PG - 31294-31308 LID - 10.1007/s11356-022-24403-9 [doi] AB - In this work, a novel adsorbent, activated carbon (PSAC) developed by the activation of pine sawdust's pyrolytic carbon (PSPC), is applied to adsorb 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The optimized preparation conditions of PSAC were presented. The results revealed that equilibrium adsorption capacity (q(e)) of PSAC was notably enhanced up to threefold compared with PSPC. The adsorbents were characterized by a variety of techniques such as SEM, XRD, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. The key factors (such as adsorbent dosage, pH, salt concentration, temperature, and contact time) influencing the adsorption process were also studied. The adsorption quantities of PSAC for 2,4-DCP and 4-CP were 135.7 mg.g(-1) and 77.3 mg.g(-1), respectively. The equilibrium adsorption of 4-DCP and 4-CP was suitable to be predicted by the Freundlich and Koble-Corrigan models, while kinetic process was better described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Elovich equation. The process was spontaneous. After repeated regeneration of PSAC with ethanol, the adsorption capacity of PSAC was not significantly reduced, indicating that PSAC can be recycled by regeneration after adsorption of 4-CP. This work provides a viable method to use activated carbon as an effective adsorbent for pollutant removal. CI - (c) 2022.
