Preparation and Characterization of Polysulfone/Activated Carbon Composite Bead Form

Abstract:

Polysulfone/Activated Carbon (PSF/AC) composites in bead form were prepared for Rhodamine B sorption. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that pure PSF bead is smooth surface while PSF/AC bead presents the pore distribution. FT-IR spectra indicate the existence of AC on the PSF/AC bead surface. Under adsorption test of Rhodamine B, it was found that an increase in the AC content in PSF solution results in an increase in the percentages of dye adsorption from 1.38 % to 71.56% for pure PSF bead and PSF/AC added with 4 wt% of AC, respectively.
