This study aimed to improve the adsorption capacity of activated carbon (AC) towards naphthalene (NAP) in aqueous solutions. Starch-based AC (SAC) and pulverized coal-based AC (PCAC) were prepared in a one-pot procedure by activation with oleic acid and KOH under microwave heating. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface areas reached 725.0 and 912.9 m2/g for in situ modified SAC (O-SAC1) and PCAC (O-PCAC1), respectively. π–π bond, H-bond, and hydrophobic effects were directly involved in the NAP adsorption process. Batch adsorption data were well fitted by pseudo-second order kinetics and the Freundlich isotherm model. As compared to ACs prepared with only KOH activation, NAP adsorption capacities of PCAC and SAC prepared by the one-pot method increased by 16.9% and 13.7%, respectively. Influences of varying factors were investigated in column adsorption of NAP using O-SAC1 and O-PCAC1. Based on breakthrough curves analysis, the larger column height (H), lower flow rate (Q0), and lower initial concentration (C0) resulted in the longer breakthrough and exhaustion times in both cases. Specifically, we concluded that O-PCAC1 exhibits better adsorption capacity than O-SAC1 in the given conditions. The optimized operating parameters were 1 cm (H), 1 mL/min (Q0) and 30 mg/L (C0). Finally, column adsorption data could be well fitted by the Thomas model.

Copper, as an inseparable part of many industrial discharges, threatens both public and environmental health. In this work, an electrochemical cell utilizing a cellulosic separator was used to evaluate Cu removal using graphite anodes and stainless steel cathodes in a continuous-flow mode reactor. In the experimental matrix, Cu concentration (1–5 mg L−1), electrolysis time (20–90 min), and current intensity (0.1–0.4 A) were employed. Results showed that the maximum removal efficiency of copper was obtained as 99%. The removal efficiency was independent of initial copper concentration and directly related to electrolysis time and current intensity. Energy consumption was more dependent on current intensity than electrolysis time. Under optimal conditions (75.8 min electrolysis time, 0.18 A current intensity, and 3 mg L−1 copper concentration), the removal efficiency was obtained as 91% while 7.05 kWh m−3 electrical energy was consumed. The differences between the actual and predicted data under optimal conditions were 0.42% for copper removal and 0.23% for energy consumption, which signify the performance and reliability of the developed models. The results exhibited the suitability of the electrochemical reduction for copper removal from aqueous solutions, which was facilitated under alkaline conditions prevailing in the cathodic compartment due to applying a cell divided by a cellulosic separator.
