Adsorption of three aromatic organic compounds (AOCs) by four types carbonaceous adsorbents [a granular activated carbon (HD4000), an fiber (ACF10), two single-walled nanotubes (SWNT, SWNT-HT), and a multiwalled nanotube (MWNT)] with different structural characteristics but similar surface polarities was examined in aqueous solutions. Isotherm results demonstrated the importance molecular sieving micropore effects adsorption AOCs porous adsorbents. In absence effect, linear relationship...
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent mobile fluoro-organic chemicals that have been detected in many water supplies, their recommended safe concentrations drinking as low 6 ng/L. Current technological advances suggest amine-containing sorbents can provide alternative solutions to PFAS control the treatment municipal wastewater at relatively concentrations. The objective this review is critical analysis development application for removal. removal by...
Uptake of two synthetic organic contaminants (SOCs), trichloroethylene and trichlorobenzene, by one coal-based wood-based granular activated carbon (GAC), modified using liquid-phase oxidation (HNO3) heat treatment in an inert atmosphere (N2), several different as-received GACs was compared. Carbons were characterized elemental analysis, surface area pore size distribution, water vapor adsorption, acid−base adsorption characteristics measured the Boehm technique, a mass titration/pH...
The adsorption of several different organic polyelectrolytes from aqueous solution by activated carbon was characterized. Polyelectrolytes included humic acids extracted peat and soil, polymaleic acid, a synthetic polymer identified as fulvic acid surrogate, natural matter in Huron River (Ann Arbor, MI) water. Isotherms individual ultrafiltration size fractions confirmed that smaller molecular components adsorb to greater extent on an adsorbent mass basis. weight distributions remaining...
Effects of aggregation and surface chemistry carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the adsorption three synthetic organic compounds (SOCs), phenanthrene (PNT), biphenyl (BP), 2-phenylphenol (2PP), were investigated using commercially available pristine functionalized single-walled (SWNTs), multiwalled (MWNTs). Theoretical calculations nitrogen analysis results demonstrated that CNTs led to a significant reduction in area (especially for SWNTs), but increase pore volume MWNTs) due interstices trapped...
