Abstract

Polyaniline-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PAn-PSS) hydrogels-based powdered activated carbons (PAC) were prepared and investigated. Structural properties of PAC were characterized by nitrogen absorption–desorption and elemental analysis. Surface properties of PAC were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Activated carbon particles possessed high mesopore ratio of 54 % which can ensure the smooth entrance of the adsorbates of proper size. On the other hand, these materials were nitrogen-enriched due to the PAn-PSS precursor. Amino groups are tended to form chemical bonds with certain adsorbates which help intensify the interaction between PAC and certain adsorbates, thus promote their adsorption on PAC. The adsorption behavior of creatinine on these activated carbon particles was also studied. In comparison with the coconut shell activated carbon particles, PAC showed a better (P < 0.05, statistically) adsorption ability of 341.2 mg/g. Freundlich model was employed to describe the isothermal adsorption behavior of creatinine on PAC and the coefficient of determination (R 2) was greater than 0.98. Moreover, the study of the adsorption kinetics showed that the equilibrium condition of creatinine adsorption on PAC can be reached within 7 h and the adsorption ratio was 53.7 %. Kinetic adsorption data were well fitted according to the pseudo-second-order model, implying that it was a chemisorption process and the adsorption mechanism involved intermolecular H-bonding between adsorbent and adsorbate.
