Abstract

Sorption properties of activated carbon prepared from peach wood by chemical activation with phosphoric acid toward copper ions were studied. The produced activated carbons were characterized by N2 adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, Boehm titration, potentiometric titration and Fourier transform infrared techniques. The highest surface area (588 m2/g) and total pore volume (0.19 cm3/g) were obtained at a carbonization temperature of 600 °C with an impregnation ratio of 1/1. We have found that the dependence of Cu2+ ions adsorption on their concentration in the solution on these carbons is adequately described by Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm equations. The analysis of kinetic data indicates that the adsorption process is described by equations of mixed diffusion kinetics (with some predominance of external diffusion) and equations of pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order models. Sorption kinetics describe of the ions under study shows that the pseudo-second-order equation allows describing experimental data with higher correlation coefficients R2. Study of the effect of the concentration of phosphoric acid used for chemical activation on the texture and sorption properties of the resulting carbons showed that the optimal concentration of H3PO4 was 20%. In the present study the numerical value of adsorption of the mean free energy is 13.36 kJ mol −1 which corresponds to ion-exchange process. Quantum-chemical calculations show that oxygen-containing (carboxyl, phenolic, carbonyl) surface groups and various phosphorus-containing groups participate in adsorption of copper ions on the carbons under consideration.
