Two kinds of modified activated carbons were prepared by dipping with Zn(NO3)2 solution and by reducing in the atmosphere of N2 at high temperature respectively, which were characterized by FTIR,DSC,SEM and EDS. The surface structure was strongly changed in the process, along with the changes of chemical functional groups. The results of adsorption experiments revealed that the adsorbent capacities of UDMH gas at room temperature were enhanced obviously by modification compared with the raw activated carbon, especially dipped by transition metal solution. The mechanism probably involved was also discussed.

Abstract This work was aimed to evaluate the adsorptive properties of activated carbons from coffee residue for phenol removal. The coffee residue was activated using H3PO4 and KOH, and the resultant activated carbons were characterized for surface area and functional groups. The values of surface area were recorded as 1,030 m2/g and 399 m2/g for H3PO4- and KOH-activated carbons, respectively. The maximum capacity for phenol removal is comparable for both activated carbons at 43 mg/g. The pores might be inaccessible due to electrostatic repulsion by surface functional groups and hydroxyl anions. The second stage in a two-stage adsorber design is necessary to accomplish the process with high performance and minimum dosage of activated carbon. Coffee residue is a promising activated carbon precursor for phenol removal.

Jackfruit PPI-1 variety was selected as source of lignocellulose material. Its rind and pulp waste was used as precursor for preparation of activated carbon. K2CO3 was selected as activating agent to prepare activated carbon. Various carbons were prepared by changing the impregnation ratio (IR) at different temperatures. Activated carbon prepared at 600°C and at IR1 had good BET surface area (987m2 g-1) and yield (61.97%). In order to introduce different functional groups, this carbon was divided into two parts. One part was subjected to liquid phase oxidation with 0.1N HNO3 and the other part was soaked in 0.1N KOH for 3hours. SEM, FTIR, TPD, XRD and TGA analyses were done to identify surface morphological changes, nature of functional groups and thermal stability of activated carbons.
