Capillary Adsorption of Nanostructure Carbonic Materials for Nitrobenzene in Wastewater

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aims of this work were to make use of carbonic materials to remove nitrobenzene in wastewater and investigate adsorption mechanism. The adsorption ability of different carbonic materials for nitrobenzene was compared. It was found that carbon nanotubes and carbon black exhibited higher adsorptive capacity than coconut activated carbon and granular activated carbon at the same experimental conditions. The specific surface areas and pore distribution was obtained by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption. We concluded that the capillary condensation in mesopores played an important role in the adsorption process owing to special nanostructure of carbon nanotubes and carbon black.
