Thermodynamics of Phenol Adsorption onto Activated Carbon Fiber

Article Preview

Abstract:

The adsorption of phenol onto activated carbon fiber (ACF) from aqueous solutions were studied. The adsorption isotherms of phenol onto ACF at 298.15 K,303.15 K and 308.15K follow the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equation. The Freundlich model was verified to be the best to describe the adsorption data.Values of ∆G0 for phenol adsorption onto ACF are-8.549、-7.899 and -7.516 kJ•mol-1 at 298.15,303.15and 308.15K , respectively. The values of ∆H0 and ∆S0 are -39.30 kJ•mol-1 and -103.3 J.mol-1.k-1, respectively. The adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. Negative △S0 values suggested the randomness of phenol molecules at solid-liquid interface and an decrease in the degree of freedom of the adsorbed species.
