This document studies test methods on modification of activated carbon by potassium permanganate to adsorb Cu2+. Ensure all factors’ effects on Cu2+ removal. Use potassium permanganate solution to modify activated carbon, investigate main factors’ effects on Cu2+ removal and analyze mechanism by changing potassium permanganate solution concentration, adsorption time, activated carbon’s additive amount and temperature. The results show that modification of activated carbon by 0.03mol/L potassium permanganate solution (0.03K-GAC) can adsorb Cu2+ best. 0.03K-GAC’s removal rate on Cu2+ is 98% when the initial concentration of Cu2+ is 50mg/L, the additive amount of 0.03K-GAC is 2.0g, the pH value is 5.5, the temperature is 25°C and the adsorption time is 4h. Modification of activated carbon by potassium permanganate has good adsorbability on Cu2+. Potassium permanganate solution concentration, adsorption time and additive amount can influence the adsorption of Cu2+ by activated carbon. However, temperature’s influence on the effect of adsorption is non-significant.

Armeniaca sibirica shell activated carbon (ASSAC) magnetized by nanoparticle Fe3O4 prepared from Armeniaca sibirica shell was investigated to determine its adsorption for Hg2+ from wastewater. Fe3O4/ASSAC was characterized using XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller). Optimum adsorption parameters were determined based on the initial concentration of Hg2+, reaction time, reaction temperature, and pH value in adsorption studies. The experiment results demonstrated that the specific surface area of ASSAC decreased after magnetization; however the adsorption capacity and removal rate of Hg2+ increased 0.656 mg/g and 0.630%, respectively. When the initial concentration of Hg2+ solution was 250 mg/L and the pH value was 2, the adsorption time was 180 min and the temperature was 30 °C, and with the Fe3O4/ASSAC at 0.05 g, the adsorption reaching 97.1 mg/g, and the removal efficiency was 99.6%. The adsorption capacity of Fe3O4/ASSAC to Hg2+ was in accord with Freundlich isotherm models, and a pseudo-second-order kinetic equation was used to fit the adsorption best. The Gibbs free energy ΔGo < 0,enthalpy change ΔHo < 0, and entropy change ΔSo < 0 which manifested the adsorption was a spontaneous and exothermic process.

To improve the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon for phenol, copper nitrate was used to modify activated carbon. In detail, the absorption properties of modified activated carbon was studied by investigating the effects of adsorption time, pH, amount of modified activated carbon and initial concentration of phenol on the adsorption. And the dynamic and adsorbent model were obtained and explored. It shows that the removal rate of modified activated carbon for phenol was higher than the unmodified carbon, and the best removal rate can be obtained under the conditions of pH about 5, adsorption time of 2h, modified activated carbon dosage of 1.0g. The quasi-two rate equation was better to reflect the dynamics of modified activated carbon for phenol, with the initial concentration of phenol increased, equilibrium adsorption capacity and initial adsorption rate were greater. Both Freundlich and Langmuir model could reflect the adsorption behavior of modified activated carbon for phenol, while the Langmuir model was more properly.

In this study, a new composite was prepared for aniline adsorption by melt blending with EPDM as the matrix and natural zeolite was modified by microwave as the filler. The properties and some influential factors of composite for adsorption of aniline in the solutions were experimentally investigated, such as composite dosage, adsorption time and pH values. The results showed that in the case of the initial concentration of the aniline wastewater was 50mg/L, when the use level of composite was 1 g, pH value was 1, and the oscillating adsorption time was 2 h, the removal rate could be up to 92%.

The research used activated carbon fiber (ACF) as adsorbent to remove atrazine, a kind of herbicide. It set a series of static adsorption experiments under different solution temperature, pH value and initial concentration to get a optimum adsorption condition. The experiment shows that the optimum pH for the removal of atrazine is 7. The adsorption rate is highest at 20°C. The adsorption rate decreases while the initial concentration increases.

The microwave irradiation (MI) was found that it had significantly treatment efficiency for pollutants removal. It was developed to treat the alage in this paper. The granular activated carbon (GAC) was used as catalyst. The effect of the acting time, MI power, GAC amount and the initial concentration on alage removal were studied. The results showed: with the increasing of the acting time, MI power, GAC amount the alage removal rate were increased, but the effect of the initial concentration to alage removal was opposite; the optimum value of acting time, MI power and GAC amount were 5min, 450W and 3g respectively with the alage removal efficiency reached up to 100%. It also showed that with the alage removed under the MI the COD, SS were removed too. It was discovered that the oxidation process was basically in conformity with the first-order dynamic reaction(ln(C/C0)=-0.9371t+0.6744(R2=0.9472)).

The influences of adsorption temperature, adsorption time, dosing quantity, adsorption environment pH value, initial concentration and bamboo charcoal type on adsorption of bamboo charcoal adsorb ammonia nitrogen in wastewater are studied. The result shows that the maximum adsorption values are 1.1715 mg/g and 0.9115 mg/g respectively at 25°C and 40°C. Bamboo charcoal can easily absorb ammonia nitrogen at low temperature condition. 180 min is a suitable adsorption time. Increasing bamboo charcoal dosing quantity is helpful to improve efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen removal in wastewater, but the adsorption capacity is declining as bamboo charcoal dosing quantity increasing. Solution pH value has a great impact on the adsorbed amount, the adsorbed effect in alkaline solution is much better than in acid one’s. The adsorption ability of the moderate temperature bamboo charcoal is higher than the high temperature one’s.

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.

Nanoscale titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been fabricated through a sound sol-gel method at room temperature with Tetra-n-butyl Titanate as the precursor, and the particles are characterized by XRD and TEM techniques. The results manifest that the as-prepared TiO2 is amorphous with the anatase structure and its size is around 33.2nm. Five factors, including dosage of TiO2, initial concentration of diesel, pH value, photocatalytic degradation reaction time and the presence of H2O2, are considered in the diesel degradation experiments. An orthogonal test is carried out to optimize the photocatalytic degradation of diesel pollutants based on the single-factor experiments. It reveals that when the dosage of TiO2 is 1.0g/L, the initial concentration of diesel is 0.5g/L, pH value is 6, the reaction time is 4h and the H2O2 dosage is 0.09%, the removal rate of diesel pollutants can up to 88%. Besides, the influence of each factor on removing diesel can be arranged in decreasing order: initial concentration of diesel> photocatalytic reaction time> pH value> TiO2 dosage> H2O2 dosage.
