Preparation and Characterization of Magnetic Coal-Based Activated Carbon in the Presence of Fe3O4

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnetic coal-based activated carbon was prepared from Taixi anthracitic coal in the presence of magnetite (Fe3O4). The magnetic activated carbon samples were characterized by N2 adsorption, XRD, FTIR and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It was found that the magnetic activated carbon had a high surface area of 993.5 m2/g with 4% Fe3O4 and a saturation magnetization of 2.4158 emu/g for magnetic separability. The results showed that the magnetic properties of MAC are provided by Fe3O4 and Fe. In the presence of Fe3O4, the rate of carbonization and activation increase to form a large surface area and a high pore volume. Moreover, the addition of Fe3O4 can greatly promote the number of both micro-pores and meso-pores in activated carbon.
