Characterization of a Sorbent Derived from Construction and Demolition Waste

Abstract:

Construction and demolition waste (C&D) was employed as a raw material to synthesize sorbent by fusion-hydrothermal process in order to effectively use this type of waste material. The specific surface area and the cation exchange capacity (CEC) values of the sorbent were 308.2 m² g^-1 and 625.6 mmol/100 g^-1, respectively. It was found that the sorbent was quite effective for ammonium ion due to the high CEC value. The sorbent possessed high PFOS sorption capacities after load with cationic surfactant (Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide, CTAB), the sorption capacities of CTAB-modified sorbents enhanced with the increase of CTAB loading amount. This study provides an effective way for the C&D waste utilization.
