PG - 254-62 LID - S0147-6513(14)00053-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2014.01.038 [doi] AB - Activated carbon was prepared from Enteromorpha prolifera (EP) by H3PO4 activation in the presence of doped cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), producing EPAC-CTAB. The thermal decomposition process of the activated carbon substrate was identified by thermo-gravimetric analysis. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), N2 adsorption/desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Boehm titration, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties of native EPAC and EPAC-CTAB. EPAC-CTAB exhibited smaller surface area (689.0m(2)/g) and lower total pore volume (0.361cm(3)/g) than those of EPAC (1045.8m(2)/g and 1.048cm(3)/g), while the number of acidic groups, oxygen and nitrogen groups on the surface of EPAC-CTAB increased through CTAB doping. The batch kinetics and isotherm adsorption studies of nickel(II) onto the adsorbents were examined and agreed well with the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity determined from the Langmuir model was 16.9mg/g for EPAC and 49.8mg/g for EPAC-CTAB. Under acidic condition, the adsorption of nickel(II) onto EPAC and EPAC-CTAB was hindered due to ion competition and electrostatic repulsion. The results indicated that using CTAB as a dopant for EPAC modification could markedly enhance the nickel(II) removal. CI - Copyright (c) 2014. Published by Elsevier Inc.
