In this study, the novel activated carbon developed from fruit stone, through hydrothermal treatment at low pressure and temperature, was utilized for the removal of 4-nitrophenol, 4-chlorophenol, and phenol from water. The activated carbon produced (AC-HTPEFS) showed a well-developed porosity with a surface area of 569 m g and a total pore volume of 0.342 cm g. The adsorption process was explored and efficiently applied regarding the removal of phenols and substituted phenols from wastewater. Thermodynamic analyses indicated that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. To analyze the equilibrium data, different isotherm models were employed. The Langmuir model applied best, with maximum adsorption capacities of 0.463, 0.434, and 0.387 mmol g at 25 °C for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), and phenol, respectively, regarding the AC-HTPEFS. The adsorption was mainly an endothermic process, and the results achieved were slightly higher than those obtained with a commercial activated carbon commonly used for this purpose.
在本研究中,由果核通过低压低温水热处理开发的新型活性炭被用于去除水中的4-硝基苯酚、4-氯苯酚和苯酚。所制备的活性炭(AC-HTPEFS)具有发达的孔隙结构,表面积为569 m²/g,总孔体积为0.342 cm³/g。对吸附过程进行了探索,并有效地应用于从废水中去除酚类和取代酚类。热力学分析表明,吸附过程是吸热且自发的。为了分析平衡数据,采用了不同的等温线模型。Langmuir模型拟合效果最佳,在25°C时,对于AC-HTPEFS,4-硝基苯酚(4-NP)、4-氯苯酚(4-CP)和苯酚的最大吸附容量分别为0.463、0.434和0.387 mmol/g。吸附主要是一个吸热过程,所获得的结果略高于为此目的常用的商业活性炭所获得的结果。
