Adsorption Curve

After activated carbon is oxidized and modified with nitric acid (1:1), its cation exchange capacity can amount to 1.840 mmol • g-1. The modified activated carbon is used as adsorbent for the treatment of Cr (Ⅵ)-containing wastewater at room temperature, and its removal mechanism is discussed in this paper. It is shown that: when the pH value of the aqueous solution being 2.5-3.0;the adsorption time being 3.0h, the removal rate of Cr (Ⅵ) in the aqueous solution can reach 97% and its adsorption capacity can amount to 45.66 mg • g-1. From the results, it can be also seen that the adsorption curve to chromium in wastewater by the modified activated carbon better meets the Freundlich isotherm, and ion exchange adsorption mainly does its work.

The structure and surface chemical properties of activated carbon after nitric acid modification and their influences on adsorption and catalytic ozonation of acid red 3R were investigated. The results showed that both specific surface area and micropore volume of activated carbon decreased, but mesopore volume increased after nitric acid modification. The adsorption capacity and catalytic ozonation performance of modified activated carbon were influenced due to the increased surface acidic functional groups. The adsorption capacity of modified activated carbon was enhanced under acidic condition due to dispersion interaction between increased surface acidic functional groups and acid red 3R. The increase in surface acidic functional groups of activated carbon was also considered to be responsible for improvement of the catalytic ozonation of acid red 3R under alkaline condition, because of their participation in the ozone decomposition and OH generation.
