In this research, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were functionalized by oxidation with strong acids HNO, HSO, and HO. Then, magnetite/MWCNTs nanocomposites were prepared and polystyrene was added to prepare polystyrene/MWCNTs/magnetite (PS:MWCNTs:Fe) nanocomposites. The magnetic property of the prepared nano-adsorbent PS:MWCNTs:Fe was successfully checked. For characterization, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and BET surface area were used to determine the structure, morphology, chemical nature, functional groups, and surface area with pore volume of the prepared nano-adsorbents. The adsorption procedures were carried out for fresh MWCNTs, oxidized MWCNTs, MWCNTs-Fe, and PS:MWCNTs:Fe nanocomposites in batch experiments. Toluene standard was used to develop the calibration curve. The results of toluene adsorption experiments exhibited that the PS:MWCNTs:Fe nonabsorbent achieved the highest removal efficiency and adsorption capacity of toluene removal. The optimum parameters for toluene removal from water were found to be 60 min, 2 mg nano-sorbent dose, pH of 5, solution temperature of 35 °C at 50 mL volume, toluene concentration of 50 mg/L, and shaking speed of 240 rpm. The adsorption kinetic study of toluene followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics, with the best correlation (R) value of 0.998, while the equilibrium adsorption study showed that the Langmuir isotherm was obeyed, which suggested that the adsorption is a monolayer and homogenous.
在本研究中,多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)通过用强酸HNO₃、H₂SO₄和H₂O₂氧化进行功能化处理。然后,制备了磁铁矿/MWCNTs纳米复合材料,并添加聚苯乙烯以制备聚苯乙烯/MWCNTs/磁铁矿(PS:MWCNTs:Fe)纳米复合材料。成功检测了所制备的纳米吸附剂PS:MWCNTs:Fe的磁性。为了进行表征,使用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、拉曼光谱和BET表面积来确定所制备纳米吸附剂的结构、形态、化学性质、官能团以及具有孔体积的表面积。在批量实验中对新鲜的MWCNTs、氧化的MWCNTs、MWCNTs-Fe和PS:MWCNTs:Fe纳米复合材料进行了吸附过程。使用甲苯标准品绘制校准曲线。甲苯吸附实验结果表明,PS:MWCNTs:Fe纳米吸附剂实现了最高的甲苯去除效率和吸附容量。发现从水中去除甲苯的最佳参数为:60分钟、2毫克纳米吸附剂剂量、pH值为5、溶液温度为35℃、体积为50毫升、甲苯浓度为50毫克/升以及振荡速度为240转/分钟。甲苯的吸附动力学研究遵循准二级动力学,最佳相关系数(R)值为0.998,而平衡吸附研究表明符合朗缪尔等温线,这表明吸附是单层且均匀的。
