Adsorption isotherms of phenol, p-nitrophenol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid at three temperatures in the range 1–40° C on activated carbon have been obtained experimentally. Curve fitting to several theoretical equations shows that the Prausnitz equation gives the lowest deviations (1–3%). An inversion of the adsorption capacity of phenol with temperature has been observed, probably as a consequence of the high microporosity of the carbon and the restricted accessibility of phenol to the smaller pores. Adsorption at 40°C is also accompanied by the degradation of phenol by aerobic micro-organisms (ficomicetus-type fungi). Approximate values of the isosteric heats of adsorption of p-nitrophenol have been calculated, being in the range 5.8–6.5 kcal/mol. Differences in the behaviour of the three adsorbates are commented upon in terms of their physicochemical properties.

In this investigation, nine typical compounds, i.e., phenol, 2-aminophenol, aniline, 2-chlorophenol, chlorobenzene, β-naphthol, naphthalene, α-naphthylamine and α-chloronaphthalene were introduced to evaluate the effects of the molecular structure and physicochemical properties of these selected adsorbates on the adsorption capacity and desorption efficiency of the activated carbon. Both the thermal and chemical regeneration methods were employed to compare the regeneration efficiencies among these adsorbates and adsorbent.

Adsorption Data

Char derived from pyrolysis of physic nut waste at 400-800°C was used for the preparation of activated carbon by chemical impregnation of phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide. The original char exhibited the BET surface area in the range of 120-250 m2·g-1. The surface area increased to 480 and 532 m2·g-1 when activated with H3PO4 and KOH, respectively. Equilibrium adsorption data was found to be best represented by the Langmuir isotherm with maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 560.13 mg·g-1 at 30°C. The adsorption capacity of the physic nut residue activated carbon was comparable to commercial activated carbon.

The objective of this research is to prepare high surface area activated carbon (AC) from agricultural biomass materials–pine nut shells–by the method of carbonization and alkaline activation. Adsorption isotherms of creatinine (CR) by pine nut shell-based high surface area activated carbon (AC) from aqueous medium have been studied. The results have been found that samples have larger capacity for removing CR from solution. The adsorption capacity of CR as intensity at first 50 min. After 50 min, it’s smooth and steady. The carbons prepared with KOH could be effectively used for the removal of CR.

Activated carbon (AC) was pretreated by H2O2 or HNO3 and then loaded with cerium to obtain Ce/AC composites as desulfurization adsorbents. The adsorption isotherms of as-prepared Ce/AC composites for dibenzothiophene were measured in static batch desulfurization of model fuel and compared with the one prepared without AC pretreatment. It was found that both H2O2 and HNO3 pretreatment could enhance the adsorption capacity of Ce/AC composites. The results were discussed in terms of surface chemistry and texture property. The improvement could be related to increased surface acidic groups and better dispersion of loaded metal species bought about by the two pretreatment methods

Activated carbon was successfully generated from the mixture of corn cob and petai hull which served as adsorbents for Pb (II) ion removal at an aqueous solution. The activation was done using KOH at 800°C carbonization temperature. Synthetic waste used in the various concentration of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 ppm. The adsorption process was carried out at 30 minutes, the ratio of adsorbent mass was grouped as B (1:3 corn cobnative activated carbon/petai hullnative activated carbon), C (1:1 corn cobnative activated carbon/petai hullnative activated carbon), D (3:1, corn cobnative activated carbon/petai hullnative activated carbon), and H (1:1, corn cobmodifiedactivated carbon/petai hullmodifiedactivated carbon). The results showed that the highest adsorption capacity was found in H adsorbent that was 2,368 mg/g at concentration 300 ppm. Dubinin model fit the adsorption isotherms of B, C, D, and H.

In-vitro experiments were performed to investigate the extent of adsorption of isoniazid to activated charcoal and locally produced activated carbon black (N220) and to explore the effect of varying pH on this adsorption. The results of the study indicated that activated charcoal and activated carbon black adsorbed isoniazid effectively. Adsorption was dependent upon the quantity of charcoal used. With charcoal quantity at 0.5 g, adsorption was virtually completed within 60 min. The mean or composite adsorption capacity of activated charcoal and activated carbon black (?g ml-1 of charcoal) were 325 and 278, respectively. The result of adsorption isotherms indicated no change in binding capacity of the drug from solutions of different pH.

This paper reports the adsorption ability of banana pith activated carbon, with ZnCl2 as the porogen, towards carbaryl (1-naphthyl- N-methylcarbamate) from aqueous solution. The pH-edge experiments revealed that carbaryl adsorption onto ZnCl2-treated banana pith activated carbon (ZTC) was a pH-dependent process with maximum adsorption occurring at pH 11. The adsorption isotherm obtained at pH 11 revealed that ZTC possessed a maximum adsorption capacity of 45.9 mg/g. The adsorption isotherms were well described by the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The kinetic data obtained at different initial carbaryl concentrations were modelled using pseudo-first- and -second-order models. Acetone successfully desorbed carbaryl with a 99.8% elution efficiency.

Adsorption isotherms of 3 extracts (concentrated aromatics) have been determined on molecular sieve 13X from solution in iso-octane at 303 and 343 K. The concentration of aromatic compounds before and after adsorption was determined using ultraviolet spectroscopic method of analysis. Values of the adsorption capacity and adsorption coefficient were determined from an equation for pore filling model. The three extract fractions showed a strong affinity for adsorption by molecular sieve. Heats of adsorption of the 3 extract fractions were calculated from adsorption and found to be in the range of 4-20 kJ mol-1.
