the B.E.T. surface area) and its effective fraction (as the C content) is a valid criterion to select or synthesize a new suitable sorbent for TCE adsorption from waters.     

Removal of organic contaminants from aqueous solution by cattle manure compost (CMC) derived activated carbons

The activated carbons (ACs) prepared from cattle manure compost (CMC) with various pore structure and surface chemistry were used to remove phenol and methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of two organic contaminants onto the ACs were investigated and the schematic models for the adsorptive processes were proposed. The result shows that the removal of functional groups from ACs surface leads to decreasing both rate constants for phenol and MB adsorption. It also causes the decrement of MB adsorption capacity. However, the decrease of surface functional groups was found to result in the increase of phenol adsorption capacity. In our schematic model for adsorptive processes, the presence of acidic functional groups on the surface of carbon is assumed to act as channels for diffusion of adsorbate molecules onto small pores, therefore, promotes the adsorption rate of both phenol and MB. In phenol solution, water molecules firstly adsorb on surface oxygen groups by H-bonding and subsequently form water clusters, which cause partial blockage of the micropores, deduce electrons from the π-electron system of the carbon basal planes, hence, impede or prevent phenol adsorption. On the contrary, in MB solution, the oxygen groups prefer to combine with MB⁺ cations than water molecules, which lead to the increase of MB adsorption capacity.     

Kinetics and equilibrium of adsorption of organic solutes on mesoporous carbons

Static and kinetic studies on adsorption of nitrobenzene, 4-nitrophenol and 4-chlorophenol on two mesoporous carbons are performed. The carbon properties are analyzed by means of nitrogen adsorption. The adsorption experiments are performed in acidic buffer solutions in a wide range of concentrations. The static experiments are analyzed by means of Langmuir-Freundlich and Freundlich isotherms. The Lagergren, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle-diffusion and multi-exponent equations are used in the analysis of kinetic equilibria.     

Surface and adsorptive properties of carbons prepared from biomass

A number of activated carbons were prepared from a locally available by-product, corncobs, under currently established activation schemes. Obtained carbons were characterized by N₂ adsorption at 77 K and the isotherms were analyzed by BET and α_s methods. Steam-activation at 900 °C produced a microporous carbon having the highest S^α of 788 m² g⁻¹, whereas activation with air at 350 °C produced a carbon of S^α = 321 m²/g and possess wider pores. KOH impregnation with char in ratio 1:1 (w/w) and impregnated in the same ratio with the raw material prior to pyrolysis at 700 °C for 1 h, gave CK700, K700 respectively. An additional sample was obtained by oxidizing part of K700 with conc. HNO₃. All three KOH carbons show pore structures much close to char itself which may be due to potassium salt left in pores and is not easily leached with repeated water washings. In addition, KOH is more effective on the precursor itself than on its char of already developed porosity. FT-IR spectra show an increase in oxygen functionalties on the carbon surface as a result of activation process and the bands become stronger in the spectra of the acid-treated sample. The oxidized carbon sample showed relatively higher uptake of Pb²⁺ and MB and its surface chemistry plays the key role in their adsorption, while sharp decrease was observed in the uptake of phenol and mono-nitrophenols from aqueous solutions. An SEM study showed that air activation produce obvious voids reflecting its erosive effect on the external carbon surface.
